That said, though some of the novelty has worn off, it's still worth standing in awe of what companies like Amazon and Google have accomplished in such an affordable product. This is not a speaker that will envelop you in music, but it's useful for casual listening nonetheless -- and at least marginally better than the current Nest Mini and third-gen Echo Dot.

As a result, the 2020 Dot feels non-essential. And if you're after sound quality or hoping to really jump-start your smart home, the $100 Echo will be a much better investment than a Dot. It remains a great entry point to voice assistance and the smart home, but I'd probably recommend a sale-priced, third-edition Dot before shelling out much more for the newest generation.

This is the problem of voice technology, and it remains mostly unchanged with this new Dot. Using a Dot, as with any Echo device, requires you to use an Amazon account, which means agreeing to the company's terms and conditions.

Amazon, like its competitors, profits immeasurably from people using their devices, talking to Alexa, teaching their technology and providing vast amounts of private data for free.
