I am enjoying my echo show. I came with a smart bulb at a discounted price. Works well together. Time display is good. Speaker is loud and connects to my phone so i don't have to be talking to a machine all the time. This was an upgrade from an echo dot. I love the screen size and everything.

This is my first Echo device and I’m blown away by how many features it offers—I’m still learning everything it can do! So far, my favorite feature is being able to check my outdoor camera right from bed. I can also control the temperature in my house, turn lights and fans on or off (even the one in my shower!), all with simple voice commands or a tap. The design is sleek and modern, so it looks great in any room. It’s been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup and I’m genuinely impressed by its functionality and convenience.

I recently upgraded to the Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen), and I absolutely love it! 🌟 The screen size is perfect for my desk, and it makes a great companion for checking the weather, setting timers, and video calls with friends and family. 📱💬 The sound quality is fantastic for its size, and the improved audio is definitely noticeable! 🔊 I also love the privacy features, like the camera shutter and mic off button—such a nice touch for peace of mind. 😊 Alexa’s responses are faster and more accurate, thanks to the AZ2 Neural Edge technology. It's like having a personal assistant right in front of me. 🙌 If you're looking for a compact, affordable smart display, I highly recommend the Echo Show 5! It's packed with features and perfect for any room in the house. 🏡👾

Initial Response for 1 May 2025: I feel this is a lightweight version of what they can offer. I felt disappointed in limited local "skills" (not fond of what they call them, hard to remember the name for available widgets/apps/programs). It seems as if this may be outdated soon? It has that feel to it. It was not as easy to set up as other digital things in my life are. It took a while. Not as modern as I had hoped. It has a beautiful display. The voice options are decent. I liked a few of them, though there weren't many options. I managed to launch "Wheel of Fortune" (skill/program/app), but I did not try it because I was showing my husband how good (and bad) it was working out for me. The music sounded good, what music I was able to access for free. Limited there, too. It tried to sell me a subscription by offering a trial. I hope that didn't go through. lol I said no. Easy to close shutter. Slides right over. :) Beautiful (already available) images in Photo Frame (Slide Show). The cord is white. For the charcoal version, as stated by another reviewer, it stands out. I was prepared for that. O.o I am still playing around with it. I just got it today. User Interface is definitely not my fave, but for this price, I feel I got what I paid for, and I am happy enough with that. What this cannot do, my computer, iPhone, and iPad can do. I guess, combined, I have what I need. lol Please read the other reviews and watch the prices, and versions released. I think both may matter. Technology can move fast sometimes. I suppose it depends on what you want it for, if you will like it. I'm really, really picky. ^.^ So far, not bad. 4/5, 8/10. Update: 3 May 2025 I'm learning it's "language" a bit better. Still settings things up. It seems to "learn" your interests by asking if you want it to show more or less of something. That has helped a lot! I can't find a way to give it a custom name, but I did find where you can change the name, so I did. :D It's growing on me. We're getting along pretty well, though I still think the software could use an update/tune up, as well as the user interface (UI).

This is one of the most undervalued products I have ever owned. I use my Echo Show 5 primarily as a smart alarm clock. Being able to set my alarm by talking to it is so convenient, I also use it to control the bedroom lights and play m e some nice music to sleep to. One day when I was sick and didn't want to get out of bed to retrieve a tablet, I was able to stream my Amazon Video Content on this device. Sure the screen is small, but laying on the bed watching it didn't strain my eyes at all. The sound was awesome, Amazon having put better speakers in this new version (from my gen 1 which is now in the workshop). The adaptive lighting and screen color based on the ambient light in the room is perfect. The Alexa Skills allow me to play games with Alexa, and she keeps me supplied with dad jokes for work. You can customize the types of push alerts the Echo Show 5 gives you, which allows to you greatly reduce the number of ads you see. All in all, the value for the money is amazing, and you will continually find new uses for this excellent little item!

I updated from the 2nd gen and 3rd gen Echo dots to pick up this. I am glad I did because now I can ask her to show me any of my blank cameras and it puts them on the screen or I could shuffle through them and make sure the property is safe. I did go out and buy a stand for this and it works pretty well but if you lean it Forward too much or backwards too much it does get a little unstable. That is not the fault of the unit that is strictly on the stand. I will upgrade to a larger screen unit more than likely on this year's Christmas sale pricing for Black Friday the screen size is small but the picture quality is good. I like that you can shut off the camera and the speaker to have a little bit more privacy. It does seem to have a little bit less responsiveness than the echo Dot, however she still does understand you and she does give you the information that you've requested. All in all I think it was a good upgrade and with your trade in at the moment you get 20% off of the item when you trade an item in. I believe you only get that one time so look around and make sure you're buying the right size and model before you click that button.

It does what it advertises. I’m very happy with the product.!😁

The stand is a no brainer as it allows the screen to be easily seen especially in the dark.

Makes the echo easier to use and looks good.

Upgraded from a regular echo to this in kitchen. Love it, especially having visual reminders of any timers set, being able to watch movies etc. only downside is no Netflix.
