Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought the echo Show 5 around 6 hours ago and so far I am liking it because its a decent alarm clock for my bedroom also the screen and speakers are pretty good also I like the fact that I can now control my Roku TV and govee smart lights just using Alexa even being able to use it as a security camera for my room and being able to use the echo show to watch prime video is really cool but I do have a few problems with the echo dot so far I’ve noticed that the charger falls out of the port way to easily also I hate the fact that you have sponsered ads right on the screen that you cant turn off and I have noticed that the device has been unresponsive at times especially compared to the google Nest Hub (7”) in my kitchen but except for these flaws its a good device

The Amazon Echo 3rd Gen is a versatile smart speaker with excellent sound quality, offering deep bass and crisp vocals for its size. Its voice assistant, Alexa, provides seamless control over smart home devices and access to a wide range of skills. The compact design fits well in any space, and the fabric finish adds a modern touch. While it lacks some advanced features of newer models, it delivers great value for its price and reliable performance for everyday use.

New to this smart home stuff somewhat easy setup alot to set up still learning how to use. Like the camera part so can see whar goin on at while at work

I am enjoying the show. I like the fact that you can drop in at anytime. I gave mine another name to keep it from getting confused with my other Alexa. I recommend buying the stand in which I am going back to purchase. It fits perfect on my night stand.

Mostly what I expected, the screen is bright and good quality and the speaker sounds nice. Only problem is the ads that pop up.

I work from home, and this device is the perfect assistant. It is great for reminders, and the additional visuals enhance the experience. I use a 4K Fire TV as my computer monitor, so I use the Echo Show as a voice remote control. When I am playing music at my desk it's nice to be able to use the screen to like, pause, or skip songs. I didn't expect to use this device so much but now that I have it I wish I had bought one sooner. The only thing that could be made better is the mic sensitivity. For me, it's a solid 4.5 stars

Works fine. Screen is a bit small. My fault for being cheap and not getting the bigger one.

I have been in bed deathly ill for 10 days, I have NOT even had time to set it up yet. But my friend has one and it is awesome so I'm assuming mine will be pretty amazing once I set it up. I got 2 blink doorbells & 2 doorbell mounts to use with it for my front & back doors (& a camera)... Hoping to get them set up tomorrow because the weather is supposed to be nice.

Very handy tool. Requires some getting used but is very smooth working

I had the Echo Show 8 and it worked great it was just too big, wanted something smaller for my desk. Only gripe is that I literally just want it to be a clock but it’s hard to disable all the widgets and opt out of all of Amazon’s subscription and data collection stuff. Was on sale for $40, wouldn’t pay more than that.

This was a purchase of a second echo for personal home use.

The Echo Show 5 is now on its third iteration of Amazon’s smart home device, with incremental improvements to the smallest Echo with a display. The exterior looks cleaner and modern with the fabric covering the entire device, apart from the 5.5” touchscreen with rounded corners. Out of the box, setup was quick and easy with the option to provision the device on your phone by scanning a QR code or setup on device if you prefer. Though Amazon pushes their sidewalk program to generously share your internet with strangers during setup, it is optional. Standard privacy features include a mute button as well as a physical camera shutter. Although I do not have a 2nd generation device to compare with, Amazon claims the sound has been improved partially thanks to a slightly larger internal speaker. I found the sound to be clear and pronounced, with fairly decent sound when listening nearby. The petite device is also quite capable of higher volume than expected, making it easy to hear from across the room. Though you lose the depth of the sound when not in close proximity, this should not be a surprise considering the diminutive size. Fortunately, it’s small foot print affords versatility in placement and the design blends in to an extent. I found sound quality is best when the back of the speaker is close to a wall, allowing the audio to reflect off the surface. The 5.5” touch display is sharp and clear, though sometimes the interface can be a little laggy. the display is a also a fingerprint magnet, so probably best to interact with this device primarily through voice. The display is quite useful, from showing visual results when asking Alexa a question to displaying on-screen lyrics when playing music, it offers a nice visual interface to accompany the voice assistant. My family has been enjoying the “Price is Right” mini game, which would not be possible on an Echo without a display. The device can also be used to keep in touch with family members if you choose, allowing you to video call each other from compatible devices. For the size and price, the Echo Show 5 is a nice entry level device so long as you know it’s purpose. It will not fill your home with rich audio nor will it be the best device to watch videos on due to the size, but it offers a small, discrete smart home device that is capable of a large variety of tasks. I think it is a great device for kids, gift to a family member, or add to your home where you do not need a larger, more capable speaker or display.

The Echo Show 5 is a compact and useful smart display for everyday tasks. The screen is clear enough for checking the time, weather, reminders, and video calls, though it’s not very sharp or fast. Alexa works reliably, and the device integrates well with other Amazon services and smart home products. Sound quality is okay for casual listening but not powerful. It can feel a bit slow at times, and the on-screen suggestions may not appeal to everyone. Overall, it’s a decent option if you want a small, simple smart display without high expectations.

The Echo Show 5 works great as a smart display. The sound quality is noticeably better than older versions, and Alexa responds somewhat quickly. I mainly use it for alarms, weather, and music, and it does all of that smoothly. Compact size and very useful.

Nice size, love that I can flip the camera to cover it. It's also cute that I can upload my own photos for it to show. Although I'm not a fan of ads that pop up but what do you do they're everywhere! Has come in much more handy than I thought that it would!

I bought the Apples Echo Show 5 brought it home, set it up and was impressed with the sound that came out of it. It worked fine and all but at the end of the day it was a bit small and later found that it was better suited for kids. I have a larger one that i purchased several years ago, it's in my kitchen as i like to get recipes on it. It works great! There were no issues with the ES5, the sound was great and all but not my size.

Love the size and sound but lags a little but at a great price can’t beat it

Really like the addition of alexa to the house. Setup is super easy. My only issue is the cord come right out of the back and it is just an awkward placement.

Perfect size echo show. It’s a great size with wonderful sound

This Echo is just “ok”. It has a slower response time and I have had to reboot it a few times as it gets stuck on a screen or response. It still learns well and is ease to use and set up and is still an upgrade from older models and the price is reasonable
