    Not what I expected from Echo product

    Very slow and very buggy. I had to factory reset it a few times to make it work, but it is still slow, sluggish, and buggy. Basically, an expensive clock with some photos running in the background.

      Hello BestbuyShopper,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Echo Show 5. I'm truly sorry to hear that you're experiencing such significant performance issues—slow response times, sluggishness, and bugs—even after performing multiple factory resets. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have with an Echo product.

      The issues you're describing—persistent lag and glitches despite factory resets—suggest there may be a deeper hardware or software problem with your specific unit. While the Echo Show 5 is designed to be much more than a clock with photos, I completely understand your frustration when the device isn't performing its smart features reliably.

      Here are a few additional steps that might help if you haven't tried them already:

      Check for system updates in Settings > Device Options > System Updates
      Verify your Wi-Fi connection strength and consider moving the device closer to your router
      Ensure your router firmware is up to date as network issues can cause significant lag

      However, given that you've already performed multiple factory resets without resolution, I strongly recommend contacting Amazon Customer Service at 1-888-280-4331 or through your Amazon account. They can run diagnostics on your device and likely arrange a replacement, as this level of persistent performance issues on a new device isn't normal and suggests a defective unit.

      Your feedback is valuable in helping us identify when products aren't meeting the quality standards our customers expect, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. AmazonDevices

    Product arrived promptly and was very easy to setup. I like the color and aesthetic design of it. It doesn’t take up to much space and really like you can customize the brightness of the display.

    I bought the Echo Show 5 for my husband & he loves it. It's the 2nd one we own and I wish we would have bought them sooner. They've been so helpful and makes many tasks so much easier.

    I decided to purchase this specifically for the clock feature. The features overall on this device are nice and having Alexa makes it better for controlling other devices that’s connected to the wifi

    This was such a good gift that I bought for my grandkids because they could FaceTime each other and my daughter loves it because she sets their chore times on it. It does a lot more though.

    I have two of these. I use them with a blink camera as a baby monitor. They are good. Price is a little high and the screen is small. But if thats what you want then definitely buy these. They can also be combined with the blink doorbell.
