      Hello Ehchet. Thank you for your feedback regarding your Echo Show 5. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with glitching and settings not being retained. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve these issues: First, try a power cycle by unplugging your device for 30 seconds before plugging it back in. If the problem persists, check that your Echo Show 5 has the latest software update installed. You can also try performing a factory reset: press and hold the mute and volume down buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds until you see the Amazon logo. After the reset, reconfigure your preferred settings through the Alexa app. These steps should help stabilize your device's performance and maintain your chosen settings. I hope this helps improve your Echo Show 5's functionality! AmazonDevices

    This Echo Show 5 replaces an earlier generation model that started glitching. We are hoping this one lasts a little longer. Would give 5 stars but the support service that Amazon provides for these products is dismal.

    I would much rather pay more money and have full control over my devices without the ads and added crap. It sounds good, but doesn’t work with AirPlay or Chromecast. I understand what the major players are doing, but the big three ecosystems choosing not to support features that the other ones have is frustrating. Amazon products are basically adware, you pay a lower price in exchange for a worse experimece, data collection and constant ads.

    Disappointed that this came with a white cord. Why Amazon would do this is crazy. I haven't set it up yet but I figure it sets up just like the other Echo(s) I have and have set up, which was fairly easy.

      Hi Elizabeth,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Echo Show 5 (2025 model). I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing slowness and connectivity issues – that's definitely not the experience we want you to have with your new device.

      Connectivity and performance problems can sometimes be resolved with a few troubleshooting steps:

      Check your Wi-Fi connection: Ensure your Echo Show 5 is within good range of your router and try restarting your router
      Restart your device: Unplug the Echo Show 5 for 30 seconds, then plug it back in
      Check for software updates: Go to Settings > Device Options > Check for Software Updates
      Factory reset if needed: Settings > Device Options > Reset to Factory Defaults (this will erase your settings, so use as a last resort)

      If you've already tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, I'd recommend reaching out to Amazon's customer support team 24/7 at 1 888-280-4331 They can help troubleshoot further or discuss replacement options if there's a hardware issue.

      If you're within Best Buy's return window and would prefer to return it, they should be able to help you process that as well.

      We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify and address issues that affect the customer experience. AmazonDevices
