    It’s an awesome machine. I bought it as a Christmas present and if you can get it on a killer sale it’s all the more worthwhile.

    The perfect addition to my nightstand. It's a good way to get Alexa into whatever room you want, with some extras that sweeten the deal.

    A very midrange attempt at a product… do better

    Returning. Why?: it’s too slow for my liking. It’s a new 3rd gen product so there should be little to no lag. There’s advertising pop ups that are annoying. I bought it for ring cam integration but it works on and off. It’s definitely not worth it unless you just want an Alexa speaker with ability to show pictures or weather and time.

      Good Morning liksan,

      Thank you for your detailed feedback about the Echo Show 5 (3rd Generation). We appreciate your honest assessment and are sorry to hear the device didn't meet your expectations.

      Your specific concerns about:

      Device lag
      Advertising pop-ups
      Inconsistent Ring camera integration are valuable points that we take seriously.

      While the Echo Show 5 works well for basic functions like displaying photos, weather, and time, we understand these features alone may not justify the purchase for users seeking more advanced functionality and seamless smart home integration.

      If you haven't already returned the device, you might try updating the software and checking your network connection. However, we respect your decision to return it if it's not meeting your needs.

      We'll share your feedback with our product team as we continue to improve our devices. AmazonDevices

    I always have enjoyed the alexa. Makes life a little simpler. Eventually, i plan to make my home completely alexa controlled. However, i wish it could hear/understand me better.

    It makes a great alarm clock, I wouldn't use it for anything else. The screen is too small for my liking to view my Ring cams, but the clock face customization is pretty cool.

    We bought this before upgrading to a larger size, For a small space it would be great but the screen isn't any bigger than my phone which is why we upgraded.
