    Operating system doesn't respond smoothly. Aafter all these years you would think that slow response is a thing of past, but this device reminded me my first generation iPhone after used for 3 years.

    Works pretty good but not on everything for instance it does not work well on Ring doorbell and Wyze cams are hit or miss and I don’t like how some times it just starts listening without the wake word very intrusive in my opinion.

    My phone was too old to work with the application needed to work with the unit. ALL of my equipment and operating systems would not work with it, so needs newer phone and Microsoft 11.

    Dont get it - it does not work with wifi. If you dont allow it to save your wifi password it will not work. I regret buying this and actually regret buying any and all Alexa devices

    I purchased the 2nd Gen Show 8 & 5 to complement my growing number of Smart Home devices. After a week of use, I am returning the Show 5 because it's painfully slow

    The 2nd generation Echo devices seem to loose the robustness of their connectivity and I am hearing that Amazon looses too much money on the line and might drop it.

    this item came free with my TV and I would have to say it’s pretty cool. I hardly ever use it, but I can see how it could be very beneficial in the common household.

    Already had an Alexa that I really liked. Bought another one but when I talk to one the other one answers, not sure how to fix that. Gets irritating.

    Not worth the money in my opinion. Was able to get it with the ring promo during Xmas. Thought it was going to offer more than what it does. Definitely wouldn’t buy one without a major promotion.
