    The Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is a compact and stylish smart display. I like that I can just place it anywhere without disturbing the whole vibe of the room and speakers are a great improvement from my gen1. However, its small screen and occasional touchscreen lag may limit its appeal for more demanding users.

    Bought this with a $50 Best Buy rewards. Had no knowledge of what it was but thought it looked interesting so I thought Id give it a try. So excited about what it does! Love that I can hear my favorite songs just by asking! I now wake up asking what the weather will be like, and so handy to ask random questions! At this point, Im not sure how I lived without it.

    Love this show! I bought it for the kitchen, it was on sale and I wanted more speakers for music in the house. My house is large, so dropping the cash on Sonos seemed steep. I've found the latest generation Alexa devices have come a long way in sound. I'm starting to hook up speakers to the aux on some of the older dots now. I had to immediately get into the equalizer settings to turn down the bass. Sound quality is 6/10 but when it's paired with multiple other devices now, the house fills with music. I just found out it supports video calls, too. Nice bonus.

    Not the greatest terrible speed and doesn’t do what I was expecting. I should have only got a small Alexa if anything but not worth it

    I WISH I COULD RETURN IT, BUT CAN'T!

    I give the Echo Show 5 2 1/2 stars. I have tried to adapt to it, wanted to like it, but was going to return it until I learned Best Buy only allows a FIFTEEN DAY return window! This will be my last electronics purchase from Best Buy. I should have purchased this from Amazon directly, as their return policy is generous. Fifteen days is just not enough time to decide if you want to keep something, especially when you are leaning towards returning it but wanting to give it a chance. So, what makes me want to return it, or I guess now smash it with a hammer? First, it has to be told twice many time. It will acknowledge your selection, but the station won't play until you command a second time. I have rather ancient Dots, so I thought this would be an upgrade, and it is in terms of sound quality. But even there, because it is more powerful, the loudness variation from say level 2 to level 3 is much greater than with the Dot. This matters to me because I use level 2 or 3 when listening to Pandora at night, but with this unit, 2 is sometimes too low, but 3 is too loud. Another example: I'll command it to Pandora and at some point it will switch, without any command or prompting, to something else. Did I mention I wish I could return it?

    Good sound for compact size. I mean you wont blow out the walls but it sounds nice. I replaced the previous 5” show with this. I’m pleased.

    Affordable Hybrid Show & Smarthome hub

    Primary reason for purchase was to have ringer for doorbell / connection even if i’m not home, smarthome hub for smartlights. Added bonus is music speaker for Amazon music. Testing both Ring & Blink doorbells, & both announce on it within seconds. No need for a ringer- this does that plus! My smartlights show on hub. Took off a star because it’s not easy to control things from device screen. Find it necessary to setup on Alexa app on phone. Then it all works! Also, though Music sounds great! the Show isn’t linking to ‘my music” on my Amazon - if i tell it it to play an album from my music, It chooses something from Amazon music instead. Then goes to next thing on Amazon, not next on my device”s Amazon music. Workaround is to cast from phone to echo show- that works. Until I stop it. When i want to restart & say “play” it will play last thing that Show itself played (News, Weather), not what was playing. Even though phone shows am connected via bluetooth to Show. My very old echo dot linked to my music - this may be a more recent software update. Other than these annoyances, it does what i need, plus so much more! Alexa Show device - echo calls, announcements, video camera (which can be covered), music speaker, plus smarthome hub. A bit rough around the edges, - & not the same as show 15, but substantially les expensive- A very nice little hybrid device that does all i need and more than I expected at an affordable price!
