    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

    This Echo show is fine. The screen is sort of too small to be very functional. I bought it as part of a set with a blink doorbell and camera. The doorbell does ring on the Echo Show, which is helpful. I still haven’t figured out how to see the video of the Blink products on the Show, but I also haven’t tried very hard. I got the display to show artwork and weather with minimal ads, but the device feels more like an Amazon advertisement than it does a functional AI assistant. If I have Prime and already purchased the device, I really don’t want anymore advertising. I know it seems like not a big deal, but the overall aesthetic of the screen and features is an eyesore. Maybe there will be an update, but without one I probably won’t keep it very long.

      Hi LightsaberMario, thank you for providing feedback for the Amazon Echo Show 5. Here are the steps to connect your Blink cameras to Alexa:
      1. Open the Blink app and tap Settings.
      2. Tap Account and Privacy.
      3. Tap Alexa.
      4. Tap the Open Alexa App button.
      5. Tap ENABLE TO USE on the Blink SmartHome screen.
      6. On the Link Account screen, enter the email address and password associated with your Blink account. Then tap Continue.
      7. Enter the verification code sent to the mobile phone number associated with your Blink account.
      Then, tap Verify Code. If you do not receive a verification code within 2 minutes, tap Resend Code.

      After you successfully verify your account, you can Close the screen to navigate back to the Alexa app to enable the skill. From there, you'll be able to ask Alexa to show you your Blink camera. In regards to advertisements, there are advertising settings that can be accessed directly from the Alexa app, Echo Show devices, or online at Alexa Privacy Settings. These settings make it easy for you to manage advertising in your Alexa experience by choosing if you want to see or hear interest-based ads on your Alexa—from both third-party Alexa skills and content providers and, from Amazon. There are experiences with Alexa, such as streaming music or the display on an Echo Show screen, that include ads. If you use these controls to choose not to receive interest-based ads, you will still see or hear ads on Alexa-enabled devices, but they may be less relevant to you. I know this was a lot of information; if you still need assistance, please feel free to reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Happy Holidays! AmazonDevices

    It seems to run well. It does sometimes have interesting responses. But it is fun to play with. In some ways I wish I had gotten the larger screen, but it does what it is supposed to.
