I would recommend this to a friendEcho Show 5 FORCE UNREMOVABLE ADS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All Amazon Echo Show devices now force unremovable ads on the screen. Even if you go through every menu and disable all the suggestion settings, the ads still appear. It’s especially frustrating because there’s no option to keep the display fixed on something simple, like a clock face or personal photo slideshow; it constantly cycles through content you didn’t ask for. Secondly, it tends to be sluggish and unresponsive. For a device that sits in your home and is supposed to feel personal, this feels intrusive and unnecessary. Because of these limitations, I ended up switching to the Google Nest Hub instead, and I love it. It works much better as a dedicated clock or photo frame without the distraction of constant ads and forced content. If you’re mainly looking for a smart display that can double as a clean clock or photo frame, the Echo Show is no longer a good option.

Posted .Hello Auntie,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Echo Show 5. I'm sorry to hear that the device didn't meet your expectations regarding size and that you were disappointed to find the stand is sold separately.
The Echo Show 5 features a compact 5.5" display, which is designed for smaller spaces like nightstands, desks, or kitchen counters. I understand this may be smaller than what you were looking for. If you're seeking a larger display, you might want to consider the Echo Show 8 with its 8" screen which offers more viewing area while still providing all the great Alexa features.
Regarding the stand, the Echo Show 5 does come with a built-in stand that allows it to sit on flat surfaces, but if you're looking for an adjustable stand for better positioning and viewing angles, those are indeed sold separately as accessories.
Since you're planning to return it for a better option, I hope you find an Echo Show model that better fits your needs.
We appreciate your feedback as it helps us understand customer expectations better.
