Posted .Hello AllenH! Thank you so much for your time and review of your experience with your Echo Show 5 device! I am terribly sorry to read that your device is having issues hearing and responding to your requests. There are a few troubleshooting steps you can try. First and foremost, try power cycling by either pressing and holding the Mute button until it says Turn Off and pressing the same button to power back on, unplugging it directly from the outlet or back of the device for 30 seconds, or by going into the device settings in the Alexa smartphone app and selecting Restart Device. Any of these will work. Sometimes just a power cycle corrects any glitches or software updates that may be pending. You can also check on that software update in case it is held up and causing bugs like this to occur. You can go to Settings, Device Options, About, and Check for Software Updates. If there is a pending update, it will begin downloading it and install and possibly power cycle the device once or twice during the update. If neither of these improves your experience any, we would love the opportunity to troubleshoot further with you to see if we can resolve and improve your experience some. Contact us directly at Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further assistance. Thanks again for your time and feedback and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Slow sometimes
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s slow and sometimes will just go blank. I really do hate it sometimes but it’s sometimes great too.

Posted .Hi Kwesi,
We are sorry you are not enjoying your Echo Show 5 3rd Gen. To ensure your Echo Show 5 is functioning optimally, you can ask Alexa to check for software updates or check for those via your Alexa App. From there, make sure your router and wifi credentials are correct and in a space that does not block the signal to your device. If you need further assistance, you can call Amazon customer service, available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach us at 1-888-280-4331!
Hope that helps!

No, I would not recommend this to a friendEcho
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Size was good for the area I needed to put it, but it could not keep up when switching options/ apps. I bought to view my ring cameras when needed. I ended up returning the item. Maybe it needs better software. Definitely needs an upgrade of some sort.

Posted .Hello HoneyB26,
I am sorry to hear your Echo Show 5 did not work for you. At times devices need manual software upgrades as automatic ones do not always get pushed to device. If you have issues with devices in the future you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Hope this helps, have a nice day!
Its okay. Disappointed. Phasing out Alexa.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's okay for the money. Changing screens and accessing options are slow. I am not fond of the Alexa App going with Apple. So far so good converting to all apple (homepods, etc.)
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot smart
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My 2nd generation echo dot is more responsive. This one always offers to buy paid subscription and anything else it can charge you in amazon. Don't do it. I'm about to return it.

Posted .Hi MRJE,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about the Echo Show 5. We're sorry to hear that your experience hasn't lived up to expectations, especially when compared to your 2nd generation Echo Dot.
We understand your frustration with the responsiveness issues and the frequent prompts for paid subscriptions and purchases. That's not the seamless, helpful experience we want Alexa to provide—your smart display should feel intuitive and supportive, not pushy.
Since you're considering returning the device, we want to make sure you're aware of a few things that might help, though we completely respect your decision:
Potential improvements to try:
Check for software updates in Settings > Device Options > System Updates to ensure you have the latest performance improvements
Adjust your voice recognition settings in the Alexa app under Devices > Echo & Alexa > [Your Echo Show 5] > Recognition Improvement
You can disable shopping notifications and suggestions in Settings > Notifications > Amazon Shopping
However, if the device simply isn't meeting your needs and your 2nd gen Echo Dot works better for you, returning it is absolutely a valid choice. Best Buy should be able to process your return smoothly given your recent purchase.
We appreciate you giving the Echo Show 5 a try and taking the time to share this feedback—it helps us understand where we need to improve the user experience.

Echo Shows have unremovable adds now
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All Amazon Echo Shows have unremovable adds now. You can turn off all suggestion settings, and it will still show you an adds. There also no way to keep it on clock or pictures, it has to scroll. Went with the Echo Spot as a clock.

Posted .Hello, onsowhat995. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Echo Show 5. I recommend that if you want the Echo Show 5 to stay on the clock, open the settings, scroll to Home & Clock, and select Home Content. Then, select all of the selected-on settings and turn them off.
