      Hi viennafan,

      Thank you for choosing the Echo Show 5 (newest model) and for sharing your honest feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality.

      We understand your concerns about the device not having the latest tech data, occasional power-on issues, and duplicate question responses. These issues can definitely be frustrating when you're trying to use your device reliably. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that might help:

      For power-on issues: Try unplugging the device for 30 seconds and plugging it back in to perform a soft reset
      For duplicate responses or outdated information: Ensure your device is running the latest software by going to Settings > Device Options > Check for Software Updates
      For podcast limitations: You can link additional podcast services through the Alexa app under Settings > Music & Podcasts to expand your options

      Regarding the tech data and features, the Echo Show 5 receives regular software updates that improve functionality and add new features over time. If you feel the device isn't meeting your needs, we'd be happy to help you explore whether a different Echo model might be a better fit for your requirements.

    Serves as a great media device but the screen is no larger than your phone screen. It also is not loaded with Netflix like it's larger sister device (which is the entire reason I bought this in the first place). The user interface is clunky but the sound quality is very good for a device of this size. I would not purchase again but for the money it's not a bad deal.

    When our old Alexa Gen 1 product broke after several years, we were hard pressed to get a replacement. This product is great for playing music, setting timers, adding things to the grocery list, and looking up recipes. I wish it were cheaper and that you were able to change the angle of the screen, but otherwise is a great product.

    Decent speaker, but that's it

    I bought this product because I wanted to be able to get chime notifications from my Eufy floodlight cam on this Alexa device. Well, after hours of trying to set this up and troubleshooting, I never got it to work consistently. It would work 1 minute and then stop working the next, and now I'm at the point where it doesn't work at all. I now have this somewhat pricey device that I use as a speaker to listen to music on but nothing else. Also, this device shows you ads and you can't turn it off. Really? I'm spending money on a device that I can't disable ads on? Lastly, the device itself is very flaky. At one point, I looked at it and it actually had the wrong time on it. Seriously, a smart device that doesn't know what time it is? I had to restart the device to get it to display the correct time. So yeah, I'm a little disappointed with this product. The sound quality on the speaker is decent so that's the only reason why I didn't rate this 1 star.

      Hi JerseyJoe,

      Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about the Echo Show 5. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience, and we're sorry to hear that the device hasn't met your expectations—especially given the frustration with the Eufy integration and the other issues you've encountered.

      We completely understand your disappointment. The inconsistent connectivity with your Eufy floodlight cam notifications is particularly frustrating when that was your primary reason for purchasing the device. The fact that it worked intermittently and then stopped working altogether suggests there may be a compatibility or firmware issue worth investigating. Additionally, the display glitches you mentioned—like showing the wrong time—are concerning for a smart device that should be reliable.

      Regarding the ads: you're right to call that out. While ads are part of the Echo Show experience, we hear your frustration about not having the option to disable them.

      Here are a few things that might help:

      Check Eufy app compatibility: Ensure both the Eufy app and Alexa app are fully updated, and try re-linking the Eufy device through the Alexa app
      Restart the Echo Show: Unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in to clear any temporary glitches
      Check WiFi stability: Confirm your WiFi connection is stable by checking other devices on the same network
      Factory reset as a last resort: If issues persist, try a factory reset through Settings > Device Options > Reset to Factory Defaults

      However, given the persistent nature of these problems and the core functionality issues you're experiencing, we'd recommend contacting our support team at 1-888-280-4331 or through the Alexa app to discuss your options. They can help determine whether this is a device-specific issue or a broader compatibility problem.

      We truly appreciate your feedback—it helps us understand where we can improve. Thank you for giving the Echo Show 5 a chance, and we're sorry it didn't work out as you'd hoped. AmazonDevices

    The Echo Show 5 is a really nice product. I use it to replace an Echo Dot in the living room. My Dot had problems hearing my voice but was fine with other voices. The Echo 5 Show hears my voice well. It does all the things my Dot does but the adjustable clock is great. The sound is pretty good. I am happy with the Echo Show 5 and decided to buy an Echo Show 8 too.

      Hello VinodhkumarB! Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Show 5. I'm sorry to hear the device didn't meet your expectations for video playback capabilities. While I'm glad the audio clarity exceeded your expectations, I understand your disappointment that it won't play video songs like older generation models can. The Echo Show 5's compact 5.5-inch display is designed primarily for smart home control, video calls, and basic media viewing. Thank you for sharing your experience! AmazonDevices
