Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Echo Show 5 (2025 model). I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing slowness and connectivity issues – that's definitely not the experience we want you to have with your new device.

Connectivity and performance problems can sometimes be resolved with a few troubleshooting steps:

Check your Wi-Fi connection: Ensure your Echo Show 5 is within good range of your router and try restarting your router
Restart your device: Unplug the Echo Show 5 for 30 seconds, then plug it back in
Check for software updates: Go to Settings > Device Options > Check for Software Updates
Factory reset if needed: Settings > Device Options > Reset to Factory Defaults (this will erase your settings, so use as a last resort)

If you've already tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, I'd recommend reaching out to Amazon's customer support team 24/7 at 1 888-280-4331 They can help troubleshoot further or discuss replacement options if there's a hardware issue.

If you're within Best Buy's return window and would prefer to return it, they should be able to help you process that as well.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify and address issues that affect the customer experience.

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.

Hello Ehchet. Thank you for your feedback regarding your Echo Show 5. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with glitching and settings not being retained. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve these issues: First, try a power cycle by unplugging your device for 30 seconds before plugging it back in. If the problem persists, check that your Echo Show 5 has the latest software update installed. You can also try performing a factory reset: press and hold the mute and volume down buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds until you see the Amazon logo. After the reset, reconfigure your preferred settings through the Alexa app. These steps should help stabilize your device's performance and maintain your chosen settings. I hope this helps improve your Echo Show 5's functionality!
