Customer Ratings & Reviews

Oh-so much nicer than looking at a hockey puck. We're able to see pictures and reminisce along with asking Alexa questions. Very pleased

Ease of set up. Connects to other wireless devices such as Ring. The speaker on this device is actually very good and impressive. You’ll have to hear it to believe it. Good buy for me.

Love it, it keeps us updated with upcoming appointments and events. My wife and I leave at different times we can leave notes for each other, and little reminders for each other.

Small but very powerful, the sound and quality is very upscale.

This product has a lot to offer. View your cameras at any time with a split screen option. The sound quality is amazing for its size. Looks great sitting on the work bench or the office desk.

I recommend the Echo Show 5. It is small enough to be unobtrusive on my office desk, but large enough to see clearly. Sound is good, and the screen is quite clear. Great value for the price.

Like that it pairs with other Alexas so when playing music or needing to know anything I can ask it anywhere in the house

Love the video quality when my Ring activates. Very easy to program.

Is awesome Item now everything in my house is linked to Alexa

Primary reason for purchase was to have ringer for doorbell / connection even if i’m not home, smarthome hub for smartlights. Added bonus is music speaker for Amazon music. Testing both Ring & Blink doorbells, & both announce on it within seconds. No need for a ringer- this does that plus! My smartlights show on hub. Took off a star because it’s not easy to control things from device screen. Find it necessary to setup on Alexa app on phone. Then it all works! Also, though Music sounds great! the Show isn’t linking to ‘my music” on my Amazon - if i tell it it to play an album from my music, It chooses something from Amazon music instead. Then goes to next thing on Amazon, not next on my device”s Amazon music. Workaround is to cast from phone to echo show- that works. Until I stop it. When i want to restart & say “play” it will play last thing that Show itself played (News, Weather), not what was playing. Even though phone shows am connected via bluetooth to Show. My very old echo dot linked to my music - this may be a more recent software update. Other than these annoyances, it does what i need, plus so much more! Alexa Show device - echo calls, announcements, video camera (which can be covered), music speaker, plus smarthome hub. A bit rough around the edges, - & not the same as show 15, but substantially les expensive- A very nice little hybrid device that does all i need and more than I expected at an affordable price!

It is a great product. Has a good loud sound, clear voice, easily manage, parental controls, and lots of other great features. Highly recommended.

I love how small and compact it is while still being able to have a touch screen and all the other capabilities. Setup was easy and my kids love them. It is perfect to help with homework or for them to figure out the weather.

We caught this on sale over the holidays. I didn’t notice the other large screens, the more updated products of the same nature. But this small 5 1/2 inch screen was perfect for my nightstand. The wife moved my normal Alexa into the bathroom and this one sits on the nightstand

Excellent quality Very easy to use and very useful!! I love this item I truly recommend this for anything in the house I bought it to install the app to open and close my curtains

Love this show! I bought it for the kitchen, it was on sale and I wanted more speakers for music in the house. My house is large, so dropping the cash on Sonos seemed steep. I've found the latest generation Alexa devices have come a long way in sound. I'm starting to hook up speakers to the aux on some of the older dots now. I had to immediately get into the equalizer settings to turn down the bass. Sound quality is 6/10 but when it's paired with multiple other devices now, the house fills with music. I just found out it supports video calls, too. Nice bonus.

If you're a tech enthusiast and love your tech life, then this is a great addition to your home. After visiting family, I came back in search for the Echo to include in my home as they have to fill my day/night with music, podcasts, set alarms, etc. Works with my Amazon account. If you don't have an Amazon account, I believe you can still play music from Spotify or YouTube. This is something I would need to try so that I don't have to use an additional Amazon account. I got mine for a good price with my Rewards. Worth it so I'm not using my headphones all the time or my cell to stream.

Have been using this item for a long time and works very good, nice quality sound and helps me a lot with my smart lights and smart tvs.

Works good if you have wi go but sometimes lose signal when WiFi goes out easy to get music but need subscription to get more music that you like

Its hands down one if the best purchases ive made. Easy to use and really efficient. Can’t wait to buy more for the rest if my home.

I give the Echo Show 5 2 1/2 stars. I have tried to adapt to it, wanted to like it, but was going to return it until I learned Best Buy only allows a FIFTEEN DAY return window! This will be my last electronics purchase from Best Buy. I should have purchased this from Amazon directly, as their return policy is generous. Fifteen days is just not enough time to decide if you want to keep something, especially when you are leaning towards returning it but wanting to give it a chance. So, what makes me want to return it, or I guess now smash it with a hammer? First, it has to be told twice many time. It will acknowledge your selection, but the station won't play until you command a second time. I have rather ancient Dots, so I thought this would be an upgrade, and it is in terms of sound quality. But even there, because it is more powerful, the loudness variation from say level 2 to level 3 is much greater than with the Dot. This matters to me because I use level 2 or 3 when listening to Pandora at night, but with this unit, 2 is sometimes too low, but 3 is too loud. Another example: I'll command it to Pandora and at some point it will switch, without any command or prompting, to something else. Did I mention I wish I could return it?
