Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think this is a great little Alexa! It displays the time nicely when not in use and little kids love it because you can say "Alexa, what sound does a lion make?" She will show a picture of a lion with the sound it makes. There are o many features, so far I'm loving it!

I recently added the Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) to my smart home setup, and I have mixed feelings about its performance. Setting it up was straightforward and hassle-free, similar to my experiences with other Amazon smart devices. However, I noticed a distinct difference in responsiveness when compared to the Echo Dot I own. Positioned at the same distance, the Echo Dot consistently responds faster to voice commands than the Echo Show 5. This difference in reaction time is quite noticeable and affects the overall user experience. That being said, the Echo Show 5 has its unique advantages. The inclusion of a screen is a significant plus. It seamlessly integrates with my home security system, allowing me to view live feeds from my cameras and doorbell directly on the device. This feature is particularly useful and adds a layer of convenience and security to my home. In conclusion, while the Echo Show 5 may not be as responsive as the Echo Dot, its screen functionality offers significant benefits, especially for those with home security systems. It's a great device for anyone who values visual feedback from their smart home devices.

Good video quality but overall kind of sluggish to use

This is a handy little device that has found its place below my monitor, mainly for displaying daily news, cycling through uploaded photos, and managing simple smart home connections. It’s compact and unobtrusive, making it a convenient addition to my desk setup. In terms of performance, the Echo Show 5 generally handles commands quickly, which is great for basic tasks. However, the device struggles when browsing through the settings. The process can be frustratingly slow, and at times, the system bugs out, abruptly returning me to the home screen. This inconsistency detracts from the otherwise solid user experience. Despite this, for its price and range of features, the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) remains a decent choice. Just be prepared for some hiccups when you dive into the settings.

I love this this was the perfect match to buy together cause it literally shows you outside at the door so if u don’t want to open the door this will help to decide if you want to or not lol

Good, but not great. Constant disconnect with wifi is a deal breaker for me. It worked very well for the first 8 months or so and then constant disconnect ever since.

This has been great for my son’s first apartment at college! So many ways it can be used!

My daughter and I got this so I could talk and see my grandson. He can easily call me on his own with it, which is a bonus. Nice picture and sound quality

Echo works well with smart home, nice size for bedroom

Great for intermittent use. Bought this for my elderly dad who isn't especially tech savvy but he's able to use this for asking questions and connecting to FireTv.

First Alexa ever and it worth it! Very good purchase!

I love my echo. It makes things so much easier when needing assistance from Alexa. Especially and reminders that I have pending.

My kids love it. Works great. Perfect for a quick pop in on my family while im at work or to check in on my fur daughter. It has a feature for the dog! Super cool. My family can call me using this and its super helpful.

Absolutely love this . Have them over the house and use them in network for music…..totally awesome

This works well next to my bed - I can access things in several different rooms, so if I've forgotten a light somewhere, I don't have to get up. The speaker is not bad for its size and if I want music as I go to sleep, it's easy to get

A little struggle getting these set up, but they seemed to meet our needs. Haven't tried video calling yet.

A great gift for a nice affordable price. Easy to install/time to install, with a great speaker.

Great picture and sound quality. Nice to have when you need to build your smart home network.

This 3rd Gen has improved sound quality but the big difference is improved voice recognition and speed via a newer processor. I was always repeating requests on the 2nd Gen. Not so with the new one. A worthwhile upgrade for me.

Very useful, easy to use and very helpful, good price and quality.
