I would recommend this to a friendEcho Show 5 FORCE UNREMOVABLE ADS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All Amazon Echo Show devices now force unremovable ads on the screen. Even if you go through every menu and disable all the suggestion settings, the ads still appear. It’s especially frustrating because there’s no option to keep the display fixed on something simple, like a clock face or personal photo slideshow; it constantly cycles through content you didn’t ask for. Secondly, it tends to be sluggish and unresponsive. For a device that sits in your home and is supposed to feel personal, this feels intrusive and unnecessary. Because of these limitations, I ended up switching to the Google Nest Hub instead, and I love it. It works much better as a dedicated clock or photo frame without the distraction of constant ads and forced content. If you’re mainly looking for a smart display that can double as a clean clock or photo frame, the Echo Show is no longer a good option.

Posted .Dear Calvy,
Thank you for providing such a detailed and thoughtful review of the Echo Show 5. We genuinely appreciate your candid feedback about both the advertising content and performance issues.
You've raised several valid concerns:
Regarding the forced content and ads:
We understand your frustration with the inability to maintain a simple, fixed display
Your point about the device feeling less personal due to constant content cycling is well-taken
We acknowledge this impacts the core functionality you were seeking
About the performance:
The sluggish response times you've experienced are not up to our standards
This compounds the frustration with the content issues
We are taking your feedback seriously and will share it with our product development team, particularly regarding:
The need for true content control options
The importance of maintaining simple display functions
Performance optimization requirements
While we respect your decision to switch to an alternative product, we appreciate you helping future customers make informed decisions.

I would recommend this to a friendGet the larger screen
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not very user friendly, just ok. Screen is way too small. I wouldn’t recommend, get the larger screen
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat Pet-cam!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little smaller screen than the one I own. I am gifting it to my girlfriend's daughter because they have a cat. It's easier to keep track of your lovable feline on the echo than searching for your phone.
I would recommend this to a friendA very midrange attempt at a product… do better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returning. Why?: it’s too slow for my liking. It’s a new 3rd gen product so there should be little to no lag. There’s advertising pop ups that are annoying. I bought it for ring cam integration but it works on and off. It’s definitely not worth it unless you just want an Alexa speaker with ability to show pictures or weather and time.

Posted .Good Morning liksan,
Thank you for your detailed feedback about the Echo Show 5 (3rd Generation). We appreciate your honest assessment and are sorry to hear the device didn't meet your expectations.
Your specific concerns about:
Device lag
Advertising pop-ups
Inconsistent Ring camera integration are valuable points that we take seriously.
While the Echo Show 5 works well for basic functions like displaying photos, weather, and time, we understand these features alone may not justify the purchase for users seeking more advanced functionality and seamless smart home integration.
If you haven't already returned the device, you might try updating the software and checking your network connection. However, we respect your decision to return it if it's not meeting your needs.
We'll share your feedback with our product team as we continue to improve our devices.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gifted this to my elderly parents and I could not have made a better choice. They love it and I am at ease knowing I can easily check in on them.
I would recommend this to a friendIt is ok I guess
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The volume goes up and down when listening to music. Only 3 apps allowed. Definitely not what I thought it would be like. I would just pay more for the flat screen one that is more like a hub.

I would recommend this to a friendToo many ads
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would much rather pay more money and have full control over my devices without the ads and added crap. It sounds good, but doesn’t work with AirPlay or Chromecast. I understand what the major players are doing, but the big three ecosystems choosing not to support features that the other ones have is frustrating. Amazon products are basically adware, you pay a lower price in exchange for a worse experimece, data collection and constant ads.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNice sleek design
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Echo Show 5 replaces an earlier generation model that started glitching. We are hoping this one lasts a little longer. Would give 5 stars but the support service that Amazon provides for these products is dismal.
