    Really like the addition of alexa to the house. Setup is super easy. My only issue is the cord come right out of the back and it is just an awkward placement.

    “I have been using the Amazon Alexa Echo for a while now, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. The voice recognition is incredibly accurate, and it understands even complex commands without a hitch. The sound quality is impressive, delivering crisp and clear audio for music, podcasts, and more. What I love most is its versatility. I can control my smart home devices, set reminders, play games, and even get weather updates with just my voice. It has become an integral part of my daily routine, making life more convenient and enjoyable. The design is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into any room. Plus, the continuous updates and skills available for Alexa constantly improve its capabilities. In summary, the Amazon Alexa Echo is a fantastic addition to any home. It’s a smart, reliable, and highly useful voice assistant that has truly simplified my life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their smart home experience.”

    Cost Savings: The biggest win is definitely the money I save. Parking downtown used to cost a fortune, plus gas and maintenance on my car. My monthly pass is a great value, and the pre-tax commuter benefits program my employer offers helps even more. Productivity & Relaxation: Not having to drive in rush hour traffic is amazing. I use the time on the train to mentally prepare for my day, catch up on emails, or watch a downloaded show on Netflix, which creates a good boundary between home and work life. Staff: Most of the station staff and conductors are really friendly and helpful, which makes the morning hustle a bit more pleasant.

    Perfect for our lifestyle. As a busy household we can have easy access to information without grabbing a computer or phone to look things up. Hands full? No problem. Washing dishes? Not an issue. We listen to podcasts, videos, music and keep working. They are low profile so they dont interfere with decor. Kids can contact me through them when I am at work and their phones were taken for punishment. They can contact friends or family by speaker if they really want contact. Its perfect. People mention loss of privacy as our data is out there in the universe. I guess at this point in parenting, have chosen the easy access to communicate with kids; spying ability, if I'm so inclined; and easy access to news, music and other info. My littlest uses one as a personal TV when his brothers hog the others.

    Nice size, love that I can flip the camera to cover it. It's also cute that I can upload my own photos for it to show. Although I'm not a fan of ads that pop up but what do you do they're everywhere! Has come in much more handy than I thought that it would!

    The Amazon Alexa has been a great addition to my home. I use it for music, the weather, and controlling some of my smart devices. The voice recognition works well most of the time, and the speaker sounds clear. The only small issue is that it sometimes picks up background noise and doesn’t hear me right away. Besides that, it’s very useful and worth it.

    It is a cute little thing to have a mini Echo Show. I got it for a gift for a friend of mine and she loves it, she listen to music on it all the time and can keep an eye on her two critters while she is out and about.

    I love having Alexa in my kitchen/living room area! I use her to learn new recipes to try, set up routines with our smart lighting, and even simple things like telling us the weather each morning. This Echo Show are also the perfect size to fit in our compact kitchen, so don't be afraid to buy if you have a small living space.

    The Amazon Echo Show 5 is a compact smart display that seamlessly blends functionality and style, making it an excellent addition to any home. Whether you’re looking for a bedside companion, a kitchen assistant, or a hub for your smart home devices, the Echo Show 5 delivers impressive performance in a small package. Design and Build Quality The Echo Show 5 features a sleek and modern design with a 5.5-inch display that fits comfortably on nightstands, desks, or kitchen counters. The adjustable screen angle allows for easy viewing, and the soft fabric finish on the back adds a touch of elegance. Available in multiple colors, it can complement various home decor styles. Display and Sound Quality The 5.5-inch display provides vibrant visuals for watching videos, checking the weather, or viewing recipes. While it’s not meant for immersive movie watching, the quality is more than sufficient for casual use. The sound quality is surprisingly robust for its size, with clear vocals and decent bass, making it suitable for listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Smart Features One of the standout features of the Echo Show 5 is its integration with Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant. You can ask Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, set reminders, answer questions, and more—all hands-free. The device also supports video calls, allowing you to connect with friends and family using other Echo devices or the Alexa app. The Echo Show 5 serves as a smart home hub, enabling you to control compatible devices like lights, cameras, and thermostats with simple voice commands or through the touch interface. The screen also displays useful information like calendars, news updates, and to-do lists, helping you stay organized. Software Bugs However, it’s worth noting that the Echo Show 5 has had its share of software bugs since launch. Users have reported instances where the screen would go blank or freeze, which can be frustrating. While Amazon has worked on updates to improve stability, these issues can detract from the overall user experience. Privacy Features Amazon has incorporated several privacy features into the Echo Show 5. A physical camera shutter allows you to cover the camera for added security, and the microphone can be easily muted. This consideration for user privacy is reassuring for those concerned about smart device surveillance. Value for Money At its asking price, the Echo Show 5 feels a bit much given the software issues. It’s advisable to wait for a sale, ideally in the ballpark of $30, to make the purchase worthwhile. For anyone already invested in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to start their smart home journey, the Echo Show 5 can be a good option, but be mindful of the price point. Final Thoughts Overall, the Amazon Echo Show 5 is a fantastic compact smart display that combines practicality with smart features. Its size makes it perfect for small spaces, while its capabilities enhance everyday tasks. However, potential buyers should be aware of the software bugs and consider waiting for a sale before purchasing. If you can find it at a lower price, the Echo Show 5 can prove to be a valuable addition to any home, enhancing your experience with smart technology.

    Great product! I’ve paired it with my other Alexa, and it’s linked to my smart devices like the TV and lights — it works perfectly. I love the sound of the Echo Show 5; it’s a small device but the sound is amazing. The screen quality is also good, even for watching videos. I'm ready to buy another one.

    I’m still trying to get used to this Alexa device. I’ve had it for about two weeks now. It works, but sometimes I have to repeat the commands several times before it actually does what I’m asking. I’m also not a big fan of the display constantly showing Amazon products. I wish there were an option to have photos, landscapes, or something more personal instead of ads for items I’m not interested in.

    Great alternative to a clock radio. I enjoy being able to add images I would like to see rotate on the screen. Sound is a big step up from the standard echo dot. The only thing I wish was different would be to have an option to eliminate ads from appearing on the screen.
