Customer Ratings & Reviews

First Echo product I have ever purchased and the ease of setting it up, and the sound....did i mention the sound is amazing. The screen is a perfect size for video calls etc. The cons.....the sound to hear the calls is really LOW. I have tried everything. The music plays so loud, but calls.....nope. So therefore, 4 stars :)

So this was a last minute thing for Xmas. Didn’t know they made these with a screen. Picked it up on sale for $60. We had more fun with this echo that day, And it seams like there is no end to the info you can ask for. Amazing if you ask me. The music part is one of my favorite parts of it. I could go on and on about how much we like her. Went out 3 days later and picked up the Echo Show 8... it is well worth the difference in price, The speaker’s on the 8 are very good. Only thing I think kinda sucks Is it should come with the stand. It need the stand if you ask me. It will work with out it but it adds a lot. I think it helps the sound. But it’s $25. You will enjoy it I promise! Hope this helps you.

I love this device. I can play music, take pictures, watch videos, and it scroll pictures from my Google gallery. My only issue is that it has to be plugged in. It can't be moved from room to room unless you unplug it and when you plug it back in you have to reset the wifi and log into your account.

I have a dot and spot already. Decided to get this the day it came out and not disappointed. Aside from the price, which is great at just 90 dollars, you get a screen which is a good size, you get access to view things like Youtube, Amazon Prime movies, and firefox browser to surf the web. Its small enough to not be a big space taker like the regular show but still big enough to let you see and read what you need to. Super easy to set up and use if you already have amazon alexa products at home. If you were considering getting into an echo with a screen but were waiting, then now is the time to get one. I haven't had any issues with it so far aside from it not hearing once or twice but that happens with all my devices. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I purchased this on Black Friday as an upgrade to my Echo Spot. The spot was my bedside alarm clock I would play some music through while sleeping at night, but the display was too small, and the audio didn't spread right. The spot was designed to spread sound. This thing has been amazing for me the past 2 months. Easy to set alarms from the Amazon Echo App, and decent sound when sleeping at night and laying in bed. I purchased the stand as it lays a little awkward at times, but I am very pleased. Sound isn't meant to be loud, but for what I am looking for, and how I am looking to use it, it works. The biggest downside I have it only that on my Echo Spot, I can get an Alec Baldwin alarm, but for some reason there are different sounds associated with this or the Echo App, and I miss the only alarms. Not sure how to get them back, but the device itself does the job. The only other one is the device seems to brainlock when Wi-Fi disconnects, so if I lose power in the middle of the night, I cannot truly rely on the alarm. These two things are why I drop a star, although its because of my need and everyone is different.

I love this mini echo. I have the large one in my kitchen, the older version large one in my room next to my bed and this one on my desk. I love the screen and that I can drop in anywhere in the house. My kids have the dots in their rooms and they can drop in on me or vice versa. These things are awesome. You can mute the mic so it cannot hear the room if you want. I use it to add reminders, do my to do list or groceries, play music, get news, weather. They're just really great devices. I've never had an issue and will continue using or replace if anything happens to the current one.

We have had the full size Echo Show in the kitchen on the main floor for some time, and recently added the Echo Show five inch display in the family room of our walkout basement. It ties into our Ring account so we can see and talk to visitors at the front door. We use it as an intercom between floors. The sound quality is excellent for the size. One note: Amazon Prime allows streaming Amazon products to only one device at a time. Streaming Amazon to two or more devices is possible with an upgrade to the account. It is possible to stream Amazon to one Show and other web-based content to another device with base Prime, only.

While, I enjoy this in the kitchen for helping me learn how to cook, I wish I had bought the 8 inch one. However, the 5 inch one is all Best Buy had in the store. Bought on Alexas birthday month for a decent discount. She does get confused sometimes. Other than that, not a bad little device.

The size is perfect. Set one up in the kitchen, and another in bedroom. Works with Arlo, Hue, and many other smart devices. My wife uses the one in the kitchen while cooking all the time.

Great device. Perfect size screen. I use it as alarm clock, weather reports and to listen to music especially at bedtime. Can catch up with news. Plan to use it to look at movies.

This is definitely better than the non-display Amazon devices. Sound quality is very good and the size allows for ease of placement in small rooms. I like the ease of setup and use, as well as the many functions. Screen is small for video calling though.

I was previously using the Echo Spot so that I could see who was at the front door via our Ring door bell even if I didn’t have my iPhone in the same room. The Screen on the spot is pretty small by design so moving to the show obviously improves the size of the viewable image. Other benefits are the speaker and the ability to manually toggle off the built in camera which is a significant improvement over the previous Echo Spot we have used. Picking this up on Black Friday made the decision easier Because it was 50% off of the normal price and Best Buy had it just as cheap as Amazon so I no brainer with getting points as well from Best Buy.

Was excited to see these come out! This was purchased to replace a Echo Spot. Don't get me wrong the Spot are nice, but when it comes to watching a movie or checking a Video Camera unit such as Ring, Nest or Arlo, it is such a tiny screen on the Spot.. The New Show 5.5" is perfect because you can actually get a better image with it. Also the night mode feature is way better than on the past models of the Echo Devices. Sound wise this is louder than the Dot and Spot and has a little more Punch to it. I personally feel if you are looking for a video until for each room but don't need the larger Show or Show 2nd Generation, this is the choice i would recommend.

The Echo Show 5 has great sound a d video. Now we are looking at the Echo Show 8 and the 10.1". The Echo was also easy to connect our Ring system and our switches.

Great for a smart alarm clock. Plays my music, shows my cameras, completes my tasks. Use with smart plug to turn off lights as I fall asleep. Love this item!

After a while at home he doesn't respond, he is left with the Amazon logo on the front. He has been treated very well from one moment to the next and does not respond further.

At first we were skeptical about purchasing an Alexa. We changed our minds after staying at an Air BNB that had Alexa. We loved how we could play any song by simply asking. Having this at home makes tasks a little more fun and convenient. For example, when I need to set an alarm I just ask Alexa to do it! We were debating between the speaker and the show. The show is cool because you can ask Alexa for the News or a certain story and the video attached to that subject will also show up. We are thinking about purchasing some more of these products to have in the rooms of the house.

I use this in my room as an alarm, for the weather, to see my Ring camera, play music and operate our Ecobee and turn lights on and off. Really enjoying it so far.

Bought this when it was $25.00 off original price and the screen is just like having a little TV. Compact and great sound. I like that you can close the camera feature.

I bought the original Echo show (little round one) when they came out to replace my alarm clock. While we loved it, it was too small to see the time in the middle of the night and the sound quality was “walkie talkie-ish” for listening to music while we get ready for work. The Echo show 5 is so much better in every way, hands down. Easy to see from across the room and the sound is so much better than the round one. If I had one recommendation though it would be to buy the little stand if you will have it above eye level when you’re sleeping. The stand will let you tilt it down so you can see it better in bed.
