Customer Ratings & Reviews

Screen is smaller than the 1st gen, but works well. Like the compact size to blend into the house, but the video doorbell... well a larger screen would be nice.

I -LOVE- the Echo platform. Compared to its closest rival (Google Home), Alexa seems "friendlier" (possibly because of the wake word) and the app is a lot simpler. I ordered three of Echo 5's because they're the PERFECT size for a desk, night stand or something to sit beside the couch. I also have an older Echo Show and the newest Echo Show. I wanted all of my Echoes to have screens so no matter where I am in the house, I can (theoretically) stream a security camera to it if necessary. The biggest problem with the platform is that the ESP is just plain awful. ESP is the feature that has the closest Echo respond to your voice. That's the theory, anyway. Reality works differently. I'll talk to the Echo in my living room and the one in the kitchen responds. I'll talk to the Echo in the kitchen and the one twenty feet down the hall will respond. That's only mildly amusing if I'm just adding something to my grocery list. It's extremely frustrating if I'm trying to turn off an alarm, set a timer or view a security camera. It's not amusing when I'm asking the Echo two feet away to show me the porch camera and the Echo far away in another room streams it instead. The cause of the issue isn't having too many Echoes. I also have multiple Google Homes and they've never had this issue. I don't have an open floor plan and there are a lot of walls separating each Echo. The Echo's ESP detection just isn't very good. If it weren't for the Echo's complete lack of ability to recognize when I'm two feet away and respond accordingly, this would rate a solid five stars. However, since the Echo twenty feet away and in another part of the house routinely responds to my commands, I have to give it two out of five stars.

How can you not like this new design!? Also, the sound quality impressed me as I was not expecting such a loud volume coming out of a small speaker like the echo 5

Great picture. I am able to now call my home and video chat from my cell with the Echo Show. I am looking forward to adding the Ring too it. Sound is clear and quality is spot on.

Alexa has come a long way to making my house smarter Easy set up and works well with add on devices. Prices are coming down and this product is a favorite of my wife and my kids!

Great for putting in my office and living area. Keeps me connected to my kids and plays my Spotify music throughout the house and connects to my Ring camera.

2nd echo 5 I have. Love it. Very simple to use but has the ability of Alexa. I forgot how much I missed having a clock and all its other abilities.. just great

ties into ring doorbell. allows you to see who is at the front door simply by saying "alexa, show me the front door camera". much faster than clicking in the app.

I use this to drop in when he’s at home and I’m at work to talk to him or see what he’s up to, or check on the dogs. We use it for music as well but mostly for the drop in feature.

Works with ring door bell. Plays lyrics for my teens. What's not to love. She's a bit privacy invading but it can't all be perfect. Don't say the a word lol

This is my second Echo show 5 and I really love them both. The quality of the screen is outstanding. It overall size help you place it in smaller spots of the room and looks great

The overall quality of the Echo 5 is great considering the size and speaker quality. It opens up the door for more video/viewing options compared to the Echo speakers.

I just love Alexa, cause it's tell me the temperature & the weeks & Alexa also plays music, whenever I tell it, so, thank you so much for letting me buy it.

The Amazon Echo Show 5 works with the Ring Video Doorbell and allows you to see who is at the door without grabbing your phone. It is also Alexa-capable, which is super convenient.

I originally bought the Show 5 to monitor my Ring doorbell cam from my bedroom easily. The screen works great and the clock display automatic dimming is perfectly unobtrusive at night.

This item is a great size for bedrooms. Has good volume and I love the privacy of the camera lens cover. I was concerned about having the small screen but its actually perfect.

I’m sure it would’ve been great but it was so tiny. We returned it and instead got the bigger one. If you’re looking for something the size of a digital alarm clock this is more for you.

The 5-inch screen is the perfect size for your desk or nightstand. Works as any Echo device does that has a screen. Easily connects to your network and is up and running in no time.

Compact yet perfect for everyday use. I use this one in my room and the 8 inch version in the family room. Great gift idea as well! Bought both of my parents one
