Customer Ratings & Reviews

Loving this purchase. We use this product almost everyday and have fun using it. We have been using this as a picture slideshow too and it refreshes our old cherisable memories. And it is easy to make hands-free calls as needed.

I do very few things with my Echo Show 5, but it does them all well. It has replaced my bedside alarm clock and it great for quickly seeing my front door camera, playing white noise at night, and setting an alarm. The rest of the functionality is just a bonus. I’d recommend it.

For starters, my main goal was to view our Wyze & Ring Cameras with a smartscreen on my desk. I tried the Google Home Hub first because I also use Google Photos, and that’s a cool feature for the digital photo frame. BUT, the Home Hub can’t stream our cameras and was a pain with the commands. Also, after trying basic requests like ‘How many days has it been since (insert date)’, surprisingly the Echo Show answered every question and the Home Hub consistently said it couldn’t answer that request. We have a mix of Home Mini & Echo Dots. Although Google has a better search feature, Alexa does a much better job with simple speaking command. Also setting up our smart home (which is at least 40+ devices) is MUCH easier with Alexa VS the Google Home app. Lastly, yes, the screen is small, but for a desk or nightstand it’s perfect. The speaker sounds great by itself, but I’ve connected the one on my desk via AUX to my Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 desktop speakers.

Mostly use it to play music, but she is so much fun to talk with too. Can't never use all of her capacity. The device looks stylish. The size is just perfect for a night stand. Very good sound and picture quality . My husband told me that this is my best spend $60.

Where has this been in my life and why was I so slow on the uptake of this cool little device? Picture quality is great, sound is good, and pretty easy set up and use. I also like you can turn the front facing camera off. Great value and fun!

Good sound. I like the size of the screen. Easy to use

We got this Echo 5 simply to program some Echo Dot speakers. It worked fine for this purpose. But we also found that it can be turned into a nice alarm clock-- and is the perfect size for putting it on a table by the bed.

I purchased multiple echo show 5s 1 for the kitchen and the other for the living room. The screens are perfect size and it doesn't take up much room for being in such small places. Also, easy to use and I can drop in on the kids while I'm away at work!

I was looking for a device to replace an alarm clock as well as a monitor for our video doorbell that was small enough to place on my nightstand. The Echo Show 5 has done just that From watching a Youtube video to just having a clock. I like how much real-estate the screen has. I have the digital clock with the date and weather all on one page. Overall I think it's an upgrade rather than using my phone, which has a much smaller screen. If you want a new clock for your nightstand or something to play music or just to watch multiple sources of video, this may work for you. I guess each person has there own opinion on this product. It's not as bad as some of the reviewers on here are saying. I see my pictures clearly as they rotate on my Show 5. All I did was turn up the brightness. Amazon updates their software all the time. What might not be working now, could be fixed later.

I needed one to display family photos in our bedroom that didn’t take up much space. This is absolutely the perfect size! I love it. We have it set for whisper so you can barely hear Alexa when she answers us, so as not to wake up one another. Good stuff!

I use my echo show as my central hub in my house. Easy to connect. I use it to view my ring cameras. It connects with my echo dot. It works as an alarm. And I can put music which sounds great btw. Absolutely love this product. All for a good price.

Works just like my Echo Dot, except now I have video! Able to easily view my front door with my new Ring Doorbell. I can view recipes, music lyrics, weather, and photos with ease. My daughter has an Echo Show 5 as well, so now we can video chat! Great device!

Amazon - Echo Show 5 Smart Display with Alexa. Bought for myself and as a gift. Easy to install and setup. Use in my kitchen. Use for receipts, information, music, to-do lists, call to my grandson. As time goes on I'm sure I'll find more uses.

Amazing little screen! They do have bigger ones but this one you can bring all over the house or leave it on your bed side table! Clear picture you can talk to the camera from it listen to music see the tone or weather. I absolutely love it!

This product is great. It gives you the ability to show recipes on the screen for cooking, reads words to songs that are being played and you can connect to other devices in the house and look at your nest camera if you set that up.

Nice night companion. All the goodies of having Alexa nearby and a clock with self adjusting brightness that doesn’t bother anyone. You can play music from Amazon and sing along seeing the lirics. Great product at reasonable price on sale at Bestbuy

This is our seventh echo. It is a great way to talk to our family face to face. My grandkids are constantly asking Alexa questions and playing music. It’s easy to use and we find new uses every day. Use it for everything from recipes to checking the weather.

This is one of the best devices Alexa has ever made. A simple, small, screen-based experience to manage shopping lists, watch Twitch TV, see all my security cameras, and more! Why - this may be their best invention yet!!

The Echo Show 5 is a great product in a smaller and much more economical package than is bigger brother. The sound quality is really good, but obviously not as good as the larger Echo Show. I put it in our kitchen, but it would work great in the bedroom or on a desk.
