    The echo 5 was received as a free bonus item when I purchased a floodlight camera. The initial setup was simple. At first I thought I would use it just to monitor the camera. But this device does so much more that I purchased two more for other areas of the house. It can be used for monitoring the floodlight camera and answering the video doorbell. The sound quality is so good that I use it almost daily for background music in the house. You can have the must play on just one device or on multiple devices. Using TuneIn, you can listen distant stations. My wife uses it for setting timers. I’m finding new things that I can do with it regularly.

    It’s just the right size for my desk at work. It fits perfectly under my monitors. It looks and sounds great. The video is good too. I bought the 2-pack when it was on sale so it was a good deal.

    works great ordered it on the deal of the day but one get one. Easy to use and set up wanted it for video calls mainly with the family. Screen resolution is okay and camera quality is alright. Smaller then I thought closer to the size of a large cell phone. If looking for a bigger screen I’d recommend the echo 8.

    I own a kindle and the kindle I own does have a show mode option so I did get a semi preview of a "show" which made me interested in this item. The echo show 5 is about the same size as my alarm clock but it does so much more. Alexa is always there to help out with recipes, the latest breaking news, she even set reminders for you. Whats also cool is you can message or announce messages to other echo products in other rooms of your home so now you don't have to yell through the house lol Streaming music is even awesome..the show 5 has a nice sounding speaker that's good not only for music but also audiobooks. My only regret is not buying this sooner.

    They work great but I’m not home enough to use them enough! Also I have the echo dot already, so they sometimes would yell at each other if I had them too close. Loved the couple of days I had them tho!

    Visual is always much much better than audio only. Got this Echo show 5 during sale time. I love Echo products but I lovev it more if there's a visual display. You can read watch although its screen size is just like a phone but again enough to be read in close range. The sound is also better, I can live with it you can still adjust on the alexa app if you want to fine tune its EQ. The quality seems ok hope it will last long just like my First Gen Echo show that until now still working. Hope next time they will design an Echo show with built in stand so that we don't have to worry about adjusting its display angle wherever I wanted to have it.

    Ideal Bedroom Clock

    Our household has an Alexa in most every room. The new Amazon Echo Show features a bright, clear display which is useful as a bedside alarm clock, as it dims automatically, based on the light level in the room. When you ask Alexa for the weather, the display shows the forecast for the week. This is just one example of how useful the display is. CONCLUSION; I highly recommend the Echo Show 5" Smart Display. I use the Echo Show 10" for the kitchen & the 5" for a bedside alarm clock & a bathroom clock / Alexa.

    For people who are ok with mono-speakers, the Amazon Echo Show 5 is the Alexa device to get for those wanting a smart home, but also trying to keep the budget down. It can control lights, locks, outlets, and any other smart device that can communicate with it. It also tells time and weather. The screen lets the user access outdoor cameras and smart doorbells, as well as make face-to-face phone calls over the internet. the Amazon Echo Show 5 also has a web browser (two, in fact, Amazon Silk and Fire Fox) so it has access to the full internet and not just mobile apps, which means browsing and streaming. It is basically like giving a smartphone to your house.

    I have the 2nd generation Echo Show and really like it. But this smaller version is great for our bedroom, with many of the same conveniences. It even hooks up with my Ring, so I don't have to go downstairs to see the activity at my front door!!. I would recommend if you are looking for a smaller, and cheaper Show.

    Have these in the bedrooms. Great for a clock with alarm. Music through out the rooms you have these in. Just tell Alexa to play music everywhere and she will play it on all the devices

    Easy to setup and install. Haven't had too many issues or many problems with it, mostly because I don't use it too much outside of listening to music on it. I especially like that it is linked to my Ring cameras for ease of surveillance. Makes it convenient to access everything from one source.
