Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this unit to replace the Amazon - Echo Show 5 Smart Display with Alexa - Charcoal to give it a try and I loved it so much I bought the larger Amazon - Echo Show 8 with Alexa - Charcoal. I replaced my old clock radio that I had to manually set for the weekends with Alexia and couldn't be happier. I hope to buy the Amazon - Echo Show (2nd Gen) - Smart Speaker with Alexa and built in smart home Hub - Charcoal when it goes on sales hopefully this year. The sound quality is amazing, much better than I thought it would be. You can't go wrong, buy it.

The circle show is very user-friendly having Amazon prime and an Internet connection very easy to use with visual as well as audio great little product

I bought this device to replace my Echo Dot who I gave to my son. I loved that it had a bigger screen and less expensive than the Dot. Setup was easy and like that it had a camera privacy cover. I get my Amazon delivery notifications on it and love how I can just get Alexa to do reminders, alarms, timer, weather and other notification without lifting a finger. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an Assistant without having to use cell phone to key in numerous task. Finally, like the feature where you can do video calls to friends that have similar Amazon Echo devices.

I’m an Alexa family, So when I thought a new ‘non iPhone alarm,’ I went to the Echo Show. It’s small size fits perfect on a nightstand and it does everything Alexa does on the other devices. The speaker isn’t great for music but does the job if accept its limitations. I use Alexa driven Sonos speakers for music but my Show is used like an old school alarm clock. The display is nice and pictures are crisp. I like how easy it is to access my smart cams from the Echo Show. Highly recommend but would consider the larger screen size if using in a larger room.

Great quality picture, very good output audio but Alexa gets confused about the commands. We ask for something and we get answers completely different, not what we ask. I can see who’s at my door because it’s paired with Ring, I like that feature a lot.

I got this as a free as a ad on with another Ring purchase. I really enjoy this little device. It took me awhile to get it coordinated with all of my Echo devices. The speaker is great and I really like using it to see who is at my Ring doorbell. It also will show you recipes and lots of other things. The screen is pretty small so I now want the larger version. I added photos to the screen but something happened so that they got very dark and hard to see so I turned that off. I had no idea that I would enjoy this so much.

I have purchased a bunch of these, both 5" and 8" models for our home, and our children/grandchildren. They are so helpful with accessing, information from the internet, getting weather, setting timer in the kitchen, setting reminders of upcoming events, revolving display of photos from my gallery on my phone, ect. Grandchildren love asking Alexa questions and to play music. With dropping feature you can use it as a baby monitor. Almost endless things you can do plus new things always being added.

I have 5 of these throughout the house, love the screen size and sound quality Great if you have a ring/eufy video doorbell or a home camera system

Very helpful little unit. Use it as alarm, to get weather info, to listen to music. Surprisingly nice sound for such a small unit

Replaced my echo spot with one of these for the bigger screen. I like having it on my night stand and quickly be able to look at my ring cameras

Have this echo dot on my night table and is very good to play relaxing music and also look at my front camera.

I already had an Echo Dot 3rd gen in my house and i loved it. I was able to control my Xbox and a few lights i had set up with some switches. Now with the Echo Show 5 i can complete the same tasks but ill have a visual Confirmation as well. Sound is similar to the Echo dot and since i live in a small place i dont need anything crazy as far as speakers. I honestly dont use 70% of this device though. I got it because it was on sale with the Ring purchase but i would say that the screen makes a difference so if you are deciding one or the other go with this one.

This is a great product for several reasons. First is that it is a great little music player to have in the background while working or playing video games. Second it works incredibly as an alarm clock. Third is that it is great to ask about current events or the weather. Fourth we have it linked to our security cameras so I can just ask it to show them to me if someone is at the door or anyone if I just want to make sure everything is okay outside. Overall incredible product would definitely recommend checking it out!

This first generation echo show gives lots of options in a small package. Lots of features packed in this small, easy to use device. Amazon sells the stand separately, and lots of upgrades to large screen sizes exist. Hard to go wrong with this device

I have several different Echo’s and love them all. This one is the perfect size for the bedside table. Easy to set up. Great product

At first,​ i was thinking, wow this is small. However, this thing works great. We had the first echo show, and we are very happy with this one. It works great, the sound quality is great, the picture quality is good as well. I was hesitant at first, but now I am really glad we purchased it. It takes up a lot less space on the counter and with the stand you can adjust the camera height.

We have it sitting on our kitchen counter. I like how it scrolls random news stories and other info on the screen, good mix. Also, it puts in text underneath what to say to get it to report on the story. That’s very helpful. Integrates well will other Echo in the room. For whatever reason we like to watch shows on it...even though we have an iPad sitting close by. I think it’s because the sound is so much better. The speaker hole on the bottom and the angle reflect it up to you and is much fuller than an older iPad.

Setup and app can be a bit quirky.... but overall worth the money if you can get it on sale. Alexa app can still use some improvements.

Surprisingly useful. Pros: * Useful in Kitchen for hands-free named timers and recipes * Integrates well with other Alexa devices and Fire TV devices * Sound/music is surprisingly high-quality * Works well with Pandora Premium (I haven't tried it with Spotify, Apple Music, or other supported music services) * Nice for hands-free video calls with other Echo and Alexa app users * Convenient for hands-free voice calling * Convenient for controlling many smart home devices * Calendar integration with Google is convenient for me. Cons: * Only integrates with a few video services (Prime and Hulu are the only major ones on the list for video payback directly on the device * Fire TV Recast will sometimes work with video playback on this device. It's not reliable.

So I'm an Android guy myself I use Google for everything however they were out of the Google version of this at the store at the moment and I noticed that when I started to think about it I had a fire TV which is compatible with this I also had to other smart devices in my home that you're compatible with this and then a tile and a Chipolo which is basically a tile for your keys and they had a deal running where if you bought this you got a blink wireless camera for $10 extra so it was a no-brainer I got a wireless camera just technically not wireless because I had to run a 10-ft extension cord to plug it in from Ross the other day for 2499 so this was like an absolute steal would recommend if deal is still valid buy it ASAP
