I replaced the Echo on my office desk with an Echo Show 5. I like the ability to see my Ring cameras instantly from my off site office. I use for quick reminders and word definitions. There are many small office applications that this Echo can be used for. Don't forget music, I run my Echo Show 5 through my computer speakers. We also replaced our night stand alarm clocks with Echo show 5s. I have enjoyed all of the Echo products and this one is no exception.

I have owned many "smart speakers" from Apples Siri, google home and the original Amazon echo. But this is the first one that I purchased that has been totally embraced by all my family! we use it to control lights in the living room, our Ring Doorbell and anything else you can think or. Some one is always asking it something. The ease of use is so amazing and the ease of set up is absolutely insane. it was so so easy to set up. I recommend that if youre in the market for a smart devise give this little gem a look. for the price and all is does, its a steal!

Very handy Alexa. Works great to have on desk. Small but big enough to see everything. So much information at your workstation.

I love this Echo Show. Not only is it a personal assistant, I use it to play songs throughout the day. If a song is on Amazon Music, then it is accessible to you. I don’t need a subscription to Amazon Music to listen to the oldies. If you ask for something that is not there, Alexa will substitute songs. I have learned to be more specific and say, “Alexa, play songs from ABBA, or play songs from the Carpenters. One day, I stacked books up too close to the echo dot and Alexa asked me if I needed tips on organization. Wow!

I bought a ring doorbell pro and received this show for free...this has started my house transformation into shows and dots all over the house now. I gave the show 5 to my wife and she uses it for an alarm clock and being able to answer the ring doorbell from upstairs on it is great when you dont want to run downstairs to answer it. my wife liked it so well that i bought a 2nd one for myself to replace my old tire alarm clock. we love them!!!

I still need to get used to having this in my kitchen, I keep forgetting to use it. It's great to play music as I'm cleaning up or cooking. I love that I can do so many things hands free like add items to my grocery list, check the weather, play music, set times, etc. I have it connected to my ring doorbell and I can easily see who is at my door from my kitchen to decide if I need to open up or not (stupid solicitors!!). The only thing that I don't like is that it is not fully functional when searching the web or going to websites. For example, I asked it to show me pork tenderloin instant pot recipes and it gave me about 10 recipes but not a single 1 was for the IP. There is no way to type in a search, refine a search, etc. There is no way to send a recipe I find on my phone to my show. Overall this is nice to have in the house.

I have a number of Echo devises. This is my favorite so far. Looks good, is compact, and much better sound that a Spot and maybe as good as an Echo.

Love this for my desk at home. Perfect size, tells me the time, plays music, news updates, and more.

I really like the small size that can be tucked in easily to any space. I love the closed off camera function! Great speaker volume and clarity.

I had the original echo, and decide to get a second one to comunícate with kids. This is what I believe a good screen size / device sound.

Good picture quality, easy to set up and use. Scroll your photo in amazon photo account, make calls, control smart fixtures.

I'm slowly replacing my various clock radios with the Echo shows. I find it perfect because it's simple to speak a wake up time, ask for weather, news and traffic. Plus, while the speaker is on the small side it does sound excellent. Also it will connect to Bluetooth which is great as I have in BT enabled ceiling speakers in my bath that connects to the echo show I have in there. Very customizable and it controls all my smart home items. Really can't find a down side to the echo shows.

I love my echo show. It can turn the lights on and off with my voice, play my favorite music, show me who’s at the front door and so much more.

This device is not quite as great as I’d hoped. First, it’s a bit sluggish to interact with. Second, setup was a pain compared to other echos that don’t have a screen. Having to enter my wifi and Amazon passwords into the device itself rather than at least having the OPTION to set up through the Alexa app on my phone was a huge miss. My Amazon password is very long! I don’t love the feeling that it is showing me ads all the time. I did figure out how to turn that off, at least. I’m just not quite seeing the value of this vs a traditional echo quite yet. Time will tell.

Love this show 5 sound is great to be so small but not to small to see the screen, so many thing you can do with this device.

This is an added addition to our home my husband loves it he plays his favorite music on it an drops in on the kitchen to look for me an uses it as an alarm clock as well an for the price it was an excellent purchase we actually purchased 2 more as well you get an intercom, music, alarm clock, make calls from it as well or watch a tv program where can you get all that for the money also ask any question an get an answer like what is the weather for the week or what is the headline news for the day its great can not go wrong with this

I bought this for my mom and she absolutely loves it. It was pretty easy to set up especially if you already have a Amazon account. She uses it for YouTube videos, music, videochat (via Skype only supported) and when her phone is connected she uses the speakers for zoom calls. I'm very surprised at the good quality of the speakers. I recently bought her a ring and paired the 2 together and it's perfect. I debated between this size and the bigger one. I'm pretty happy with the smaller size.

Great companion to the ring doorbell. Easy set up, works great. I upgraded from an echo dot and it's easy to read and the speaker is very good.

Works well although still learning to make a call. I like the lyrics display for music. There is a bigger size to consider.

Got it for free because I bought a Ring door camera but I like it. I use it as my alarm Clock n to play music by my bed.
