    I got this as a free gift when I purchased my Ring alarm system. I wasn't sure about placing a device in my house with a camera that someone can "drop in" on me at anytime, but this does have a slide cover for the camera so I just leave it closed. I really like the fact that it works with my Ring cameras so I can easily answer the doorbell or check the driveway without having to get my phone.

    Amazing Echo Show

    We bought this because we started using smart plugs, ring security cameras and security system. It works great, we tell Alexa to look at the security cameras and we can see who’s at the front door. We play the radio on it everyday and it has really good sounding speakers. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a smart speaker.

    I use it for interface with Ring, and it works great. Alerts us when someone is at the door. Can display front door camera on the display by simply saying to do so. Can access from my iphone through an app to see an active pic of the living room. I would recommend getting a stand for the unit, otherwise you will be looking at the ceiling. A little slow on response to questions. You have to pause between saying "Echo" and what you want to ask. The dot (we call "Alexa") in the bedroom responds very quickly.

    I got this on sale and I am impressed. This is my first alexa device (im a google home user). I got this because I like how in alexa show devices you can see news feeds of whats happening. I could not get this on google or nest hub. This is smaller and fits my already reduced office space nicely. I also felt the speech recognition better on my Alexa device than on google nest hub.

    Would not have bought this separately by itself. It came with my Ring Doorbell as a bundle. It's pretty cool now that I have it. Works well with the Ring camera products. You can tell Alexa to show the various views by voice commands. I also use it to play music from Pandora or Amazon music accounts. You can play videos too from your Prime video account. Sound quality is pretty good for this small little box. Bossing Alexa around hasn't caught on yet in our household. Her responses have been snooty, nonconforming and stubborn. I think she's listening to all of our conversations and wants out. haha...

    Got this with purchase of Ring doorbell and it’s amazing. They play well with the doorbell and does everything the Echo devices are supposed to do but it also has a screen to display things. Helps announce when people ring the bell or when there’s motion. Plays music, answers questions, and my alarm clock for my bedroom. Got everything I expected. Great value since I technically got it for free for buying my Ring doorbell too

    We already had the full size Echo Show, and the Echo Show 5 came as a part of a bundle at Best Buy. The Echo Show 5 is great for us in another part of the house, although it could be great as your primary Show. We have had no problem setting up either of our Echo Shows, and they really tie in nicely with a Ring doorbell and several Ring Floodlight camera units, to show us what is going on without having to go to our phones.

    I've been using an echo dot for about a year, mostly for music and controlling some smart plugs. I got this echo show with the purchase of a ring doorbell. It works well with the doorbell, but I also like it a lot for other things. It makes for a nice always on clock and weather display. I really like that it displays the lyrics as I listen to amazon music. I am sure it can do a lot more, but I haven't fully explored it yet.

    We have a family of Amazon Echo devices so when our old alarm clock died we decided to upgrade to this option. Because it's in our bedroom we probably way under utilize it, but for privacy concerns and they type of use we needed it for, it's perfect. Love how I can verbally ask about the weather, set an alarm or remind myself about a task in the bedroom. And that it can sync with other Echo devices in the house.

    (Fairly) easy setup. Lots of optional settings. If you're not real techy, it has a couple of set up glitches but once you figure them out, really pretty easy. Great for use as a clock, especially on a night stand (best to turn off camera and "drop in" setting :). Recently also purchased Show 8 which we do not like (small clock). Show 5 does almost as much, takes less space and has a readable clock for a lot less money.
