Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does so much more. Plays music and provides the latest news. Great compact size.

The Echo Show 5 is the smallest Amazon Echo video device. It's a good size to have on your nightstand so that you can view your various video devices (e.g. video doorbell, video cams) around your house without getting out of bed. The larger Echo 8 or full size Echo is more useful in the kitchen so that you can see the screen from further away than the Echo 5.

I always wrote it off as pointless, then Bestbuy had it super cheap as a bundle so why not. Now that I have it, been inspired to cook more, and find it really helpful. Ended up getting 2 more for other rooms during some sale. Only wish it bigger and faster, but the price was too good. Biggest complaints are hearing me when there is ambient noise, then responses are off and wish it had more show specific skills. Handy video drop in where I can call and see the other room or family without the need for a tablet, phone or computer. Like I said, never thought I would get one, but now I love it.

Easy to set up. Excellent screen for viewing, good sound quality, very happy!

The Amazon Echo show 5" smart display with Alexa is a handy tool for the kitchen and I am finding it useful for home automation. In the kitchen were use it for weather forecasts, new updates, music, and as a timer. Just recently I linked it with a Ring doorbell and floodlights. the search for new devices was easily and I did not have to link to Amazon.

Love this so much. I love ordering Alexa around. "Alexa, turn on the floor lamp." "OK!" "Good girl." Wow. that sounded kinda gross. Anyway, I like the size, the fact that you can turn the display off, etc. No complaints so far (3 months later). Happy customer. Jazz hands!

Easy to set up and use. Great speakers. When I ask it to play music it’s very loud

Great size, works great! Easy to use and set up. Easy to charge.

With reliable WiFi these devices offer great functionality. We bought one for each of the kids room to help coordinate meals, getting ready for school, etc. great alarm clock, access to music with prime, sleep sound machine. My kids love them and they offered much cheaper options than a formal intercom system that m which would have had limited functionality.

Bought it during Black Friday sales. The echo show 5 is a good sized version than the rest (Echo Show 8 and 10) if one does not want it to stick out, visually, as much wherever it’s placed.the functions are responsive and the plus in purchasing this is the physical cover up of the camera lens if not in use. This ensures privacy from potential hackers.

I purchased this for my son & daughter-in-law, they are expecting in May. Their plan is to use as a monitor in the nursery. My son told me (2nd hand review) that the Show 5 is very responsive and easy to install. Connect time with his WI-FI was minimal. The touch screen is very responsive and crystal clear. It paired with his existing wireless devices. Very pleased with this purchase.

For a small unit it has incredible sound. I love it. It fits on my desk perfectly.

I bought this item to be a "smart" bedside alarm clock. It works perfectly for that task. Set an alarm simply by asking Alexa to set it. Automatically resets correct time during daylight savings time changes. Shows not only current time, but the date, and outside temperature. Very easy setup, and access to the full array of Alexa commands.

It is very convenient that we can just say "Alexa show me front door" to view our ring video doorbell. Or "Alexa tell shark to start cleaning" for our smart vacuum. We also use it to make our grocery list, video calls, play music, look up recipes, turn on/off TV, reminders/timers and ask any questions that we may have. I love it and would recommend it to anyone!

Prefer these over a Dot just because of the screen. Feel like I get more use out of it because of that feature. Ideal for bedside, best alarm clock I’ve ever had. Great addition to a bathroom as well. You can see what the weather is like while you’re getting ready or playing music while showering. Does lack the sound quality of the larger Echo Shows

I bought this for my aunt and she never uses smart devices. Now when we go over to her house, she is talking to her “Alexa” more than she speaks with us. She loves playing music from it, asking about the weather and news, and just overall finding out information. We also provided other devices that go with this and she uses it to help around the house. Great device for a first time user

Easy to use and to connect to wifi love it video are clear

I have one for my bedtime table and an 8” for my office. I like being able to ask Alexa to bring up my cameras or start the vacuum, turn off the lights etc. The audio quality is also better than expected. Occasionally it will turn on and just start playing a news story or something which can be annoying. The mute button and camera cover are nice additions.

Bought this for the wife for Christmas. She kept looking at it in the store, so I knew I had to get it. She wanted it to be able to connect with the Ring doorbell so she can say, “Alexa, show me the front door “, and you can see who is there on the screen. The speaker is better than the echo dot it replaces. Actually, we put the old echo dot downstairs, so we can use it as an intercom.

This version is much better than the old one, bigger screen and sound is much better
