    Got this to use with the blink camera we got. They don’t work together camera on it is crap. It turns on by its self and will start talking without prompting. Have to keep the camera on it closed in case. We do like how loud it can get when playing music. When talking to Alexia over music she can hear you. That’s it’s only saving grace. Would never buy or recommend. We don’t use it as it should be used soooo just not for our house hold.

    It's okay, it does what it should but it does it slowly. It also goes off randomly, which is lovely. Half the skills are buggy as hell.

    We bought this as a part of a package with a Ring doorbell. The setup with the Ring didn't work so we returned all of it, but the Echo Show worked ok.

    We have not used this much. We have a louder Alexa speaker and you have to pay extra to listen to Amazon music on a second device.

    Not the easiest to use. Very confusing. Not sure how to get the most out of this device and still don’t know how to video chat people.

    The 5 inch is still too limited compared to the bigger versions. Was hoping to be able to watch Hulu, but it's not allowed on this device.

    I don’t really use it that much beyond playing music. Know what you want to do with it before you buy it. You may not really need it.

    Biggest issue we have with this is that it’s microphone isn’t as good as the Alexa dots. I definitely need to speak up more when using it

    it has a hard time understanding and I hate that it changes screens all the time. I understand that it needs to not to mess up display but is ignoring.

    If you play something for hours, say, any news station. It makes this device stall, when you tell Alexa to stop, it wont listen. You have to unplug it.

    In conjunction with the Ring set-up, Echo Show 5 is a good match, though i suspect the price will have to come down some for more broad adaptation.

    Just does basic things

    This works for pretty much basic things. It takes forever to load videos and even for the ring camera. It is okay for basic things like playing music.

    We already have an echo, so I was looking forward to having the visual. It works ok, but the screen is too small to be viewed from decent distances.

    I cant really say too much. I really only use it to play music and as an alarm. It listens well and responds . I haven't really tried much with it.

    I do not like the fact I cannot control the volume. I can tell it to mute but it doesn't stay muted until I say unmute.

    I cannot use the device since I cannot remember my last zip code I used at Amazon. It came free with a tv purchase so I guess I cannot complain.
