    I love my show 5. For one it was free, but because I’m an Alexa user already having an echo display device has been awesome. I can use it to see my front door, see live weather updates, and song lyrics while playing music. The sound quality is decent and so is the video quality.

    It works just like a regular alexa but with a screen. We were mainly interested in it linking to our ring camera, which it does easily. When someone rings the bell you get a live screen notification which is really nice. Picture quality is good also.

    I didn't think I would like this as much as I do. But it is handy. Especially in the kitchen while cooking. I can listen to certain channels (for news), music and books. I have NO complaints. I've also purchase the mini-me one (no screen) for bedroom nightstand.

    I added this to my existing Amazon Alexa products and it has been working great. I use it in my room as my alarm clock, for weather updates, it is connected to my ring doorbell so I don't have to leave the room to see who's at the door (usually solicitors lol).

    You can't find a device that will help you get the most out of using Alexa than the Echo Show. It is always giving you tips and showing you all of the various things it can do on the screen when you are not asking it something. The best assistant device I can imagine.

    I didn't think I really needed this... But as it turns out I love it! We have it paired with Kasa smart wifi plugs. I listen to music and play games on it. We had a storm and lost tv but we still had internet and I was able to check the weather with my echo show..very handy.

    Alexa is much smarter now, and I am able to customize my morning routine to waking up, listening to my preferred news, put on reminders. And it understands me very well, is able to offer new suggestions to some of the questions. Intuitive to set up and use.

    So far we love this product. The only complaint I have is when you’re listening to music it will not shut off. No matter what you say Alexa turn music off etc. it will not turn the music off. I do have the bigger version of this and like it a lot but the smaller version which is this version is suitable for small rooms. As for music listening on a bigger device is indeed much better. Overall the product is good and works great

    Purchased two monitors with Ring Video Doorbell for my grandmother for Christmas! Work great for her so she can see who’s at the door rather than searching for her phone. Easy to set up, placed in different rooms for optimal use. Would recommend!

    Got this as an add on with my ring. It's been fun and a great addition. I can see my door, ask it questions and even get cooking videos. I can even have it call my phone when I lose it which has come in handy a few times. I like it and find most of the features pretty handy

    Provides all the Alexa services with a handy video format for our kitchen location. Paired with Sirius and Amazon music sources gives us plenty of mood setting options from low key chilling to high energy let's get ready for company rock on. Nice to ask about the weather or spontaneous questions or operate remote lights and other devices with a dedicated video screen.

    Purchased an Echo Show 8 during Amazon Prime day and my wife and I really enjoyed the functionality the show provides. We purchased the Echo Show 5 for our bathroom and it gets used for daily weather updates, music, and the occasional disagreement requiring a "Google" check. The structural quality of the unit is outstanding and is pretty simple to set up. The unit connects via WiFi and is exceptionally strong connecting with my wireless router on the other side of the house. If there is one thing that is challenging with the Show, it is getting a feel for all of the options and capabilities associated with it. Keep in mind, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you have significantly more music options available than if you don't. I have purchased an additional few units for family members since we've discovered our enjoyment with it.

    Finally had time to set up my Amazon Echo 5 Smart Display with Alexa- Sandtone. Way easier than I thought to set up! Need to download some Family Photos on it. Plus get the right base, the salesman sold me an 8, I need a 5.

    I finally settled down with the Show 5. I tried all of the other competitor equivalent sizes/product and I am choosing Amazon. Reasons: 1. Googl sends a lot of traffic to their own servers. I specifically opted out of updates and statistic sharing but it was sending a lot of data. Im a professional computer security guy by trade and I did not like it at all. 2. The biggest complaint I have read about the Shows are that they send different AMZ statements like spam. Well, everyone forget to tell you that it can be turned off. Last note is Show 5 has a clock. So, its a better bedroom, office, living room device versus the Show 8. The 8 is just bigger but the clock doesnt stay on.

    Love this little hub. We have a main hub in the living room and made this an addition to the game room. Great to have to connect with music, see who is at the door, and drop in on a face to face with just asking Alexa.

    More compact than my first Echo Show and it fits in my kitchen nicely without taking up too much room. Still gives me all the great features PLUS I can video call upstairs and not climb the staircase to tell anyone dinner is ready. It's the best.

    Bought the ring security system at the same time. This unit not only replaces my alarm clock but allows me to see all the ring camera around the house anytime I ask. Love it! Going to Buy the 10.1 screen for the wife in the kitchen for recipes and access to the cameras.

    Decided to gift this to my parents since they got the Ring security camera doorbell from my sibling for Christmas. Great way for them to feel safe. This is also a great product for setting reminders, listening to music, or Skyping with family!
