Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great as an alarm clock. It has some really nice features and puts up touch controls based on voice commands. For example, if you use alexa to turn on your lights it gives controls to shut them off too. Produces nice charts of weather, air quality, etc. The only downside is the speaker is not as good as my other echo so get a better model if you want to play music a lot.

The Echo Show 5 is great. I love watching sports highlights in the morning before work or just putting on a podcast in the evening while I'm working in the kitchen. The sound is good and the screen is great. I would recommend this to anyone.

Like that this allows you to see what Alexa is playing or showing you. Has a camera so you can video call and block the camera when you don't want to have it accessible. On'y downfall is Alexa can't always "hear" me and I have to say ALEXA several times.

Excellent personal assistant. Works great with Ring. You tell Alexa to show you the front door when it detects motion or rings and it works great. Love how it plays amazon music or Spotify without issue and a great timer in the kitchen.

Screen size is perfect for me. Able to video chat, use as personalized digital picture frame, can control other alexa enabled devices as well as able to control lighrs and kther electronics with use of smart plugs. Great product!

I have been using this for a few weeks now. I have several Echo devices, and use this one next to my bed. Great as an alarm clock with all the standard Echo features. (This is how I use mine.) I am thinking of getting more of these to replace a couple of Echo Dots.

I own 2 Echo Show 5s and one 8 inch size. I have purchased multiple others for presents to others. All love this product. Replaced traditional alarm clocks in all bedrooms. Speaker for music is more than adequate. Love the Smart home features.

I was thinking about getting a weather station but opt to get this one instead. This is better value than a weather station as it can do a lot more. I only need it play music and tell weather but ended up using it for a lot more. Glad I made this purchase.

The screen with the Echo Show 5 is a really nice feature. The large default clock (which auto dims at night) makes this a perfect replacement for the traditional bedroom alarm clock. If purchased under periodic 2 for 1 specials, it's a particularly good deal.

Allow me to lower your expectations somewhat as we begin. First, it's a $44 item that is very good at what it does. I spend much of my time in the basement over this computer. My wife, who has mobility issues, stays upstairs. I bought two of these so that we could communicate without my continually having to go up and down the stairs to converse with her. For those purposes, it works perfectly. Using the "drop-in" function, I can see her and she can see me. The video isn't of the highest quality (maybe 480P), but she can see me when we talk, and I can see her. That said, the "smart home" possibilities of this device are virtually endless. Lights, locks, Ring doorbell, security systems, etc., can all be handled by a device that costs less than $50. All you have to do is to "Ask Alexa". Not bad.

Both the picture and sounds quality are pretty good for a screen this size and price. Unfortunately, you still need to use your phone for certain Alexa and Amazon features like purchasing, and doesn't work very well for video playback. Both seem like issues that Amazon can rectify with a software update, but as of this review they have not added either feature. Until they do I can't give it a 5 star rating.

I got this Echo Show as part of a bundle and so far it’s been great. I haven’t connected all the possible apps with it so I might be missing out but Alexa works well and the display is nice and very clear. Also like the lyrics that display when you play music.

Excellent value. Easy, intuitive set-up. Screen is large enough to be functional for a wide range of applications. The screen is not large enough to watch videos, for example, but we’ve found it perfectly adequate for our purposes.

prons: worth for money. video call is good good connecting with smart plugs , smart light output speaker is good worth for price. cons: YouTube is not available. sometimes need restart usually monthly once based on usage. no batter.

This is the next step up for Alexa. We're still learning more and more. It is a great companion to our Ring Doorbell. She shows us the view within seconds of asking her to. Very clear sound and picture. We bought ours in a bundle with the Ring and the Chime.

I use this model as an alarm clock in the bedroom and also to see whats going on with my dog using the Blink Mini that came along with it. Also great for the weather and it lets me know when I have a Amazon delivery. You will love it!!

We have one in every room. Easy to link. Love using it to show song lyrics and when paired with our Ring doorbell, it shows our front door. Great speakers and very intuitive. Love to call our family on the show and see them. Very cool product.

Amazon - Echo Show 5 Smart Display with Alexa. Bought for myself and as a gift. Easy to install and setup. Use in my kitchen. Use for receipts, information, music, to-do lists, call to my grandson. As time goes on I'm sure I'll find more uses.

I received this item as a bonus to my original purchase of the ring 2 doorbell. I love it. I have it set up on my bar in my kitchen which I sit at often and drink my morning coffee. I like to watch YouTube videos of cute puppies or baby animals and the TV would just wake up the whole house. I also use it to turn on my TV and the lights in the livingroom. Very easy to set up and link other things to.

Super easy to set up and link with Amazon account and other smart devices. Promotional pricing makes this affordable enough to purchase for each room of the house. Definitely recommend for bedrooms and offices as a secondary show device.
