Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love all my Amazon Alexa & Echo Show Products. The Echo Shows are my favorite I have this one and a larger one that was gifted to me. They are very convenient and really easy to use. I have the larger one in my kitchen and use it when I’m cooking and baking. It’s like having a personal assistant you can ask to do things like add items to your shopping list or set a reminder or alarm! I love it. And I love that all my echo shows and echo dots connect to each other and I can play music in each room in my house. You can also connect them to any ring cameras you have which I love!

I bought this to use as an alarm clock for the bedroom. It is great, adjustable brightness, plays music from multiple sources, sets time automatically, just tell it when you want the alarm set for, tell it to snooze....also has multiple ambient sounds. Control smart lights with it, see who is at your front door and speak to them if you some type of ring doorbell, will tell you the weather and show you the radar upon waking.... So many great things, with the BONUS of, they put a physical barrier in front of the camera if you so choose so you can not accidentally answer a Skype call while in a compromising position. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for a new alarm clock.

This product is just perfect. I bought Myself the larger one, and bought three of the smallest ones as Christmas gifts. I’d be lying if I said People didn’t absolutely love it. So convenient when cooking, and the fact that you can also watch shows and movies on it is amazing. That’s besides the fact that you can view who’s at the front door, turn on lights, and being able to play music all over the house with connected devices. 10 out of 10

Although I don’t have THAT much use for the screen, I do like that I can see each of my ring cameras on command. I like Alexa products; the sound, visuals, and overall quality are exceptional. It does not, unfortunately, have the capability to pair with opening Sling TV unlike the echo dots. They’re a very compact yet robust device. Very simple to use though a bit finicky with menu/home screen placement/location at first. I’d still buy a second at the same price.

I'll admit I don't use so many of the features available on this. It's mainly a matter of not enough time. I use it to check time and weather, but more than anything I use it for playing music from my amazon account or spotify account. The size is large enough to see well, but not obtrusive. I think it's a really good value, especially if you take advantage of all the features it has. Maybe I'll get more time to do that when I retire.

I was looking to upgrade from my Echo Dot since I had been using Alexa a lot more to control my smart home gadgets. The sound quality from the speaker is surprisingly good. When I really want to listen to music I have it synced to my soundbar and it works great. The Show is in my living room and when I am in my kitchen it has no difficulty hearing me and performing my commands. The size is great too since it doesn't take up too much space on my side table. Overall a great upgrade.

The screen size is good for desk. I like it because it saves me the trouble to talk to sales people. Easier to hang up than closing the door in someone's face. The speaker on the device is decent enough to fill a room. The Alexa features are great to have as well! I like being able to upload pictures to have a slideshow of the family. The drop in ability is great! helped when I needed to call the kids when they wouldn't pick up the phone.

When this product first came out, I couldn't understand why anyone would buy it until Christmas last year when I got this cheap as part of a bundle. I already own a Google Mini which I feel Google is way better than Alexa on search results, so I was skeptical about the Echo Show 5's practicality. It has a small color screen which the main purpose is to serve as a clock so I figured it would make a nice "smart" clock to replace my "dumb" alarm clock that resets the time to 12:00 whenever the electricity goes out, but the good thing about a "smart" clock is that it can tell accurate time even after electricity goes out and comes back on again. Another great function is the ability to instruct this "smart" clock to wake you up (i.e. set an alarm) which I mainly use Google Mini for. Another great function is the ability to ask about the weather and have the screen display some weather details. The Echo Show 5 has now replaced my Google Mini. I also bought an Amazon Smart Plug and have my lamp connected to it so I use the Echo Show 5 to help me turn on or off the lamp, hands-free. I couldn't understand why people needed something like this to turn on/off lights, but I now realize why (it's just faster and more convenient than walking up to the lamp to physically do it, and especially at times when you're in bed and don't want to get up).

Handy little device. Great sound for such a little appliance. Small and inconspicuous.

Excellent product! Great graphics and sound quality. Easy to use!

've been a long user of Alexa products, from the original bluetooth speaker (ECHO), to having about 8 Dots around the house and a Spot as an alarm clock. I didn't like the form of the Show, but this Echo Show 5 is just the perfect size for what I need in my media room. And it's working so well, I am thinking about going through and changing our some of my Dot's for more of the Show 5's. I like it that much. The sound is nice and warm from it, with a nice thump at low volumes. Take the volume too high and the bass dissipates and you end up with something a little more tinny sounding. However, the screen is intuitive and easy on the eyes. I have it set to blend in with the countertop that it's on, so it's really unobtrusive. Really like the design of this one, it makes a lot more sense to me. Although the slider for the camera on it cheapens it a little for me. It's not quite as elegant as I would have expected, especially from the quality of the earliest Amazon Alexa products, the slide switch is a bit plasticy, and not extremely aesthetic when the camera is covered up, as it shows a white circle on the black bezel. Voice integration with all of my Alexa enabled ecosystem is perfect, the voice field, even with movies blaring in the room is exceptional, and overall I'm really happy with my Show 5.

It has the perfect footprint for the bedroom nightstand. Speaker is great for listening to music from pandora. if you have a ring cam you are able to view it. Alarm clock feature is good. And you can still use Alexa feature tip control your smart devices. A chill feature is if another person has a echo show, you can video chat.

The Pros: compact design, great sound, video drop ins. The Cons: microphone off line, video quality could be better, lacks back to previous screen. So I have been using this for a little over a week now it’s overall it’s pretty great. You can definitely stream sound good sousing music. It’s compact which I think makes it best for a kitchen counter where you don’t want to take up to much space. There are added features like having more functionality when it comes to skills and games because of the screen. I do like that you can play prime videos on it as well. However, when you don’t need the microphone to be on is great but there’s a big red line across the bottom of the screen. Now if your watching a movie and want to turn it off then that line is quite annoying. I think the button that turns red on the top is good enough. The built in camera does provide decent video calls but I have found the call quality to be very scratchy on both ends. Lastly I wish you could go back to a previous screen like if you pause a movie it goes back to the home screen after awhile and you have to find it all over again. Overall picking this up on Black Friday was a great option and I’d recommend it!

I like this Alexa all I have to do is tell her to do something like set my alarm, play songs, When cooking I have a cookbook in front of me this is just so cool. I can also see my outdoor camera's and know when someone is outside.

Speakers are great for the size of the unit and fill the room with sound. So far I have only used it as an alarm clock, playing my favorite music and some video clips. The screen is large enough to view from across the room and it only took minutes to set up. Haven’t tried all the features yet. I also have the echo dot in other rooms of my home.

I got this gift for my 12 year old niece, and she loves it. She listens to music, watches YouTube videos, and asks Alexa quick questions. She also likes seeing the weather quickly and using the alarm clock. It does not take up much space but is exceptionally useful- perfect for a bedroom nightstand.

I wanted a echo show for my bedroom to replace a digital alarm clock and play my iHeart music. The size is perfect and it was easy to add to my existing alexa system of automated devices. Sounds pretty good for its size. Performs well and provides instant weather forecasts as well as other alexa functions.

This Echo Show 5 (5 inch screen), is the perfect size to have in the bedroom, at least for my room. I can now know the time, weather, news, set alarms, reminders, and dates, all with my voice, and without touching my phone (but you may also do that if you pair it with the Alexa app). And, like I mentioned, it has a nice 5 inch screen, where you can customize the home screen, wallpaper, and clock to many designs to fit your mood or decor. It is very interactive; you can watch videos like Prime video, listen to music from Amazon Music, Spotify, and even radio stations (via the internet). It also has a browser to surf the net, so it basically can do it all. I can see how people would want one in the kitchen, since it can do so much, including pulling up recipes and setting timers. It also has a built in camera to you can "drop in" like a video intercom from anywhere using another echo or the Alexa app from your phone. Hey, you can even use it kinda like an indoor security camera to drop in and look around (depending on where you face the camera). Love this, will getting its bigger brother in the near future.

I bought the Echo Show 5 for my home office and it is the perfect size for my desk area. I love being able to customize the settings to only show what I want to see. Also like being able to see the view from the Ring Doorbell on it when I'm working. I also bought a stand for it to raise it up a little from the desk.

Perfectly sized to keep on the side of a table. Using this to listen to music or viewing recipes. While our family discussions, if any question or conflict arises, we ask Alexa. Further, my Bose music system, TV and lights now can be instructed via echo show in Alexa to turn on or off :)
