Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it so much brought 2 more as a gift. I like the fact you can video call right from the device. Great sound quality and so many other great features like watching movies,music videos and listening to the weather just to name a few.

On sale, got a few of these to “smarten” up my home. Easy set up, and basic features for communications (drop ins, announcements, etc), alarms/reminders, music play function well. Alexa assistant seems to be expanding skills continually, so expect that will continue to explore features for the devices. Like the small footprint, and functionality for the size.

Love this little gadget. Everything you love about your echos but with a screen. When your music is playing the lyrics are scrolling on the screen. I also love watching the morning news update as I get ready without the hassle of turning tv on and finding channels.

Love this Echo 5. Would’ve rated higher but it comes with very little instruction. We were able to figure most of it out by searching you tube. Great picture quality & sound. Love all the things it can do. Lots of functions both practical and fun. Great product.

this is easy to set up. it came with the Ring doorbell I purchased and i like that it can show me the front door or any other cameras I have in the house. it would be nice to be able to use with facetime but it is not a feature. You can add pictures and change the face. it can be used as an alarm clock, which I did not think of until I read about it. Otherwise it is the same as any other alexa device.

We love this thing! We bought one a little while back, and when they went on sale at Best Buy, we knew it was too good of a deal to pass up. It’s easy to use, and can control many of the things in our house. We especially love the games.

Great picture, sound, and price. The things I didn’t like...the screen is pretty small. Not a dealbreaker for the price but looks pretty tiny sitting on our bar. The biggest con is it doesn’t pick up your voice as easily. I can be a few feet away and ask it to play a song...and my Alexa dot(upstairs)will start playing. Even with the cons it’s still a pretty awesome and I don’t regret the purchase

Got this as a bundle with the ring and have not played much with it. The kids took over and love that it can play their music when they ask. The sound is good and it responds and understands well to the different tone of voices, from the youngest to the oldest.

Set up is a breeze on this one...especially if you already are on amazon. Alexa can be a little fickle on things outside the basics but once you get used to how to talk to her to not get some weird answers but this little echo is a Jack of all trades...alarms clock, music player, photos frame, research assistant etc...a nice item to add to your amazon family and wireless family of devices.

I don't know how I managed before this purchase. Alexa is always there, ready and waiting to help keep me organized, make my phone calls, provide reminders, and entertain me. It is a life changer I highly recommend.

This is a great device. I can communicate and see my family without using my celphone. Great sound for a small room and I can even watch movies. I recommended this to my friends and family... they got their own now. Very Satisfactory.

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.

Wasn’t quite sure what I would use this for when I got it as a free gift with the Ring Security system. I’ve really enjoying using the echo to listen to music without having to touch the device while I’m cooking or washing dishes.

I love the echo show 5 I watch my ring cams and door bell on the screen Really cool. It seems pretty quick and the screen is very clear I love you can play Apple Music on it Alexa is fun and I am glad I have her and Siri in my everyday life!

Bought this to use as an alarm clock and to play sleep sounds. Works as expected for this purpose. Nice that you can talk to it rather than have to hit buttons. I did upload photo's to use as a background. Nice complement to the Echo Dot's I have.

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.

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 really like the Alexa products. I have three devices in my home controlling many things. If you have WiFi in your home you should consider one of these. If nothing else they make the best alarm clock radio you can buy at any price.

We use our echo show 5 as a night stand alarm clock. Easy to use and voice commands make it easy to get daily weather reports and news. Works well with ring door bell. Allows you to see who is at the door without going to the door.

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.
