   It’s Just OK

   I thought this would be as customizable as you can get. The time option presents with an overlay of itself. If you see a story just before it changes the screen, it doesn’t understand that you’d like to go back. You have to wait 5 minutes for it to cycle through all the predetermined information you didn’t ask for. Even then, that particular story that caught your interest may be on a cycle of stories all its own.Setup is relatively easy as you have limited options considering it has a screen.Otherwise it is of excellent quality. The camera cover seems cheap, but that’s a minor issue to me. Sound quality is good as are the images. It takes up minimal space. The screen is super sensitive.

   Didn’t work for me and got returned

   First off, I currently use only limited Echo functions. By far the primary is voice control lights/plus. Next is finding out the weather and occasionally asking simple questions and conversion of measurements, and finally to play music (I have Sonos system so there is little need for music from Echo).The good-The device has a quality feel and looks good. The fabric covering looks good (not sure not it stands up long term but I have no problem with it on my 5th Generation echo dot). But as others have said who thought it was a good idea to put a white cord on a charcoal device?? The screen has good resolution and brightness. The volume is more than adequate. The device is good at picking up voice commands (but more on that later).In addition to the way I currently use the Echo, my needs for this were pretty basic (I thought). First off a way to control lights/outlets by touch pad rather than voice, visual display of the weather, and reading recipes and occasional video in the kitchen or else as a bedroom clock.My first problems customizing the device. There are way too many options that need to be turned off. From past experience with Amazon devices I was pretty sure that I may need to go through the option setup after an O/S update. During this process the device was very slow, it was non responsive twice for more than 2 minutes, and once locked up and I needed to unplug it (and lost some of the changes I was making). The slow response and non responsiveness continued in all use of the device but fortunately not as bad as it was during setup, but it did lock up twice while I was using it. I rather quickly saw that a 5.5 inch screen would make much of my wish list hard to meet on a really useful basis but I thought based on the sale price I could compromise.As a way to control lights/plug there is no way to make that the default screen. While it should have only been a quick swipe to get to the control screen the problem with slow response and locking up it quickly became a bit of an issue. In addition, I found that if I had been using it to watch a video any swipe on the clock/Home Screen returned to the video and did not take me to the screen to select any use other than video. I had to go through the process of going back to Home Screen and then swiping down to get to the option selection screen. Also a problem was the 5.5 screen just did not allow the display of much of the lights/plugs without a slow scroll. It quickly became apparent that my main use was going really fulfill what I was hoping for.For my purpose of asking weather, answering basic questions, it worked fine. It had no problem picking up my voice. Unfortunately the small screen size meant visual display of the weather was of no use unless you were close to the device. However it had the same problem I have with some my other Echo devices in that the wrong Echo device sometimes responds. This is more of an Amazon issue than device issue. I get around this by using a different wake word for each device. So it fulfilled this need, but so does every Echo device.I played some music. It doesn’t display much in the way of options (just most recently played) of music to play. It is really designed to use your voice to control. No display of playlist or anything. I tried to add an additional Echo to play music. It started the song at the beginning rather than at the same place as the song currently playing on the Echo Show. It also said that two of my other Echo devices (I have 4 others) were not compatible. I could still select them and they seemed to play fine so not sure what the compatibility issue was. I didn’t pursue this from the other device or really try it much. While the sound isn’t bad but it wasn’t as good as my Echo dot 5th generation. It was tuned for too much bass, I could not change the equalizer to make the sound more than adequate. I was expecting an improvement over the Echo Dot. So while it seemed to meets my needs, I called it a fail because of the potential issues with playing of music on multiple devices and no improvement in sound quality.At this point I realized that a 5.5 in screen just limited the device too much for most visual purposes. Recipes and videos were too small to watch unless it was really close to you. Using a larger tablet or even laptop became a better option.Finally the clock. Using the adaptive lighting it was too dark to read in a dark room. There was the constant interruption of suggested skills that were brighter than anything else and quickly became very annoying. The one night I used it, when I looked at in the morning the screen was blank until I touched it to reactivate the device.So, even on a good sale price it just didn’t do what I wanted/expected and it was returned. For light/plug control I will use an old tablet and find a stand for it, for music and weather/questions I may get another Echo Dot (maybe the one with a clock built in). I can use a tablet to show a list of the music that I have available and not have to use my voice. For recipes and video in the kitchen I will continue to use a tablet or laptop. My hope for one device that fulfill multiple wants just didn’t work and the Echo Show was returned.

   Can’t live without it

   I saw this at two of my sisters houses. I loved being able to drop in. I love getting daily jokes, yoga moves and local weather. I love having the background music instead of the television on all day. It is useful for alarms while laundry is in the basement. Sometimes it’s an annoyance calling her name even if we are the only people in the house.

   Mini computer

   I upgraded from the Echo Plus. I love it. I was going back and forth between the echo show 5 with and the echo show 8. The echo show 5 is the perfect size it’s not too big or too small. You can do so much with it. You can create sticky notes for to do lists, create music Playlist, and the list goes on and on. I love that it displays random facts.

   Best and easiest Setup ever!!!

   I literally only connected it to the power and let it go, only thing I had to set was the brightness level, everything else including my house settings were already synced with the rest of my amazon devices. Fully recomend to move up if you have an old amazon dot as I did.Works flawlessly with the rings, and it’s small so you really dont need a 8inches one to be able to see your rings now.

   Why can’t I just show a clock?

   Though I’ve been an Amazon customer for almost 30 years, I’ve resisted buying any Amazon devices (except a Kindle for my wife) until now. And after a single day of fighting with this stupid Amazon Echo Show and then returning it, I feel vindicated and won’t be dabbling in the Amazon/Alexa ecosystem again.I bought the Echo Show to pair with a Blink doorbell. I simply wanted to get an audible alert and video feed when someone pushed the doorbell in our upstairs bedroom, and the combination was recommended as a simple and economical way to do that. As a bonus, I figured the Echo Show could serve as a digital alarm clock and allow my wife to listen to her podcasts while she was upstairs.But setting up the Blink with the Echo Show was anything but simple, even though they’re both Amazon devices. First, I had to install the Blink app on my phone and create a new Blink account (why?), then *also* install the Alexa app on my phone. I don’t want to install Alexa and don’t need another voice assistant; I’m happy with my Google Assistant. Then I had to figure out how to teach Alexa a new “skill” to listen for the doorbell press, which took a lot of Googling to figure out. The result? Alexa simply says aloud that there’s someone at the door, but does not automatically show the video. But Blink also alerts my phone, and it’s actually simpler to tap on it to show the video than get Alexa to do it.Then there was the matter of getting this to simply show a clock the rest of the time. Though this device seems designed to look just like a nightstand alarm clock (who would actually watch movies on this 5″ screen?), getting it to only show a clock proved almost impossible. Apparently you have to go into the “Home Content” and disable each and every one of the several dozen things it wants to show you by default, from recipes to sports scores to news stories to Amazon delivery updates to ads. (And then do it again when Amazon automatically adds new items to the list.) I did all of that and followed the instructions I found to only show a clock. The end result was it that it showed a clock superimposed over a clock, then would flash after several seconds, show an entirely different clock, flash again, show nothing, etc. Seriously? How do you screw up something so simple as a clock? And apparently I’m not the only one who has run into this buggy behavior.I appreciate that many people like Alexa devices and all that they can do. But I’m steering clear. If I want to watch a movie, I’ll do it on my TV or tablet. If I want to listen to music, I’ll fire up the Sonos. For everything else, I vastly prefer my phone or desktop computer to this small, buggy, ad-ridden device that is too smart to simply show me the time.

   Good for the price

   Initially, I couldn’t get the power cable to snap in snuggly, so it shut off repeatedly, making set up difficult. But I finally got it plugged in and set up. The quality of the speakers is not impressive, the sound shoots out the back of the the device. if I put something behind it to reflect the sound forward, it’s better. Turning the volume to maximum pushes all the sound to the middle of the range, losing the highs and lows. It is fun and convenient to use. This device has more features than I have explore so far.

    Saftey

    Not sure if it has been noted but I believe it is important and I didnt know. I pay for Alexa Emergency Services, however I couldn’t get my Alexa to call them. I was only able to do the test call, even when saying the indicated phrase. I had two contacts with the word (help) in them, Alexa will try call the contacts with the word “help.” So in case of emergency, have NO CONTACTS with the word help, even using the phrase “Alexa, call for help.” It will just continually attempt the contacts and not actually call emergency services.

    The perfect gift or self care buy 😉

    Bought this product for my apartment. It worked great for me and my roommate. Even found the way to connect it to our lights and TV. Not only was it effective with lights and electronics but it also was the perfect screen for my niece when I needed to move around the place and she needed to come with. She enjoyed the tiny screen and it wasn’t too loud. Portable and Readable. Love it!

    Defective

    EDIT: Not as easy to return under warranty than the 30 day return guarantee. But after contacting and getting a representative, they exchanged under warranty. Second one setup with no problem. Thank you Amazon. It takes me through the setup over and over and over. Cannot manually input address, will not let me click on the lines to enter. Reset it. Tried to deregister it and it won’t even deregister. It just wont pair. And has a black screen wheb it goes to sleep. Now trying to get warranty to cover since it’s less than 2 months and the only option is watch a video, troubleshoot it, contact support. Ummm did all that! Guess a call is in order now. A day wasted at the lakehouse. It is my 3rd echo and pretty bummed.

    Echo show 5 w/ security cam

    My dwelling is a mobile home. I’ve found when I’m in the back room I can’t hear anything from the other side. I’ve missed more than a few people who told me they stopped and knocked. Though my German Shepherd Dog has very good senses she hasn’t the experience to tell what’s important. I was going to get a door bell, but I jumped into modern tech. Purchased a Security camera for the front. And I’m amazed at what the tiny camera can do.It’s only 2″x 2″x 2″ cube and came with everything to mount.Besides 1080 p day vision it has IR Night vision in color. Above the lens is a fairly bright led spot light, and it also has a mic and speaker for two way communication. Oh, and it also has a siren.Cost was originally 40.00 for the Wyze Camera OG, marked down to 19.00 and I got a gift card for Amazon for 10. After tax it cost 10 dollars. But wait it gets better… The manufacturer has a functional service web site, for 19 bucks you get their full service with an AI which identifies packages, people, or pets. It’s linked also to Alexa so if I’m out back she announces the ‘event’ and who is at the door. If I’m not home a push notification is sent to me , and I can view live stream or review the recording of who is at my place. Yea, another reason for the communication mic is that it not only looks but also listens. Sound or Visual will trigger the camera to record, and it’s all kept in the Wyze cloud which doesn’t cap your data. So if I’m feeling lazy I can call out to Alexa and tell her to show me the front porch and she can put it on my Echo show which will be here tomorrow. You don’t have to have all this, because the camera also takes a memory card if you want.I bought an Amazon Echo dot 1st gen about 3 years ago. It’s still running. She tells jokes, News, Weather, and any song I could possibly want to hear. The Echo show has a screen good color rich sound with deep base, about the size of a cell phone. It can also set alarms for you. Just shout out to Alexa . And consider I’m only using the low end stuff. They have appliances, HVAC, and all your lighting can be managed as well The show I got for 39. That brings this whole affair to 69.00 and add in the Wyze service for 19 a year. So for 88.00 I got a security system , severe weather watch, A stereo with Thousands of songs, podcast and audible book player, and if you get bored Alexa likes to play games too.You can’t put a price on peace of mind, but I got a deal.

    Superb Product

    The Echo Show 5 (3rd Generation, 2023 release) is like Google’s smart clock. Both are stylish with the right dimensions to easily put on a nightstand. Both are responsive to your questions, but I am finding the Amazon product to be more accurate in its responses to questions. Both have a phone app for easier interaction with the devices but only with certain features. The only annoyance I have with the Amazon product is that selection for the screen (whether it is your own photos or prechosen ones such as the nature scenes) are too brief and rotate too frequently. However, this is minor. Otherwise, I am pleased with how the Echo Show 5 displays the time and other information.

    Amazing

    Where has this been all my life???I love this Amazon Echo! It was easy to set up and I have had no issues with it. I’ve had it now for about 1 year. It is amazing to have HANDS FREE alarm clock. It plays my music when I’m getting ready. It will play shows, news, weather, and more!The light DOES dim at night when lights are out. I’m a light sleeper and a bright light would not be good for me. This is not the case, as I’ve seen other reviews mention. Mine works as it should. Then during the day it brightens again. As you can guess, you customize it the way you want. Many options.This is a fun addition to the Echo family. My only thought was, why didn’t I buy this sooner??

    Good, but a little buggy

    This is the first Echo Show I’ve set up, but I’m pretty tech savvy. Here’s the pros and cons so far.Pros- Looks like a bedside clock (if you set it up that way) and is not very noticeable. I like this.- Sound seems good so far. This is why I bought this model when it was on sale. I heard the sound quality on older models wasn’t as good. This one is pretty loud. I’m happy with that.- Has a slider to cover the camera if you want privacy- Has a button on top to turn off the microphone and Alexa ‘Listening” if you want (you’ll see a red bar at the bottom of the screen if you do this.)- I like the Drop In feature.- I like that it also has a home monitoring feature (but it doesn’t work right)- This can also supposedly sense motion and trigger alexa skills for that too, but I haven’t tried that yet. I dont’ believe they are true motion sensors. I believe they detect motion using the camera. If the camera is covered, there’d be no motion sensing.Cons- It’s small. But I knew that. The screen is about the same size as a smartphone turned on its side.- If you’re making a video call to this, and you are using a cell phone in portrait view, your image is going to be so tiny on this echo show’s screen! It’ll be vertical and in the center. It won’t enlarge to fill the screen. Best way to call this device will be from a tablet or or something else in horizontal view. (With a camera that is centered and not off to the side, when it’s horizontal.)- “Home Monitoring” worked the first day, and I could not get it to work after that. I don’t know why. It’s frustrating and annoying. I did everything I could think of, short of calling customer support (which I’ll try another day) I read that this is a common problem.- There’s a lag sometimes, especially with the app I’m using on my phone, to connect to this. That makes it hard to know sometimes if you need to press a button again. Also, any time you change a setting, you might get stuck/frozen for a while, while it updates with amazon’s cloud. Sometimes I had to unplug it and plug it back in, to get it out of that loop.- No battery. If this gets unplugged or power goes out, this won’t work. You also can’t move it around the room (because it’s plugged in!) – Again, I knew this beforehand. FYI, I wanted to use a fire tablet in “show mode” to get around this problem, but the tablets are not loud enough. I needed a loud device for video calls. This echo show IS loud.- I wanted to make a widget with an alexa skill to make a tappable shortcut for a phonecall. I could not find a way to do this. It might be possible, but I could not find instructions for this online, and customer support could not help me with this either.- I did eneable “Tap to Alexa” for a while (then later disabled it). That might work ok for someone who has speech difficulty, and needs visual buttons. But if you’re trying to add buttons to simplify this for a more debilitated person or someone who doesn’t know a lot about tech, that won’t help much. The text under the tiles is small, the icons for the tiles can only be customized with an image from the built in set – and they all look similar. There’s no way to customize a tile enough to make it stand out, so someone knows “THIS is the button you press to call me!” You also cannot fully customize the tiles screen. Some tiles cannot be deleted or re-arranged. (others can.)- This doesn’t have night vision. I knew this already. If a room is dim or dark it’s hard to see the other person and that room.Mostly it’s a little buggy. I’m hoping things will work better as I get more used to working with it.The lag sometimes is frustrating.Things not working that worked the day before, is frustrating.Having SO MANY SETTINGS to customize is frustrating. Most related to extras I don’t want to be shown. Ads, suggestions, “Try this!” etc. I want this to be a clock that can make video calls. That’s all I want to do with this. It is difficult to find ALL the settings you need to find, to simplify it to that. It’s great that it can do so many other things, but I want this to be more simplified, and that’s not easy to do.I may report back later (I may not 😉 ) once I’ve used it more. I really like all the things about it that work. I’m a little frustrated by some of the bugginess.

    Some Improvements needed

    After several months of ownership, I thought I would post a review. I purchased this model particularly because it was to have support for Matter over Thread. Home automation is my the main thing I use this for with Apple products and Apple Home being my system of choice as the main control. I have an Echo Show 5 in the kitchen because that is the area where you are most likely to have your hands full and need to give a voice command. I also have a program that is basically a timer where the command is “Run Distiller” and it turns on the distiller and after three and a-half hours turns it off. So with that as the basis, I have a couple improvements that I have come across that are needed.The first is a long time issue I have had with the both the 3rd generation and previous generation of Show 5 and that has to do with the total reliance on needing to be connected to the internet. This makes for a reliability issue for any program that has multiple steps and time passage between steps because ANY interruption of the internet causes that program to fail … so then our distiller doesn’t shut off until it is out of water and we have water all over the counter and crud on the bottom of the distiller that is not as easily cleaned out. It would be nice if when a program is initiated, that all steps are internalized in the Show and made local so programs … once started … never fail to complete. As a matter of fact, it would be nice if there wasn’t such a total reliance on the internet. As it stands right now, if you have an internet outage, you have NO local capability with the Show and it simply turns into a rock.We have also noticed that the voice recognition is not as good as it is with Siri … and what is odd is it seems to have gotten worse with the newer version. Since our Show device is a kitchen appliance … it gets used as a timer frequently. At least it used to be used for that. Now it doesn’t seem to respond to the attention (i.e. Alexa) command from across the room the way it used to and so we have gotten to where we use Siri more for that … but that means the iPhone needs to be sitting on the counter instead of a pocket.The third item I guess you could say is bleeding edge for Matter. I have noticed the most recent version of Apple Home has a feature where you can select what the primary Matter Hub so I believe Apple has implemented the Matter Admin features. I don’t see anything like that with the Show. In addition, I believe this feature, once properly implemented, will mean that once you set a Matter device, it will be available on all Matter platforms in your home. I believe the other issue is that Amazon is going to have to step away from the total dependence on the cloud because the ability to control a Thread based device with a Matter hub is supposed to all be local.Anyway, these issues really do need resolution in my mind so that’s why I’m giving it the rating I have for now. Some of this may be able to be resolved with firmware … but the local capability might require some additional changes to the hardware as well so for now I’m not going to hold my breath.

    Could be great, but has some really annoying issues

    We had a first generation Echo Show in our kitchen which died recently so I ordered this as a replacement, not realizing how small it is. It’s about the size of a standard alarm clock, which is too small for our kitchen. Rather than returning it, though, I decided to keep it for the bedside table, which appears to be what it was made for. I then ordered an Echo Show 8 for the kitchen, which is a much better size for there.Anyway, having this on the nightstand is nice, because not only does it function as a clock, but I can ask it about the weather, the news, etc. in the morning. The bluetooth speaker has very good sound for its size. Overall, it’s a great purchase. Except…It’s got a couple of really annoying flaws that severely limit its usefulness. Ugh. Amazon, I really hope you’re listening here. At least the first of these should be fixable with a simple software update. The second, I’m not as sure if it’s a software problem or a hardware issue, but I hope that it will at least be updated by the next model. While I’m probably not going to return this one, I can’t see myself buying another one of these (or recommending it to other people) until these issues get fixed.So, first problem… Using it as a bluetooth speaker. I like to play music from Apple Music on my iPad, and I was hoping to use this for that. Yes you *can* link your Apple Music account directly into the Echo Show, but that’s got a couple of flaws – first, you can’t browse, you have to tell Alexa what to play, and second, if you’ve got your own music that you’ve uploaded to Apple Music because it’s not in the main Apple Music library (or another app entirely), there is as far as I can tell no way to access it. So, using the Echo Show as a bluetooth speaker it is. Except…Once you pair your iPad with Alexa, it will very loudly announce that it’s connected. “Now connected to Matt’s iPad” it says very loudly. If I had it connected previously and I start using my iPad after leaving it sit for a while (say, I was listening the night before and I pick up my iPad in the morning to glance at the news), even if I’m not playing audio, it will make the same announcement again (which, totally unexpected like that, gives me a good jump scare). Disconnect the iPad and it makes a loud notification sound (for a while it was saying “Disconnected from Matt’s iPad” but I seem to have managed to at least turn that off… I’m not even sure how). It does the same if I connect and disconnect my phone.I don’t want this. It’s super annoying. I’ve tried every way that I can find to turn these bluetooth announcements off, and I can’t do it. I’ve searched the internet and found lots of other people complaining of the same issue, but Amazon hasn’t fixed it. Some of those have suggested turning off notifications as the solution, but I’ve tried that (even going as far as power cycling my Echo Show to make it reboot), and I *still* get the bluetooth announcements. They just won’t go away.So, first thing this needs before I’ll give it a good rating… Amazon, please do away with these bluetooth announcements, or at least make it possible for me to disable them. Honestly, I’d prefer not to have to completely disable notifications to do it (there’s no fine grain control over notifications, it’s either all on or all off, which is a problem itself), but if that’s how it has to be whatever. Just get rid of these unnecessary and annoying bluetooth announcements.Then, there’s what is actually a much bigger problem, but may require a hardware update to fix… The auto-dimming.So, in theory, I like and want the auto-dimming feature. I don’t want this to be at full brightness all night while the room is dark. In the dark it goes very dim, but that makes it readable in the dark without being annoying or a distraction from sleep. That’s good.Based on how this performs, though, I have to assume that the light sensor that controls the auto-dimming is on the front and very directionally focused. It doesn’t pick up on ambient light at all.So if I turn on the bedside lamp, which happens to be located behind the Echo Show 5 on my table? It doesn’t pick up on it, it still thinks the room is dark, and it keeps the display so dim that it’s totally unreadable in the lamp light. I use my bedside lamp a lot when I’m in the bedroom, so that is a HUGE problem. Even if I have both the overhead light and the bedside lamp on and the screen is bright, the moment I turn the overhead light off (but leave the bedside lamp on), it goes so dark as to be unreadable.But even when I’m using the overhead light… If I even happen to stand or sit so that I’m positioned between the overhead light and the Echo Show unit, it dims the display. Not nearly as dim as it goes in the dark room or with the bedside lamp, but still dim enough to make it significantly harder to read.So basically, I can only read the screen easily with the room brightly lit or totally dark, with light directly pointed at the unit or no light at all. Anywhere in between and it becomes unreadable. Of course I could “fix” this problem by turning auto-dimming off entirely, but then it would be brightly lit all through the night. Which I don’t want either. Right now the only setting for this is either on or off, no in-between, no adjusting the sensitivity, nothing.So Amazon, I don’t know if this means that you need more light sensors on the unit than you currently have (maybe one facing the back of the unit as well), or if it’s just a software tweak to make it more (or less? I don’t even know) sensitive, but SOMETHING needs to be done about this. A screen that I can’t read isn’t useful to me.Oh, and finally, this is more minor but what is up with the white power cord on my black/”charcoal” device? I didn’t buy a white Echo Show because I didn’t want a white Echo Show. The power cord should match the device. Way to cheap-out, Amazon.Fix these problems and I’ll feel much better about the Echo Show 5 and happily recommend it to others as a bedside device. With these issues, though, I’m sorry, but I can’t recommend it.

    Really cool

    All sorts of features to use. Some that I will never actually use but it has tons of possibilities. If I had one thing to change one thing it would be better use of Spotify and Apple Music users. It’s really annoying to make sure it plays my music from Spotify in my alarms and in general.

    Good, Not the Best

    It’s everything great about an Echo product. The only real downsides are that it’s a really small screen once you have it in person and it’s NOT able to be used as a subwoofer for a set of Echoes despite the Alexa app saying otherwise.

    I love echo shows, you can see your delivery status, weather, sports, stocks, movies, games, have the words on the screen to sing along to songs. What you want. Ask echo to do it, and it’s not just audio but video too, for example say echo play funny videos. It plays funny videos. So cool

    Purchased through trade in program

    I have used the earlier version of this echo show. The version I had developed a flickering screen that was not fixable using the suggestions found online. So during Prime, I decided to get a replacement. Can’t believe the improvements in ease of installation and useability.

    Love Echo Show, the plug doesn’t fit well and is not snug so if you move the device the plug falls out. I’ve tried to plug and replug to no avail. Recommend reengineer it. My older Echo Show plug fits great.I got this to replace my bedside radio and Echo Dot, gives me a lot more room.I have to say I do love all my Echo Shows and Dots. Thank you

    Better Sound

    The sound on the 3rd gen echo has been improved. I have one on each room and other areas of the house to communicate with the family instead of yelling from one room to the other. Also to create whole house music streaming with Amazon music. My girls use their in a daily basis to interact with the house automation such as lights, HVAC, doors, cameras, etc.

    Like WOW

    I’ve had the echo dot for a bit now. And can’t complain about it. But decided to upgrade to the echo show and I was blown away with it. Got all the same features and plenty more to go along with it. The setting up with it was a little rough for me because I’m so used to the dot. But once getting past that I had it set up in no time. So yes! If anyone is asking is it well worth it? Yes!! It really is worth the money for this.

    I had a phone call within a few hours regarding my original review. The issue was taken care of within a few minutes. I am enjoying using this in my home. I can look up recipes, listen to music, and see who is at my door.Original post: I bought this so I could see who is at my door when they use my ring doorbell. The Echo doesn’t connect to my ring. I can’t even set it up to use as a camera in my house. Neither of these skills are available.

    I love these things…..

    I currently own 5. All the lights in my house are smart and the Echo makes it possible for me to monitor my pets and husband (he’s mobility challenged) when I’m away. It’s also great that if he needs me, he can simply tell Alexa and “she” will let me know. I also like the clock, the updates, the reminders, and I freaking LOVE the timers and alarms!

    Better than the Dot

    I have a few Alexa Dots around the house. This is much better, not because of the clock feature, but due to other reasons. Having a scrolling picture frame, watching help videos, the sound and clarity are all great features. I also like being able to use it to check on the house. It was easy to connect and although it defaults to giving you all kinds of pop-up information as it scolls through screen changes these are easily adjusted to what you want.I hope this is helpful

    I’m on the fence

    This wasn’t exactly what I thought it was, I should have done more research on it before purchasing. I do use it frequently, and it seems to work great for what it is designed to do. I can play music on it, I can view my cameras on it, and sometimes I like to just play with it to see what all it is capable of. I think it’s a great product for people that actually use this type of thing, just wasn’t exactly what I needed.

    My biggest disappointment is the CORD- I ordered the black unit & would’ve assumed a black cord would have come with it but they sent a WHITE cord! It’s for the bedroom so I didn’t bother to check to see if it was a mistake….Also I can’t seem to change the color of the clock numbers-at night they show up as RED- I find that harder to read than if it were White but can’t seem to change it?

    I’ve had the Echo Show 5 since gen 1. It’s a great clock for your nightstand that does more than tell time and provide a morning wake up call. From the weather to morning news briefs to a smart assistant. What more could you ask for in a clock? Look no further for the best bedside clock.

    Wait until they fix the software bug in the OS

    I would wait until Amazon fixes the bugs that appeared in the Echo 5 Show after they dropped the Fire OS to Vega OS (OS 1.1). Many customers have complained since then (November 2023) and it took until May 10 for them to finally recognize the issue with the software. Searching the internet will tell you what all the issues are. If people stop buying for now, Amazon might take this more seriously.Having said that, it is a good addition for the smart home, less intrusive than the larger units, and looks good by your bedside.
