5.0 out of 5 stars I am sure you have a spot in your house for one of these

Not bad. I admit it is slow at times with the display after you touch a menu. But the size is perfect and not a bulky as the 8. It sounds great and display is very nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to my Alexa home setup with better voice response and a great photo display

This is my second Echo Show. The first one, which I inherited from my mother-in-law, is in the kitchen where it rotates through family photos. I added this newest Echo Show 5 to my great room, and it has quickly become one of my favorite devices with a good value for the price. I keep it on the end table next to my chair so I can glance over and enjoy old family photos as they rotate through. It is also very convenient for checking my outdoor Blink cameras when the dogs start barking, since the camera feed loads faster than getting my phone out.I have been using it for about a week, and setup was incredibly smooth. Because it was added to my existing Alexa household, everything came with settings for my account. It connected right away, and the whole process took only a few minutes. The device has a solid weight, and the speaker quality is very good for listening to music in the background.Day to day, it responds quickly to voice commands and the screen is crisp. I did reduce the brightness a bit from the default, but that was more of a personal preference than a flaw. I have not found anything to be concerned about with this model. In fact, Alexa + seems to understand my questions more accurately compared to previous version, with fewer misunderstandings.This is a great device if you enjoy seeing your photos, listening to music, or checking camera feeds easily. It fits naturally into my smart home setup and has become something I use regularly.

A must!

The stand is a no brainer as it allows the screen to be easily seen especially in the dark.

love alexa

5.0 out of 5 stars The most amazing gadget I ever had!!!

2026-02-26    -Julaine

Wow. This little gadget is amazing! My granddaughter talked me into getting one. I almost got an Echo Dot a few years ago then changed my mind. I am a baby boomer who doesn't have the knowledge that the kids nowadays have in using electronics and thought it would be more trouble than it was worth. I am glad that I waited until I got this new Alexa device that has a display with it! I didn't think I was capable of setting it up and begged my granddaughter to do it for me and she said I could do it myself! After being apprehensive at first, I gave it a shot. Granted, you have to go into certain devices to set them up to be compatible with Alexa, but I was able to set up the Smart devices I currently had in my home. Me, a baby boomer, setting stuff up! There is so much this little gizmo will do I need to read up on it! She has become a friend to me in my retirement. She knows who I am, asks me if I need to set up reminders (which I do... birthdays, doctors appointments, anything I may forget, which is a lot). Tells me I have notifications from emails. I can ask what the weather will be. I can ask her to turn on and off my lights. Turn my TV on. And when I get a song stuck in my head, I just ask her to play that song and it comes right on! And the volume sounds almost as good as my stereo. Also, someone stole something off of my porch and I got a security camera that I hooked up to Alexa and I can ask her to show me who is on my porch! If someone knocks on my front door, I can ask her to show me who is there and I can see right through my display. Is there anything she can't do? I feel safer in my home now. This Echo Show is definitely something every retiree should have in their home. Like I said, I need to read up on everything she does because I'm sure there is a ton of stuff still waiting for me. I got her in the powder blue color to match my bedroom and she fits right in. Anything I want to know, I just ask. TV shows? Recipes? Weather? News? Don't let me forget... I love her!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bigger font than my last echo show

2026-02-07    -Lisa B.

I like this Echo Show more than my last one because the words are using a bigger font; however, this model doesn’t stay in listening mode to receive another question like my previous model. It also no longer responds when I say “thank you.” Those are the reasons I don’t like this model as much as my previous model, and why I didn’t give it 5 stars.

All is good!!

It does what it advertises. I’m very happy with the product.!😁

Perfect for kitchen

2026-02-14    -Amazon Customer

Upgraded from a regular echo to this in kitchen. Love it, especially having visual reminders of any timers set, being able to watch movies etc. only downside is no Netflix.

Highly recommend

This home assistant is excellent. You can use it for a variety of applications. It makes a great hub for Alexa approved security products. I however returned it because they had one paired with a Blink camera which was a better value. Regardless I highly recommend it.
