I already had one of these units but Amazon had them on sale so I decided to buy another one for my kitchen. The picture quality is excellent and the sound is amazing considering its compact size. I’d recommend buying the stand for the unit as it really gives it an even better look. The one in my bedroom I use as an alarm clock. You can set it to wake up to your favourite music artist. It connects to the internet flawlessly. I use it to get the latest sports highlights and news. I really like using the voice command feature. Alexa can answer a wide variety of questions. I will use this one in my kitchen to find recipes, to listen to music while I cook and to compile my weekly shopping list. I also use it to turn on and off a variety of lights and power switches in my home You also can get a huge variety of add on smart home devices. As I said I liked my first one so much I bought a second. You won’t be disappointed and will like I did, wonder why you hadn’t bought one sooner. I don’t know what other recommendation I could give it.

I wanted to echo device for living room. It came on time. The device functionality was amazing and sound quality too. Bieber screen size pushed me to return this and upgrade to bigger sized echo show.

Great sound. Compact and nice look. Works exactly as expected. The only downside is setting the alarm to play my music. I can only set it to play an alarm tone, which is pleasant enough, but I’d prefer to wake up to music. Note: Problem fixed by creating a routine.
Amazon Customer –
Love it.. The speaker is very nice. Responds well to commands.

Whatever is near useless to me works well, lots of bloatware but I knew this before buying.Problem is the 3 things I need it to do it doesn’t do well.1) display frontdoor camera when motion at camera detected (with a doorbell press- it does display on echo show) however with motion detected it only gives an audio alert. The work around of a routine to do this does not work. Display doesn’t wake from monitor off mode. It does work with spoken command though- so this is very strange.2) photos wallpaper- took forever to set up properly (and I’m fairly tech savy), only 10photos possible, also device prefers energy save modes so it stops displaying photos regularly. Device was not designed as a photo album viewer priority.3) show all cameras- with a spoken command it works, if you want a screen to monitor all cameras this device nor any I’m aware of will do that for ring. Camera display also time out after 10mins.Music on echo show 5 sucks, there’s barely any mid range, bass is boomy and exaggerated, treble is non existent (adjusting treble on tone controls makes no difference because the speaker can’t reporduce this range). Oh and echo show 5 speaker is MONO, there’s only 1 speaker.Echo show 8 sound quality is tons better and is stereo. Other functions 5 and 8 are same- with the abundance of poor user interface and issues.I have all “contents” except weather turned off. Note: do not use weather widget if your “weather” in “home contents” are turned on as this is redundant, oversight?Alexa commands are fairly reliable even when whispering so this is impressive. Music is free (as I have Prime) so this is convenient but not the reason for purchasing these units.Touchscreen is fairly responsive but nothing like a modern phone, maybe an mediocre android phone from 5yrs ago.Even though I purchased both units on sale I feel it’s still not worth the cost as there’s too many issues. I may return both units and hope they get refinements in future (and not more ads like Amazon attempted to do with 2023 Echo Show 8 (that’s not available in Canada).This product was designed with greed in mind, doesn’t benefit the consumer much. If you like to make more purchased through amazon using Alexa, or watch TV or play games it’s just fine. I can’t only really see myself using these if I were sick in bed (no tv in bedroom) and wanted a larger screen (vs echo show 8) than my iphone, I wouldn’t watch a movie using the show 5 as my phone has a better display.

Arrived timely and nicely packed. My son as excited about this purchase. I am glad I got this particular one and the screen display is great.

Hi, the power connection is not working well. It is loose to the Echo Show which makes the device turns off with slightest movement. I wonder if I can get a replacement for the connection cord.I just need a connection cord replacement but the process is painful and wanting me to return the product instead, I guess I’ll just do that.
