Alexa Echo
Use every day. Responsive. Easy to use. Use for music. Alarm clock, reminders, and calendars. Can ask Alexa anything. Connects to the ring. Loud. Great size. Small enough. WiFi connects. Good picture.

Excellent Feature Set!
This is one of the most undervalued products I have ever owned. I use my Echo Show 5 primarily as a smart alarm clock. Being able to set my alarm by talking to it is so convenient, I also use it to control the bedroom lights and play m e some nice music to sleep to. One day when I was sick and didn’t want to get out of bed to retrieve a tablet, I was able to stream my Amazon Video Content on this device. Sure the screen is small, but laying on the bed watching it didn’t strain my eyes at all. The sound was awesome, Amazon having put better speakers in this new version (from my gen 1 which is now in the workshop). The adaptive lighting and screen color based on the ambient light in the room is perfect. The Alexa Skills allow me to play games with Alexa, and she keeps me supplied with dad jokes for work. You can customize the types of push alerts the Echo Show 5 gives you, which allows to you greatly reduce the number of ads you see. All in all, the value for the money is amazing, and you will continually find new uses for this excellent little item!

Fabulous!!
I am enjoying my echo show. I came with a smart bulb at a discounted price. Works well together. Time display is good. Speaker is loud and connects to my phone so i don’t have to be talking to a machine all the time. This was an upgrade from an echo dot. I love the screen size and everything.

The compact size makes it perfect for my desk, while the screen is crisp and clear, great for checking the weather, watching videos, or listening to music.Alexa responds quickly and accurately, and I love the convenience she/it provides. The sound quality is impressive for its size, delivering clear audio for music and calls. Plus, the built-in camera cover provides extra privacy, which is a nice touch.Overall, this is a fantastic smart display for anyone looking to add Alexa to their home in a stylish and space-saving way. Highly recommend!

Excellent Deal! I guess you get what you pay for
Honestly haven’t opened it yet. Been so busy. Hopefully my bad luck doesn’t get me! Excellent price. I’ve wanted one for a while too!!! Thanks to Cyber Monday I cannot believe the price I paid! Awesome, fast shipping even during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Let’s hope it works great 😊P L E A S E – – – READ MY EXPERIENCE UPDATE AFTER USING IT FOR 2 WKS. The disappointment started hours after plugging it in 2 Saturdays ago (Today is Dec 25th, 2023)**UPDATE DECEMBER 25TH, 2023**MAJOR disappointment.It needs every subscription under the sun to enjoy 99% of it fully. Even “Find my Phone” is a charge! My “Google Bot” does not charge me for that.It glitches a lot. In the 2 weeks it’s been plugged in I’ve had to hard boot it 3 times.AMAZON music sub or forget using it to play music you want. They support so many platforms… Not YouTube Red.I bought the blink system, no pun intended, the cameras echo through the ECHO. 4 camera on sale too and so disappointed.All games want you to pay for a service to use it fully.No tier service plans… Just 25 bucks for this, 4.99 for that, 19.99 for this.. Like make a tier system or something.It does not work friendly through the app or the ECHO itself. There is no way to have it on adaptive lighting and even wake it up and have the screen brighten a bit. Literally, no option for it. Like come on who can see that dark screen.. If you prompt it I should give off light.It’s not as friendly in its demeanor as “The Google Bot”. No personality. No swearing. I asked it about a serious local news situation that the country is aware of for Vegas since the 6th of Dec, it told me “Not sure what you’re asking for” my “Google Bot” gave me a 15 min break down of the first min of the horrible situation at my alma mater to the latest news. Sad.The technology using it to do video calls, garbage. My tech abilities are expert level so no it’s no my internet. My call with my mom and my husband both skipping, freezing. On their end and mine. Oh and forget adding all of your contacts.. That’s a charge too. Otherwise you get 10 contacts it saves on itself only.I’m so sad. I really was excited for this newer technology since I’ve had my “Google Bot” for six years.. It does more and knows more than this Echo.The charges are the absolute worst for me. Find my phone? Really? Give me a break.The speaker, not good over 50 to 60% ((60% is the highest you can go without it being tingy. I adjusted the mids, nothing changes… Even the little ask me the animal of the day if you want to keep going it does.. And shows you more animal sounds.
