26-10-2025To be honest, this Echo Show 5 wasn’t what i expected it to be. If all you need is a bedside clock radio, get yourself the Echo Spot. If you need a voice controlled kitchen companion radio, get this Echo Show 5. If you are buying this echo show to be a multimedia consumption device, you will be crying all day, extremely frustrated by the laggy software, and the somewhat unresponsive touchscreen when the Mediatek processor within tries to process a lot of touch input. This is a great device for voice commands, and you seldom need another speaker to listen to the Echo Show 5. The machine can get loud, clarity of the single speaker is amazing for its size and has it has decent lows. This is why i say the Echo Show 5 makes great companion as a voice controlled kitchen radio. One thing to note however is that there is no way to reduce volume for Alexa’s voice. Software is meh…bearable at best. If you are looking for a media consumption device like watching movies, youtube etc, get yourself an iPad because an iPad is much better overall device than this thing. Amazon here have the idea… the implementation is the issue. For example, such a device as this Echo Show 5, with so much potential, why utilize a Mediatek processor similar to the one found in a kindle? The slow mediatek processor and horrible software reduce the potential of this device. If you are used to the convenient software that is android or iOS, this echo show 5 will frustrate you when you interact with it via its touchscreen. Lastly, YOUTUBE on this device isn’t a in-built app. You have to utilize Amazon’s painful silk browser to access the youtube website to interact with youtube.

26-10-2025Wow. 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!!!!

26-10-2025In all authenticity I've stayed away from all things Alexa since day one and never wanted it in my home. I'm a tech savvy nerd who saw/noticed that technology was going down the wrong fork in the road a few decades ago and began reversing things "in my control" at my end. I finally caved on Alexa, though skeptical, I enjoy my privacy and right to anonymity, which we little to none left of. True, no matter how many settings I shut off I know what Alexa, Siri and being online itself causes (any WIFI and Bluetooth connection), but I did cave and I'm enjoying these a great deal.Voice recognition is superb, they've obviously done a lot more with Alexa than Apple has done with poor Siri who barely functions anymore. Connection is amazing in my home, I bought 2, one upstairs, one downstairs, then paired them. Setup was super quick - though I don't love having to use the App, again I've reversed things "in my control" for quite a few years which includes no use of any apps other than staples (camera, photos, text, etc.), so I'm not thrilled that I need to use the App, but I use it briefly, do whatever I need to do on it and immediately close it.These little guys are wonderful, sound is fantastic, and that's with one speaker upstairs and one speaker downstairs, you can't even tell that it's setup that way - excellent sound! Volume is wonderful and I've really been enjoying it! I still have a way to go on learning the ins and outs, I find a setting, set it, then forget where I saw it/found it to adjust it, but I'm super new to anything Alexa and the Echo. As much as I love it and I do, I don't know if my direct through the wall home owner loves how loud I have one of my alarms set "KIMBA IT'S TIME TO TAKE A SHOWER - YOU NEED TO GO TO UPS" is set so loud with a repeat 3 times LOL. It cracks me up, but it's amazing!I bought the stands (sold separately) for each and I'm really happy I did. I think this Echo is worth every penny and I'm thrilled that I bought 2 of them - I love that when I run upstairs and downstairs I don't lose the songs I'm listening to. One thing I adore, once I figured it out, is the ability to shut off insights and all things I don't want to see or hear about - I just love the music, the alarms, lists, reminders and weather. It's hilarious, I keep saying (again very new) Hey Alexa, I mean Hey Siri, no I mean Alexa ... and then Siri/on my phone says something like I'm sorry but I think you're looking for a different service haha.Excellent product, excellent quality!
