  1. J Thomas –


    UPDATEI am so happy to report that my echo show five is now working after I receive a called from customer service and they told me to press the mute button as well as the minus volume down button for 30 seconds after doing that show five restarted and I was able to reprogram it again and it is currently working so I am very very happy for the reach out by customer service, and the follow up to make sure I was satisfied. Thank you Amazon for your attention to detail and quick response regarding what I needed to do.Thank you J**** for the call and your patience.I bought this item in July 2023 and as of October 2024 the product has stopped working. It is stuck on the Amazon screen and I have done everything possible to reboot. The echo show five and still to no avail so I am stuck with a very expensive nonworking item.

    I’ve been using the Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen, 2023 release) for a few weeks now, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The Echo Show 5 has always been a reliable smart display, but this latest version truly steps up the game, especially in terms of sound quality.**Sound Quality:**One of the standout features of this Echo Show is its upgraded sound system. With 2x the bass and clearer sound than its predecessors, the audio quality is surprisingly robust for such a compact device. Whether I’m listening to music, catching up on the news, or watching videos, the sound is rich and immersive. It’s perfect for smaller rooms, like the kitchen or bedroom, where you want good audio without the need for a larger speaker.**Display and Design:**The 5.5-inch screen is sharp and vibrant, making it great for watching short clips, checking the weather, or making video calls. The compact design fits easily on any shelf or counter, and the Charcoal color gives it a sleek, modern look that blends well with any decor. The screen’s adaptive brightness is a nice touch, adjusting automatically based on the room’s lighting.**Smart Features and Alexa Integration:**As expected from an Echo device, the Alexa integration is seamless. Voice commands are picked up easily, even from across the room, and the responses are quick and accurate. I use it to control my smart home devices, set reminders, and even follow along with recipes. The new smart display features also make it easier to see and control multiple smart home devices at once, which is a huge plus for someone like me who has a lot of them.**Privacy and Security:**Amazon has included a physical shutter for the camera, which provides peace of mind for those who are concerned about privacy. There’s also a mic/camera off button, which is easy to use and effectively disables both the microphone and camera.**Overall Performance:**The Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is a fantastic addition to any smart home setup. It offers a great balance of audio quality, smart features, and privacy controls. Whether you’re new to smart displays or looking to upgrade, this device is definitely worth considering. It’s small but mighty, and I find myself using it more than I expected for everything from checking my calendar to watching cooking videos.

    When I bought this for our new home, I wasn’t expecting the great quality and features that this echo has! The screen size is okay, just a little small for my liking but I’m not too picky. The audio is absolutely amazing. It has great base and very loud and clear. You can hear it from pretty far away. The echos features include, well… ALOT! The Home Screen shows the time, weather, your location, your customized pictures, Amazon jokes, recipes, etc! If you have an iPhone, think of Siri as Alexa but better! You can also control your Alexa from an app and watch the live feed camera from anywhere. This echo is small but very handy! I recommend getting one of these if you’re also looking to have a smart home! You can control your ring cameras, doorbells, flood light, etc from the Alexa as well.

    Update to below original review: Amazon tech support reached out to me to help fix this problem. So, I have increased from 2 stars to 4 stars. Still not 5 stars because there is a device problem somewhere. In addition, I believe the Echo Dot (no screen) is a better device – it “hears” better and has better sound. If you run into the Echo Show going into zombie mode (where it appears to be rebooting, powering off, and repeating a doom loop over and over), try the following:- Put it into factory default mode by holding Mute and Volume Down for 30 seconds until you see three dots appear on the screen. It should enter setup at this point and if it works after setting it up, good.- If you get through the setup process and parts of it repeat over and over, cycle power for one minute and try again. This second step was necessary for me but it works now.Thanks, Amazon support!Original review: It never did pick up voice commands a well as our other Alexa devices. Sound is so-so; the dot is far better. In less than a year, it recently failed. It tries to boot up, shuts off, and the cycle continues. Not what I was hoping for.

    I love Alexa! So useful. Specially now that I’ve connected with the light bulbs, TV, and am planning for other things as well. This is a little smaller than I was expecting, but works great. The display is useful for settings and news. Recommend!

    This is my favorite purchase I have made on Amazon in awhile! I love this unit and stand!Easily ask Alexa for recipe ideas, music, weather etc! The sound quality is much better than I expected it would be. It blends seamlessly into my kitchen design. Super easy to set up and use.

    I purchased this Echo Show to interface with a Blink Camera. I had never used an Alexa enabled device and have found it is much more useful and fun than I expected. This Echo Show sounds great when playing music and can provide a lot of information. Setup was a little more complicated than expected and had to spend about 30 minutes before I got the hang of it. Only down side of this Echo Show is that it does not have battery backup. Always has to be plugged in to work. Would buy again.

    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. But if you want MORE you have to pay for the service… For animal sounds….. Come on.The smooth transition of screen to screen in where it flips through news….. Sadly lagging and skipping.–IN CLOSING – – It’s nothing of what I expected in speed. It’s 6 feet from my modem…. It’s not my connection…for the skipping screens. Lagging stories on the news when you ask it what’s the story? Video calls… Useless. IT’S NOT even WORTH the sale price I got it for. Not even close.The abilities it has to run your whole house, garage doors, emergency help, smoke, CO, thermostat list us longer than I’ve ever seen. If I can’t even have me tell me what my local university updates are without it faking to even kno about it, who thinks I would roll the dice and pay all these subs and get more electronics to make the long list of things actually work.1 star for technology for 20230 stars for personality, voice choice0 stars for everything having a subscription montky cost.0 stars for ease of use0 stars for quality – freezing, skipping, lagging video play.0 for sound.0 for ease of app use with it0 for BLINK app to use with Alexa3 for looks, esthetic wise2 for functions like making the screen brighter on adaptive lighting when touching it or voice prompting it0 for cost of subs, extra gear.1 for all it can do but at the price of each monthly cost to have them. Too afraid to buy the extras and add a subscription to it too.4 stars for pre set up before even having it sent to me. Through email. Impressed, and that was the last time I was.0 for more free options for even things like voices of Alexa, diff prompt names for Alexa, are all words I’d use every day but Ziggy do I went with that and still certain words I say pick it up and listen.Overall average score for me (above stars) 2 stars all around.Sincerely – – – – -Disappointed in Prime/Amazon/Amazon’s Customer Service.***UPDATE: December 31, 2023***Glitches every day. I have to reboot it at least once a day. It gets stuck in broken half screen is black, loops. There is a glitch that happens every day after I do a routine in the afternoon and gets stuck doing this weird clock I don’t normally see.I’m calling Customer Service and getting a replacement. If that too is garbage, it’s being returned and I want a refund.

    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.

    Update: An amazon rep reached out. None of the troubleshooting instructions I used mentioned to hold the (-) down volume button, and the mute button together, WHILE the device is unplugged. Then plug it in WHILE holding those buttons still, until the display shows the three loading dots (…) This worked. Alexa is back. We enjoy listening to music in the kitchen while cooking and cleaning. It is also nice that the device connects to our Ring cameras, notify us when there’s motion, and displays the camera when requested. Very happy to have it back up and running. Grateful to the amazon representatives who reached out directly and helped fix the problem. Now I just need to figure out how to factory reset an unresponsive FireStick we have as well.Original post: Stopped working after a year. Tried all the troubleshoots. Nothing worked. It’s basically a brick.
