The short answer is this is a very good device, and I would recommend it. So why 4 stars? Well, I am basing this on the 1st GEN of the Show 5 and just Alexia issues in general. I will list the cons first and then get to the positive. The 1st GEN and 2nd GEN are basically the same almost no difference from what I understand.- My overall biggest issue and this is all Alexia devices, she just does not listen. Basically she is temperamental! She thinks you say something other than what you said or just makes suggestions for no reason. When you ask her to stop it is not fast at all. AMAZON FIX THIS!!!!!!! This is sort of like a partner or friend that is upset and will not stop talking. Yes, you know what I am talking about….lol- The software OR firmware needs to be updated or improved. Amazon absolutely needs to have a enable or disable all for all the screen options. For example, most people turn off nearly all the options in the Home and Clock area; there are a ton, and you need to do one-by-one.- When making changes, there is a delay. Took nearly 3 or 4 min for the clock interface to change. Should be immediate and then if I don’t like to allow me to go back. Instead, I make a change and I thought was broken because nothing happens; tried 5 times After a few min it finally switched.- Improved, however, there is still a big delay the touch screen.- Amazon really needs give you the options to have her stop telling asking you if you want to buy amazon music if you ask to listen to a particular artist. It will play it but first tells asks if you want to buy music for X $ a month.THE POSITIVES:+ The Sound is greatly improved except for her voice itself. If listening to music, you 100% do get better sound from the previous version. Main reason I got it.+ The screen size is the same, but the body is a smaller footprint.+ It is no longer rectangular, but more of a curved design so just looks nicer.+ As I mentioned earlier, the touch screen is better but still not great. However, it is a little faster and not worse so I guess a win.Overall it boils down to this….. if you have a 1st or 2nd gen and you are happy with the audio then skip it not necessary. However, if you want better sound for music then I say it’s worth it. If you do not have any Show device the 5 is a nice choice especially if using on a nightstand.

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.

This Echo is pretty cool. I was thrilled to see it on sale and couldn’t resist the urge to snatch one up. Upon receiving it, I plugged it in and started the set-up process. Unfortunately, I had to do a ten-minute update before I could get started, but once that was done, it was all set up and ready to go.Prior to shipping my device, Amazon asked if I wanted to set it up in advance, which I happily agreed to. However, I didn’t have Amazon photos, so I had to set that up and download all my pictures, which took quite a while due to the vast number of pictures I had on my phone.One of my favorite things about this device is that it shuffles my pictures all day long, keeping them fresh in my mind. It does everything my Alexa does and more. I’m especially impressed that I can drop in and see a live feed, which is a great feature. I’m even planning to purchase a doorbell camera and outdoor cameras, and I love that I’ll be able to view them on my device. Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new smart device.

I like the style of the product n the screen display is awesome. However although not a rating breaker, better instructions needed. Example: when I set the device on it totally knock out all my Ring Camera’s n front door n Chime-pro which took me sometime to reconnect. I think better instructions will help n better collaborations instructions so it doesn’t totally knock out other Ring devices. It was almost like it too over every device that was functioning to non functioning! Instructions should integrate with other Amazon devices smoothly! Other than that big blurr it all works fine except for my chime pro still not right!

I purchased the original Echo Show 5, and like it a LOT as a bedroom clock. Until, that is, the screen started “glitching” after an Amazon software update. Of course, by the time Amazon managed to wreck the Echo Show 5 Gen 1 it was WAY out of warranty, so I literally had no way to get Amazon to fix their mistakes. To their credit, Amazon was offering pretty reasonable rebates for trade-ins, and I took advantage of the $20 rebate for the Echo Show 5 and the $30 rebate for the Echo Dot (with video screen) to mostly pay for the new Echo Show 5 3rd Gen. This newer offering for the Echo Show 5 has a smaller footprint with a much better sound, and (so far) no screen glitching. Sadly, though, the stand (which I paid extra for) for the Gen 1 Echo Show 5 doesn’t fit the Echo Show 5 3rd Gen, so I’ll be forced to pay extra for that. Shame on you, Amazon! While I totally get that hardware/software improvements are inevitable, you need to do a better job of compensating those who went all-in to purchase the add-ins for your devices that are now simply junk.So….yeah – the Echo Show 5 Gen 3 works superbly. Just as the Echo Show 5 Gen 1 did, until Amazon wrecked it beyond redemption with their updates that no one knows are coming, and no one can refuse. Be assured your purchase of the Echo Show 5 Gen 3 will work up to and beyond your expectations, until Amazon decides they want you to purchase their NEXT device version, and they trash this device to incent you to buy the next version.I’ve been a software developer most of my professional life. I well know the pain of the user base when they learn that software updates are going to leave them behind, and their often justified outrage that their significant monetary outlays (and c’mon – when it’s YOUR money it’s a significant outlay, right?) have just gone into the dumpster. As a professional developer with a large customer base, I made it my JOB to know my customers, and inform and prepare my customers what was coming down the pike that would impact them, and EARNESTLY work with them to ease a substantial hardware update. I’m not kidding nor am I “making this up” – when you’re upfront with the customer, and tell them truthfully that industry changes are forcing you down a path that might leave them behind, and you offer viable options for the customer to make their OWN decisions, then you have done a real service to the customer.Amazon doesn’t follow this model. They literally don’t care a whit for how these changes impact their customer base. To Amazon, apparently, it’s as easy as “you either pay money to upgrade to our latest device or not. We literally don’t care what negative impact our latest choices have on you, little Amazon Echo subscriber. Either pay up to be on board, or be left behind with the dregs.”Yah. Amazon IS the consummate “Eff You, paltry customer” when it comes to their Echo devices. This is a FAR cry from when Amazon was nothing more than a book seller. Now they feel confident in screwing hundreds of thousands of customers with their short-sighted hardware failures, and forcing their customers to foot the bill for their shortsighted business failures.Absolutely certain the ‘Zon censors will be messaging me, with an eye to suppressing this post. Think I know how to tell them to eff off, but we’ll see.

In the pics, 1st Gen is on the left, with a black cord, and 3rd Gen is on the right with a white cord. I was not planning to replacement the device as they are rather expensive. However, it went on sale and I got a trade in that brought the final price down to 20 bucks. The reason I went with that deal is this particular Gen 1 was not as responsive to voice as I expect it to be. I had to repeat myself often, particularly when there is ambient noise. I don’t know if it’s the Gen 1 in general, or just this unit. Never the less, there it is. The Gen 3 is MUCH better at responding. I can even turn on my 3d printer exhaust fan, face 90°, and the new Echo will respond immediately. It fixed my one and only problem with the Gen 1 I had. The units are close in dimensions. I did have to shove the old unit into the new unit’s box to send it back. Width was almost the same, but height made it harder to close the box. By itself on my desk, I don’t notice a difference. The screen is very slightly larger than the old unit. The new unit does not have an audio jack, or microUSB port on the back, only power. Setting up the Gen 3, it told me I can use the camera to automatically execute routines when a person is in view which I was not aware of as being an option on the Gen 1. Sound is better on Gen 3. I adjusted the equalizer a bit, and it is acceptable. It was not great out of the box, but when turned up the bass a bit and bumped the treble down it improved. The buttons are further back on the Gen 3, but easy to feel which one you are on by their raised design. The one button neither has that I would have liked is the button on the Dot that activates the unit without saying the wake work. The thing is arms length away. I don’t need to always say the wake word.Is it worth the upgrade? That depends on if your Gen 1 has the same responsiveness issues mine had, or another issue. Otherwise, not really. The Gen 1 worked fine for the years that I had it other than having to repeat myself sometimes. If it had been more responsive, I would not have bothered to replace it.

EVERY time I ask my show to play something I get a commercial for CNN from tune in. EVERY time! Worse yet when I try to stop it, it won’t stop! I have to unplug it. I paid for this dam# thing so why am I bombarded with commercials for tune in?UPDATE: an Amazon rep called me and walked me through all the settings. Works great now. I love all my echo dots and my 4 echo shows. Not to mention my 6 Kindles. My life is so much simpler and frankly, more fun with all these devices.

I wanted the Echo Show 5 Generation 3 mainly for my Ring Video Doorbell wired that I recently installed. Love to view video doorbell live you say ‘Alexa show Front Door’ and it opens up to live view. Then ‘ALEXA stop’ to stop live view. It clearly announces when motion it detected or when someone rings the door if my cell phone is not nearby. I do have the Ring chime but the additional verbal is nice from the ECHO show. Screen is large enough for me to live view the video doorbell.I even tried the ‘ALEXA tell me a funny joke, with my back turned and 10 feet away and it heard me clear enough to tell me a joke. I love it.This is my first ALEXA/Echo product and happen to finally purchase it several weeks ago with their promotion $39.99 at the time. Too bad this promo was for only 1 product. Would like to get one for bedroom if on sale again but can use my Ring app on my cell or tablet for now.Initial setup I was getting continuous advertisements or info but was able to stop that by going into settings. Several YouTube videos were very helpful on initial setup and more how to like the live view of the doorbell and disabling the Sidewalk option. Great product so far.
