There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I still prefer my Echo Spot as my bedside alarm clock, but this works perfectly on my desk and in the kitchen. The screen is pretty small, and I suspect that the new Show 8, with its better sound and bigger screen, will prove to be more popular in the long run.
Update 9/19/19
Reading some of the other reviews on the 5, I don't think that a lot of people understand how Echos/Alexa work. They seem to think that the 5 is just a high tech stand a!one alarm clock, which it isnt.
One review said that the weather function was inadequate. If that's the case, just enable another one. There are too many for me to count.
another said that they returned theirs, and were going to wait for an upgraded version. Alexa is the same on a every device, and is being continual!y updated.
One review said the the 5 doesn't have YouTube. It does. It's kind of a kludge, but it works.
A lot of reviewers gripe about the ads. I don't even notice them. My wife likes the suggestions, and often responds to them. Amazon sells stuff. If you don't want to see the ads, just don't look at them.
A.m.s co.plain about the video capabilities. They are fine, although I can't get Hulu to run on it either (works fine on my gen1). TBH, I prefer to watch them on side screen tv. Or my Fire 10 tablet. But I had watched videos on it, and the interface is fine once you get used to it. But watching a whole movie on a 5 inch screen isn't really ideal.
I have decided that the sound is better than it is on the Spot. Maybe a bit better than my 3 gen Dot, but not by much. The Cot actually sounds pretty good. The regular Echos and my 1gen Show both sound better, but all of them are enjoyable to listen to.
I still think the Spot is a better alarm clock. The 5 is great for the kitchen, and the Show is in the !living room. That works out well for us. I am retired, but I would have loved to have a 5 on my desk in my office! When I want a spelling, or a definition, or a sum, or to put an event on a calendar, or a news update, or need to know it's one of my staff's birthday, all I would have to do is ask. IMHO, that would be wh ere the 5 would shine.
Update 8/14/19
The Show 5 is still working just fine. My Spot has returned to my bed stand, though, as the Show 5 takes up a bit too much room. Its not that the 5 is really all that big. Itv is about the same size as a 1990's era clock radio, but my bed stand is rather small. And I like the clock faces on my Spot better. Several YouTube reviews state that the Spot has been rendered redundant by the Show 5. I disagree. Each fits a unique niche. But I agree that the Spot should not cost so much. The Show 5 is a much better value at the current pricing.
Prior to buying this, I already owned a Echo Show and an Echo Spot, as well as a regular Echo and several Echo Dots, so I think it is fair to say that I am familiar with Echo devices and Alexa. My review of the Echo Show 5 will be comparing it to those other devices.
The Echo 5 has a fairly small screen, which is about the size of a large smart phone. The resolution is fairly low according to the specs, but that is not readily apparent when viewing in. I can watch the Echo Show screen across the room. With the Echo Spot I have to be quite close to watch it (yes, I watch videos on the Spot. The screen is tiny but it is fine if you have it on your night stand). The Show 5 is somewhere in between. You can see it easily across your desk. It is great on a kitchen counter. It is NOT a small room TV replacement, like the regular Show could be.
The sound on the Show 5 is about the same as the Echo Spot. Much better than the gen2 Dot, about on par with the gen3 Dot, but not as good as the regular Echo or the fill size Show.
Alexa on the Show 5 is exactly the same as on the regular Echo Show, which is not surprising, as Alexa is in the Cloud, not on your device. It seems to me that the Echo 5 has a somewhat slower response time, but that is REALLY hard to tell. As the devices are cloud based, the response time might well have more to do with the Wi-Fi connection at a certain location in your house than the device itself! Regardless, response times on all of the devices are acceptable on my DSL service. BTW, the Spot does not have the same functionality as the others. It has no browser, so no YouTube.
As far as value goes, the Show 5 is by far the best value. It does everything the larger Show can do, for half the money. If you bought it for $50 on Prime day, as I did, its a steal.
So is it for you? That depends. If you want a large screen and great sound for your living room or den, then get the full size Show.
If you want a bed stand clock, the Spot takes up less room, and I think that its perfect for that role. I REALLY like my Spot! If the Spot and the Show 5 were the same price, I would recommend the Spot. But at a significantly higher price? I am afraid that, without a sizable cut in price, the days of the Spot are numbered!
But if you want just one Echo show device, or if you are just entering the Echo community, the Echo Show 5 is by far the best choice.
1st: the only difference between the Echo Show 5 and 8 are simply the screen size (and price)
As shown in pictures, I use this in my living room on my end table. I find it extremely helpful and just straight up awesome! The prompts that show up on the screen are tailored to my likings along with what's important news that I should know about and much more!
2nd: the screen itself is customizable. You can have your own pictures show or you can choose from multiple other options via the Alexa app.
3rd: the speaker itself built into the Echo Show 5 is worth the price alone! The speaker can, also, be adjusted through the Alexa app as well. Bass, Mid-Ranges and Treble can all be adjusted to your specific likings. At maximum volume, this speaker handles as well as most high end speakers. No distortion at all.
*Also, while playing music, (with most songs) the lyrics will be displayed on screen! That said, I highly recommend Amazon Music Unlimited for access to ALL music of every genre of every year!
4th: the "Skills" available are literally limitless! Odds are whatever you're looking for, it's available! Be it games, news, Daily News Flash (great Feature) weather and well, the list would go on forever and with a screen (as opposed to the "Dot") you'll get an interactive touch screen option which is very simple to use!
5th: Video calling is flawless! Picture is perfect for "Show to Show" calling and if you connect it to your phone; making calls is easy as saying "Alexa.. Call Mom" calls are crystal clear. Same as using your actual phone!
*Also, Camera on Echo Show is easily turned on or off simply by sliding button on top!
6th: Shopping on Amazon is very easy, especially with the touch screen interface! Simply ask for a product and scroll through just like you would, basically, on any other device. You can either add to cart, purchase right from the screen or just say, for example, "Alexa.. Order 100 count tea lights" it's all that simple!
Lastly: I'm leaving alot out. The more you use it, the more things you'll discover. The price is beyond fair for what you get. You really can't go wrong with the Echo Show 5 (or any other Echo device)
