Mr. Review –
I don’t know why I waited so long to get an Alexa. I love this thing. I have set up schedules to play music in the morning, I do wish I could figure out how to get it to play music on it self & another speaker at the same time.
I love that I can “call it” & have a FaceTime with the kids while I am not home & honestly stopped burning food now that I just ask for alarms instead of thinking I will remember to take the food out of the oven

I love my new Echo show Alexa smart AI speaker. Setting up teaching her new routines she’s a fast learner. I got Amazon Music to have access to over a million songs. All my music genres sound great with her. She starts my morning off right with alarm day time forecast and news update then 30 minutes of music while I get ready to face the day. Plus she turns on the bedroom light. Got her on sale and traded in my echo dot received an Amazon gift card.

Upgraded from a regular echo to this in kitchen. Love it, especially having visual reminders of any timers set, being able to watch movies etc. only downside is no Netflix.

Absolutely love the Echo Show 5! I use it as bedside clock and smart assistant in room but It’s the perfect size for a nightstand, kitchen counter, or office desk—compact but packed with features. The screen is super crisp and responsive, making it easy to check the weather, watch videos, view security camera feeds, or even make video calls.
Alexa works flawlessly as always, and the sound quality is surprisingly rich for such a small device. The integration with smart home devices is seamless—I can control lights, check the doorbell cam, and play music all with simple voice commands.
Also worth mentioning: the packaging was sleek and had a premium feel, which made the unboxing experience that much better.
For anyone looking to add a smart assistant with a screen to their home setup, the Echo Show 5 is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

Initial Response for 1 May 2025:
I feel this is a lightweight version of what they can offer. I felt disappointed in limited local “skills” (not fond of what they call them, hard to remember the name for available widgets/apps/programs).
It seems as if this may be outdated soon? It has that feel to it. It was not as easy to set up as other digital things in my life are. It took a while. Not as modern as I had hoped.
It has a beautiful display.
The voice options are decent. I liked a few of them, though there weren’t many options.
I managed to launch “Wheel of Fortune” (skill/program/app), but I did not try it because I was showing my husband how good (and bad) it was working out for me.
The music sounded good, what music I was able to access for free. Limited there, too. It tried to sell me a subscription by offering a trial. I hope that didn’t go through. lol I said no.
Easy to close shutter. Slides right over. 🙂
Beautiful (already available) images in Photo Frame (Slide Show).
The cord is white. For the charcoal version, as stated by another reviewer, it stands out. I was prepared for that. O.o
I am still playing around with it. I just got it today. User Interface is definitely not my fave, but for this price, I feel I got what I paid for, and I am happy enough with that.
What this cannot do, my computer, iPhone, and iPad can do. I guess, combined, I have what I need. lol
Please read the other reviews and watch the prices, and versions released. I think both may matter. Technology can move fast sometimes.
I suppose it depends on what you want it for, if you will like it. I’m really, really picky. ^.^
So far, not bad. 4/5, 8/10.
Update: 3 May 2025
I’m learning it’s “language” a bit better. Still settings things up. It seems to “learn” your interests by asking if you want it to show more or less of something. That has helped a lot!
I can’t find a way to give it a custom name, but I did find where you can change the name, so I did. 😀
It’s growing on me. We’re getting along pretty well, though I still think the software could use an update/tune up, as well as the user interface (UI).

I absolutely love the Echo Show 5! The sound is clear, the screen is perfect for video calls, weather updates, and watching short videos. Alexa responds quickly and the design fits beautifully on my nightstand. It’s also great for setting reminders and alarms. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make their home smarter and more connected!

The stand is a no brainer as it allows the screen to be easily seen especially in the dark.

It does what it advertises. I’m very happy with the product.!😁

Small Screen, Big Upgrade — Twice the Bass, Double the Vibes 🔊📺💙
This Echo Show 5 (Cloud Blue) is small but mighty. Don’t let the size fool you — the sound is crisp, clear, and bass-heavy thanks to the upgraded speakers. Whether I’m jamming in the kitchen or catching headlines while brushing my teeth, this thing delivers.
The smart display is super responsive, and I love how it shows weather, reminders, calendar updates, camera feeds, and even TikTok recipes — all hands-free with Alexa. You can make video calls, stream music, watch the news, and control smart home devices, all in one stylish little package.
And let’s talk about the Cloud Blue color — it’s fresh, calming, and looks amazing on a nightstand or countertop. Also makes a great gift for someone who loves tech but wants a device that doesn’t take up a ton of space.
If you’re looking to upgrade your smart setup or add some convenience and style to your daily routine, the new Echo Show 5 is where it’s at.
