Best organizer, keeping appts,. etc., Like Alexa - very knowledgable!
It is outstanding! I got it as a birthday present from my brother. The sound has great quality. It's so easy to use and so helpful! I use it all the time. Great for waking up and keeping you organized and on time. The alarm is just awesome! You can wake up to just about anything you want. The sound is great for something so small. Keeps you on track! It lasted just about 7 years with heavy use which is fantastic! I just replaced it with a new one as could not live with out it!Great for reminders, getting weather forecasts, news , to do lists or reminders.

Beautiful Baby with Fantastic Accessibility Features!
I swear I already wrote a review with photos and a video, but here we are! I LOVE This little beast. I have Echo Dots in my bedroom, bathroom, and guest room, but I needed access to my Smart Home features from my desk. I am disabled and my mornings are very rough. I wanted a screen to occasionally watch videos or see a better display of the weather. Listed are some accessibility features that I love. I have FND, Functional Neurological Disorder, which involves some speech processing and speaking delay. Only occasionally, but enough that I need accommodations to function better. These features make this little echo an excellent companion to any disabled or elderly human you know. We need any and all strategies to function in a culture that sees disability as a personal failure. I am loving it so far! The screen is clear, vibrant, and responsive. I can dim it quickly (I have severe neurological photophobia) and it responds well to my voice. I have no complaints and have been using it for over 2 months. Waited until it went on sale for about $68.live captionsreduced speaking ratetap screen to interactadaptive listening - life changing!!more time to respond

Great purchase - value for money
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.

It's a decent product. It's growing on me. :)
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.oI 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. lolPlease 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 2025I'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. :DIt'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).
