Who’s here because of the amazon cyber Monday discount for the echo show 5. $49 easy please
Title should be amazon echo vs Google
Regarding the audio… uh… what? The Echo sounded better in both types of music. The Nest Hub is *tinny* and flat in both cases.
My wife and I just got the Show 5 for Christmas and I’m about to set it up. BTW, that "Jawbanger" RAWKS, thanks!
QVC is selling two for 99
Sorry, didn’t see in the title of this video that it was going to be a comparison video. This guy is speaking more about the nest but dont think its a fair match, just cos theyre both small, the echo isnt supposed to be used for content consumption, ud just use your phone which prob has a larger display and more portable, the closet match would be the lenovo smart clock.
Will there ever be a picture in Picture so it do not interupe what you are watching on the Cube
Total j BS
It’s just me that feels that the Echo is way much better sound-wise? It sounds like a dedicated speaker whereas the Nest Hub sounds tinny.
I liked everything about your review. Thanks.
Not appealing too me as it does not work with Nest devices.
Which is better , amazon echo dot with fire stick or echo show
I got the ring doorbell pro for $179 plus Chime pro AND AMAZON ECHO 5 “free “!!!
I’m looking to replace a old bedroom alarm clock.. Problem is that I like to be woke to ALL NEWS AM RADIO STATION… None of these will wake me to a radio station… I must talk to it? Or am I wrong? TY in advance, Joe
You put strange emphasis on words. This sounded like a narration by William Shatner over a bowl of cereal.
Not a fan of it. Meh.
I have a iPad iPhone and laptop and my husband bought me this echo show 5 as a gift and I can’t even begin to tell anyone how useless this thing is to me 😂 I already have at my fingertips everything this echo show 5 does. Now I have to deal with this thing so I don’t hurt my husbands feelings! It’s really just a fancy alarm clock to me. Geeeeeeez🙄

Echo show 5 can stream YouTube
Over priced. I would wait til its $50.
I got it for $45 buckies free amistad
Swiping left from the right*
Does anyone know if you ask it how to spell something, it shows it on screen or just speaks the spelling to you? thanks!
89 dollar alarm clock alarm but I love it
Poor mans smartphone, rich mans clock.
Just bought a ring 2 and got amazon show 5 for 10 bucks from best buy total for both after tax 85 bucks!
I got it for $50 per black Friday deals 🙂
Thanksgiving 2019 – This is going on sale November 28th for $50 on Amazon. You can also get 2 for $100 @QVC but only in white.
Watching on echo show 5
Yeah, I’m here because I bought this for $49 AND an echo DOT for $22 AND a Fire 7" Tablet for $29 AND a $49 & a $69 Instant Pot, all with vitually no user manuals. I haven’t a clue how to use anything but the Tablet, which is totally unbelievable when compared to what my 3 NOW BROKEN $100+ Kindle e-Readers would do. I don’t know if I buy the $2.99 John Edwards SHOW user e-manual if I would neet to get the DOT e-manual. Is the operation much the same?
The Echo show 5 is defective
Can this device play you tube videos with voice command? Or only by physically searching for all videos continuously (does it have the YouTube app on it)? —as I watch many YouTube videos lol.
Also, the amazon may have been quieter, which it didn’t seem so to me. But amazons quality seemed like the sound quality was definitely better.
NICE
$59 CDN on Amazon right now. Tempted.
is not Worth it for not even for $70.00
I had mine originally in my family room and then took it to the bedroom. It’s definitely great for alarms, controlling devices, music, reminders and other activities before bed or waking up. I don’t have a ring or wyze cam but that’s my next step. For bedside great. For my everyday use 24/7 not so much.
49 dollar Echo show or less if you buy during amazon sale vs 99 dollar google nest hub and the echo show does have auto darkening for dark rooms. bought the echo show on black Friday for $10 with the Ring door bell at $129
My simple questions.. Is this loud enough ?? is this good replacement to regular old alarm clock ? Also, which device is better overall as ALARM CLOCK, Show 5 or Lenovo smart clock ??
Why is it so big? Feels like it’s going back in time.
That wallpaper you have is your boyfriend 😆?
Just got one of these as part of a Ring doorbell 2 bundle on Amazon, both the ring and show 5 for $139! It’s a pretty nifty little bed side clock.
Can I take it to my car and connect to the phone’s mobile LTE?
Stop complaining and rip out ur modems and go look at someone face to face. Geezus.
We got it for free when we bought the Ring Doorbell Pro at Best Buy on BLack Friday, good deal.
I bought 2 for 90 on Qvc. So far we love them. Mines in the bedroom. Hubby’s out in living-room.
Nothing a smart phone cant do. Cant see the point in it. Smart phones rarely leave their owners sides.
People will buy a Show for Christmas then forget all about it
the nest hub is great because it wasn’t made by google. google bought nest.
$64.99 now on Amazon (2/1/2020)
