Don't buy it to use as a clock

Reviewed in Australia on 26 February 2020

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

No clock customization, basically useless as a clock compared to the Echo Show 5.

Do not buy this unless they update the clock and allow it to be made larger and with actual customization.

Perfect Kitchen Companion!

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2020

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

A very welcome addition to the Echo family for Australian users!

We love our kitchen companion Echo Show. We use it all the time for ordering from Amazon, playing music, checking the weather, looking up recipes and controlling our smart devices. We especially love the ability to have it constantly cycle through our family photos as a slideshow which is always bringing back great memories and a focal point for family to remember events.

Features we love:
- Ordering via Amazon is easy as, gives a few popular choices for products. Can buy or add to your cart for later.
- Playing music easy as just asking "Alexa play music" or asking for a previous station or playlist is easy.
- Easy to look up our favourite recipes and have on hand.
- Provides slider control for controlling smart devices like light bulbs.

Some improvements are needed though:
- You can add items to your cart, but then can't remove them in anyway I can find. There is no way to access via touch and asking Alexa "remove paper towel from cart" "clear cart" "delete from cart" all just gives "hmmm I don't know that".
- STILL no parental controls at all with Amazon Music via Echo devices. Not even explicit music filter. Your kid gets misheard and suddenly mature music or even video playing.

But comparing devices and coming from the original Show Gen 1 this is a great upgrade we are loving so far!

2 weeks in and it’s still a 5

Reviewed in Australia on 11 March 2020

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

I have seen many reviews on this and each to their own. I haven’t owned a show 5 so I can’t mention the issue with the customisation of the home screen. This is what I know. I have had it for a couple of weeks. The sound is okay, not jaw dropping. The screen is clear and the bright. The ability to call works well and Alexa seems to work well also. Sometimes the volume peaks when you ask Alexa to do something. The volume button plays up when shifting the volume up and down just after requesting a song to be play. The scrolling screen is a bit of a gimmick. Other then that it’s a cracker of a device. I have it in the kitchen and it does what I need it to do. Clock size isn’t an issue and I am guessing with updates it will get better. Great unit at the introduction offer pricing.

Nagging assistant needs to step back

Reviewed in Australia on 12 March 2020

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Alexa could be so good but her constant harping on and on, with no way of stopping..Try Aleca where is the bank, Try Alexa show me the weather..after the first few days We GET IT but there is no way of turning it off..even putting nothing on the screen bar clock and temperature you still get the nagging running across the screen. It is my only complaint but will stop me buying anything more till this is addressed. Amazon have known about this for quite awhile, a world wide issue and nothing.
The wallpaper is great but while nagging along the bottom no way of finding where photo was taken. It will be more useful as time goes on but lose the suggestions.

I imported 2x Echo Show 8's from UK. They are awesome displays for family photos, audio is x10 better and are otherwise identical to the smaller Show5's. Yes, the clock display cant be set to full screen. Minor grumble.

Hat's off - Much better in every way

Reviewed in Australia on 7 March 2020

Color: Sandstone FabricVerified Purchase

Never thought I am going to love this product. Alexa is getting better every day, The more I use it the better can be.
It is always to get in the morning and say " Alexa get me the latest news or "Alexa turn on the TV" I love it very much. Travel photos are also amazing. Echo show 8 made my life easier than use to be. Helping me out in my everyday cooking is fantastic. And yet had this for half of the price which I love the most. Thank you amazon for 50% offer and definitely looking for another item, perhaps when there 50% discount again. ALEXA IS WOW N WOW........

Easy to set-up but missing the ability to explore all other available functions easily.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 March 2020

Color: Sandstone FabricVerified Purchase

PROS. Purchased this on early pre release @ 50% off suggested retail price. Audio quality is a district improvement over my Amazon Echo Spot. Setup was simple and achieved in minutes, however as a disclaimer, having experienced setting up my other Alexa devices, the set-up was merely a formality to add this device and consequently previous data gathered by Amazon/Alexa which became immediately available to this device.
CONS. Without a friendly manual or easily discoverable web-link available on my Amazon account, it is a very long and tedious process to see what other 'Skills' (apps) and functions are available for these devices. There are titles written by 3rd parties, however these are available for purchase only from their Amazon US site. Considering the amount of profit that Amazon must be making from these devices and accessories, (the stand for this device is A$39.95 for a two-piece bit of plastic), one would think that they could afford to produce a user manual documentation be it printed paper or digital.
