We have the large Echo, 4 Echo Dots, an Echo Spot, and now the Echo Show 5 -- I love them all! The Echo Show 5 was easy to get set up and is great to use. I have it by my bed (don't need an alarm clock, we're retired!) and I really like the clock face. It's nice and big, easy to read with my old eyes. I have it set to dim down at night so it won't cast too much light in our bedroom, but it's still very readable.

There are nice clockfaces which are easy to change. I also purchased the magnetic stand so I could angle it down to make it easier for me read the time. It works great with our Ring Doorbell and Ring Security System, just like the rest of our Echos. I'm very pleased with the Echo Show 5 and would recommend it. The price is right too!
