Certified Refurbished Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) - Smart speaker with 5.5" screen, crisp sound, bluetooth and Alexa (Black)

I recently purchased the Certified Refurbished Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen, 2021 release) in black, and it has exceeded my expectations! Initially, I was a bit skeptical about buying a refurbished device, but this Echo Show 5 looks and performs like new.Pros:Compact and Stylish Design: The 5.5" screen is the perfect size for a bedside table, kitchen counter, or desk. It’s compact but still provides a great viewing experience for quick video clips, recipes, or video calls.Impressive Sound Quality: For a small device, the sound is surprisingly clear and balanced. It’s ideal for listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts.Alexa Integration: The Alexa functionality works flawlessly, responding quickly to commands. Having it on a screen adds an extra layer of convenience, like visually checking the weather or managing my calendar.Privacy Controls: It’s nice that Amazon included a physical camera shutter, which makes me feel more comfortable using it in various rooms.Cons:Limited Video App Options: While it handles Amazon Prime Video well, there are limited options for other streaming services, so it’s not a full entertainment device.Charging Cable Length: The cable is a bit short if you’re setting it up far from an outlet.Overall, I’d highly recommend this Certified Refurbished Echo Show 5 if you’re looking for a multifunctional smart device without the hefty price tag of a brand-new one. It’s a fantastic option for anyone who wants to try a smart display or add an extra one to their home.

I have mixed feelings about the product -- Device setup is very easy (5*)- Alexa's response time is good (5*)- Smart device integration works well (4*)- Display and audio are ok (3*)- UI is very slow (2*)- Camera cannot work unless you give microphone permission to Alexa application on your phone (1*)- Although they have JioSaavn integration but that doesn't work well. You need Prime membership for a good experience. (2*)At this point I am thankful that I did not got for a brand new product. It is value for money at 2.3k.

Good speaker but the display looks a little slow, device over all performance is average

I have received the product on 27 nov and I have opened the box on 4th dec.. and to my surprise the Device is struck on getting your device ready page.. i tried hard resetting and also fast boot... Buy again the same screen loading... Very much disappointed with this product... My humble request to amazon is to replace the device or repair it nd give..

Value for money

for me it is very good product, fully loaded features , no issue

I find the non screen device work better. The mic used in echo show if not good quality. Responsiveness is terrible and while playing music it simply doesn't respond until you screem or the music stops.

Product is new condition. Great deal go for it. May be used as bluetooth speaker with display
