Compact powerhouse
The media could not be loaded. The Echo Show 5 continues to impress as a versatile smart display, especially when considering the value proposition of a refurbished model. The light blue color provides a sleek and understated look that fits well in most spaces.For its size, the Echo Show 5 delivers surprisingly great sound. Whether you're listening to music, podcasts, or enjoying a video, the audio is clear and full, exceeding expectations for a device in this category.The video quality is also commendable. The screen, while compact, is sharp and bright enough for casual viewing, video calls, or checking in on security cameras. The screen size works perfectly for our needs, fitting neatly on a bedside table or kitchen counter without overwhelming the space.Purchasing a refurbished unit proved to be an excellent decision, offering all the functionality of a new device at a significantly lower price. It's a testament to the durability and quality of the Echo Show 5 that it performs so well even after being refurbished.Great, but...While the Echo Show 5 excels in many areas, there are a few considerations. The compact size, while a benefit in some situations, might feel limiting for those who desire a larger display for more immersive video experiences. Also, while the sound is excellent for its size, audiophiles might still prefer a dedicated speaker system for richer, more nuanced audio. Finally, depending on the specific refurbished unit, minor cosmetic imperfections might be present, although our unit was in excellent condition.

Excellent Value for a Refurbished Smart Display with Clearer Sound and Improved Bass!
I recently purchased the Certified Refurbished Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen, 2023 release) in Cloud Blue, and I must say, I’m genuinely impressed with its performance and value. I was initially hesitant about buying a refurbished product, but after using it for a few weeks, it feels as good as new!Design & Build QualityThe Cloud Blue color is a beautiful and modern touch that fits perfectly with my home décor. The device is compact and sleek, which is great for small spaces like my nightstand or kitchen counter. Even though this is a refurbished model, there were no visible signs of previous use. It looks pristine, and the build quality is top-notch, just like a brand-new Echo Show.Sound QualityOne of the biggest improvements in the 3rd Gen Echo Show 5 is its sound. The product description promises 2x the bass and clearer sound, and it certainly delivers! The bass is much fuller and more pronounced compared to previous generations, making music sound richer and more immersive. Whether I'm playing upbeat tunes while cooking or relaxing with a podcast, the audio quality is superb for such a compact device. For everyday use, it’s perfect, though audiophiles might still prefer a dedicated speaker system.Display & Video QualityThe 5.5-inch display is crisp, bright, and responsive. It’s great for checking the weather, reading headlines, or following along with a recipe in the kitchen. I’ve also used it for video calls, and the screen clarity is excellent. While the display isn’t as large as some other smart displays, it’s more than sufficient for my needs, especially in a smaller space.Alexa IntegrationAs expected, Alexa works seamlessly with this device. Setting reminders, controlling smart home devices, and asking for updates is as easy as ever. I particularly appreciate the visual cues on the screen—like seeing my calendar events or the status of my smart home devices at a glance. The voice recognition is also impressive. Even from across the room, Alexa picks up my commands without me needing to shout.Privacy FeaturesI’m always cautious about privacy, and I’m happy to see that Amazon has integrated physical privacy controls into this model. The camera has a built-in shutter, so I can easily cover it when not in use. This feature provides me with peace of mind, especially since I keep the Echo Show in my bedroom.Certified Refurbished: Is it Worth It?Absolutely! As a certified refurbished product, it’s been tested and inspected to look and function like new, and it truly does. I haven’t encountered any issues, and I saved money by opting for the refurbished model. If you're on the fence about buying refurbished, rest assured that Amazon’s certification process seems thorough, and you’re backed by their warranty.Final ThoughtsFor anyone considering the Certified Refurbished Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen, 2023), I highly recommend it! The improvements in sound quality, the sharp and vibrant display, and the trusted Alexa integration make it an incredibly versatile and useful device. Plus, the Cloud Blue color adds a nice pop of style to any room. The fact that I got all these features at a lower price point due to it being refurbished is the cherry on top.If you’re looking for an affordable smart display that does it all—music, video, smart home control, and more—this is an excellent choice. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a reliable and high-performing smart device.

Nice price
It took a long time to get. I so far enjoy it, it has good sound for playing music. The app could be more user friendly it can be a pain finding it cancel somethings or edit something. Other than that I like it. It has good features.

Bought these for different rooms in the house during the Black Friday deals. Even bought some for my parents. Installation was easy and it integrated with smart devices easily. Perfect size screen and the touch screen is responsive. Was definitely a great value. Looks pretty good with the modern design of the house.

Works with Wyze cameras
I bought two on 7/2/24 for $44.99 each! One was not working during set up, so I did a factory reset and it works perfectly. The second one was fine out of the box and worked without any problems. I had to add the Alexa app to my IPhone, so I could sync my Wyze cameras. Both Echo's look brand new, without any marks, or scratches. In settings, you can control what pops up on your screen, it's user friendly.
