Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have the original Echo Show in the kitchen, and two Echo Spots. when I saw the Show 5, I first questioned what it was worth, but (being a geek both professionally and at heart) I had to try it out. Saw a video saying the sound was poor. I disagree with that one completely. The sound is crisp and clear, with plenty of volume for a small space. If I need something louder, I can always add speakers or pay the extra money for a larger unit. It's perfect for a personal viewer on my deck (yes, I have electricity and WiFi in range) without being drowned out by the neighbor mowing their law or disturbing the neighbor by being too loud. The size many be smaller than either the original or 2, BUT it's larger than the Spot, and fits much better just about anywhere. It's large enough to actually watch a video like I would on my cell phone, and cost a lot less than any cell phone one the market. The only improvement I'd recommend for the cost is giving ME the option of when I want the screen darkened. I'm in the office at 5 in the morning, so I need it to go dark sooner than Amazon decided was normal. In a 24/7 world, there are no NORMAL sleeping hours.
