Amazon Echo Show 5 (Cloud Blue, 3. Generation)

The 5.5-inch screen is just the right size for my nightstand, and the Cloud Blue color looks way better in person than online. I love being able to glance at the weather and my calendar first thing in the morning without grabbing my phone.

I was pleasantly surprised by how clear the video calls look on this little screen, even in a dimly lit room. Setting it up to control my lights and play music hands-free took less than five minutes.

The Cloud Blue color is even prettier in person, and the 5.5-inch screen is the perfect size for my kitchen counter without taking up too much space. Alexa responds quickly to my commands for timers and music, and the sound quality from such a small device genuinely surprised me.
