Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) Adjustable Stand with USB-C Charging Port | Charcoal

Game/life changer.
I’ve always been against all things Alexa (privacy, etc.), same with all things Google (oh so much with Google). I’m extremely tech savvy and have been for 40 years… so it’s not that I don’t understand technology, instead it’s that I understand it a bit too much to be comfortable with the loss of anonymity and oh so much more. That being said, it’s not like any of us aren’t or can’t be tracked in countless other ways in this day and age (sadly and uncomfortably), so I finally broke down and bought 2 of these Echo’s and I’ve got to say… WOW, game changer, life changer. I’m still learning some of the ins and outs, and I’m not paying for a subscription, but even without paying for anything, just the ability to see my orders on Amazon, track them to some degree, the music that’s included, shopping lists, pairing the 2 so that the one upstairs and downstairs both mirror each other – all of it, total game changer.Quality of the device it’s is excellent as is the sound! While paired each of the 2 only use 1 speaker and the sound quality is phenomenal even with 1 speaker! Installation was cake (though if you’ve been avoiding all things in this arena for as long as I have, you may want to play around with and don’t rush yourself to learn all of the settings in a second or even 1 days, just get your privacy setup as quick as possible lol, I started playing with reminders, routines and alarms all at time, and too quickly, and then had to reset and start anew – I had way too much going on without a full understanding (again, I read nothing lol).It’s very sturdy, but I did also buy the stands for them, which I can also say is a game changer – I wouldn’t like them without the stands, the stands help get it off the furniture, make it look more sleek and allow you to put it into any direction you like (I definitely recommend the stands – unsure why they aren’t sold with them, in my opinion they should be).It looks great, it’s compact enough to fit anywhere, but not too small where you can’t see it – adjustment ability is a little tricky until you get/learn the right touch, which I become better at each day. All in all I think these are GREAT.*** Note: If you’re an iPhone user as I am, it might take a few days to learn your Hey Siri from your Alexa LOL. That took a few days and I laughed through it all, I now feel like I’m either cheating on, or broke up with Siri lol. I definitely recommend these little game changers!

Not bad for first one.
Stopped working after a year. Bad response time and clock began to show the wrong time a lot. I did enjoy it when it worked properly.

This stand works perfectly with the Show 5 3rd generation.
Although some of the reviews on this page are for the 3rd generation Show 5, this review is only for the Show 5 stand being sold on this page. My review for the this Show 5 will be on the page for this product. The Show 5 is amazing, but without this stand it sits at the level you put it meaning that it faces forward. So, if you are viewing the Show 5 placed on a table or shelf that is above or below your viewing angle, it isn’t going to be an optimum viewing angle that faces you.With this stand, you can adjust the screen of the Show 5 up or down so it can be viewed more comfortably. So, if you have the Show 5 on a counter, the screen won’t be facing your waste. You can angle the screen up to view it from above. You can also angle the screen down if you need to.In addition, the magnet that holds the Show 5 to the stand is secure and will not disconnect unless you pull it off. Although the improved speakers on the 3rd generation Show 5 are great, you have the option of connecting external Bluetooth speakers if you like. This stand also includes a USB-C charging port that can be used to charge your phone or other devices that use a USB-C charging cable. If you buy this stand for the 3rd generation Show 5, it does not include the charging cable, but this cable is included with the Show 5. I have previous versions of the Show 5 and have stands for them. This stand is for the 3rd gen Show 5 only. Stands for previous versions will not fit this version of the Show 5.I hope this review was helpful for you in deciding whether or not you want this stand for the 3rd generation Show 5.

Great item.
Works but the price is so high for a stand! I need it as i use it for a bedroom table but when the stand is half of the price of the unit itself … crazy. The “package price was great, though.With that said – it works perfectly, looks great, sturdy and charges another item if needed.

Besonders positiv fällt die stabile Konstruktion auf: Auch bei größerem Neigungswinkel steht das Gerät sicher und wackelt nicht. Die Verstellung funktioniert leichtgängig, hält die gewählte Position aber zuverlässig. Gummierte Auflageflächen verhindern Kratzer und sorgen zusätzlich für Halt.Ein klarer Pluspunkt ist der integrierte USB-C-Ladeanschluss. Dadurch kann das Gerät während der Nutzung bequem geladen werden, ohne dass das Kabel stört oder ungünstig abknickt. Der Anschluss sitzt sauber und wirkt gut verarbeitet.Auch bei längerer Nutzung zeigt sich keine Instabilität oder Materialermüdung.

para mi es imprescindible para el Echo Show 5. Muy contenta con la compra
