    I'm going to get a few more, tried hub, didn't like it.

    • proudwanderer on 03/06/2020 - 00:00

      Why didn’t you like it?

      • sunnyc on 03/06/2020 - 01:38

        Couldn’t do anything I wanted to do.

            @SanAndreas23: Stuff that couldn't be done on a Google Hub

        • sunnyc on 03/06/2020 - 12:27

          I wanted the google hub to read out my google emails. I wanted it to show me subscribed video content and playlist. Things that are google affiliated that can't be done on a google product

          • bdl on 03/06/2020 - 22:14

            @sunnyc: Wait till you try and use a Gsuite account with a Google Home product… even more convoluted :(

            • sunnyc on 03/06/2020 - 22:59

              @bdl: I've tried importing gsuite to gsuite and it took 7 days. 365 to gsuite 7 days. Don't know which one is worse.

  • CyberMurning on 02/06/2020 - 22:59

    Damn looks much better than $69 Lenovo.
    But this is Amazon…

    Can we link Google calendar to this ? Like asking to set event, and ask Alexa what's my (Google) calender looks like today?

    • rookie317 on 02/06/2020 - 23:08

      Yes it's in your Alexa app, link Google, Microsoft Apple calendars

      • CyberMurning on 02/06/2020 - 23:11

        So for someone who into Google, it is still 100% fine to have and use Alexa?

          Uh I wouldn't know. I have zero brand loyalty in everything.

          I still prefer to ask Google assistant things on my phone over asking Alexa. Alexa usually just goes "hmmmm, not sure about that"

        • Kontiki on 03/06/2020 - 09:05

          I use both systems side by side (for work purposes). You can use Google Calendar just fine on an Alexa, in the same way Google and Apple calendars work together. Not all Google apps have an Alexa equivalent though, so I wouldn't guarantee 100%.

        • bdl on 03/06/2020 - 11:37

          Yes, I use both. Todoist works better for me with Amazon/Alexa ecosystem (echosystem? :P) than Google Assistant.

      • Mahalo on 02/06/2020 - 23:26

        Sucks that google music cannot be linked.

        • bdl on 03/06/2020 - 11:37

          WTF, why would Google want you to use a competitor's product?!

          • mickeyjuiceman on 03/06/2020 - 13:59

            @bdl: Because you pay a monthly subscription TO GOOGLE whatever product its used on?

    • bob19 on 02/06/2020 - 23:21

      Lenovo has 7" screen. Where can you get it for $69? Can only see JB HiFi 2 for $199

    • sunnyc on 02/06/2020 - 23:51

      can you tell your google hub to show your emails? Nope. but Alexa can, how ironic.

    • McCloud on 03/06/2020 - 09:01

      Why not just look at your phone? I understand the appeal.

  • bob19 on 02/06/2020 - 23:16

    In the Amazon Echo Show 5 description it says: Watch movies, news, and TV shows.
    How can you do all these on such a tiny screen?

    • CyberMurning on 02/06/2020 - 23:18

      One by one. Why not. People uses mobile phone screen

      • bob19 on 02/06/2020 - 23:27
        -5

        Most mobiles have 6" screen now and up to 4K resolution. It's easy to hold mobile phone in your hand and watch shows during travel.
        Echo Show has terribly low 960 x 480 resolution. And you wouldn't travel with Echo Show and wouldn't want to hold it for longer than 5 minutes.

        • bdl on 03/06/2020 - 00:10

          I carry mine around in my backpack everywhere

            @bdl: What kind of generator do you have in your backpack?

    • hotrod01 on 03/06/2020 - 07:59

      It's capable of watching videos, TV shows. Though as you said the screen size is about the same as a mobile phone with less resolution. For this price it's worth it for a smart device.

  • bdl on 02/06/2020 - 23:52

    Jb also has Echo Show 8 at same price https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/amazon-echo-show-8-charco…

      The link from JB shows $159.00
      How's that same price as $79.00 ?

        Echo 8 Not 5

      • Rifty6210 on 03/06/2020 - 00:16

        bdl is referring to the Echo Show 8 not 5 which is actually cheaper at JB if you include the 5% discount which comes to $151.05.

        • Lone star on 03/06/2020 - 00:20

          But as OP said, if you use Shopback or Cashrewards when using Amazon you could get 7% cashback. ;)

  • schwinn on 03/06/2020 - 00:38

    The audio in this is really poor. Compared to my echo dot (2nd Gen) which also is a small speaker, the dot is so much clearer playing music.

    • Master Bates on 03/06/2020 - 00:46

      The 5, the 8, or both?

      The Echo Dot 2nd Gens are bad compared to the 3rd Gen (I have both) and I would be disappointed if the Shows’ are worse than the Dot Gen 2.

      • LowRange on 03/06/2020 - 01:02

        The microphone on the Show 5 is quite deaf compared to all the dot versions. The audio is average, the show 8 is quite good and the show 10 is exceptional.

      • Timm on 03/06/2020 - 09:09

        The Show 5 has way better audio than the 2nd Gen Dot. I have a couple of each. I don't have the Show 8 but from what I've heard it's better again than the Show 5.

    • schwinn on 03/06/2020 - 11:40

      To clarify, the audio on the show 5 is poor compared to my echo dot (2nd gen).

    Can someone tell me what is the point of spending money on these divices? I can do all this with my phone? Seems a waste of money.

      Smart home hub.
      always on.
      Good on desk if youre working or gaming dont need to pick up phone.
      Doesnt drain your battery

      If you dont need it you dont need it

      Literally everything on earth is a waste of money if it doesnt fit your needs

    I was looking at the "20% off select smart home devices when you buy an Echo" deal last week. Offer ends end of the month.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/b?ie=UTF8&node=6946656051

    I was thinking Echo Dot 3rd Gen ($49) connected to external speakers. Show 5 was $99 last week but now it's a further $20 price drop, so am pondering again.

    The Nanoleaf products are full price but with 20% off it's not too bad…. Still pondering since it's a lot of money!

    • y2k on 03/06/2020 - 08:27

      Ditto. Even though I'm mainly in the Google Home system (I have a some Echos I use to drop in on my older parents), at worse it's a half decent talking alarm clock for the bedside table

  • jackwilk on 03/06/2020 - 08:21

    I got Echo 5 in a package deal with Ring device last year. While I was sceptical initially, it can be a useful gadget :)
    Sure you can do all these on your smartphone - but Echo 5 is mains powered.
    It sits on my desk, you can talk to Alexa, watch Prime, Youtube and listen to internet radio stations. You can integrate it with Arlo cameras.
    While screen quality isn't best, we are talking about screen size < 6".
    Response time isn't great - there is usually small delay with everything pretty much.
    For such a small device audio is not too bad, more bass than your Echo dot.
    I wouldn't pay $79 for it, but under 50 dollar mark is no brainer.

    • bdl on 03/06/2020 - 11:14

      How well does it integrate with the Ring?

      • jackwilk on 03/06/2020 - 11:28

        I don't know, I sold the Ring and kept echo.

  • Ameowzon on 03/06/2020 - 08:45

    I have a Spot (yes, the round one) in the kitchen. It’s been useful to entertain the kids. I’m looking for an Echo Show 8 to replace it so that my wife can use it for recipes and such. $159 is steep for me :(

  • Maxx Power on 03/06/2020 - 09:17

    Currently mulling over a replacement for my Logitech Boom Squeezebox as my bedside clock and have been eyeing these for a while.

    The 5 has only got a single shitty 4W speaker while the 8 has got two 10W speakers, however you can't show the clock in full screen on the 8.

    The 8 has been that price for about 2 weeks now… If it were to drop to $115 (which it were in Feb) I would jump at it..

  • binscab on 03/06/2020 - 09:29

    I bought one for 129 and can't recommend it at all. I have other Alexa devices I'm happy with. Touch screen has no useful apps or anything, just posts random aleska tasks and quotes. Control panel for Smarthome devices would've been useful.

    Very disappointing unit. I guess I expected something like an android tablet.

    • y2k on 03/06/2020 - 09:44

      Definitely a disappointment that there's no smarthome control panel. That's been a huge benefit of my google homes

  • Damannation on 03/06/2020 - 10:07

    Does the screen dull on it to make it usable in the bedroom as an alarm close or it stays lit?

  • Penpinch on 03/06/2020 - 10:42

    Over a month ago I went to JB Hi-fi to check one out and unlike the Google stuff there was no hands-on display.

    I got echo show 5 as a warranty replacement for my echo spot. I have been using it for few months now and I wouldn't recommend this. I mainly use it for skype calls and occasional watching of prime videos. The calls drop so frequently. Also every few weeks the speaker stops working and the device needs a restart to fix it. Overall the device is slow. The speaker is subpar compared to my other echo dot devices, the mic is better in comparison though. The news flashes on the screen are annoying and there is no way to turn them off.
