Historical lows for these I think?

Most other Echo devices are on sale too, some are already mentioned in other deals but I'll link them here anyway for completion:

    Is it possible to watch Netflix, plex, etc on one of these?

      No to Netflix. But you can watch prime and YouTube. Great price… Got a few at $79 at the last sale and most are used as intercoms and music players.

      • first in line on 24/11/2020 - 21:26

        Would this be good to put in the toilet?

          No, not waterproof.

      • MeagerDollarBucks on 24/11/2020 - 21:27

        Pretty sure you can watch netflix via the web browser.

      • spaij on 08/12/2020 - 08:47

        YouTube is only via the browser though, right?

        • khomeini on 08/12/2020 - 12:14

          Yes, through Silk if you want to voice control it via Alexa.
          And Netflix doesn't show on these via browser, the newer one will.. but to be honest, this is great for keeping in bedrooms, especially for an intercom system plus bonus as a clock/alarm & music player.

  • yht on 24/11/2020 - 20:47

    Wow, is Echo Show 6 coming ?

    • konakona on 24/11/2020 - 20:53

      Echo Show 10 is coming soon, but a 5 seems mighty tempting as a bedside device. Hopefully it doesn't run out of stock while I contemplate :P

      • jayboi on 24/11/2020 - 21:18

        TBH I think its a great device and for $49 its a steal of a deal, Perfect for a bedside table.
        I even have one

    All the Echo devices are ridiculously discounted, including the new Echo/Dot 4th generation, most > 50%

    • konakona on 24/11/2020 - 20:56

      You're right, the 2 Show devices must've updated their prices first since the others weren't discounted when I posted. I'll add all the links to this deal.

  • Ameowzon on 24/11/2020 - 21:01

    I had an Echo 5. It was too small. I sold it then bought the Echo 8. The size is perfect. I bought the Echo 8 at $129 thinking they will never go below that. It's $109 now. I'm tempting to get another.

    • jayboi on 24/11/2020 - 21:17

      I have the echo show 5 and can confirm that it is more than big enough for a bedside table. It’s actually a really great device and I am very happy with mine.
      But if you want to put it in a main/big area then definitely should get a show 8 or 10

      • Ameowzon on 24/11/2020 - 21:29

        My 8 is in the kitchen, so yes, probably the 5 is sufficient for bedside.

          Tell me the weather, tell me my schedule for the day, add things to my to do list, control lights, play music play list. The tip is to have interconnectivity. Otherwise it's just a verbal controlled mini-tablet.

          • xrailgun on 25/11/2020 - 13:11

            @Sweetnsour: Does it only play music from Amazon Music? Or can you like put in an SD card and play from there? And if you have multiple Amazon devices, can you command one to play music from an SD card on another device?

              @xrailgun: There is no SD card port. Only a micro usb drive. I believe u can stream via spotify but you'll need to do your own research for that.

    • yht on 24/11/2020 - 21:18

      How was the music sound like with Echo 5 comparing to Echo Dot 3rd Gen ?

        100 times better on the show 5, I have both and the show 5 is more detailed and more bassy and louder

          my experience was the show 5 had terrible sound quality. Alexa sounds muffled, songs just generally sound worse imo

  • first in line on 24/11/2020 - 21:18

    Would this be useful for putting infront of my indoor rower or exercise bike to watch video while exercising?

  • Yanoflies on 24/11/2020 - 21:26

    I hate my 5 because it's UI is so slow (e.g. if I ask to see my front door, it'll take like 1 minute and by that time the person would have left).

    I never touch it because it's frustrating.

    That said, I bought another cause it's so cheap lol.

    • LowRange on 24/11/2020 - 21:47

      The 5" isnt that great imho, the screen resolution is poor, the microphone isnt the best and it's slow. The 8" and 10" are much better.

    • No Username on 25/11/2020 - 11:10

      It's not the device but rather your Wi-Fi. Mine loads up almost instantly sometimes it may take up to 5 seconds max. Try and move the router closer to your Ring Doorbell or Echo Device.

  • C0mbat on 24/11/2020 - 21:30

    I've got the Show 8. Unless you ask Alexa to set a timer or what the weather is she gets most things wrong. Choosing something on Spotify is infuriating. Total waste of money for me.

    • Ameowzon on 24/11/2020 - 21:43
      +5

      Not quite the case for me. My 4 year old can speak to Alexa and get her to change songs on Spotify quite accurately. She calls it “fortispy” and Alexa understands her. It’s actually quite amazing.

  • kiriakoz on 24/11/2020 - 21:31

    Are these worth it? I've seen the novelty factor of them, but I've resisted the urge to purchase any of these things.

    If they're useful, tell me how you practically use them.

        Can you turn the screen off completely black? I like to sleep in my 'crypt' with no screens or indicator LED's.

          The screen on the Show 5 can be REALLY dim at night. I like a pitch black room too and have no trouble with the screen brightness - or lack thereof.

          • Skinnerr on 25/11/2020 - 11:48

            @Aglet: Thanks. For $50 I finally pulled the trigger as my old clock was dated and ugly. Worst case I'll turn it around while I sleep haha.

    So you can't really take these around with you as it needs to be plugged in to a power outlet. If this is true, that's lame.

            @jayboi: My kitchen island bench does not. So if I plan to use it the cable will have to stretch across the room which will be a trip hazard

    • khomeini on 25/11/2020 - 11:30
      +1

      I agree with part of your sentiment.

      If this has a rechargeable battery the use of it would be served as either a portable screen/speakers.

      I have one plugged in the kitchen and works well but imagine listening to some music which you want to quickly take outdoor and listen in the patio for a short time, simply unplug and voila.

      Think Amazon can improve on this aspect but probably a costing Vs warranty issue as batteries etc would have more warranty/returns issues. (I'd assume).

      Ps. It's not lame, just not a feature of the product.

    Echo Show was one of biggest purchasing mistakes. Touch screen is pretty useless - wanted it for IOT control.

      Alex is pretty good ecosystem for smart home controls.

      Echo and Echo Show (10") have hubs for wireless control of lights, locks, sensors etc. Google nest has no function other than a screen with smart speaker.

      • Sammy2000 on 25/11/2020 - 05:42

        I can do the same smart home controls with Google as I can with Alexa.
        Don't buy both cause you forget what room has which.

          Google have cheaped out on all their hardware so nothing in their line-up have hub functions. Some Echoes have Zigbee integration and that is why they have "smart home" controls.

          • y2k on 24/12/2020 - 07:16

            @fuzor: Aren't the Echo Zigbee hubs more limited, though? eg for Phillips Hue products, you need the Hue hub to be able to set up accessories etc?

        Agreed. I love Google but find Alexa is better at understanding you. Google would trip up with similar commands but Alexa is near faultless. I moved from Google and use Alexa for voice commands at home now.

      • this is us on 25/11/2020 - 17:34

        I've only bought one of them, the other four were gifts from Google so it can keep spying on me in every bedroom/bathroom. Had Amazon offered me a free Echo Dot, story would be different.

        Although I've been a Prime member for years and buy lots of stuff on Amazon, they've never given a free gift with my purchases.

    I read the 2nd gen Echo Show has Smart hub built in. Does that mean I won’t need a bridge to control Philips Hue lights?

    • dealsucker on 25/11/2020 - 08:14

      I think thats only the 10inch model. If you are looking for one without screen, you could get the Echo 4th gen with premium sound.

      • fuzor on 25/11/2020 - 14:29

        2nd gen Echo Show is the 10inch model. So yes it would work.

    Is there a way to stop the news that gets displayed on Echo show 5? It's American news and not relevant.

    for those that use the echo show 8 in the kitchen, are you manually searching for recipes directly on the device (i.e. voice search or using web browser) or are you finding it on your phone and casting to the device?

    I like to find recipes on sites like taste.com.au and similar. Have quite a few bookmarked, so I'd prefer not to voice/manual search each time.
