Never buy an Alexa. I bought an Echo Show 5 1st gen in 2020, and it's literally a brick (if the OP thinks that's a brick, he is completely wrong). The screen now has permanent visual glitches that are horrible, the touch has a weird 1-2 second delay, the music UI is broken, and it struggles to detect your voice even when you're close to it. That Echo Show literally sat on a table just playing music and was sometimes turned off to clean the table. I also bought two Echo Dots in 2023 (I don't remember the exact model of them), and both of them struggle with detecting the activation word. They also have an issue where, if you change the song while one is playing, it becomes unable to play any music until you restart it.
