Amazon - Echo Show (2nd Gen) - Smart Speaker with Alexa and built in smart home Hub - Charcoal

My siblings and I bought this for our 92 yr. old father who is in an Assisted Living facility. He was having trouble hearing us on his flip phone (which is low quality but the only phone he knows how to operate-I tried teaching him to use my iPhone but he couldn’t and asked for his flip phone back). My siblings who live out of town and out of state were having difficulty carrying on a conversation with him. The genius of the Echo is the speaker is so loud and crisp he hears everything we say. He is absolutely thrilled to be able to see them while they talk to him. He is not able to learn any new electronic devices but this drop in feature is wonderful. We just start calling his name and he goes over to the device. He doesn’t have to do anything. The setup was super easy and I was able to download a picture of him and my deceased Mother at the beach for his screensaver and he is over the moon about that. I recommend this product highly. It has made a tremendous difference in our Dad’s quality of life.

My first Echo show I own and is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I can now control my devices from the comfort of my bed without lifting a finger. The feel of it is very comfortable to hold and love the fabric touch! Plus the built in hub is a PLUS cause I don't have to buy a separate hub for my smart lights! I like that I can use my Philip's Hue Lamp with the Echo to control the lighting and colors. Also like the fact it can control my tv and receiver too! If you want to have a smart home I recommend to get this Echo Show! It's really Amazing! Amazon really outdid themselves with this device.

I have echos all over my house including the first generation Show, but this blows them all away! Superior sound, the bigger display, I love this thing! We use it as a baby monitor with our Nest Cams and the bigger display makes it so much easier to see from across the room. It also works with my Ring Pro Doorbell. I also use SmartThings and have my entire house wired with smart switches. The bass and the sound is such a huge improvement too! Go buy one!

Soo i was very skeptical at purchasing this device but seeing my friends and family have several Alexa devices i decided to jump on board as well. It's very responsive, can play music, make calls, watch Hulu, control other Alexa compatible appliances/electronics like lights,TV, coffee maker, air fryer.. Want Alexa to remind to meditate for 30mins or How about gift ideas..... You can't go wrong with the Echo Show.

LOVE THIS DEVICE! Got one for my Mom and one for me. I call her every day on it. She loves the sound and the hands free convenience. She can hear so much better on it than on a regular phone. I recommend it highly if you are quarantined, if you have older family members, if you live long distance from loved ones, or even if you don’t. It’s great for cooking music while in the kitchen or recipes. We’ve watched videos on it, too. Setup was easy and we connected to contacts in phone for easy calling. So glad we purchased this, wish we had gotten it sooner!
