Echo Show's new speakers feature dual 2" premium drivers, a passive bass radiator, and Dolby processing to deliver expansive stereo sound with deep, powerful lows and crisp highs.

Awesome Product

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5My 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.

Excellent AI assistant

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I got the Echo Show 2nd gen charcoal when it was on sale on Father's Day and I got a free Echo Dot and a Philips Hue white bulb! What a deal from Best Buy! I use Echo Show in my bedroom to turn on/off lights and to play music. I set my routines in Alexa app so when I say "Alexa, good night", it turns the light off and plays pop music for sleeping. It has a brilliant screen, it displays lyrics and the font size is big enough so you can see the lyrics in a long distance. It also has a motion sensor and only turns the screen on when you're around and in stand by mode when you are not so it saves energy. I use the Echo Dot in the kitchen to play music when I'm cooking. The AI assistants make my life much easier.

Love it!
|Posted .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!

Best Echo ever!
|Posted .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.

Love it!
|Posted .I got this for Christmas so I'm still learning everything it can do; but so far, I love it. I haven't tried using it to call family, but will be trying that soon. I enjoy using it for my flash briefings and weather report every morning and have also enjoyed using when cooking and following along on a recipe on the Show. It works well with our Ring doorbell and our Blink security camera too. I bought the stand to go with it so that it's protected should anything get spilled since it lives on the kitchen counter.

Q: QuestionWe are looking a getting this for our elderly mom. She leaves in the country and has wifi. She has a cellphone but does not have cell service at her home as she lives to far out in the country. Will we be able to make video calls or drop in function?
Asked by Daughter.
- A:Answer Yes, as long as you have an internet connection you can use it. The only issue you might have is to set it up (amazon account needed) but you can easily create one for her. Did the same with my parents. I can drop in at any time even though they're living on a different continent :)

Q: QuestionDoes the Amazon Alexa use a lot of electricity?
Asked by Karen.
- A:Answer You can leave the Echo Show in Off Mode and it will only use .1 watts, or in Standby with the microphone and Canera both on it uses 4 watts, with Microphone on and Camera off it uses 2.5 watts. It automatically goes into standby mode after 5 minutes of inactivity so the majority of the time it is using less power per hour than the LED high efficiency light bulb we just bought which says it uses 8 watts and costs $1.10/year if we leave it on 3 hours per day. So I would say it is not going to make a noticeable difference in your utility bill. :)
