This is a great device.
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5We mainly use this model as an alarm clock in the bedroom with the camera shuttered. We use it for the daily briefings, alarms, listen to our favorite music while dressing, weather reports home and other locations, and any questions we need answers to. I have the Echo Show 2nd addition in the kitchen where we use it for many things, but i really like it as a photo frame slide show that runs all the time. Just so you know the 5 will also do the slide show and play the music.

Echo is the Amazing

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Me and my Echo are having a nice experience together. I enjoy hands free calling. For some reason calls won't come in on my Echo but calls will go out. The menu sometimes offers movies and recipes. I was even able to practice my Spanish with Echo. I wish It had Hulu.

Good products with bad customer appreciation
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5The device has worked well. I was very dissatisfied with the store not returning/damaging out my Phillips Wiz light bulbs, part of a estimated $400 total purchase, that were advertised but did not connect with Google. Corporate customer service couldn’t identify the regional or district contacts but recommend that I contact the manufacturer. Customer service also indicated it was in the manager’s discretion to accept or credit the return. During the return I was considering purchasing other bigger ticket items but declined to do so based upon circumstances. I definitely didn’t feel like a valued customer.

Just the right size for the desk or nightstand.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5In the space of the clock it replaced, the echo show is a productive aid for time, weather, reminders, quick questions, appointment setting, calls, and music easily mutable for calls or concentration. Voice calling is easy to other Alexa's in a home office or with the bridge to contacts and businesses outside. I looked up the hours of a business and then Alexa offered to call them me. Convenient and quick.

Answered by CommunityAnswer
Q: Questiondoes it also control amazon devices such as thermostat and plugs for lights and appliances
Asked by boby.
- A:Answer As long as your thermostat and plugs say that they can be controlled by Alexa, this will work for you. If they don't necessarily say they will work with Alexa, there are a few services that act as a third party and have skills set up to enable this devices to work with Alexa. If you have owned an older version of an echo and the thermostat and plugs have worked, you are set, this is basically just a new version of the product.
Answered by ZacharyT
Q: QuestionIs this product can be used as a digital photo frame?
Asked by Redpig23.
