I use this ALL the time. My whole family uses it! I even bought one for my MIL because it's so great! I only gave it 4 stars because they already have a newer version with a bigger screen, but I didn't want to spend the extra $80 on it. I use it to watch shows while working in the kitchen, make recipes, listen to music, set reminders and alarms, check the weather, listen to the news, and create a shopping list! This little device is TERRIFIC!!

loved the echo show. my only complaint is that youtube will no longer be available on it. That is one of the main reasons I purchased this as a gift. Other than that the product is great. Easy to use.

Plays any music you request, answers questions, even tells jokes to my 10 yr old. Much more capability than we've unleashed yet!

I currently have a Show at home that I use frequently. This is the original model, but it works well and is great for use in the kitchen, setting timers, listening to music, etc. I bought this online through the BB app as a Christmas gift. The product was in stock at my local store and was ready for pick up same day.

Great for looking up recipes when your cooking and your hands are tied up. Also, perfect for “dropping in” on family & friends.

Very impressed; set up a little confusing, but overall a good experience. Still learning. However, Best Buy emails give away any gift secrets !! Had to reset my account to a work email address.

I already have a couple of Echo's. I bought this one so I could move my first Echo to my bedroom. I like this one because it has a screen and can be linked with my calendar and reminders.

Very happy with these. I have the Echo DOT , actually 5 of them, and they are great too but the show is better with the screen and does not really require the external speaker even though you can do it. I gave them to my family so we could do video calls and so far has been a lot of fun for everyone.

With this you can make calls to other echo shows. Or using the app you can call others that have the a show. I haven't used this feature yet since I'm the only one I know who has one. I can tell you that while using the app at home or away from home off the network you can call the show. I did this while at work to check it out and caught my son coming in the back door. I freaked him out but after he settled down we chatted via video chat for awhile and both agreed it was awesome! You could also just drop into the show from the app to check on the house or whatever, wherever you have it. Keep in mind you're only gonna see what it's pointed at. The camera doesn't move. Plus in its natural form it is tilted back slightly so it point upward. There are stands on amazon the correct the tilt to make it straight up and down. Almost forgot but the speakers are amazing! You can link multiple echos together to play music. I have the show in my living room an echo in my bedroom and the dot connected to a JBL speaker in another room. After set up through the app I can tell Alexa to play music and they all come to life.

at first I wasnt sure if this was something I "needed" when I already have the echo but it was on sale for black friday so I thought why not. As soon as it was set up I understood why I "needed" this. It just enhances everything Alexa does! Being able to see what she says is great! Seeing and adjusting my shopping list by touch is amazing. I love walking in the room and seeing little news blurbs. It looks sleek and beautiful on my counter. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Bought the eco show to replace my first gen eco (the original tube). The show hears and understands me a lot better.
