Adds some nice tricks to the regular Echo lineup. Video calls to other Show owners works well. Speakers sound good.

I have had an echo dot for over 1 year so I am familiar with Alexa. The echo show has taken Alexa to the next level. She sits on the kitchen counter for the entire family to use. Hands free video calling is so easy even my 85 year old mom can use it. I love being able to access recipes, youtube videos, news, weather, music, Amazon prime shows etc... We also have compatible security cameras which we can bring up on the screen just by saying "Alexa show me the front door".

newer generation supposedly has better speaker and is more stylish. However, the 1st generation is a steal at its current sales price, and still does all the functions you need. 2 were purchased for my sister and her son so they may enjoy each others company despite far away from each other.

Ok so i normally do not like this kind of stuff, but to be honest Alexa has been great, not only do we use it for fun stuff like music while cooking, or being able to multi task much easier, it fit in seamlessly with our home security system, added a extra cam, and really does add something extra to the home

I have both an Amazon Echo and Amazon Show and prefer the Show with the video screen. I use the Show to display recipes when cooking, lyrics to the music I’m listening to and video conferencing with my family. I like seeing headlines of stories scroll across the screen along with the t8me and temperature.

This device lets my elderly-ish father hear all of the music he loves, and easily call me without fussing over his phone. We discover new skills daily, and it has made his life so much happier! Uploading photo memories to play in the background is an extra bonus. It keeps the family close.

Quick and easy set up; the sound is truly amazing from such a little device. We already have a dot and a spot, but the Echo show is by far, the best. Got this at a bargain price too because it's the 1st generation, but it does everything we'd expect it to do. Grab one while you can.

This is great for playing songs but sometimes Alexa tries to tease you to purchase Amazon's music service.

I know the 2nd generation recently came out, but I could not pass up on the 1st generation Black Friday deal for under $100. Purchased this as a Christmas gift for a family member. I am a long-term Alexa user and love the service. Great deal if you can score one for under $100!

I have an echo plus and 3 echo dots. I decided to add the show. I like having the ability to see things on the screen. Sometimes there is conflict between the plus and show. I havent had time to investigate. Could not resist getting the show as the sale price was excellent.
