Customer Ratings & Reviews

Gave Echo Spot to my son for his bedroom and wanted replacement in our master with something a little more. Had m eye on the Show and when it went on sale, I couldn't pass it up. Love this device! Use it all the time for reminders, alarms, watching video, listening to music, flash news briefings, weather updates, etc. My wife was skeptical, but now she loves it, too, and uses it all the time!

If you're an Alexa fan this would be fantastic because it has the screen. My only problem is that I'm already comfortable using my laptop for anything Alexa can do. Also I'm not up to speed on using the skills - which i guess are the echo equivalent of apps. But for answering questions i could just use ok google on my phone which can go anywhere. This is tethered to a wall, which is fine for what it is and i wouldn't want something battery powered anyway. But then my wife started talking about getting echo dots for every room because they were on sale and I'm like, hey, just keep your phone in your pocket and you've got more power than echo with you anyway. Alexa rarely understands what i want (maybe i just don't ask right) and when she does, can give only a single result (which is invariably not my first choice) instead of being able to choose from dozens of options like when i do a Google search. She won't even give a satisfactory search of Amazon shopping options. I end up going to the laptop to do that anyway. In time artificial intelligence will improve. For now it seems still just a novelty. With practice perhaps my success with it will improve. If someone wants to get ahead of the technological curve and start learning how to interact with AI now then this would be an ok option. But keep in mind she is constantly listening to your private conversations to target advertising to you. The device is attractive and functions well. The speaker sounds good and it can connect to bluetooth.

I love having the screen available to use for certain tasks like streaming doorbell video, security camera footage, Amazon Prime music lyrics and videos, but I am disappointed that Amazon’s implementation of YouTube on the Echo Show violated Google's terms of service so they got the app pulled from the Show. Also, honestly, and anyone can prove it just through everyday use, but the Echo is just not as useful as Google Assistant with inquiries. It works pretty well with home automation but it just doesn't understand or can't help with about half of the inquiries I throw at it. I would have gone with a Google Home if there was one with a touchscreen. I would recommend it for those heavily invested in Amazon Prime and home automation.

I love this unit. Very well designed and built. It's very easy to use and has a huge amount of features. The screen is beautiful, but the audio could use a bit more bass IMHO. I bought 3 for Christmas gifts.

Easy to log in and set up. Good sound. Needs a remote for the volume as is changes with each radio station, song, or replies.

Works great. My mom used it every day for checking news and video calls with the family

The Echo show screen is great, it is helpful with recipes, music etc. I use it to listen to music all the time. I am hoping someone in my family gets one soon so we can face time each other.

Sound as good or better than Echo. Love the screen. Multiple Alexa Products in house and the Drop In is a great add on.

Very fun to have music at the ready with a voice command. We use it with Amazon Unlimited which has nearly everything. Good to view recipes with Allrecipes, so we keep it in the kitchen for reference and musical ambience. The video is good too, it has youtube functionality. It would be nice to have regular tv though, but that is probably on the providers for now.. nice to have the photo background and lastly, to have lyrics on the screen when music is played!

I bought this Amazon Echo Show for a great price on black Friday! I really do love it, the sound is improved from the original Amazon Echo device (1st version) and the screen is a great addition. The only thing that I would like is the ability to use YouTube on the device. It seems that Amazon and Google are having a problem getting along. The conclusion is that this is a great item to add to your Amazon Eco system and I would definitely recommend it!

Great device for music and face time calls. The sound is crisp and clear. Many options with the Echo Show

This is a great addition to the other Alexa products by Amazon. It works great in the kitchen. Better voice recognition and sound. The onscreen display and information are very helpful. The video capability is watching instructional videos or even playing music videos while working/cooking. It can also scroll personal photos as a picture display. All in all Echo Show is a wonderful addition. Well worth it, especially if you get it on sale.

I bought the white version and have it in the kitchen. I use it for EVERYTHING, music, video, phone, security cams, news, weather. It's the perfect kitchen assistant.

Love that I can view my arlo cams on it , love it plays movie trailers on point , love the lyrics when playing music , love the video calls, love the drop in to other Alexa devices around the house (they now work as intercoms) so I can be in the 3rd floor of my house (3 story home in Las Vegas ) the doorbell rings I can say alexa show me front door (arlo cam) then I can say alexa open front door, drop in on the echo by front door and say come on up , Just having a blast with this stuff , yes I am in deep with the smart home thing.. alexa turn on the lights (hue color lights) , turn on the fan (wemo switches) Alexa set house to 77 degrees (nest ) so endless , yeah I would say the ECHO SHOW IS A GOOD START ...

The Alexa Show was purchased to replace another much older device and while the Show is a good device it is lacking in some aspects that I had in the older device. I'm not sure if I'm missing it in the Show but I was able to get internet cameras on the older device (such as San Diego Zoo Elephants) that you can't get on the Show. While certainly not a deal breaker it was fun to watch. Setup was pretty straight forward and easy. It is a good aspect that we can talk to the device and it knows what we want to a certain extent. It is very literal at times and you have to make sure you have the exact code words or you get something other than what you want. (such as "play" or "start" or "open") I use it as an alarm clock and it is quite easy to set up the same time for my week but it would be a little more difficult if you have to work one weekend day of the week and then 4 more or other combination. You would have to set up several different alarms, one for each day as far as I can see. Some of the alarm sound choices are a bit alarming, I don't really want to be terrified awake each day. I found one that was mellow and at a moderate sound level works well. It would be nice to be able to add your own alarm sounds so you could have it customized to what you'd like. I don't see that yet anywhere. Another thing about the alarm is if you try to dismiss it and touch the screen the wrong way it puts the alarm into snooze mode instead of turning it off. If you tell it to dismiss the alarm it works fine but there are times I'd rather not say anything at that time of day and just dismiss it with a swipe, which is possible, but very sensitive and if you miss, here comes snooze! Just little things that may get fixed in the future with enough feedback from the customers but some may not effect people as much as some people who have more impact with a particular anomaly. I am thinking of getting a thermostat that hooks to it so I can monitor and change the heat and cooling but that is in the future at this time. Hoping that works well when it arrives.It will be nice to raise the temp a degree in the cold of winter without having to get out of the warmth of the bed. All in all I'd say it's a good emerging technology but needs a little work. Considering this type of thing was science fiction not too long ago It's kind of where we're heading.

Works great when you're doing Video chat And listening to music and seeing lyrics on screen

The screen really does add tremendous value. The bugs are almost all worked out and the quality of hearing my commands is night and day from a month ago.

Easy to use. Simple set up. Loud speakers and the mic picks up anywhere in the house.

I’ve had an echo show for about a year and absolutely love it! I purchased one for my mom and dad along with a couple dots and am shocked how much they use it. We now have set one up for my 93 year old grandma and her 87 year old brother since they can’t travel anymore and now they can see each other every day! Along with us being able to see them as well. I am truly amazed at how quickly my older relatives have learned to use it and how excited they are to have it and absolutely love it. What a great way to allow people to not just speak but to see the faces of their loved ones with such an easy to use device. It shocked me to see them calling people on their own along with using it for so many other things with no problems and a huge smile on their faces! I highly recommend this and will be buying more for myself and any other family members that need one.

I resisted getting this since I already have two Echo units and one Dot. Black Friday gave me reason to buy one. I LOVE IT twice as much as the regular Echo. The set up is faster and easier and I love the visuals. I use my Shopping List and To Do List A LOT and having it display and being able to edit it without logging into the app makes it so much more worth it. I may be getting another :)
