I was not sure about the actual abilities of this item but I have been pleasantly surprised. It’s great as an alarm clock, checking for movie times, news updates and just any questions you can come up with. As for playing music the sound is great! Since my original purchase I have purchased 4 more as gifts!

I bought this so my kids can see and talk to their grandparents in Ohio. The grandparents don’t have the ability to Skype or FaceTime so this was the best option. So far it’s been great. It’s not a must have, but I bought it on Best Buy’s Amazon day and saved $110 on each one. We use it daily for multiple things.

This Alexa has been everything and then some. It actually helps us with getting our daughter to properly pronounce words.

Love the Alexa but this is so much better. Replace the one we had in living room with this device and it works perfectly.

The Echo was so good, I ended up getting the Echo Show as well. At first it was a device that I enjoyed using for various reasons, one being that I could ask Alexa to watch any YouTube videos I wanted to watch. Then one day, I asked Alexa to play a video and she responded by saying,"Google is not supported on Echo Show." Until YouTube comes back as a skill, the Echo Show probably isn't worth the extra money. I'd say stick with the Echo if you have Amazon Music or Spotify, or the Echo Dot if you only use the echo as part of your smart home.

The Show is a great little product. It has opened a lot of doors in the world of AI and home automation for me. It connected easily with my echo and dot and now I can stream music all over my house. The picture quality is outstanding. The only drawback is that Alexa doesn't have a very strong internet search engine.

I placed it on my nightstand to use as a clock, picture viewer and smart speaker. The sound and picture quality is very good. The Alexa feature is good for asking it for lots of info. I like that it can display a slideshow of my photo album all day. It’s nice to be able to customize the display too.

Our whole family loves, and uses this device for so many different features. We love using it to make phone calls, watch films, play Jeopardy, even to define words as they come up in conversation. We definitely get a lot of use out of this device, more than any other screen, tablet, or smart phone device we own.

I got a pair of these to keep a check on my mom of 84,because she lives 50 miles away and has forgot to hang up the phone and will not let me get through.I have had to drive in the past but now all I have to do is drop in and see and talk to her even though we have a Alexa that works only if she hears it.
