Easy to install, easy to set up and easy to use. My whole family loved it. I purchased extra two (2) to give away as christmas gifts. I recommended it to my siblings, they too bought one for personal use and extras for christmas give aways.

I love my amazon show it’s a recommended product if you wanna have this item. However the down sides are it has a great speaker so if it’s full max it may be hard for Alexa to hear you. Another downside google hates amazon = not YouTube.

The Alexa show is great! The show is the same as the other Alexa items, but this one is better because it provides videos, notes, a better speaker and other features. I definitely recommend purchasing this especially while it’s on sale!

We loved the Echo Dot, but the Show is exponentially better. Especially love to see the words of the songs being played, and views of places all over the world we want to see. Big difference in cost between dot and show, but worth it!

Love This for Several Reasons

First, easy to install and looks great even though it's 1st generation. I use this to monitor video from my Ring doorbell especially at night. I also bought one for my elderly Mother-In-Law. She lives alone in the country and this gives her a little company. She can make video and normal phone calls from anywhere in the room without having to find her cell phone or home phone! It is also a comfort knowing that if she falls and can't get up, she can make a call just by telling Alexa to call someone!

Bought this mainly for my son to be able to video chat with his Grandma and it works great. All the other features are an added bonus plus we added some wall plugs that control different things and the echo controls them flawlessly.

This is so much better than the Dot in that I can now see people I am speaking with and my Today show news briefings show clips from the show. I can see Amazon movies on this and I have my parents picture as my screen-saver.

I was debating on the Show and the Spot. The price for the Show dropped $100 so it was the same price--I thought I would try it. LOVE it. Screen looks great. Sound is very good. I since bought the Spot also--fine, but prefer the Show. Some talk about the design--I think it looks great. Have it in our kitchen. Seems more sensitive to sound. It plays full youtube and Amazon videos. Wonder how long the screen will last since it is always on--but it is exactly what I envisioned for a kitchen device.

This is a must have is great for recepies, while you are cooking Alexa gives you the info. For the ines that are used to a tablet or iPod that you have to stop and read this is awesome plus. So much easier to follow things.

Love the Echo Show. Allows me to control lights, alarm, vacuum and lots of stuff. No brainer to set up. Make lists, keep up with calendar. Plays music. Tells jokes and sings—badly but is fun. Couldn’t be happier with it.

This device is great. You can view your Ring Cameras, you can turn on and off your Hue Philips lights, works in many other devices. You can play songs all day long ( need to sign up for Amazon Music ) , you can play video music, movies, video call, purchase things over the amazon account, it plays jokes and games, sings Happy Birthday to you, I really recommend Alexa to everyone.

Amazon Echo products are terrific and and quite helpful. Imagine taking the Alexa voice and adding some video to it. Really cool. Great for the kitchen where you can use it for recipes as well as music and other things.

Love how the echo show integrates with smart house devices and cameras. I use it to view our cameras, listen to music, make phone calls/video calls and even as a recipe guide when cooking. I’ve been very impressed!

I love the Echo Show works well with the Arlo security cameras. Cannot wait for the Fire TV / Netflix to be released this month on October 25, 2017. The speakers are not as good as the Alexa but I love the screen.

Overall a great product. No need to explain voice enabled features as they’re the same across all types of voice enabled devices. I mainly bought this because of speaker: the power output is far better than Amazon’s other Echo devices. I don’t know how well the sound projects in open cathedral-like room, but it’s absolutely perfect (actually more than sufficient) for traditional, compartmentalized homes.
I haven’t really used much and placed a lot of emphasis on the screen other than it helps when changing settings, learn lyrics to songs, read who the artist is...etc.
This is my 4th Show, and I think that speaks for itself!
