With the new Echo Show, Alexa can show things such as the weather forecasts,view recipes and much more. Having the option to download photos is a plus. The sound is very good.

My Alexa Show is Great, fun , lot of laughs! It is a learning experience Alexa, is kinda dumb turns out. You put a app on phone, iPad, easy, then you pick skills for her. I already had a smart thermostat and connecting it to Alexa thru app on phone was easy, remembering what words to use to tell Alexa to turn heat up, hahaaa not easy. So Alexa is going to keep my Memory alive for me, I like her today I figured out local News briefing, tomorrow I'll tackle local traffic. I did figure out she takes pictures, I have twenty pics of xmas tree, had to show everyone what she can do!

The Echo Show is hands down the best device of the Echo lineup. I’ve bought at least one of everyone except the Tap. I use this to call and check on my grandparents, who I got one for Christmas. It’s amazing watching my arlo and ring cameras on the screen. Also watching news segments and looking at cooking recipes/videos is great. It’s also the easiest to set up of the Echo Devices, you don’t even need to use the app,

This is really an awesome device I bought a second one and have it at the other end of the house. Now can video chat and use with ring doorbell and cameras. Wish there were some output devices to plug into the back of my stereo for great sounding music.

I love to use Alexa to listen to music, set timer,alarms,and ect. My parents use the show to show the cameras and stuff for a second control panel to their security system.

Fun and easy to use. Music sounds great. Set timers, reminders and sync your calendar. I'm giving one as a gift to my daughter so we can video chat with "drop in" any time.

Very similar to FaceTime on an Apple product.
You can watch someone show you how to do something, like a project you are working on. Instead of listening, you can see it!

We previously purchased Echo and Echo Dot. I was excited to purchase the Show to see how it measured up to our other devices. The volume of the Show seems comparable to the Echo but what I appreciate with the Show is the way the lyrics display on the screen like karaoke. I also like the news updates that flash across the screen while Show is in standby mode. I’ve accessed news stories more with the Show than I ever have with the Echo or Dot. The ability to watch YouTube and videos on the Show is another feature I like. I keep Show in the kitchen so I’ve watched videos while cooking. I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this echo show for Christmas. I have found it extremely useful for watching videos on how to make recipes and being able to do face to face conversations well in my own home with family and friends in other locations I also like being able to have a timer set and reminder set when my hands are full cooking. I highly recommend this to my family and friends in fact I bought them as gifts last Christmas

I purchased this for my mom to help her make lists and makes sure she added all appointments to her calendar. Alexa works perfect for everything my mom needs help with.

Bought this for my mother who is not computer savvy. Wanted to have an easy way to keep up and see what other family members out of state are doing. Just had to have them get the Alexa app.

The Show is an Interesting New Alexa Device

The Show is the new Alexa Device with a video screen. I like being able to see a screen when you ask questions, and you can view videos too. I also like that you can see the temperature, and date without having to ask. I like you can view a video of a recipe, not just see text. The one item missing from this great device is the capability to hook it up to your surround audio system.
I have two dots and love them. The Show would be perfect if I could also hook it up to my audio system. Even though this feature does not exist, it still is a great product.

The visuals entice utilizing the product with greater frequency. Easy to set up and works well. There should be a manual to accompany the product. Going online encourages the purchase of a book of directions, rather than a simple online manual.

This was on sale due to the new one being out. And although I've never had this one before and I've seen some of the upgrades, they didn't impress me enough to pass up the chance to get this for less than $100. I love that I can watch hulu and amazon on this, I can call people and video chat with them and even see certain things and visuals that this offers. I love this product.

I love the echo show! I got two as a gift from my fiancé. It’s wonderful because I can drop in to one room to see what’s going on and he can drop in to me to see what’s going on. The sound is great. I love to see the headlines on the echo show. I like to hear the music and see the lyrics as well. There are so many things you can do on the echo show. I think it’s a must buy!

If you want a device to make your home a smart one, look no further. The echo show sounds great and controls my lights, tv and other stuff I’ll incorporate later.
