    Only complaint is that the app we needed (eufy) wasn't available on Amazon. But our ingenious installers found a way.

    Function too limited to be >$400

    Extremely limited function. Voice control needed for certain options and occasionally it is completely unresponsive and needs to be unplugged to reset. Limited control of apps. See the first picture in the Best Buy description. There is no way to have a full calendar stay displayed and you can't resize the left half which is intended for news feeds, shopping, etc. If you turn those options off, it's a half page picture with clock. Silk browser is also severely limited such as no auto-play.

      Dear MrCool,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about the Echo Show 21. We appreciate your thorough review and understand your concerns about the device's functionality relative to its price point.

      The specific issues you've highlighted regarding calendar display limitations, screen customization restrictions, and Silk browser constraints are valuable feedback for our product team. The need to occasionally reset the device through unplugging is certainly not ideal for a premium device.

      We would encourage you to contact our technical support team at 1 888 280-4331 regarding the unresponsiveness issues, as this is not normal behavior and could potentially be resolved.fg

      Thank you again for your candid feedback. We strive to provide products that deliver value commensurate with their price point, and your insights help us work toward that goal. AmazonDevices

    All I got to say is Google is more smarter than Alexa. When I add Alexa certain things, she doesn't know the answer but when it comes to the same question on Google she knows it so I'm not liking that very well. So as soon I'm getting done making payments I'm going to sell it. I'm sticking to my Google things!

      Hi RavenP, I'm really sorry to hear that your Alexa experience hasn't been what you expected so far, but we've got some exciting news! We will soon be rolling out Alexa+, an updated version of our Alexa voice assistant that’s powered by generative AI. This means it’ll be more natural and conversational, understanding context and remembering your preferences. Plus, it can even respond to emotions, providing you with personalized support. We hope you'll find this update much more in line with what you envisioned when you got your device! Have a great day! AmazonDevices

      Hello AnthonyW,
      Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Show 21. I am sorry to hear the Alexa feature was not working smoothly for you. To fix an unresponsive Echo Show 21 (specifically with Alexa+ features), restart the device by unplugging it for 30 seconds, check for software updates, and ensure a stable 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi connection. If issues persist, verify that Alexa+ is active in the Alexa app or perform a hard reset by holding the microphone off and volume down buttons. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. AmazonDevices

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DEVICE. I HAD TO RETURN THE FIRST ECHO SHOW I HAD DUE TO THE UNIT NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND NOT FOLLOWING COMMANDS. THIS SECOND ECHO SHOW IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST ECHO SHOW. THERE IS AN INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE ECHO SHOWS. RETURN IT BEFORE YOUR RETURN WINDOW EXPIRES.

      Hello PamelaW! I am so sorry that you have had issues with each of your Echo Show 21 devices so far. These devices may need to be updated to the latest software out to ensure that you do not have issues like these. You can check this by swiping down from the top of the screen and navigating to Settings>Device Options>Check for Software Updates. This usually fixes any possible issues you may be experiencing but if it does not, then I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting. There is not currently a known issue such as what you are experiencing with this model so hopefully this helps gets you the support you need to resolve your issue. Thank you so much for your time and feedback and I hope you have a fantastic day! AmazonDevices

    FAR TOO MANY obvious data collection questions.

    “Have you ever ridden a horse before?”, “Do you salt your food?”, “Do you prefer large or small dogs?” While it seems kinda cool (to a degree) to see if you’re in the higher percentage of not, I’ve NEVER seen a more blatant grab for advertising information from any device. I purchased this item to give ME info. Instead it appears I’ve overpaid for one to extract my information. : (

    My wife saw this product on TikTok and wanted it for no reason. We bought it and it's not worth the money. The calendar is so small and the widgets are limited. This was a horrible purchase.
