I’ve been using the Amazon Echo Show 21 for a few weeks now, and I’ve got to say—this thing is a game-changer in my kitchen.
First off, the screen is massive. At 21 inches, it's bigger than some monitors I’ve used, and it really shines when I’m following recipes, watching YouTube while cooking, or checking in on my calendar and to-do lists. The full HD display is bright and sharp enough that I can easily read or watch from across the room.
The built-in Fire TV is a great touch. I wasn’t expecting to use this for serious streaming, but it surprised me. It runs all the major apps—Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu—and it’s become a second TV when the main one is occupied.
Sound-wise, it’s good, not amazing. Loud and clear enough for podcasts or background music while I cook, but don’t expect deep bass or super rich audio. Still, for a smart display, it does the job well.
Where it really shines is in the smart home and Alexa integration. I’ve hooked it up to my smart lights, Ring camera, and thermostat, and now I can control everything with a quick voice command. Plus, the big screen makes video calls feel more natural—especially with the camera auto-framing during conversations.
A couple of small gripes: it’s big and heavy, so finding the right spot was a bit of a challenge, and it doesn’t come with a stand—which feels cheap for the price. You’ll probably want one to tilt it just right.

If you're looking for something to keep all your family appointments and activities organized, the Amazon Echo Show is the perfect thing. We bought this because using our old white board calendar got to be a pain and we eventually stopped updating it. The Echo Show is awesome because you can updated it from your Alexa app on your phone so it's easy to keep up to date while you're out and about. We love the Reminder and To-Do lists. We've even started keeping our shopping list on it. So glad we finally got this, we've been looking at it for about a year and finally decided to just get it.

I absolutely love my Echo Show 21! The screen size is incredible — perfect for video calls, watching shows, recipes in the kitchen, or even just displaying family photos. The sound is rich and clear, and Alexa is faster and smarter than ever. It’s become the centerpiece of our home. Whether we’re checking cameras, playing music, or managing smart devices, it does it all effortlessly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a smart home upgrade!

The new Echo Show 21 is beyond anything I expected. The features, ease of use and the new Alexa + is very useful and practical. Bought it for my wife and I to help organize appointments and tasks using the calendar. But, it does so much more and it’s very user friendly. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to organize their busy lifestyle.

I recently bought the Echo Show 21 for my niece, and it’s been great. The large screen makes video calls feel more personal, and the sound quality is really good. She uses it for watching shows, controlling smart home devices, and even as a digital photo frame. Alexa responds quickly, and the display is clear and bright. Overall, it’s a solid device that does everything we expected.

I absolutely love this new Echo Show 21 which has become the main device/hub in my Alexa ecosystem. I can view and monitor all linked cameras and video doorbells. I can also control my smart doorlocks at the touch of a screen.
The FireTV feature helps me catch up on my steaming lists while i prepare dinner.
It is absolutely one of the best devices for Alexa users available! The sound quality is amazingly crisp and brilliant.
Setup was an absolute breeze!

My wife is absolutely thrilled with the upgraded version of her Echo 8, now the Echo 21. This latest model offers substantial improvements in various aspects, such as enhanced sound quality and an upgraded display that makes watching shows a far more enjoyable experience. One of the standout features is its ability to seamlessly stream popular apps like Peacock, Netflix, and Disney+, catering to all our family's entertainment needs.
We’ve all found ways to incorporate it into our daily routines. Whether I’m catching up on a series while cooking dinner or my kids enjoy a movie during family time, the Echo 21 has become an essential part of our household. It also makes multitasking in the kitchen a breeze, allowing us to follow recipes and manage tasks effortlessly while staying entertained. Overall, it’s a fantastic addition to our home that truly enhances our daily activities.

We originally tried the Skylight calendar, which wound up being a massive nightmare on the software side. So I thought I would try this. I’m glad I did. The installation was really easy. They give you a terrific bracket. I would just make sure that if you are going to install this on the wall that you have plenty of space with a large receptacle because the power brick is pretty large. It’s a 30 W and I think it’s at least 2 1/2“ x 2 1/2“, so it’s not gonna fit into the standard in wall receptacle. If you’re doing it yourself, bring the charger with you to the store. If you use echo devices, it works alongside really well. How this performs incredibly well is this is in our kitchen. It allows our family to see everything on our schedule and we use apple’s iCloud and it sinks seamlessly and brings up all the calendars even in the different colors. Alexa also will add to your iCloud so the integration is very very good if you have a ring camera there is a widget where you can keep an eye on your cameras from there. We a lot of the times like to have pictures going or art. I really hope I can find some kind of beautiful basil to put around it because I don’t really care for the black. It was really easy to set up, the audio is very good surprisingly.

Overall this is the most utilized electronic we have in our household. We use this daily between the calendar, music, recipes, videos and more!! I love that it’s an Alexa product and anything I need, Alexa can get it for me. Alexa can read me a recipe step by step, making dinner a breeze. We can listen to music as we do chores around the house. Keep track of all activities and appointments. Display family pictures. Anything you can think of can be done with this device. You can connect it to your home thermostat, use it to turn lights on and off! Absolutely amazing!!! The only thing that never worked was the remote that comes with it but I still feel like it deserves a 5 star regardless.

I'm seriously impressed with this product. The screen size alone makes a huge difference. Everything looks crystal clear, from recipes to security camera feeds. It basically became the command center to my living room.
Setup was fast, and the Alexa response time is quicker than my older Echo device.
What I really love is how much it helps keep my family organized. The shared calendar, reminders, and to do list show up big and bright so everyone sees them.
The speaker surprised me. The sounds fills the room way better than I expected, perfect for music while cleaning or cooking. And the design looks clean and modern.
Overall, this is one of those products that actually makes daily life easier. Worth every penny.

Setting up the Show was so easy. I have it in my kitchen - it perfect for keeping the family calendar, creating my grocery list and a ton of other stuff. It controls the smart lights in my home, gives me a giant 21” screen to looks up favorite recipes and I have downloaded my streaming apps and can watch my favorite movies and shows while Im in the kitchen. Its awesome!

Upgraded from the 1st gen Show 15. I love the size of the screen and the bass and sound seem improved. I like that I was able to use previous wall mount for this one so I did not have to add more holes in the walls. Seems a lot quicker compared to previous version as well. Only complaint I have is the price is a little steep.

I'm loving my new Amazon Echo! This is my first time owning one, and I'm blown away by its features. The big screen is a game-changer, it's so much fun to use! I can easily connect it to my Ring doorbell, which is amazing. I use the Echo as a hub for my doorbell, and it's so convenient to see who's at the door.
But what really gets me excited is using it as entertainment for my kids. I've connected all their favorit apps, and it's become a central hub for fun and learning. We watch shows, play games, and explore educational contents together. The possiblities are endless

The 21” model has a TV built-in. When you use the calendar in the kitchen this also lets you watch TV while cooking or lets you have the recipe large enough to see it.
Remember that this needs to be plugged into an outlet.
