    Love My Echo with Screen

    The Alex echo device with screen is the best device going, it helps with alarms for work in the mornings and reminds me to take my medications at night time. I love the daily news reports, weather reports and can’t forget the Amazon music at anytime of the day you ask and she plays. Turns on and off lights with the plug smart device paired to the echo. And last but not least the alex alerts with my ring doorbell she announces who is at your door it actually shows my ring doorbell on my Amazon fire tv and also the echo screen to see who is at your door. So I guess by now you can say I really really like this device, it’s a must have.

    I got this free with my tv purchase. I didnt really know how it worked until I plugged it in. It's great! I have it on my desk and provides info time/temperature and even brings up my amazon purchases. It has a great little screen that you can actually watch programs on! listen to music.etc. got something I didnt initially need but now can't do without!

    I have 3 of these. I put one each of the bedrooms. The sound quality is great for the compact size. I also like that it connects to the Ring Door bell, so I can see who it is and talk to them through this Echo Show. I also have the 8 and 15. I think if you're on budget with little room on your desk and/or nightstand, this works perfectly. If you want more sound and screen get the 8. The 15 is only good for the kitchen.

    The PERFECT Size

    If you aren't familiar with the Amazon Echo line of products, they are great and I strongly recommend them. As originally a voice assistant, the Echo line has grown and does so much more than simply answer your questions especially now with the benefit of a screen. I own a couple of Echo Show's and use them specifically in the bedroom, kitchen and now with this purchase, my home office. Like all the Echo's it's basically plug and play and very easy to setup. For this particular purchase, I wanted the Echo show but needed a smaller size to sit on my desk. This fit the bill perfectly. Delivery was early and arrived packaged well with no damage. I was concerned at first with the display before it arrived hoping it would be large enough for me to easily see (I have bad eyes and bifocals) and I'm happy to report it's PERFET. Very easy to read and plenty big enough to see what's going on but small enough that it's out of the way and doesn't take up valuable desk area. I can't comment on the camera as I don't use it in this instance but everything else about the Echo is great. I've customized it with pictures as well as my sports teams and things I'm interested in along with creating a couple routines. It's nice to step into the office and simply say, "Alexa, start my day" and the routine I've setup gives me the info I'm looking for each morning. I'm sure this sounds like an Amazon advertisement (no I don't work for Amazon), but it's really a great product and I would highly recommend it.

    It is one on my favorite Amazon devices. When I first got it I was happy I could sit it on my desk while working from home and enjoy my streaming apps. It also comes in handy with every day tasks. I now mostly use it for my LED lights but still a all over great product that help me control my Amazon tv now that I lost the remote

    So fat, I love it! I’ve only done a few things so far, such as using it as an alarm, instead of my iPhone. I really like being able to just talk to it and set or cancel alarms without even touching the device. I’ve also connected it to my iPhone 11 and used it as a Bluetooth speaker. It sounds great, especially for how small it is. I will definitely be expanding the ways in which I use it.

    Bought this unit to replace an older unit. Like the sleek profile and it’s got pretty good sound! Nice to use as an alarm clock, play music, and control the house temp via my ecobee home thermostat. Even have our ring doorbell connected to it. Like that it connects to both my Spotify and XM radio accounts too. Happy so far!

    Perfect size for a bedroom, but not what you're looking for if you want to replace an alarm clock. Screens will alternate, so time isn't always visible. The angle also is not the best for video calls if on a typical tabletop. But it does its job as an Alexa device. Can hear you clearly from far away and respond with great accuracy.

    I wasn't a huge fan of the Alexa products due to privacy concerns but I seem to use it more and more each day. It is very convenient and picture quality is very impressive. It's basically an Alexa and small television combined. Very handy.
