    Because of the Covid, I boughr this for my wife and her mom for Mother's Day, so they could continue easier communication. They like to see each other, so this is a useful way to accomplish this.

    This Echo is just the right size for an end-table or night stand. Also adds a bonus to our Ring cameras to be viewed without using my phone. Helps pull together more of my smart home design.

    Really like the smaller size of the product. Though it is small the view on the unit is very good. Using on my nightstand and love how easily it is integrated with the Ring doorbell.

    Setup in the beginning to update is a bit longer than usual, but otherwise once you get everything hooked up and setup correctly to the application, it's super easy and simple to use. I use the voice function only now and haven't had to touch it manually with my hands ever since setting it up. Also works really well with Ring.

    I recommend the show device as it enhances the overall Alexa experience. The show comes quite handy as an additional interface. It can be customized and linked to your camera devices.

    Love it and the price was great.... had a problem and got on chat and they called me and got the problem solved. Sometimes just powering down and then back on solves the problem.

    We have had a echo dot for a while. But the screen is great, we can see Ring door notifications live on the screen, and having visible song lyrics and weather info is a nice addition to the Echo family.

    I like the smaller version of Alexa Echo. It has all the functions of previous echo device. Will definitely recommend to family who wants to see their love ones via video call.

    I Should’ve Bought it Sooner!

    Reading other reviews, I thought maybe this would be too small, and maybe an overall pointless buy. I ordered it anyway, and I’m SO glad I did! It’s about the same size as my iPhone 11, and you can adjust the screen brightness to your liking. The physical buttons (up and down volume buttons, privacy toggle to turn the camera off / on and a button that toggles whether the device will listen for the word “Alexa”) are simple and the on-screen UI is intuitive enough. When I’m unsure how to do something, I literally just ask Alexa and she tells me how to do it. I love my Echo Show and am seriously considering buying a second one for the kitchen!

    A ton of applications for this product including the ability to "ask Alexa" and listen to music, either through Amazon or Spotify. Versatile product, and would definitely buy again.

    Love it. Have a echo dot 3 for a while but did not know what I was missing having a display. Got this to go with my ring doorbell 3 and it works great for that and everything else.

    Purchase this a few weeks ago and it has definitely come in handy when I’m too lazy to check the weather myself. “Hey, Alexa” is my new favorite saying. Now if only it could go to work for me and do my errands

    works great ordered it on the deal of the day but one get one. Easy to use and set up wanted it for video calls mainly with the family. Screen resolution is okay and camera quality is alright. Smaller then I thought closer to the size of a large cell phone. If looking for a bigger screen I’d recommend the echo 8.

    I bought it on sale from Best Buy Southfield but had to return it because they tried to charge me $30 more to get the same item in a different color instead of exchanging it for me. But the one I got off Amazon works fine. We use it for calls, music, alerts, recipes, and more. I would definitely recommend purchasing one.
