    Just went and picked the Echo today because it was on sale. Played a few songs on it and then told it turn screen off. Once I turned screen off, it never came on. Yelled Alexa at it, tried using buttons, eventually unplugged it, and still not working. Did factory reset and now it’s stuck in boot loop. Save your money and don’t buy this off brand Android clock. Glad it broke while I can still return it. Says it plays Apple Music which it does not. Don’t believe me just try it, and you’ll return it too. Amazon<Siri+Google

    Our Echo Show started cutting off in mid sentences and doesn't finish. We have bought two other Echo Shows, along with 2 echo dots and have not had a bit of trouble.

    We purchased the Alexa Echo to benefit from the compatibility with the ring products that we have, which worked fine, but the Alexa part was extremely frustrating, to say the least. Alexa can’t answer the majority of the questions asked. After a week of frustration, we returned the Alexa system and purchased Google products and are much happier. We’ve had a google home for about 5 years and there is just no comparison between the Google and Alexa.

    Good Concept, Poorly Executed....

    We bought two to use along with Blink Mini for video surveillance of our babies. It kept cutting out and losing connection, and mind you I have a full WiFi system in our house boasting speeds of over 200mbps all the way outside, so it has nothign to do with our wireless speeds. It's a wonderful concept, but much like Alexa was 5 years ago, poorly executed.

    Alexa in this device is moody. Sometimes talks sometimes not. Can’t easily change the music by voice command. Keep playing the same song. Sometimes she don’t listen to your simple command. I thought it’s just me but even to my wife. This device need hearing aid. Keep disconnecting to wifi. My echo dot is the best, i put it in my garage far from my router but wifi connection wise is the best. i love it but this show is not.

    The item was to be used for an elderly parent but was extremely difficult to operate... Not the quick touch that I anticipated. I am not a novice with technology, but worked on the set up for 2 hours, to no avail. I spent a solid hour on the phone with customer service and they were unable to help. I returned the product.

    Returned it. Thought it would be a nice gift for my father so he could Facetime me and his grandkids. Tried setting it up for him at Christmas only to discover that if you want to video call someone, they too must also have an Amazon echo. I don't know anyone who has an Echo Show, so it was a waste. Should be make compatible with facetime video.
