   Perfect Assistant

   I purchased this July 6, 2023 when it was on sale for $162.99. My Echo Show which was one of the originals from years ago stopped working. That was a sad day for me since I really relied on it as a personal assistant. I knew I couldn’t be without an Echo Show and had to purchase a new one. I love this new version. it took several attempts to connect to my Network, but I didn’t give up and it finally connected. I’m extremely happy with my purchase. The screen is large and the sound quality is outstanding.

   How do you not have one of these?!

   Best Amazon product! LOVE it! I had one of the original 10″ units that I used every day until it started to get burns on the screen. I waited for Prime Day and bought this to replace. This one is even cooler. It follows you when you move. Too cool.

   Com Se Com Sa

   Prior to this the household has the Gen 1 & 10″ Gen 2 Echo Shows, frankly I prefer the Gen 2 10″ Echo Show for most rooms over this model, but then…with firmware improvement/updates that opinion may change.Other than the slight reduction in sound (I could care, I have multiple Sonos speakers) and screen resolution (as others have pointed out), the overriding feature of this iteration of Echo Show is the camera and 360 degree motion.The camera is outstanding in resolution, very outstanding, worth the reduction in sound and screen resolution.Motion however, needs work, the hardware used in this device to detect stability and motion needs serious firmware tweaking, way to sensitive, everything is “unstable”, even the most stable. Understanding the need to be cautious, in that this slues around, to follow or view it’s human or humans, however, ratchet the sensitivity down some to avoid the error messages that are unfounded when the device is on a stable, unimpeded full motion area. Currently if it even rocks a millimeter when turning, it throws the “unstable” error. I ordered two of these 10″ Gen 3 Echo Shows, both are behaving in this fashion. A little tweaking to the firmware of the device should solve this little sensitivity issue I would hope. This is not a game changer for me, this will be refined as customer feedback is received, or at least I have found that their development team is very responsive to these consumer observations. Kudos to them for that.Next, that obnoxious, unnecessary screen of “Alexa For Your Day”, for the love of every customer that you have, get rid of this, please, it is not a selling feature. Or, at least give us the option to have it show or not show in the Home Screen toggle switch section of the settings. It really is a “bummer dude”…… if it keeps it up, it could be a game changer for me.I can live with the HUGE time notification on the screen, I am old, but not blind, can we scale it down or have an option to scale it down, please, thank you. Not a game changer, but it is quite large you must admit…All in all for the kitchen or the main floor/office in houses this is a great device, allows camera viewing 360 degrees, great idea for those who do not have indoor cameras already and as an adjunct for those of us who do. Have not used it for recipes in the kitchen yet, but I suspect that this will be a vast improvement over the Gen 2 10″ Echo Show, in that it will follow me in my meandering attempt to cook (hopefully it will not catch me crying on the kitchen floor over cooking fiascos). Phone calls to other Echo Show owners should be improved as I meander when talking to folks as well… I believe as the feedback rolls in, there will be improvements to screen data that pops up uninvited (please, pretty please), and the motion sensitivity concerns.I am pleased with this purchase, but most likely will replace the rest of my Gen 1 Echos with Gen 2 10″ Echo Shows, this model has limited placement criteria and may not be the best Echo for every spot in the house. I will purchase one additional 10″ Gen 3 Echo Show for my office, but for bedrooms the Gen 2 10” Echo Show should be sufficient.As for the white cord, I can live with that all day long…aesthetics in this area are the least of my worries….

    Gimmicky and Slow. Can’t actually do what the picture shows.

    — UPDATE: (8/1) I received a call claiming to be from Amazon about my review, but the first thing they wanted me to do was confirm my name and account info – MAJOR RED FLAG. I declined, and asked for details and the caller hung up. However, I got a follow-up email from Amazon customer service that mentioned the phone call, and sought to “help resolve the issues you’ve encountered and gather any additional feedback”. Unfortunately, that email included no information addressing any of the issues below. As far as I can tell the CS agent read neither my review, nor Amazon’s public statements warning users not to disclose account information to callers from unknown numbers. —–***What I wanted:***A “third screen” organizer that could show me a dashboard of calendar entries, weather, to do, etc. Maybe something like THE PICTURES THEY USE TO ADVERTISE IT (See Pic #2 – “Taylor’s Birthday” displayed next to weather, a podcast, and the time). Also, a screen to play YouTube or Twitch videos as I putter on something else.***What I got:*** – Home screen is ONLY a rotating set of cards. You have no other options. There is no dashboard style option, no quick launch (you can use “Tap to Alexa” as a really mediocre one, kinda). The assumption is that in a world of touchscreens you must only want to shout at your devices. – The Home screen is not even in your control. You can add pictures, and turn off some things, but Amazon will also randomly add whatever nonsense they think you want. You cannot adjust the rotation speed. Heck, you can’t even make the clock overlay bigger. – You cannot add utility to this home screen. You can’t add widgets (they only live on a slide-out panel, and that closes after 10s). You can’t adjust how the time and weather are displayed, or set the calendar slide to show things in a useful view. You can’t add a big easy “Open my YouTube Playlist” button. You get pictures, ads, and gimmicks – end of list. – That dashboard view (“Taylor’s Birthday”) from Amazon’s promotional materials – THIS DEVICE DOESN’T DO THAT – You can technically watch YouTube, eventually. That is until it crashes. Because you need to use Silk, since they didn’t include an app for the #2 site on the internet. (Actually, this runs on Android so they REMOVED that stock functionality) – You can Technically view Twitch, in that the website loads for a few minutes. But you cannot login or use chat because Twitch.tv does not support the Silk browser. Yes, they are both owned by Amazon. – The screen follows you around the room, or your dog, or any noise, or no noise. It also tries to follow you while you’re using the touch screen so you end up chasing it back and forth. – Interacting with this thing is so SLOOOOOW – How is a new device this underpowered? – Sure, it does Video calls… which I don’t care about because I already have a phone and I spend all day on MS Teams. – Technically it has Follow-along recipes… No, not the recipes I have on my phone, or the one I found online. There’s no way to share a link to this thing, and If I find a video on YouTube, I can’t really even watch it.This isn’t even the nitpicky stuff, like when my headphones power off at 2 AM Alexa insists that we all wake up and hear about it, and there’s no way to disable it.Once you get past the gimmick turntable base, this thing is slow, unresponsive, buggy, and very limited in functionality. It is the epitome of “Technically does what we promised, but not the way you probably want it to, or very well at all”.Most of the “Skills” (Apps) are slower than just taking your phone out of your pocket. “Is it going to rain?”Option A: Look at your phone: picture of rain clouds on the weather widget – 2 seconds.Option B: Ask Alexa – “Right now in your area it’s 64 degrees and partly cloudy with light wind…” only after slowly describing what can be seen out of any window will she tell you if it’s going to rain. And that’s *only* if she heard you correctly! There’s a good chance you’ll get “Shuffling songs by the Weatherman and similar artists, on Amazon Music” instead.Despite being built on an android OS, so much basic functionality has been stripped out of this thing it’s infuriating. I can get apps on my WATCH that are easier to use and faster than the barely functional “Skills” I can occasionally find from 3rd parties since there is almost no support for this thing. Everything I figure should work out of the box requires sideloading something to connect to IFTTT so I can get another device to do the actual work. Heck, even YouTube – most sites tell you that “You can make YouTube music work, just Bluetooth connect your phone to the echo!” because the Echo refuses to run anything that isn’t some gimmicky “Read me my email slowly” or “display rotating pictures” nonsense.I cannot stress this enough: The best digital experience I can achieve with the Echo Show is by leaning my aging Samsung Tablet against it and launching the stock YouTube app.

    Fantastic Echo Show

    Honestly, the echo show 10 is by far the best echo out there. The sound quality is amazing, the screen quality is amazing, and the ability to follow you around the room so, you can still see the screen. Plus, video chatting with someone, you don’t have to stay within camera site, it will move with you. It’s kind of weird but, it works great. The screen tilts, to your desired angle as well. Just a wonderful product. Amazon rules

    Good features and fine sound.

    Good features and fine sound. It should be positioned for use in a well- lighted area…It is not designed to be a bedroom echo….it doesn’t rotate in the dark….or lowlight…so if you go to bed and there is limited lighting the echo will not turn to face your direction…I have never had an incident of erroneous ordering with an echo device until now. The echo ordered a 19.99 movie which I did not interact nor want….thank goodness the amazon staff can check if a movie was watched…the movie was never watched and I responded within a few hours….I was credited the 19.99.I am finding it much more difficult of late to reach actual people for amazon assistance…that is unfortunate and somewhat frustrating.

    If it didn’t have ads, I would have given it five stars

    My first Alexa….day one I almost boxed it back up and sent it back…. Hated all the ads but Instead I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and realized I could remove most of them. And now that I have discovered the many things I can do with my Alexa it’s growing on me. I do wish the touchscreen was smoother and as stated there were NO ads. That’s why I’m only giving this a Fourth star

    It’s okay–not great, but okay.

    I’ve got 9 Echo devices in my home. I’ve been using Echos (and upgrading to the latest models) since they were first made available. This Echo Show 10 replaced an Echo Show 8 (1st Generation) in my kitchen. I use it multiple times each day to play Spotify, listen to radio (via TuneIn), set timers, etc. The sound quality is very good and I place it only slightly behind my Echo Studio + Echo Sub pair as it pertains to sound quality.The screen is, likewise, excellent. I have my Show 10 set to rotate a series of fine art prints I’ve uploaded to Amazon Photos and the colors really pop and look gorgeous on the screen. I find this feature really enhances the ambiance in my kitchen and every time I glance at the screen and see a piece of art I’m glad I purchased the device. I like the screen being larger than the Show 8, although I don’t think I’d recommend an expensive “upgrade” merely for the screen size.I have read that many people dislike the number of ads or stories that the Show 10 displays. You can go into settings and select the content you want to see. I’ve reduced it to only weather and news–everything else is turned off. I almost never see ads and feel that this type of criticism is unwarranted. My Show 10 (like my Show 8) displays content I’ve allowed and almost nothing more.The Echo Show 10 loses a star for voice responsiveness. I have it placed in a corner that is pretty wide and open–it’s not obstructed in any way. Unfortunately, about 30% of the time the device doesn’t “hear” a command when I’m standing 4 feet away. Instead, my Echo Studio–which is in an entirely different room–responds. Sometimes it is even worse with an Echo in my bedroom (which is multiple rooms away) responding to my attempt to set a timer whilst in the kitchen. I find it very odd and frustrating. My first generation Echo (the original) did a far better job in this area than the Echo Show 10. And as far as I can tell there is no way to set the mic sensitivity via the Alexa app. That said, the positives still outweigh this negative, but I’m dropping 1 star from my rating.I’d also add that the “follow” feature in which the device’s screen moves to face you is not very compelling for me. I can envision other people finding it useful, but for me it seems more like a gimmick. The device is generally reliable following me, but whenever it reaches the edge of the boundary I set it flashes a giant warning message that I’m out of range. That large pop-up is really annoying and there is no way to turn it off. If it didn’t flash that warning literally EVERY time I work in the kitchen I might be able to overlook it–as it is, it’s just a reminder that Amazon has failed to improve the device. There should be a way to turn off that notification.The Echo Show 10 is a decent device, but I’m not so sure of the value proposition. Adding a motor to turn the screen increases complexity and cost yet the benefits of this design are not compelling. And because this is the only device in the Echo lineup to employ this feature, Amazon hasn’t really prioritized improving Echo Show 10 functionality. I don’t know what is going on with the mic sensitivity, but it’s not as good as it should be. The sound quality, however, is solid, and the screen is decent and a great size.

    Not Compatible with EufyCam E

    The item worked fine for what it was supposed to do with the exclusion of displaying EufyCam E livestream. I bought this Echo Show 10 in the hopes that the issue had been resolved but not to be. I’ve found on the Eufy support site that the EufyCam E is not supported with the Echo Show. However, in communicating with the Eufy support group, I was told by one person that the EufyCam E is their first gen camera and doesn’t work with the Echo Show 10. After inquiring as to would the EufyCam E work with the 1st or 2nd gen Echo Show, I was told that all EufyCam cameras are supposed to work with the Echo Shows. Sooooo who really knows? It’d be nice if Eufy and Amazon could get their stuff together and make the compatibility happen! I will be returning this Echo Show 10 unfortunately.

    Great Sound and Fairly Useful…

    UPDATE 4-17-21: Still working fine, no issues. Only thing I wish, is that I had just waited a month to purchase this as it went on sale super quick for $50 less. What’s the point of being an early adopter if it’s a negative?! I’d rather have just waited; next time I will. ;(UPDATE 3-30-21: Our Video Apps Crashing issue came back, so I contacted Amazon again and they decided it would be best to replace the unit. A new one will be here in another day, so I can see if that one has any issues. I do like the Show 10, but I’m a little less smitten with it then I thought I would be. Again, the motion part is not as useful as one would like due to it’s ability to actually track you properly without getting lost. I do really enjoy having a device to watch something in the kitchen while chilling out or cooking, and playing music on it is actually quite nice. Maybe it just needs to grow on me some more, and absolutely have the video apps stop crashing that is a definite.So we’ve had this for a month now. It’s been fun to get to use it and see what it can do. That being said, it’s not as useful as I thought it would be. This is much less a tablet and more a media player. You can’t customize it like a Kindle or other tablets and put your own apps on it. It does play music really well and it does okay with smart home stuff. But that is an Alexa issue not Echo Show problem. I was hoping we had more customization with this but the OS is pretty closed loop.Motion: Hit or Miss. it will follow you when you tell it to, but it will lose you easily, especially if you are too close to the unit or move to rapidly. There is a happy space of probably about 5ft to 8ft where it will follow you well. Too close and it will focus on something else, same thing for too far away. It loses you and once it does it forgets who it was following. Too many people around can confuse it as well. If it’s just you and your cleaning dishes or cooking, you should be okay.Video: we had an issue with our unit crashing any video app such as Prime Video or Netflix after about 5-8mins of watching something. It would just go back to the home screen and forget what you were watching. If you started the app up again you had to start back from where you began as it would not save your progress. Calling support just recommended a factory reset which was going to be our next step anyways, and so far that has corrected the crashing.Security: it’s easy enough to view the camera on the Show and move it left or right to see what’s around the area. Just remember you can’t move the screen up or down remotely, so if it tilted too far up it will limit your view. Otherwise it works well, and the screen notifies you when someone is remotely viewing on the screen.Customization: Meh, it’s okay but will take some time getting used to the OS. It works like a tablet in the fact you tap or swipe to get to stuff, but again you can’t add any apps from an App Store. The OS is locked to what it is, and maybe that’s a good thing so it doesn’t get corrupted by junk we all like to add. Still, it limits the functionality and use of this device.Overall: It’s a sound bar with a video display that can control smart home apps. The sound is really good, loud and crisp. Video is nice and smooth and if you have issues try a reset of the device. Not as full featured as a full on tablet, but pretty good over all. I gave it a four star rating. Really it’s a 4.5, but not a full 5 so I’m not picking that just because they don’t give us half ratings to use. It’s not cheap at $250 new right now, but it is worth the price if you want a good setup for say the kitchen or other room except for living room.

    Love the large touch screen, but topples easily…

    We love this Echo, but it’s not kid or pet friendly as it topples over very easily if a table is bumped hard or pushed. It’s supposed to follow you around the room but that needs a bit of work. In all this time we never got it to follow us correctly. Wonderful picture and sound quality, though.

    I like it but can’t get wake-up words to work for me.

    I have a speech impediment and it cannot recognize any of the wake-up words. If I try long enough, I might get a response, but it’s exhausting. It understands me fairly well once it wakes up. I can use an app on my phone to say the wake-up word for me, but it’s inconvenient. There should be an alternative method to wake up for people like me. Maybe a tap button on the screen.

    The screen on this is phenomenal.

    I picked this up during Amazon prime days and I am very happy with the display. My goal was to have a device that would easily show my photos and this excels at that task.The reason I gave it 4 stars is more of an Alexa issue. I really wish that Amazon would find a way to allow me to not see sponsored content. I don’t think it’s fair to show that given the amount of money I paid for the device.And I wish that Amazon would let me turn off certain news sources, as they have proven to be spreading misinformation and I do not wish to see that either.

    Good idea, horrible implementation…

    First the camera is offset, so the screen is always offset when it follow you, that is when it does actually follow you, because more than half of the time it does not, and God forbid you try to touch the monitor, because it will constantly tell you the screen has bumped into something… It has way too many bugs in the software … I am not at all impressed with this update, because it doesn’t seem like a lot of thought went into this model!BUT … My biggest gripe has to do with the electrical cord, it is way too short, and plugs into the bottom of the base, which is also insanely difficult to reach without the monitor swinging all around, and good forbid you have to unplug it for any reason, because it will constantly make you put in your password over and over!I am sorry, but this update is a big fail! It is definitely not ready for consumers! They really should have worked out the bugs before releasing it to the public! This unit truly seems like it should be in beta testing still, because it has way too many issues that need to be addressed!Update: The advertisement makes it look as if you can use the device to scan one’s surroundings, when not at home, but what only the small print reveals, which most people will miss, that it only does this FOR A PRICE AND with a SUBSCRIPTION to HOME GUARD plus!At $250, this should have been included, at least for a year, free of charge! I bought this believing I could scan a room, from my mobile device, only to find out … you can’t, NOT EVEN WHEN YOU ARE AT HOME! Really Amazon, you couldn’t include that at least for a year free! As a prime member, for many years, I find this totally unacceptable, from a billion dollar company, that is charging way too much for this device! Do yourself a favor and wait until Amazon addresses the many issues and bugs this device does have at the present time!Xtra, And apparently there is no way to pair the Amazon Remote in the software! I have search high and low for a way to pair my remote, but the option is no longer in the settings on the device or app!After several months of owning this device I can say with all honesty it is the WORST device and echo show I have EVER owned!, along with the new Echo, Amazon has me truly believing it is time to cancel all my Amazon accounts, because the majority of their devices don’t work like they claim! If I have to yell one more command to turn play a show on Hulu and Netflix only to told you cannot play HULU or NETFLIX on this device, I will start looking for devices that actually do …. Amazon really needs to get on the ball, because I am quickly losing faith in all their products and services!

    If on the fence, please read. (UPDATED JUL2022)

    No se pudo cargar el archivo multimedia.

     I was enthusiastic when I ordered my Echo Show 3rd Gen. It was supposed to be a robot but not quite. Awesome speakers, great camera, rotating screen?! I got it out of the box, set it up and although I was a bit thrown off by the white cord sticking out of the black unit like a sore thumb, I really didn’t have major issues. The problem was that after using it for a bit longer bugs started to pop out.Bugs observed:- Screen rotates past you.- Barely touching the screen for an action result in a path is blocked message.- Can’t rotate at night because if an area is lit dimly will result in motion stopping and an error message- Some error messages disappear pretty quickly- During a video call the zooming, orienting of the lenses is not quite right- Sometimes it won’t respond to the wake up word.Hardware wise though, this one is better in every regard than its predecessor, which I considered a 5 star product, so the potential is there. So, while I think they would have benefited from a bit more of development time, I think the potential is there. Hopefully, they can do a firmware update to correct the issues. At this point I am not returning it, but if you haven’t bought it, I would wait for a few updates.UPDATE JAN2022 (Raised one star):Some of the most annoying bugs have been fixed but not all of them have. However, the improvements are significant enough that I would consider purchasing another one if on sale. If not,the current Gen Show 8 is really good too.UPDATE JUL2022 (Raised another star)This is what I expected when I ordered this device. Haven’t had a bug in a while. Screen rotation is significantly better, stopping at the correct spots and following better. Additionally, a friend that ordered a current gen black Echo Show 8, received a black power cord with it; it appears that Amazon is moving in the right direction with the power cords. Given that those were my main issues with the device, I raised it a star.

    Alexa, how do you spell frustrating?

    My first real Alexa enabled product, if you don’t count my Kindle Fire… but more on that later.First, I bought two Echo Show 10s, one for our kitchen and one for grandma. They were very easy to setup and have worked well so far (4 days in). I’m definitely impressed with the design and the quality of components, from the touch screen, buttons, motion and sound. All physical aspects are very well done. Do you need a screen that moves on its own? Yes! I can’t imagine this product without motion. So far, we use the Echo Show 10 to “drop in” on grandma virtually, several times a day and every night for dinner. We love this ability! The Echo Show turns to whoever is speaking and zooms in on them, so she feels like she is right there with us and her grandchildren (not 25 feet away, outside a fish bowl). The best part of this technology is that Grandma didn’t have to learn how to answer the “video phone”, since it just connects when we want. In general, it works all by itself in her apartment (mostly) and we can control much of it remotely if needed. I do set and adjust reminders and alarms for her when needed, but beyond that we just “drop in” and say hello, whenever.So that’s the awesome part. We are discovering a few annoyances as we go, so I’ll share one that is probably unique to this product: The process of adjusting and setting the range of motion is not well thought out. If you only ever did this once and then set the thing in cement, then maybe. But we set it on a counter and have already found that it must be moved for cleaning, to temporarily get it out of the way, or for use in another position. It takes about 4 minutes to reset… which is about 3.5 minutes too long for me. The other annoyances are all about “Alexa” so I’ll mention them last.Also, I’ve described a somewhat ideal grandma use case, so keep in mind that we only live 10 minutes from grandma and have had to drop by and “fix Alexa” (turned off, moved, lost wifi, screen rotated by hand) while she and visitors are getting used to it, so it’s definitely not a set and forget type of technology, but I’m not going to reduce my rating because of that.My rating would have been 5 stars, if it wasn’t for Alexa herself and the somewhat puzzling UI design, menus, etc. Did I mention my Kindle Fire? Here’s my point. You need one to control this thing and use many of the “Alexa features” with any level of certainty. You could also use a smartphone with the Alexa app, and we actually use both, but I find the Fire is a bit easier to use. This probably isn’t news to someone who already has an Echo, but in case you are new to Alexa, using voice commands to find and select a book or other media for it to show or read by voice, to set a reminder, or just about anything beyond a few words, can be a terribly frustrating experience. It is amazing what it can do, but hopefully, engineers are still hard at work improving voice recognition and comprehension. Until then, my recommendation is to pair them. Echo Show 10 + Kindle Fire (with Alexa off on your Kindle) makes a great product together!So Alexa, how do you spell frustrating? Her dutiful answer is “F R U S T R A T I N G” but also awesome, all at the same time. She doesn’t get the joke yet… but given what she is capable of, why would she think I’m joking?

    Follows my cat and others in the room

    I have a few of the shows , 3 of the first generation and three of the second generation . They all seem to work good , but thought that maybe I might like the follow me .I unboxed this and got this set up very easy . Then I placed this on my counter to see how this looks and how well it works.I use mine mostly to watch videos while doing cooking and crafting in my kitchen . I then used the follow me , it worked great until my kitty got up and started to watch the video. When she moved it followed her and not me , I had a hard time getting the cat away from this , I was watching the Flintstones and she goes bonkers to watch them, when she was a baby kitten I would leave them on for her to have sounds while I was gone.If you have two people in the area , she will follow both and then it becomes interesting to see where she stops . After nearly a month of this I turned off the follow me , it just became a hassle when I wanted it to be centered straight.The sound is great while listening to music , that’s one nice feature.I am not sure I would buy a second one as this needs lots of space to set on my counter .The best thing on this is while streaming prime videos this just keeps going , unlike the other models they stop playing after six episodes. This is very nice and I don’t have to keep it going .I would recommend this if you have the space needed for it , otherwise I would get the other design.

    This is the third Echo Show 10 we’ve purchased – and this is the BEST!

    We started buying the Echo Show 10 (as well as other Echo Show models in the 5″ and Dot configurations) as soon as Amazon started selling them. They quickly became fixtures in our “smart home.” These new Echo Show 10 models have quickly become our favorites. We gifted our 2nd generation Echo Show 10 to my parents so we could quickly have video chats, and it’s worked out better than I could have imagined. I love how the screen moves with us no matter where I am in the room. Also, the audio quality is great, especially when listening to Audible or music. Amazon has outdone itself with this release!

    I was debating three stars or not

    This thing is great first off. It helps me remember a lot and I can set reminder on my phone via the app. And that’s why I got it in the first place.. my only but is that it doesn’t register when I ask it to do something g sometimes. Like I’ll ask it to put something on my list or set a reminder and it responds like it’s listening but it doesn’t do the action I asked it to.. I think it cost too much for this to be an issue. Aside from that I really like this thing and I haven’t even used it to it’s fullest ability yet.

    Nice hub for the living room, but needs moving space and moves ALL THE TIME! (Now UPDATED)

    So let’s look at the model Echo Show 10 itself. Thought it was going to be something like putting a tablet on top of an Apple Home Pod (first gen). Well….it’s not. Keep forgetting the Echo Show devices are not tablet user interface devices and the sound quality is not even close to the Home Pod, so just a tad disappointed with that. That said, I do really like the device. I don’t have a problem with the Echo UI, in fact i kinda like it better than a tablet. The sound isn’t bad, it just isn’t what I was hoping for after looking at the design and certainly the price point. The screen and camera quality are really quite good, although when I watch the home screen transition from one picture to another the transition is not super smooth, like maybe the processor is a little under-powered. Not sure about that one tho. The motion feature is nice that it moves to “look at” whoever in the room is talking to it (nice feature), the problem is you can turn the motion off, close the camera and still it’s gonna move to what ever section of the house has the brightest light. That is so annoying. I might want it to stay looking “at me” and not move around so I ask it to play something, turn any motion option OFF and it will eventually move anyway. Drives me up the wall. I think that could probably be addressed in a software OS fix, hopefully soon. Also, when you talk to it, it will move around a lot like it’s trying to figure out where you are exaclty. All in all, it isn’t a bad device for the living room, picture, sound, camera all nice, just needs the motion adjusted to “don’t move” means “don’t move” and they could probably upgrade the processor or maybe adjust the OS a little. If you need an Echo Show and you are only going to purchase one AND don’t need it to function as a hub, I’d go with the Echo Show 8 (2021). Otherwise, wait for some changes to this model. Gave it 4 stars for all nice features, but minus one big star for the motion. Does play live video feeds like ABC News really well, that’s a plus…and my favorite Sci-Fi (Expanse) looks amazing on it too. If they fix any issues I’ll update this review. Hope it helps.Review Update 9/3/2022: So I moved the Echo 10 into a different room where the lighting was more even and that stopped most of the moving around problems. Then one day it seemed to want to move again and when I was finished a screen popped up that asked if I wanted to change the direction limits. I said yes and it had a great feature I wasn’t aware of that let me set the boundaries to the smallest movement possible. With those two changes I have updated my 4 stars to 5. Problems solved and now I don’t have to constantly look at the back of the screen. Very happy, really like this product. Thinking about buying another one to replace an Echo 5. The 5 is amazing, but I’ve gotten to the point where I just want the biggest screen possible, thus the only reason to replace the 5. Good luck, hope this info helps!

    the “follow-me” feature is interesting, and works fairly well.

    Nice upgrade to our older Show, I like the “follow me” feature, face recognition, and larger screen. If you have register two user faces it sometimes has trouble choosing which one to follow when both are in the room and/or speaking. But still a fun upgrade.

    So much potential, wanted more

    The idea of the Echo Show 10 is such a game changer, I was ready to make it the hub of my music and entertainment center at home. Echo already controls my television remote, my lights, and my spotify. With the Show, I was expecting it to do the same with photos and other features.Unfortunately, nearly every feature I was excited about underdelivered.Photo BoothI was most excited about the idea of telling my show “Alexa, take a picture”, have it find me and my friends and snap a selfie. What a great addition to parties! And while the camera has improved, the lighting adaptation has not. Most of the photos came out extremely average if the lighting wasn’t perfect. The kind of quality I would have expected to post on my MySpace in 2006.The other great addition was the ability to tell my Show, “Alexa, take a video”. It did a good job of finding me, but every video has to end with you saying “Alexa, stop video.” I called customer service, certain that there must be a gesture I could assign, or perhaps a way to set a time and have Alexa take a 10 second video. But no, after exploring all options like “routines” and “IFTT” every video has to end with you telling Alexa to stop.There’s also no way to get the photos and videos straight to your phone, so you’re stuck waiting for it to upload to Amazon Photos, then going into your phone, opening Amazon Photos, finding what you want, then downloading, then editing the end of that video so it doesn’t end with your stop command. Clunky and unnecessary when there are so many easy ways they could have programmed all this to work better.MUSICI was excited about the lyrics feature on Amazon Music. They advertised “Have your own karaoke night!” But there are almost no karaoke songs on Amazon Music. They are plentiful on Spotify and other music services. A speaker with a screen makes karaoke such an obvious use, that it’s shocking there’s no way to do it. Either you can bring up the lyrics with the original song and vocals, or you can stream Spotify, but then the lyrics don’t come up. Looked for third party solutions, but they were all just a few karaoke songs for small children. Another wasted opportunity.SOUNDThe sound was good. I was expecting it to be more like the Echo Studio with a screen, but the speaker is much smaller. Solid, but nothing that impressive. I ended up buying the Echo Sub to pair to it and that improved the sound greatly. Now my music sounds like a sound system…IF I STREAM FROM A SERVICE.I write and produce music, so a lot of times I like to play my own music from my phone. To do that you need to pair your phone with your echo, at which point the echo acts just like a bluetooth speaker. That’s fine, except now the Echo Sub no longer works, since that connects to your echo through bluetooth as well. So that great bassy sound I get with regular music isn’t available for my own music if I play through my phone via iTunes or Soundcloud. Yet another opportunity missed.YOUTUBEYouTube…works. You access it through a web browser which is just clunky. The promise of a user friendly youtube playing all your videos and exploring and going down a youtube hole on a Friday night just doesn’t work through the browser the way a dedicated app would.FACESIt may not make sense to complain about a feature that isn’t included that was never promised, but with echo having a screen, it seems like a logical step to create skins/faces that mimic what Alexa is saying. i picture a translucent face, like Snow White’s mirror, or something cartoony. I’m surprised a third party developer wouldn’t have made something like this available, and it would give the Show that much more of a personality.Overall, I enjoy using the Echo Show 10. There seem to be a lot of kinks and falls short of its potential, but I knew that being an early adopter and purchasing the day it became available. And while most of these things are little frustrations, a big frustration is that only about a month after purchasing, Amazon has dropped the price $40, effectively punishing the early adopters for getting behind their product. That, along with my other issues, dropped my review from the five stars I wanted to give, down to the three I gave it.Hope this helps others!

    This latest Echo device can be summed up in one word – magical!

    I have owned the last two Generation Echo Shows. The Echo Show 1 & Echo Show Gen 2. The Echo Show 10 solves all the issues that the first two devices had, and adds even more features jam packed into one great device.Now before I get into the meat and potatoes — let me tell you about the truly magical experience I have had with this device. It arrived in a box almost double the size of the previous model — and this device is BIG! The screen is huge! The speaker is also apparently much more powerful than the last generation — and I can tell, that is most definitely the case.But the true magic comes when you power on and set up the Echo. The Amazon team really did wonders creating this device. Both the camera and the AI in this thing are crazy good. Assuming you have motion enabled, as soon as you say the wake word, i.e., “Alexa” the device honed in on my direction, rotated towards me, and began listening.If you walk around the room, this device follows you. You can’t understand how cool this is until you try it out. I would upload a video, but I’m sure you can look it up on YouTube, and there will likely be hundreds of reviews showcasing it here.There’s something about the tracking technology that Amazon has gotten just right. I called up my Grandma who has my old first gen echo show, and she didn’t even realize we were conversing as I was walking around my room. She thought I was just stationary the whole time. When I pointed it out and showed to her, her jaw dropped.The way the camera zooms in on you, and the range of video it can show is phenomenal. I can jump onto my bed (my echo is on my nightstand) and the echo will zoom in and focus on me. When I go off the side of my bed, it follows zooming out, and can follow my body all the way as I walk back across the room towards the device.It all feels so natural. The only thing that is missing would be if the Echo device itself moved! You can now have a conversation with someone when moving around your environment, without having to remain stationary.In a kitchen, a home gym, or anywhere you’d want to talk with someone actively, this device would be really extraordinary to play with, especially during covid times.I use my device in my room as an Alarm clock — so previously, my camera would be staring across the room as to not let me look at the screen if needed (for time/alarms, etc). Now, with the camera cover, I feel much more comfortable covering the camera and rotating the device to look towards me at night.Now, take these into consideration as you decide if you want to purchase:First, if you want to get the latest and greatest Echo device, the purchase is a no brainer. I am an Amazon loyalist, and can say that even from first impressions, this device blows all other Amazon devices I’ve owned away.Second, if you’re a user who doesn’t mind the camera being uncovered, then you’ll have no problem with this device. You’ll love it. The motion features will be left on 16/7 for me. I wouldn’t be comfortable allowing having the camera on while I’m sleeping (and staring at me), but for a public area in your home — who cares? I wouldn’t mind, I’d leave it on all day — it following you around is magical.Third, if you fall into the second issue above, you CAN use the camera cover to disable motion. If you don’t mind sliding the cover open and closed every morning/night, this could work for a nightstand alarm clock, and the hassle/inconvenience would be worth it.Pros:- Motion is magical- Camera is high definition- Sound is great. Music sounds lively. Lyrics on screen that follow you around the room- Adaptive screen dimming still works even when camera/motion is blocked/disabled- You can manually rotate the device when motion is off i.e. I’m going to bed, to point it towards me. I don’t know if that’s safe for the motor — I’ll ask Amazon!Cons:- If your room doesn’t have a full range of motion, the Echo might get confused when following you around. Since it is on my nightstand, the echo really only needs to turn about 90° to see in front if itself, and when I go to the left of my room. If I go to exit my room, it might start losing tracking, which could probably fixed in a future OS update (to halt moving at a specific point, which it already does).Bottom Line: I 100% recommend this as an upgrade to an old device or a new device for any potential Echo owners. If you don’t feel comfortable with the motion controls, turn them off, but you won’t get the full package and what I think is the biggest selling point of this device. Put this in a public room and try it out — you won’t regret it.EDIT: After seeing more reviews a few points to mention:1. White power cord. Who cares? You dock a star for this? Don’t listen to normies giving poor reviews who think the color of a power cord which is draped out of sight will have any effect on how the device improves over it’s predecessor2. Complaints over resolution: if you’re not buying this thing to watch full-fledged movies on, it’s fine. You won’t notice.3. Complaints over tracking: it won’t track you with the camera in the dark. A future models can probably have an infrared light added (similar to FaceID) to fix that problem.4. I saw someone complaining about Airplay and multiroom audio. Echo devices support multiroom audio through Amazon’s Ecosystem — not bluetooth. It has never supported that. Why would you expect this to change without notice?Don’t listen to the haters. People reviewing are acting as if this device isn’t 5x better than the last generation of the Show. Motion is a stellar addition that would bring moving smart devices into the mainstream. No one here knows what athe Facebook Portal is, because there was never a solid backing behind the product line. Echos are in homes across America, and I’m sure that this will lead to better smart devices from Amazon in the future.For reference, I have owned an: Echo Show 1, Echo Show 2, Echo Dot, and have coded ~5 Alexa Skills. I know these devices. This gen is great. Give it 1 month and these will be 5/5. These reviews all read so fake. Who purchases a device and returns it same-day due to a different colored power cord? Who returns a device that doesn’t do something they expected when it was never said the device did it?Low-information consumers and people with too high expectations… there’s a reason why it’s called PRE-ORDERING, because you KNOW you are going to like it and/or take what you get. No one forced you to buy a day 1 device.TL;DR: Don’t listen to bad reviews. Buy this if you’re in the market.

    Is it better than the previous 10 inch Alexa? Yes, but maybe not by as much as you think.

    Full disclosure, I receive gift cards from my place of work from time to time and I used some of that money to pay for half of this unit, though it is not related to Amazon of course so this review is fully of my own opinions.I own a few of the Amazon Echo show units dating back to the original Gen 1 Echo Show (7 inch). I currently still own that unit and had a place in my kitchen for several years. My wife now working from home needed an Echo in her upstairs office (where it was becoming troublesome to reach her from the other end of the house) so instead of purchasing an all new one, we decided based on her casual usage that we would replace the Gen 1 Echo Show with the latest generation for the kitchen. At the time, I wasnt aware of the new Echo Show 10, but was intrigued to find out there was a new version with a motorized screen display. I am somewhat of an early adopter, but my profession is in computer/electrical engineering and wanted to see if this was worth the substantial increase in costs. The gift card funds just help take that sting out of the purchase that made the decision easier over the costs of the non motorized Show product line.Unboxing:Unboxing was straight forward if you are familiar with the Show lineup and not much to say other than that reviews had led me to believe the unit was big, but I was not surprised by what I found. Essentially a large speaker base with what appears to be a tablet stuck to it, not that surprising and what anyone would expect. The cable like many others have mentioned on the charcoal colored unit is a bit annoying that it is white, but not the end of the world. Just would have appreciated more attention to this detail. Packaging looked well capable of protecting the unit as it was a box within a box, within another Amazon box, but this is where I have a small gripe. Did we need 3 boxes for this, Amazon, please work on the overuse of packaging for wastage.Setup:Setup was pretty standard if you have ever performed an Echo setup, but a bit elongated to perform the turning radius setup limits which is handy if your Show will have objects nearby or walls to contend with. I have none in this case as it is going at the end of the counter bar that divides the Den area with the Kitchen area. It can turn 360 degrees freely and this was easy to see how to limit or run unhindered. The rest of the setup was just confirming the Amazon account, wireless connection, and home screen details. All within about 3 minutes or less.First impressions:My first impressions were the unit is very sleek looking and the weight seemed adequate for the unit to be stable on the bench. The screen was perfectly bright and just the right size to view from a reasonable distance. The speed of the rotation as some have mentioned being too slow I found just fine as I want it to be quiet (which it is in motion – perfectly silent) and yet not aggressive in the movements as to call too much attention to the unit. My family thought it was pretty interesting how it can follow if you interact with it, but normally it stay put unless you ask it a question. In locating the person to point at with the voice trigger, I actually found the unit a little less sensitive to the wake command than any of my other generation units including the latest 8 inch and 5 inch Show units (I own 4 x 8 inch units and 4 x 5 inch units, along with 3 echo dots). In fact I have an upstairs Echo Show 8 (open ceiling through the Den into the movie theater room, that many times “bongs” to the wake command sooner than the kitchen one will standing within a few feet of this new unit. This isnt a huge issue once you get used to it, but I hope Amazon tweaks the sensitivity of the wake command to be more in line with other models in the lineup. One of the reason I got this new unit was my impressively fast results with the other latest generation Echo Show 8 units being so fast to work a command over the 1st generation.After a few weeks of usage:I have found that the unit motorized feature is a little bit of a novelty, but in daily use it has been a welcome change. For the price difference, I am right on the fence of whether I would pay the difference knowing what I know now and I know that may not help anyone reading this, but it is really right there with I would or wouldnt pay the extra. As the price knowingly will come down over time, this should become easier to make a decision.Sound Quality:Sound quality is above par for my expectations, as it is more clear than the preceding model. It has more depth to me and sound dispersion to 360 degrees is far better than the rear/side facing speakers of the past. Potentially largely due to the screen being out of the way which is a bit expected. Louder volumes were reached without distortion compared to previous units and the highs were clear and pronounced without overdoing it. Happy with this as an area speaker, but this wont replace your bookshelf stereo for instance. It can be paired with other devices so you can expand this if necessary.Motion tracking:As mentioned from others, this is a bit laggy, but in the “works well enough” category. It is not quick to jump around, but can trail someone easily walking around. What I found is that it rarely loses focus of the individual completely even though it will trail the motion. And if the user is continuing to speak, it almost never loses track of the user in my testing. Of note, it of course does not track up and down as the motorized function is swivel only, but the wide angle of the lens makes this mostly unnecessary.Final verdict:Would I get this again? In this same scenario, definitely, no regrets. Had I needed to pay the entire amount? At $250 at the time of writing while the 8 inch is $109, this is a hard justification, but when we remember that a year ago the previous 10 inch model was selling for $229, it gets a lot easier to see that the extra $20 delivers quite a bit. Better sound, motorized swivel, a better screen, and a much better tilt/angle/level than the previous unit had out of the box. I think this is a win, if it isnt a solid win over the previous generation. I hope that the mic sensitivity gets better with updates, but I dont have many complaints over what is delivered today from this model.

    Fun, convenient, and helpful…UPDATED

    Okay, I’m having fun with Alexa. This morning I said “Alexa, goodbye”. She replied, “Let’s make like a volcano and blow this place”. I will greet her when I return, and she often has a witty reply. She wakes me up to music which starts playing low then gets louder and louder until I tell her I’m awake. The sound is amazing for such a little speaker. I can hear the “thumping” coming from my room when I walk down the hall. Drawbacks, I know there is so much I can do with her that I haven’t learned and have had a hard time finding the features. Most I discover by looking at the screen. I just learned I can play Jeopardy and found out about a podcast. I have had her give me reminders at certain times. Such as, “Colleen, you better start getting ready, you have company coming in an hour.” She created a playlist of my favorite songs, but when I ask her to show me my favorite playlist, she only shows me the first song I added to it. In the end, I’ve had it about a week and I love it. I just want to know what else I can do. — UPDATE — so I have had this a couple of months. I love almost everything about it, except I know there are a lot of things than can be done and finding information on that is difficult. For instance, it let me make an outgoing call, but I don’t know how to assign a contact and when I called the person, I didn’t know what number to give them to call back. My phone is crap, so this would be a great alternative when I’m home. The screen will show a feature, but when I want to get more information, it has changed to a different screen, and I don’t know how to back up to review what it just showed me. I will ask Alexa to go back to last screen and she’s confused, I will ask her to tell me about it, and she’s confused. For instance, the screen flashed something about a “Bot” for cooking and DYI, I wanted to know more about it and couldn’t get it back. Or something will flash, but I don’t have time to see what it is and I don’t know how to bookmark it. Like I said before, I know there are a lot more options out there to utilize, but it doesn’t come with any sort of manual. I’ve gone to YouTube videos, etc.. but haven’t find anything to help. Other than that, I love the product and would buy it again.

    Mine was refurbished, seems okay so far.

    New technology can be interesting. This thing can turn its screen around and follow your every movement. Sounds Orwellian, but I figure whomever wants to waste their time to spy on me has to be crazy; Nothing to see here anyway, lol. I set mine to face the screen at me only when I say the waking word. It has issues following you in low light conditions and will tell you so when it does, which can be irritating from time to time. If I want privacy I can use the camera lens blocker, which is basically a thin plastic panel that shifts to cover the camera lens. I don’t think the audible privacy is a possibility but if I cared about that, I wouldn’t have a cell phone either. For the microphone issues, my other Echo devices sometimes answer for this Echo Show instead, and that can be annoying when you are asking to see or watch something in particular. Most annoying is when Alexa is telling you from a regular Echo that she does not have the capability to do “that” on this device. Nothing like a smart home device giving you a “Duh” moment. Positioning for acoustics while maintaining view ability can be quite challenging given the limited power cord and Wifi limitations in the average household, mine included. The sound though, is amazing; I can feel the power in the vibrations it exudes, as well as hear the crisp sound quality from the somewhat heavy cylindrical base that the screen rotates around. The touchscreen is kind of like a tablet, just not nearly as quick in reacting to tapping or swiping. In conclusion, I think this will improve with time, and for the money I spent on it, that is forgivable (my iPad Air was nearly three times the cost of this refurbished unit). I don’t watch TV in my household and we don’t have to pay for cable service, so this is really the only thing we have besides our cell phones for viewing entertainment and getting the news, and my family appreciates what it has to offer. I’m sure there are other families out there that would feel the same.

    New Rotating Show 10, Better Camera, Great for Video Calls

    The new Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is a big improvement over the previous 2nd Gen version. The Show 10 is now attached to a swivel base that lets the Show 10 constantly rotate to face you as you move around the room. Other changes include: a new speaker configuration, MUCH better camera, better processor, and Amazon Sidewalk support. Here are my thoughts so far:THE GOOD:-SETUP – Setup was super easy. The Show came configured to my account, I didn’t have to log in or even enter wifi passwords. It connected, downloaded some updates, and then walked me through customizing the range of motion.-MOTION- This is the most obvious new improvement. The Show 10 will now track your movement and turn to face you as you move around the room. The Show seems to have very good facial tracking, and it will rotate on its horizontal axis to follow you (you can also manually tilt the screen up and down to your desired vertical position.) We tested this while playing movies and while viewing our remote cameras, and it worked perfectly. We also tested with multiple people in the room; and the Show seems to lock onto one face and moves to follow that face, until it can’t see that face anymore and will move to another face. Or if someone uses the Wake Word “Alexa,” it will turn toward where that voice was coming from. This also works for video calls, though we noticed that on video calls the Show will rotate to try to keep ALL of our faces in view. Sometimes this might mean it faces in between two people so that the camera can see both of us, and then automatically zooms the camera in or out to adjust. Which brings me to the next big improvement:-13MP CAMERA – We were very impressed with the quality of the new camera, and with the tracking technology it uses. Not only are images crisp and detailed on video calls, but the camera will actually automatically zoom in and out to adjust to the people in the shot. For example I can back up from my kitchen into the living room, and the camera will zoom in and follow me. When you combine this with the movement and facial tracking, it is almost like having your own camera man follow you around the room on your call. The family members we called said they could see so much more detail. There is also now a physical shutter that you can close to cover the camera if you want to.-SPEAKERS – The old 2nd Gen Show 10 had dual 2” neodymium drivers, but this new 3rd Gen Show 10 has two 1” tweeters and a 3” woofer. I can definitely tell the difference, although I really don’t use the Show for listening to music very often. In testing out a few songs, I noticed that the new 3rd Gen seems louder at max volume, and less muffled. Definitely an improvement, though maybe not quite on the level of the Echo Studio.-PROCESSOR – The new Show 10 has both an upgraded main processor, and also a second Amazon AZ1 processor. This should result in slightly faster repose times, and better future performance; although I really haven’t been able to tell much of a difference so far. AZ1 is supposed to be faster and more efficient, and allow voice commands to be processed locally instead of having to go to the cloud; so we’ll see if this is noticeable in the future.-ZIGBEE/SIDEWALK – The previous version included a Zigbee hub, but this version also includes Amazon Sidewalk compatibility. Sidewalk is a long range connection technology that Amazon plans to use for devices that will be able to reach much further; (the initial announcement estimated up to half a mile). This technology isn’t really being used yet, but it is nice to know this future tech is built in.THE BAD:-WHITE POWER CORD – Yes, for some reason that same white power cord that ships with the Echo 4th Gen is also included for this Show 10. No matter what color Show you get (I got black), you still get a white power cord. I’m a little surprised that they went with this decision again, but it really doesn’t bother me much at all. Just thought I’d mention it in case that matters to you.-LARGE FOOTPRINT – Since the device rotates, you really have to be careful about where you put it. The Show 10 comes with a footprint guide, that suggests that you make sure you have enough space around the device to avoid the screen knocking over a glass of water, for example. This also wasn’t a big deal for me, but keep in mind you will probably need more space than the previous version. The specs recommend a 10” by 15” space, but I think you could get away with less.*Note – You can disable the movement by saying “Alexa disable Motion,” or by turning it off in the Alexa app on your phone. Also, when you first setup your Show, there is a slider bar that let’s you choose how far the screen should rotate in each direction. It seems to go almost 360 degrees maximum, but you can limit the radius so it turns much less. You can also change this in the ‘Motion’ menu under Settings.Overall, I am VERY pleased with this new Show 10. The camera clarity is great, and the face tracking technology is so impressive; there’s just nothing else like it for video calls to our family. This is a huge upgrade!

    I really like this product

    So far, I am surprised but I really like this product. I bought it at Amazon prime day and to be honest, I probably would wait for a sale like Amazon prime day, but for the price I picked it up for, I would say I’m definitely happy with it. I do have an echo show 5 from a few years ago, and I don’t get too much use out of it, due to the fact that it is too small too see but this echo 10, is a real fun thing to play with. Firstly, I really like the speakers. Played music out of it and I was really impressed. Now, I don’t geek out with speakers so I can’t compare it with high end speakers but, I will say to me, it sounds very nice. I really like the feature that if you call it “alexa”, then it’ll turn and face you wherever you are ain’t the room. It is not a 360 turn though (not sure why) but very close to it. Anyway, very nice and big enough screen. Obviously very responsive. Can be used as a drop in security feature, such as when you’re out of the house and want to check in on the dogs, you can. There is a lot of features I tried on this unique device (unique cause calling it, it’ll turn to face you) but I really, really like this device and considering buying another one (when it’s on sale).

    Great video call tool

    I bought this mainly to use it as a video call unit (I intend to buy a second one soon, which will be installed at a relative’s house). My second use is watching the house when I’m away (via the app on my cell) and seeing a couple of cameras I have installed.That said, here are my PROS and CONS.PROS:- Nice screen of a good format and size. The resolution is really good, too.- Good sound, equivalent to (if not better than) what my Echo 3rd gen produces.- Should make a nice video call set (more on that when I install the second unit; I will get back here to update my review).- The screen follows you (most of the time)!CONS:- The screen is way too reflective. That makes it hard to read if there’s a window behind you.- A white power cord for a black unit, really, Amazon?! OK, I understand it saves YOU some bucks, but it’s an eyesore at my all-black countertop. A black unit should come with a black cord, period. Good thing I had an Echo 3rd gen. with a black cord I could use (my Echo can keep the white cord since it falls hidden behind a piece of furniture).- While I’m at that… the power cord has a different adaptor than the Echo Dots. So you can only replace the eyesore white cord like I did if you have an Echo (not the dot, but the taller one, which also uses a different adaptor — come on, Amazon, standardize that stuff!)- Somewhat harder to hear you… and I can attest to that since I have five other Echo Dots 3rd gen plus an Echo 3rd gen in the house. You call it, it doesn’t hear you, and you need to repeat it louder. It’s so annoying that sometimes a Dot in a far-away room will reply to your command instead of this unit, which is right on your face.- Besides, you can say “Alexa, do [whatever]” to an echo dot, while you have to call “Alexa” (wait for it to find you) and then “do [whatever]” on this thing. Not as fast/responsive as the Echo Dots.- No infrared vision, so don’t expect it to be helpful as a night camera to watch your house.- It does follow you, but sort of “crooked.” Its camera is off-center, so it usually doesn’t “look at you” directly but a little sideways. No, there’s no way to fine-tune that either. And sometimes, for no good reason, you can walk in front of it, and it won’t follow you… I haven’t yet figured out why and when it does follow me, even after telling her to “follow me” and activating that mode.Finally, let’s be honest: I love what it does, and many years ago, I was impressed with what this technology promised. But almost a decade later, Alexa isn’t becoming smarter. It recognizes my face and my voice. But if I tell her my birthday or some other fact about me, she’s still incapable of memorizing it (yes, I can create a note, but that’s not the same as this thing really KNOWING when my birthday — or anyone’s birthday — is).Today, it also should be smart enough to receive two or more commands at once, like “turn off my office light, turn on my bedroom light, and play music.”And even though I have a Fire TV at home, it took way too many commands and internet searches until I got this new unit to control it (it kept replying, “your Fire TV can’t do that” to every command; I finally got it to work, but definitely not a user-friendly set up as I’d have expected).So the promise of Artificial Intelligence is still in the air. This thing has good voice recognition, but its features and skills are still not worthy of being called “intelligence.”

    It’s good, not perfect

    I still get frustrated with Alexa occasionally for not being as helpful as she could be. Sometimes the screen follows the wrong person or just randomly points the away from us. Sometimes we ask her simple things like “show me a picture of Tailor Swift” and she goes on a rant about tailor swifts modeling career without showing us any pictures.I also find the user interface a bit clunky compared to anything made by apple or android.However, we have our baby monitors and all of our outdoor cameras hooked up to Alexa and it’s really nice to ask her to show the driveway or show one of the kids and there they are. Also nice that it has great sound. All in all I’d purchase again:)

    Great idea but needs some tweaks

    I love the concept. The execution of it is clunky and awkward. The follow mode doesn’t work as well as it should. You can set the range of motion and the idle position and it’ll “adjust” it based on what it thinks your movement is. Well, it doesn’t stay in the correct set idle position and only tracks well about 50% of the time.If you want to watch a movie or YouTube video while you’re cooking or puttering in the room where your show is it is great-until you need to control a light or set a timer. It doesn’t pause your video in YouTube or Netflix. It just plain dumps you out of it. If and when you find it again it doesn’t remember where you were in the video. So if you want to watch something from start to finish make sure no one in earshot says the wake work or you have to start over or just give up.

    Great update for the Echo Show – with motion!

    Our previous Echo Show, maybe 5 years old, was getting some brownish amber burn-in on the upper part of the screen, pretty much from edge to edge. I guess we had the brightness up a bit but didn’t expect that to happen. As a result, we’ll keep the brightness down some on this one.Love the motion and the facial recognition, as well as voice recognition. We use it for routines – controlling lights, solar blinds, fans, etc. Awesome device!
