    I purchased this for my 84 year old grandmother, and she absolutely loves it. After teaching her how to use a few features, it was very easy for her. She listens to her music everyday and has access to her front door video at her convenience. This, by far, has been her favorite gift!

    Upgraded from a previous version and this is a nice improvement. Great sound, screen quality and much faster processing power. We love using it and our kids enjoy it as well. For music, videos, checking on the weather, SF 49ers score or any general questions. It does it all. Highly recommend.

    I had the 5" and this is so much better. Of course, it does the same things but it sounds better the screen is more user friendly and effective, and it seems like it processes faster.

    I brought this for my Ring camera so i didn't have to grab my phone all the time. The screen size is great for my stand. I also uses it for the weather and occasional for jokes to ahare with my family. I will definitely be buying another one soon.

    I use it daily when I work from home! Great size screen for a desk setup. I watch my news in the morning, and jam out to music during the afternoon. Its a great tool for setting reminders and timers! I recommend it, only downside is that it doesn't allow the possibility to watch HBO or Disney Plus. In reality, not the biggest deal, Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu is support. In my experience Hulu is a hit or miss; mostly a miss most shows experience an issue when I try to watch a show and bugs out the application. I'm sure there will be a big patch that can fix it.

    Best Amazon Device I Have, But More Is Expected

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Audio quality is pretty impressive for a small Alexa device. If you get one of these, splurge for the compatible stand. I changed the name to Ziggy to differentiate between other Amazon devices in my house. Seems like sometimes I have to say the name twice to get it to "wake-up." But, I toggled the mic button on and off on top of it and that seemed to make it work a little better. While this device is the best Amazon device I have, I do feel like the product line, overall, has gotten a little stale and is weighted even more heavily than ever to selling me stuff than helping me out and providing me with entertainment. This interface and functionality is pretty much the same as what we all got 5-6 years ago. Amazon can do more with these devices, I think

    This is my third time buying this product, we are very pleased with it. We have them in the areas where we mostly spend our time. We have one in our barn /shed/man cave where my husband spends time. Our ring doorbell is sync with it which is helpful because you can see who’s at the door. As seniors it’s a very helpful tool. Highly recommend!

    On with the Show

    This is my third Echo Show. I have picked up a new version every time they have been released. Although subtle, the 3rd generation made sense for me. 3rd Gen has been designed and looks a little more stylish. There is a faster processor so although the resolution is the same(1280x800), the picture seems slightly better. Response time from Alexa is also quicker Audio is improved with spatial audio and room analysis. I will testify, the sound is much clearer, even when listening to voice. Lastly, for those of you who like to control your smart home, Zigbee hub is included. The big benefit compared to prior iterations, is you are not limited strictly to amazon devices. Any manufacturer who builds smart home items that follow the Zigbee protocol will now work with the Show. Although slightly costlier, for me, the Amazon Show is worth it.

    I bought it for my Blink doorbell... unfortunately, it is not compatible with what I bought it for... for example, ringing the doorbell and viewing the camera at the same time, sending my Robot via SmartHome to clean... customer support is hard to get... I actually kept it to listen to music and watch videos...

    Alexa has revolutionized the way I interact with technology at home. From setting reminders and controlling smart devices to playing music and answering questions, Alexa's capabilities are endless. Its voice recognition is impressively accurate, and the range of skills and integrations continue to expand, making it an indispensable part of my daily routine. The convenience and functionality it offers make it a must-have for any household looking to streamline tasks and enhance their living space.

    This thing is really cool if you need it for watching movies or YouTube when you’re at the desk. One thing it won’t do is Disney+ quite yet but they are working to resolve.
