    1. scott murphy

      Great. Upgrade on a 5. Loving the bigger screen, looks great in the kitchen. Sounds better as well.

    2. Harlow

      The sound is amazing and the video quality is equally good! I would definitely recommend this! It’s relatively easy to set up and really becomes handy for everyday life.

    3. Dutchy28

      Well designed and brilliant addition to any family household. So many useful things this item can help with and so versatile. Just brilliant! Listen to any music of your choice, ask any questions and show your photos on the Echo.
      Thank you

    4. everybody.loves.waffles

      Setup fairly easy

    5. Booleanboy

      Nice screen, decent sound quality BUT. Amazon simply haven’t bothered updating the functionality on the echo series in the past few years. With AI spreading into the mass market Alexa should be MUCH brighter now and able to accomplish so much more. Add to this the drab list of applications that make use of the Show’s display and I honestly struggle to think of a reason for buying one.

      The sound quality of the latest Echo Dot is very good. My honest advice is that unless you MUST have a screen in front of you, buy a Dot instead – at £24 (currently) they’ll make the most of what Alexa offers and you’ll save yourself a hundred quid.

    6. The Regan Family

      This is a replacement for my smaller Echo Show. Good sound quality and compatible with my Ring doorbell. Great quality and so many features. Easy to set up. Great for all age groups

    7. Sarah J F

      Helps with reminders, appointments and dates to be remembered. Recipe ideas, timers, doorbell cameras, speakers throughout the house. Music, film guide, tv guide. All kinds of uses. Very handy.
      Superb

    8. stephen

      I like this show quite a lot. It links with my euffy smart doorbell and Swan CCTV system quite well (slight delay while the picture loads to the screen). Music quality is also adequate for my kitchen (although not as good bass as my echo).
