Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) HD Smart Display with Motion and Alexa in Charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have and love and use an Echo Show 5, so when I had the opportunity to pick up the Amazon Echo Show 10 | HD smart display with motion and Alexa I did not hesitate. The good news is everything I love about the Echo 5 is here, but in a larger, more functional, and better sounding design. Having a smart home already built upon Alexa, the Echo 10 was seamlessly integrated into the family of devices. Music, dinner alerts, and device controls can be made from any of the units, making control simple, convenient, and energy efficient. After our first Echo, we bought our parents the 8 for Christmas (they loving it as we do), so communication is fun and simple, especially during times of quarantines and social distancing. The grandparent and grandkids owe much of their relationships the past year to devices I’m such as the Echo. Again, it’s easy to set up, especially if you already have the Alexa app, as we do. Light and cameras go into different zones or rooms, grouped so they are easily and quickly controlled. Too, it integrates perfectly with my non Amazon smart devices (such as my doorbell camera), so I don’t have to juggle multiple apps. My doorbell cam displays perfectly on my Echo 10, for example. I decided to place the Echo Show 10 in the kitchen, thinking mostly that the video and hands free operation would be most useful where the food is being prepped, and it’s perfect for us there. No more do we have to touch our phone to see a recipes, touch food, forget a step, was our hands and reawaken our phone (over and over). Now the recipe is constantly available visually on the Echo Show, and Alexa and help answer any question like “Alexa how much salt did you say I need,” with the convenience I have when my mother in-law is actually with me in the kitchen. To the Smart Display with motion will actually follow you around as you move about (a function that you can turn off with the flip of a switch, if you’re concerned about privacy.) This feature is particularly useful during online virtual meetings as you aren’t tethered in one spot, but can instead multitask while meeting with work or friends. The speaker is obviously much larger than what was in the Echo Show 5, and while I was happy with the previous versions sound quality, the Echo Show 10 is vastly better, offering deeper, filler sound, and louder too. It’s fun to follow along with the lyrics of sounds on the screen, and adjusting the volume is as easy as telling Alexa, “sound up,” or “volume 4,” or whatever. She’s a very clever girl, this Alexa. Other things I love and use constantly are weather reports, alarms, and photos reels. And really I’m just scratching the surface, as the Amazon Echo Show 10 seems to be endlessly functionable. I obviously recommend, and am excited to see what Amazon comes up with next to improve and simplify my life!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this Amazon product. It’s super cool and fun to mess around with. It has a bunch of neat little features! For starters, it’s quite a bit bigger than I expected, which is a good thing! It’s perfect size to actually enjoy what you’re doing on it. The screen is large enough to comfortably watch movies, play videos, video chat, etc.. the actually Alexa/speaker is also quite large and sounds great as far as audio goes. It doesn’t sound muffled and actually has pretty good bass to it. I love watching my regular shows on it. I like that screen goes all the way 360 degrees and can follow you if you want. I personally doesn’t use the follow feature because it is slightly off due to the camera being on the right side and not centered. So with that being said, it doesn’t look straight at you when it follows, which is a bit annoying. I tend to turn the camera off - close it with the little close feature. That feature is pretty neat for those not comfortable with it being open/on. Something else that is a bit annoying would be the fact that Alexa can’t answer a lot of things you ask her. She tends to say something about not knowing the answer to it. It would be cool if she could have casual conversation with you. She sort of can as far as good morning, thank you, goodnight and stuff like that goes. There are also other cool features such as the weather, alarms, reminders, display settings, and so on. I like that it can be used with smart plugs and turn on/off lights, cameras, fans, and really anything electrical. You can also use it as a security thing when away so you can see your home (whatever room it’s in). There are definitely a few flaws and things that can be improved, but overall I really enjoy using it. I looks very nice and super fun to use. My mom calls it “boujee” - HA!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I begin? This is the most amazing echo show period. Set up is easy. Has motion which follows you perfect in the kitchen when cooking or following a recipe. You can command Alexa to provide weather, temperature, fun facts etc. You can ask Alexa play music. You can add your favorite photos as a background on your screen. You can watch or listen to anything you want. Speaker is pretty loud and just perfect! You can make phone calls. This is the most amazing gadget to have hands down. You can cover the camera area if you don’t want screen to follow you. Hands down awesome! Everyone should own one! You won’t regret it. Definitely would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this unit several days back and have been using since. Setup up is very easy, I love this thing it is awesome where I have it on my kitchen counter it is so nice to be able to look up a recipe and have it right in front of you right away also to have music and streaming tv will never miss a show I want to watch now . I did have some tech problems with my unit loading sometimes but that was all due to my internet provider and nothing to do with the Echo itself live in the sticks and service is really bad for internet at times. Love the way it follows you to see screen and also another feature is the camera you can control the shutter . Love this unit Thank you Amazon Echo Awesome Product
