Amazon Echo Show 15 2nd Gen

Fantastic device from Amazon. At this price point is truly a steal. The design, to me, is flawless. It's not too bulky or heavy and it doesn't take up too much space wherever you put it. The setup process is very simple and adding widgets and apps to the firetv are super simple processe as well. I love the sound quality both for music and while streaming content. What would I change? Allow users to add more apps. I would pay money for this thing to have a YouTube app!!! It feels very limited on what you can do with it. It feels like you're limited to tracking tasks with calendar and shopping lists and watching content on fire TV. Adding more third part apps such as Spotify would transform this thing into a front runner when it comes to devices of this genre. The ... MoreFantastic device from Amazon.

Adding more third part apps such as Spotify would transform this thing into a front runner when it comes to devices of this genre. The device is also glitchy on the sense that it goes to apps such as Netflix and Hulu without a single Alexa command or someone using the remote. Sometimes when you ask for Alexa to play something on Amazon music, it just doesn't work. It goes to the Amazon music app and you can't play song. Quite disappointing.

This product is amazing! I have the Amazon Echo 8 and the tower. I tried the Amazon Echo Show 10 but wasn’t a big fan of it. For the same price you can get this, the Amazon Echo Show 15. The screen is simply wonderful. It looks like a big picture frame but does so much more. You can mount on the wall but I prefer the stand which you can place horizontal or vertical. I like the landscape mode. The sound clarity is actually really good. It’s not distorted. I noticed upon buying the Echo Show 10 it had a few glitches so I returned. In my opinion it’s a personal preference but this latest Echo Show 15 does not disappoint. It has a camera for video calling, it has also the privacy button so you can hide the camera button.

I just ordered this and it arrived yesterday from Best Buy. It has widgets, notes, etc. I love it! I highly recommend. I also recommend the table top stand!

Love the echo… with Alexa I can make a shopping list out loud while getting ready for work. I Can get up and ask it to play music while I go to my coffee bar and make that morning cup of coffee or want to wind down with a glass of wine in the evening listening to some jazz. Great for parties and hosting. Love the screen saver options although I would love if you could just play the screen saver pictures like a slideshow while playing music…: like a set screen. That would create a relaxing ambiance. Haven’t played too much with settings to see if that’s a possibility. I’m sure this device has many more capabilities but those are essentially the reasons why I love this device. I did not hang mine up but instead used an easel to display it on a side table. I recommend ... MoreLove the echo… with Alexa I can make a shopping list out loud while getting ready for work.

Great addition to our life!

Loving our new Alexa Smart Display screen. We wanted to use it to catch up on TV whilst preparing meals and listening to music but it has added so much more than anticipated. We can display all out photos from the Amazon photo app which the kids love looking at. Also we have lots of fun using it for karaoke 🎤 with our Bluetooth karaoke machine. Really recommend the product.

Overpriced

I bought this for the kitchen as a replacement for a tablet. Be prepared to purchase a stand if you dont want to fix to a wall. A remote is necessary in order to use the Echo Show but doesn't come with one. A bit overpriced for what it is, not sure I would repurchase. It does block certain 3rd party apps from being downloaded and for some reason I can't download TVNZ even though its advertised at the top of the screen. The screen is a decent size for recipes, youtube etc , kids enjoy playing the games and access to Alexa enabled appliances. I chose this as we use Alexa a lot for kitchen timers, reminders etc... I do like it hence 4 stars but i think its probably overpriced, especially as i had to spend an extra $100 + on a stand and remote

Review of AMAZON Echo Show 15 Smart Display with Alexa & Fire TV Voice Remote

Bought as a gift for my son. He loves it. Has it wall mounted in kitchen and watches TV while cooking. Easy to move around the house with. Has his Now TV App on it so can watch football when the kids are using the main TV!Good picture. Easy to use, portable although needs a mains supply unlike smaller tablets.

[Rewarded Review] Amazing we love ours

I got this a little over a week ago and I absolutely love it. This is my second amazon show device and is by far the best device I’ve ever used. It was very simple to set up and login to my amazon account set up a profile for each person in my household. I love that I didn’t need to download anything and it was all already on there Netflix,Hulu,YouTube and I love the amazon silk feature as well when I need to look something up. Another great feature about it that I really enjoy is with the Alexa app when I’m not home and my kids have a homework question or they need me for something in general or I need to check on them make sure they are doing homework I can either make a call from the app on my phone to the device in my house and see and talk to them.

I really like that it was simple hooking our smart lights up and naming them so Alexa knows which light I’m talking about. So many great features just using your voice you can ask what the weather or what is the weather going to be like tomorrow or you can turn your lights on and off with just your voice or even dim them to the % you want them at. Overall a great product that will definitely be used from here on out in my house and in my opinion the quality is perfect the sound is great for what it is and is suppose to do.

[Rewarded Review] Big and Beautiful!

The Echo Show 15 is large as can be seen in the picture below with my Show 10. However, the Show 15 picture is beautiful and my favorite aspect is the white “matting” look on the edge. The matting makes it look like a classy frame. I set up an Amazon Photos file with approximately twenty pictures just to see if I really want to use it in this manner and so far I love it. Seeing pictures of the grandkids rotate through the display is so much better than the news!Set up was simple, connected easily to my Wi-Fi and I selected a few “widgets.” It took a little work with the Alexa app to get my old Ring doorbell live view to display but eventually it worked. I am still deciding whether I want to use it in portrait or landscape mode. I had a small picture stand that is ... MoreThe Echo Show 15 is large as can be seen in the picture below with my Show 10.

I am still deciding whether I want to use it in portrait or landscape mode. I had a small picture stand that is sturdy enough for landscape mode but I will need to buy a sturdy stand if I want to set it up in portrait. Since many of my photos will display best in portrait orientation, I think I will end up in that direction. The wall mounts look sleek but my kitchen doesn’t have substantial wall space next to an electrical outlet to enable me to try that set up.

[Rewarded Review] Wow! What a Show!

I've been slowly gaining interest in the home tech world. It took me a bit to fall in love with my echo home speakers, and I rather dismissed the "show" speaker versions for a while. I didn't think that I needed to actually "see" what a speaker could offer.This Amazon Echo Show 15 proved to me exactly what a visual speaker could do in my home!I'm TOTALLY IN LOVE with this device!It's not so smart that it belittles me, and it's smart enough to make my life just a bit simpler.When I opened the box, I instantly saw a primo piece of equipment. The large 15.6 inch Full HD (1080p) smart display screams quality. It also has a 5 MP camera, which can be closed with three flip of a switch. You can also easily turn off the microphone, as desired.The speakers work ... MoreI've been slowly gaining interest in the home tech world.

The large 15.6 inch Full HD (1080p) smart display screams quality. It also has a 5 MP camera, which can be closed with three flip of a switch. You can also easily turn off the microphone, as desired.The speakers work well. They don't have the power of my original echo, but it's obvious that they are designed to be used on/near a wall, so they are placed in such a way to use the wall to bounce the acoustics off. I do play my music playlists on it, and although it's not as great as my echo, it has a nice clear, loud sound.The entire display is surrounded by a sleek black frame, which allows it to incorporate well into my home decor.It's designed to be hung on the wall, and comes with a device to do so. I decided to use a stand, purchased separately, because I'm using it on my kitchen counter near where I prepare meals, and I like to watch YouTube recipes in landscape (horizontally), while cooking. Otherwise, I use it displayed in portrait (vertically), as a photo display and electronic family bulletin board.This device does need to be plugged in to operate, and comes with a 30W power adapter and 5 ft. cord. It's not wireless, so keep that in mind when deciding where to place.I added my (necessary) Wi-Fi, and Amazon account info, and within five minutes from unboxing, I was deciding which widgets to add to the home screen, and using the new Show 15.I love being able to display family photos, and learned that the speed that the display scrolls can be adjusted. I also use the events and calendar to keep my family on schedule.The shopping list is a feature that I use daily to ask Alexa to add things as needed.I'm planning to add my ring camera to it as well, set it up for video chats, and look for new ways to use Amazon Echo Show 15 every day.
