    Great when she works properly...

    UPDATE... Amazon reached out and offered to replace almost immediately. Fantastic Cutomer ServiceUPDATE... After owning it for a couple weeks now it's frozen a couple times on me to the point all I can do is unplug it and plug it back in. Leave it up to me to get the defective one...ECHO UPGRADE ALERT!!! This product is absolutely amazing... I've had both the Show 5 and Show 8 but we had wanted something larger to easily view our security camera. This was the perfect solution as it can been seen from across the room without any issue. The sound though we were not expecting... the speakers soun

    Not perfect but a FANTASTIC value.

    I am not sure why there would be any negative reviews with regard to the Echo Show 11. It isn’t perfect but it sure is a tremendous value. I have been using my iPad Pro for kitchen entertainment but the speakers are not great and I don’t love exposing it to the various hazards a kitchen creates. The Show 11 is priced at $180 now and has an upgrade offer that took it all the way down to $116. This is a ridiculously good piece of tech for that money.First, the sound is really good. It is basically a beefy Amazon speaker with a tablet bolted onto it. The sound can fill a medium sized room, has gr

    Great Kitchen Hub with a Fantastic 11-Inch Display

    I bought the Echo Show 11 during Prime Day, and it has been an excellent addition to our kitchen. The 11-inch display is fantastic—large, bright, and easy to see from across the room, which makes it perfect for checking information, news, or smart home controls while cooking.I use it as a central hub for many of our smart home devices, and it makes controlling everything much more convenient. We also use it for news, music, weather, and other Alexa features throughout the day.Everyone in the family uses it and enjoys it. The larger screen really makes a difference, and overall it’s been a grea

    Exactly What I Needed for My Living Room and Dining Room

    I bought the newest Amazon Echo Show 8 because I realized I really needed one in my living room and dining room. Before this, I was trying to control most of my Alexa devices from the Echo in my bedroom, and it got annoying when I was relaxing, eating, or just moving around the main part of the house. Having this one nearby makes everything feel easier and more natural, especially when I want to control lights, check the time, play music, or ask Alexa something without having to walk back to the bedroom or raise my voice.The 8.7-inch HD display is bright and easy to read from across the room,

    A glorified Ad Portal

    I've owned several versions of the show device over the years. The original Echo Show 10 being the best one for sound but got slow. The 2nd gen Echo show 10 was terrible...always turning itself and constantly hanging.....audio was horrible as well a significant downgrade from the original Echo Show 10.I took a chance on this device as I thought it couldn't possibly be any worse than the 2nd Gen Show 10. Amazon allowed me to trade in the old one for $30 and gave me 20% off so I was able to get this one right around $100.First impression.....it tried to upgrade all Amazon devices to Alex + immed

    Pretty good but needs a few changes.

    Well, it's pretty good. I upgraded from an Echo Show 5 because I feel like the room that it's in is large enough to warrant a larger display, which I can see more clearly from further away. It does this, though I feel like I should have gone with the 11, but that is my own fault. The screen does look really good, clear, and vibrant. It also sounds a whole lot better than the Echo Show 5. It is also easy to use and so far seems durable. My problem come with some of it quirky glitches and bugs. For example, it rotates through some pictures, but sometimes it gets stuck on a picture for a long, lo

    Alexa Has Apparently Been Promoted to Management

    I’ve owned Alexa devices before, so I thought I knew what I was getting.I did not.This thing showed up looking less like an Echo and more like Alexa finally got a corner office.The 11-inch screen is gorgeous, the sound is surprisingly good, and everything feels noticeably faster and more polished than the older Echo devices I’ve used. It’s big enough that I can actually see what’s on the screen without leaning toward it like I’m trying to read the expiration date on a bottle of aspirin.Alexa also has a LOT more real estate now.Weather? Huge.Music? Huge.Calendar? Huge.Random suggestion I absolu

    Amazing Display and Sound QualityI’m really impressed with the new Amazon Echo Show 11! The 11-inch Full HD display is bright, clear, and gives you plenty of viewing space. The picture quality looks great, and the spatial audio makes music and videos much more enjoyable.I also love how convenient it is for everyday use.
