Echo Show 10 (Newest gen) | HD smart display with motion and Alexa | Charcoal Fabric

This is an upgrade for me from the Show 8 which I've had for some time and love.As we have existing products I had this one ready to join our existing group.It's really easy and straightforward to set up. One of the features I really like is that you can set it to move with you as you move in a room. For example in the kitchen it will move with me as I go about my cooking or cleaning so the screen is always visible. The large screen makes it easy to pop on the TV or read a recipe and the sound is clear and easily changed in volume. Definitely worth the money, especially when bought on an offer!

This is an amazing piece of kit! The 10.1 inch Screen is bright with very sharp images and I love the motion tracking feature. (This really impressed my wife- she now loves this and all my other Echo products around the house).Set-up is simple if you have an Amazon account and it has to be placed on a flat secure surface or it notifies you and goes idle, until it is secure. It has a very wide turning circle so give it a clear space either side.I haven't set up the Echo to Echo video feature with the Echo Show 8 in the Living Room room. (I want to surprise my wife with this feature) so we have that to look forward to very soon.It is very expensive though, but I feel a very worth while investment, especially if you don't want to pay for a high grade speaker system.It feels sturdy, but is not too heavy and looks fantastic with it's simple styling and set up giving it a futuristic look and feel.The sound quality is excellent too and being able to watch Netflix and Prime Video is just great.This is by far the best Echo Show model I have seen, to date and I love it!Update: I have now tried the video chat and it works a treat. My wife is very pleased she doesn't always have to msg me if I'm in my "study" and we can chat face-to-face. The screen image is excellent and the sound is really good too!!

Love this, ideal for when I m cooking and following recipes from internet, the screen follows my voice

Update 4 days later‐---------------So all the problems described in my original review "went away". Suspiciuosly, this happened just after an Amazon customer service rep tried to contact me, presumably about this review. I say presumably, as they'd just started to introduce themselves and were cut off, never to be seen again.Anyway, I presume they force-updated my unit, and all the voice commands are back. Look left, and look right really make a difference, having some control over her movements makes a big difference!View camera now works, and even from other alexa shows. You get pinch to zoom, and swipe to pan, works very well.I'm withholding one star for the rocky start, but if it all goes well, i'll upgrade later.Original 2 star review---------The Good------------Camera is much improved, with a much wider angle view. The sound from the speaker seems a bit better than the last generation, but as I route music to an Echo Link, I don't really care. Screen seems about the same, possibly a bit brighter. The zoom is great when it's working.The Bad-----------The software is buggy as hell. This is not a finished product.I hope that sometime in the future they bother to do some QA, then release a final version of the software, as it's pretty bad right now.On day one it would respond to request to "Look left" and "Look right" this is super useful when you are all at a table, and you want to get various people in frame. On day 2. Nope. "I'm not sure" or "I don't know how to do that" etc. If I didn't have witnesses, I'd doubt it had even been a feature. When "tracking" a stationary seated child, suddenly it will pan off to look in the opposite direction for no reason."Stop tracking Me" or "Tracking off" or every variation you can imagine of this now fails. On day 1 it worked fine. It's essentially like the voice part of the software has forgotten that the Alexa can move.Drop-in doesn't seem to work reliably with this one either. ie, if you are elsewhere and you use a show 5, it just goes to a "drop-in" static screen, and doesn't ever connect, mostly. Sometimes instead it just gives you audio.The Pan and Zoom are possessed. It's like you have a drunk cameraman with ADD. the shot pans and zooms all over the place. Sometimes it gets distracted and voosh, off pans the shot to something unrelated.Also the remote control from your Alexa app (to use it as a security camera), doesn't work. It just gave a static screen.So if the movement and zooming could be reliably controlled, this would be worth it, as it is, it's a frustrating product that's almost (but not quite) unusable. Is it better than the previous version? Well, if you grab the screen and override the motor, or possibly limit it's motion to nothing (which you can do in software), then you have a unit with a much better camera (which it needed) - but at great cost.Come on Amazon, you can get this right!

I bought echo show 10 from john lewis (same price) as Amazon had a month's wait on delivery.Straight out of the box it had a quality feel, heavy and well balanced (charcoal model).No problems linking it to my account and all my devices are working as before. Setup is easy whether pre setup by Amazon, or you need to do it yourself.Sound quality is excellent, lots of bass if you like the 'thud thud thud', but with the equaliser settings, you can have crisp clear notes.Screen resolution same as echo show 8, no loss of quality though, just a bigger picture, perfect.Screen motion sensor, very accurate and speedy with 'whisper quiet motor' ( I actually can't hear it). Works great in good lighting but struggles when lighting is low (It does tell you though).All in all, very responsive, very easy to use and is a great asset to have, one hang up, no headphone socket.... some might say this is because it has motion activation and is probably best suited to a kitchen where you won't need headphones. I use mine as a bedside kit, so would have been handy to have one (you could put it the same place as the power plug, like echo show 8) ... Maybe that's an upgrade one year.Well worth the money if you're into your tech and well worth it if you need it as an assistant (as I do). Amazon has brought out the best at last :)
