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

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

I love it

This is brilliant

Wow an Amazon Echo that moves, should be fantastic right. Well in many respects it is, but they really have let this horse out of the stable before it can run.There are some great features:Much improved screen resolution compared to the Show 10 2nd Gen.Comparable or slightly better sound compared to the Show 10.That's about it for the better features.Oh nearly forgot, the camera is a lot better.Most features are about the same as on the previous echo show 10.However, the headline feature, the movement is a massive let down.I have now tried this in 2 locations and have had issues in both.I find that sometimes it turns all the way to it's rear most position for no apparent reason. I think it may be ashamed of itself??It tracks very erratically. I was on a video call yesterday and instead of smoothly tracking me (I was sat down at the time) it was moving around like a drunk trying to sit on a bar stool.I get the impression that both specific location and light levels effect the movement massively. And before you say it Amazon, no we should not have to contact you for technical support. This is a mainstream product that most people should be able to use with ease, not require a degree to calibrate correctly.Now for the camera position, who thought it would be a great idea to put it in the corner of the display???What were they consuming on that particular day? When tracking the entire screen looks over my left shoulder. I think it may be seeing ghost's??? Or perhaps it simply cannot line up easily as the camera is mounted on the right of the screen?Low light, oh dear "expletive". In normal evening light (where you and I can see clearly) you lose the movement all together. Did they only test this in a lab with super bright lighting. Didn't anyone take it home to test???You can also use it for a remote security camera. Great eh? Well only if the room is super well lit and the unit is not in Do Not Disturb mode. Ahhhhh, What is going on. I have 2 other Pan and Tilt cameras (not made by Amazon) and these can move it total darkness. So why do I need 10,000 lumens to operate this camera????I have another big bug bare. I have this Echo show in my living room and I have the new Show 15 in my kitchen. The closest Echo should respond to you, when they are both set as Alexa. When I am next to the living room Echo the kitchen Echo responds virtually all the time. I have now had to rename my kitchen echo show to "echo" to prevent some serious echo abuse! They are approx. 6 metres apart and this even happens when the kitchen door is closed.So what do I think and would I buy another? Well if you ignore the movement side of things then this is a great Echo Show. The screen is great and you can really see the difference when the show 10 2nd gen and 3rd gen are next to each other. But the movement side of things is so poor that I am considering sending mine back.If you already have an Echo Show 10 second gen I would not upgrade. If you are looking at a totally new large echo show then maybe it is worth it, but I would also consider the show 15 if lots of base is not important to you.So my message to Amazon is fix the issue with the movement issues then this will be a great addition to a smart home, as it is I would recommend either the Echo show 10 2nd gen or the new Show 15, which I am very impressed with.

Sound quality is perfect, it is a great smart gift and value for the money.

I bought this Echo show 10 to upgrade my existing echo which now use upstairs and I'm really glad I did.It's so much more interactive and can be lots of fun to use, It also performs really well and I'm still discovering more and more things I can do with it like printing off recipes and shopping lists also colouring pages for the kids. it also links to my lighting and my door bell and shows me what's going on. I'm Really happy with my purchase although I think it could have been a bit cheaper.

I bought this to replace our previous Echo Show 10 model. While there are definitely some big improvements, it still feels as though the newest Echo Show 10 is missing some basic features that I would have expected to be included in newer models by now.So let's start with what's better than the previous model:1) Processing power - unlike the previous model, this one doesn't stutter or freeze. It handles things pretty smoothly.2) It moves - it's a handy feature in an open plan room, especially in a kitchen/ diner, where you're moving about the room and might be cooking, following a recipe or playing music. It's also a great feature for checking in on the dogs if I'm out.Now let's look at what's worse:1) Sometimes I find myself shouting at Alexa to even get her to hear me on this model. It can be very frustrating and doesn't work as well as the previous version. And even when it finally does hear me, it doesn't always get it right. I've changed the name on our devices to 'Ziggy' and the number of times she's played music by Ziggy Marley is extremely frustrating.2) The sound quality is good. I wouldn't say it's worse than the old model, but it's different and the bass isn't as punchy.Now let's look at what needs to be improved:1) Volume control - When you adjust the volume, the volume of everything is increased or decreased. I don't want Alexa booming at me when I'm playing music loud. She doesn't need to as whatever she is playing is reduced as soon as it hears her name so it can hear what you're saying. I've never understood why she needs to shout back at you when the music volume is automatically lowered! I want to be able to control the volume independently for voice responses, music, alarms and notifications.2) Personalisation - Amazon has a habit of creating very bland alarm tones, notifications and jingles (like the power on jingle when you start up a Firestick that sounds like tripping over in mud). Some of us would like to hear a futuristic tone, acoustic sounds, nature sounds, jazz sounds etc. I would like to make my Alexa my own, not what a megacorp decides I should like.3) Output - I want to be able to play my music through Bluetooth speakers, but I only want the music to be played through the speakers, nothing else... No Alexa voice, no alarms, no notifications, no recipe instructions... Just my music. Notifications and Alexa voice etc could still be played through my Echo but I'd like to keep them separate.4) Design - The design of the Echo Show 10 is nice but it's not very futuristic. The edge/bezel of the screen is still far too thick. The camera needs to move to a central point above the screen. There is nothing "wrong" with the design. It's just when customers buy an Echo, they buy it because it's convenient and also because the idea is still a little bit futuristic. It would be nice to see a sexy and sleek Echo device that looks as though it's come from 2050, not 2015. The whole point of Alexa when Amazon first released it was that it was futuristic. Back then it didn't need to look futuristic because the whole concept was. But speaking to Alexa is now a normal part of our lives so the look of the device is now even more important than it was originally.5) Privacy - I would really like to see much more on device processing.6) Video calls - I use videos calls 90% of the time rather than voice calls on my phone. I would use video calling on my Echoes too if the apps were available. It would be great to see more video call apps included with the Echo... Google Meet, Messenger, WhatsApp, Zoom and Skype.So am I glad I upgraded? Definitely YES. Using the new Echo Show 10 is nice, cleaner and the processing power increase makes a huge difference. But I'm just a little bit disappointed that the features, design and technology haven't really progressed that far. I've really only bought this upgrade as using Alexa has become a necessary part of our every day life in our household. It controls lights, TVs, plugs, music and much more. Our old Echo was showing its age and this new one is really only a small upgrade but in my opinion, the next version needs a pretty massive overhaul of some basic features and design to stay ahead of the competition.Update: I've had this a while now and everything was ok until it started showing adverts. I don't want adverts in my kitchen countertop. It's intrusive and cheapens the whole idea of having an Echo Show. As a result, I've now dropped my rating to just 1 star as the adverts haven't stopped. I won't be purchasing any more Echo Shows if this is what's happening from now on. Either Amazon is upfront and tells customers adverts are a part of a product or they should allow customers to get a discount if they allow adverts on their Echo device. Introducing advers AFTER someone has already purchased your product is a quick way for customers to lose trust in Amazon.

Got this as i work away most of the time. And wife wanted something to be able to see the front door Ring camera. And watch things on.Also handy for us to talk/ video call while I'm away..It's also handy for keeping an eye on our Parrots 🦜 while we are out.It's like a little pet that sits in corner.. responds when you talk to it. And will turn to follow you.There are some limitations and things that could be better. But then you are always finding new things you can do with it.Sound quality is bit heavy in Base. But is good.Picture quality is good.So I'd say it was a good purchase for us. Very happy with it.
