See how it works
Having owned or currently own every Amazon Echo product at market the new Echo Show 2nd Generation is my favourite device in the range
Great screen, sound and camera but alas a little glitchy
Saying “Do Not Disturb” or “Turn on do not disturb” does nothing I have to do it manually every time from Day 1
Turning it off by voice works fine
I also have to literally shout with an angry intent in my voice a lot of the time to get a correct command or skill to work
Quite a lot of the time just asking normally Alexa just doesn’t get the command right she has performed countless times before which can be very frustrating
So I just resort to asking Google and she gets it right 1st time in majority of the cases
For the next release the Echo Show 3 it would be great to have a better screen, sound, ability to turn to portrait or landscape
A much thinner unit which takes up less space
A smaller power plug as all current ones are oversized for standard double wall sockets or standard power boards
And especially more variation of what is rotated on the screen similar and better than Google with adaptive follow through voice commands for a continued conversation
Also the ability for Alexa to make the 1st move in conversation etc (if enabled in settings under different variables)
But apart from all its faults and glitches it’s by far my favourite Amazon Echo Device and which I use the most from Amazon
Once again another Amazon 5 Star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 product! Great Price, Great Quality and Supersonic Delivery Speed!! 🕺👍☺️

Alexa makes it fun to get more done in your day. Follow step-by-step recipes, set alarms and timers, see weather forecasts, calendars, to-do or shopping lists and more. Echo Show is optimised for visibility across the room and can hear you even while music is playing.
Alexa can control compatible smart home devices like security cameras, lights, thermostats, and more. Just ask her to show you the front door camera or brighten the kitchen lights.
Easily set up and control compatible Zigbee smart home devices without the need for a separate hub. Just say, “Alexa, discover my devices,” and Echo Show will discover and set up compatible devices so you can control them with your voice or manage them on-screen.
Hands-free video calling and messaging
Echo Show makes it easy to stay in touch. Make video calls to friends and family who have Skype, the Alexa app, an Echo Spot or Echo Show. You can also voice call or message almost anyone with a supported Echo device or the Alexa App. Instantly connect to other devices in your home to make a quick announcement or check in on the kids.
When you are running low on household essentials, Alexa makes it easy to replenish your pantry. You can add everything from batteries to nappies to your Amazon Cart, reorder favourite products from Amazon and ask Alexa the status of your recent Amazon orders.
Alexa has thousands of skills and counting. Skills let you do more like checking your commute with NextThere, meditating with Headspace, checking in for domestic flights with Virgin Australia, or managing your finances with Westpac or NAB. It’s easy to get started – just say “Alexa, help me get started with skills.”

Size matters
Gee, once you get used to an Echo Show you want them everywhere. We started with the Echo Show 5 and we thought that was fantastic and then you realise that the larger the screen the better it is.I love uploading my photos to Amazon photos and having them played on the Echo Show.I also like being able to read recipes on this larger screen. Sound quality is amazing!From a security point of view, the Echo Shows are a ‘must have’ to show you who’s on your security cameras.
