Amazon Echo Show 10 (newest model), HD smart display with premium sound, motion and Alexa, Charcoal

So let's look at the model Echo Show 10 itself. Thought it was going to be something like putting a tablet on top of an Apple Home Pod (first gen). Well....it's not. Keep forgetting the Echo Show devices are not tablet user interface devices and the sound quality is not even close to the Home Pod, so just a tad disappointed with that. That said, I do really like the device. I don't have a problem with the Echo UI, in fact i kinda like it better than a tablet. The sound isn't bad, it just isn't what I was hoping for after looking at the design and certainly the price point. The screen and camera quality are really quite good, although when I watch the home screen transition from one picture to another the transition is not super smooth, like maybe the processor is a little under-powered. Not sure about that one tho. The motion feature is nice that it moves to "look at" whoever in the room is talking to it (nice feature), the problem is you can turn the motion off, close the camera and still it's gonna move to what ever section of the house has the brightest light. That is so annoying. I might want it to stay looking "at me" and not move around so I ask it to play something, turn any motion option OFF and it will eventually move anyway. Drives me up the wall. I think that could probably be addressed in a software OS fix, hopefully soon. Also, when you talk to it, it will move around a lot like it's trying to figure out where you are exaclty. All in all, it isn't a bad device for the living room, picture, sound, camera all nice, just needs the motion adjusted to "don't move" means "don't move" and they could probably upgrade the processor or maybe adjust the OS a little. If you need an Echo Show and you are only going to purchase one AND don't need it to function as a hub, I'd go with the Echo Show 8 (2021). Otherwise, wait for some changes to this model. Gave it 4 stars for all nice features, but minus one big star for the motion. Does play live video feeds like ABC News really well, that's a plus...and my favorite Sci-Fi (Expanse) looks amazing on it too. If they fix any issues I'll update this review. Hope it helps.Review Update 9/3/2022: So I moved the Echo 10 into a different room where the lighting was more even and that stopped most of the moving around problems. Then one day it seemed to want to move again and when I was finished a screen popped up that asked if I wanted to change the direction limits. I said yes and it had a great feature I wasn't aware of that let me set the boundaries to the smallest movement possible. With those two changes I have updated my 4 stars to 5. Problems solved and now I don't have to constantly look at the back of the screen. Very happy, really like this product. Thinking about buying another one to replace an Echo 5. The 5 is amazing, but I've gotten to the point where I just want the biggest screen possible, thus the only reason to replace the 5. Good luck, hope this info helps!

Has a great sound quality and all in all I am very happy with this product. I use it as a main hub and connect cameras to, alarms, and reminders, and I use it to alert me if a dog is barking at home when I'm not there. I haven’t used the drop-in camera yet but plan to for when I go on vacation I can drop in at my house if I need to all in all I’m pretty happy with this product. The color works for my kitchen since I Stain stainless steel and black iron throughout it connects easily to all my devices especially those that are made for it. The screen is a good size. We can watch YouTube videos while doing dishes now or news. Kinda net. I don’t like how it will just go off. I Love the add-to shopping list feature. And how it alerts me when my laundry is done in my AI washer. I have plugs connected to it that have lights connected to them, and I have my robot vacuum connected to it. It's nice! We don't have Anyway to see our driveway so it is nice to get a notification that movement is happening in our driveway or a person is in our driveway so we know if someone is at our house to visit us or if it’s a package being delivered. Well made too will follow you while you’re watching a YouTube video and doing the dishes or you can turn that power off where it can’t see you and then it won’t follow you just nice to have those options.

The media could not be loaded. I was enthusiastic when I ordered my Echo Show 3rd Gen. It was supposed to be a robot but not quite. Awesome speakers, great camera, rotating screen?! I got it out of the box, set it up and although I was a bit thrown off by the white cord sticking out of the black unit like a sore thumb, I really didn’t have major issues. The problem was that after using it for a bit longer bugs started to pop out.Bugs observed:- Screen rotates past you.- Barely touching the screen for an action result in a path is blocked message.- Can’t rotate at night because if an area is lit dimly will result in motion stopping and an error message- Some error messages disappear pretty quickly- During a video call the zooming, orienting of the lenses is not quite right- Sometimes it won’t respond to the wake up word.Hardware wise though, this one is better in every regard than its predecessor, which I considered a 5 star product, so the potential is there. So, while I think they would have benefited from a bit more of development time, I think the potential is there. Hopefully, they can do a firmware update to correct the issues. At this point I am not returning it, but if you haven’t bought it, I would wait for a few updates.UPDATE JAN2022 (Raised one star):Some of the most annoying bugs have been fixed but not all of them have. However, the improvements are significant enough that I would consider purchasing another one if on sale. If not,the current Gen Show 8 is really good too.UPDATE JUL2022 (Raised another star)This is what I expected when I ordered this device. Haven’t had a bug in a while. Screen rotation is significantly better, stopping at the correct spots and following better. Additionally, a friend that ordered a current gen black Echo Show 8, received a black power cord with it; it appears that Amazon is moving in the right direction with the power cords. Given that those were my main issues with the device, I raised it a star.
