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

Brilliant device, crisp clear screen and brilliant sound. Some of the apps are a bit clunky and temperamental but generally they come back quite quickly. The setup was easy and the touch screen is a bonus, I have also uploaded photos so its nice to see memories of the family pop up. All in all its a great device and worth getting if you are looking for one.

We have been waiting for this to launch since last year when it was first announced. However delivery from Amazon is nearly an 8 week wait from launch but we managed to purchase this same day from Argos. We already have the Echo show 8 & 5 and the main reason we wanted to purchase this was the added benefit of motion detection and being able to check in on the house via the camera when we are not home. Overall it’s a great unit, the sound is incredible and the motor that enables movement is completely silent. Motion detection is incredibly accurate as it uses its camera & microphone to sense where you are standing but it will only work 100% in good light conditions and if there is more than 1 person walking about it can get ‘confused’ with which person to follow. Depending on where you wish to place the unit, you can set the movement parameters so it will not hit anything when motion detection is in use. You can also set a default position for which direction the unit will face when not in use. However it is slightly disappointing that the screen tilt can only be changed by hand as we wanted this to be able to monitor our dogs - on a hip-height table it’s is unable to view the surrounding floor inside a 10 foot perimeter. For anyone with Ring devices, this works seamlessly with the doorbell, floodlight, indoor camera & home security alarm kit. Also works well with controlling Hue lighting, Hive thermostat & Dyson Pure hot + cool fan.

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.

Amazing peice of hardware. Upset they haven't made an updated model with the spinning screen great for an island. It has decent speakers i expected better but it does that job. Setup was easy like usual. Love the design. Wish they had no ads and you can have the gallery on all the time.

What a fabulous piece of kit. The sound quality alone makes it a worth purchase. The screen following you around the room is very disconcerting at first, but as it's run by a silent brush less motor it's fine. Great quality all round.
