Echo Show 15 + Remote | Full HD 15.6" smart display with Alexa and Fire TV built in

Item is perfect. Quick delivery and great quality.

The media could not be loaded. I love my Echo Shows!My little boy has an Echo Show 5 in his room, we have an Echo Show 10 in the Dining Room, and we have this Echo Show 15 in the Kitchen.Considering this Show 15 is the same price as the Show 10, it’s a no brainer - if you’ve got the space, get the Show 15. I mean, they both serve different purposes (the Show 10 has a built in sub and a much bigger speaker, and fits neatly in to a smaller gap, and is obviously free standing), but if I had to choose between buying the two again - I would hands down pick the 15. The motion sensor on the 10 doesn’t always want to play nicely and we frequently have to realign it as it goes off wherever it feels like (facing the wall for instance) and just stays there, so you can’t see the screen. But we’ve had no problems at all with the 15.This was easy to install on the wall, the template and the bracket supplied make it an easy job even for a DIY novice (such as myself!). Once installed, it’s neat and it’s secure, no movement on the wall. We’ve tacked the cable to run neatly across the top of the tiles to the plug socket so it looks really unobtrusive.Once set up, you’ll be impressed. It just works so well. You can have tiles on your main screen that denote various tasks you can do, you can have picture wallpaper, or if you wanted to, you could run a skill like I am in the video - this one is called Ambient Visions, and it can run constantly for 12 hours in a loop, there are loads of different effects to choose from, such as fireplaces, fish tanks, sea, rain, beaches, sleep stimulants etc. it’s brilliant. You can also have it with or without sound, but I’ve left the sound on here to hopefully show you how good the sound quality actually is.The picture quality is excellent, this is a really clear, bright screen. It’s big, so you can fit so much more information on it than the smaller shows, but I wouldn’t say it’s ridiculously huge or anything. It just looks like a moving picture frame hung on your wall! The brightness is good enough to see it clearly on a bright, sunny day. It doesn’t strain your eyes reading recipes or articles or anything like that.Sound quality is surprisingly excellent for what look like tiny little speaker grilles on the back. The volume goes high on this, you can get it blasting loud if you want to (I don’t!), and music is crisp and clear, with nuances perfectly well heard. It packs a decent amount of punch and bass too, I’ve heard instruments etc through this on songs I know well and love, that I’ve not heard through other speakers. This is one of the things I found surprising about this Show, I fully expected the sound to be tinny and lacklustre, but the sound quality is excellent.Alexa and voice recognition have both come on considerably. This is very good at picking up voices even from a distance. In fact, I can be stood right next to the Show 10 in a room two rooms away from the kitchen, and the 15 in the kitchen will pick up what I’m asking when the 10 next to me sometimes doesn’t. By and large, Alexa now gets it right far more often than she used to. She still has trouble with some song titles and artists, but I do listen to some obscure music to be fair. Generally speaking, the Show 15’s voice recognition and Alexa integration is far better than it used to be, and much better than any of the other Echos I have in the house.As you can probably tell from this review, I love the Show 15. I think it’s a brilliant bit of kit, works fantastically well and I’ve never had a spot of trouble with it. Dead easy to set up, use and rely on as your daily assistant. Mine hasn’t been buggy in the slightest, and touch wood, has never frozen or anything so far.I now wish the Show 15 had been out when I bought the Show 10 (it wasn’t), as without a shadow of a doubt, if you’re going to spend the £240 on a piece of kit, the 15 far outweighs the 10 in every way. The 10 is good, don’t get me wrong, but the 15 is in a class of its own.

We wanted something that will show the camera feed from our Ring doorbell when it’s rung. My main concern was that it would be slow to respond, but i decided to give it a try. I have to say it has met my expectations and beyond. The doorbell feed shows up in a few seconds either Picture in Picture or full screen. I think its shown full screen if the device was not displaying anything, though I’m not 100% sure. You can answer the doorbell by pressing the Mic button or re-establish the connection with the Mic on by default. Pressing the mic seems to have a delay at starting the audio, so you have to wait a few seconds before the audio starts coming through. Hopefully Ring/Amazon can sort this annoyance out.My secondary goal was to use it as a family, hub, display photos, play songs, show calendar and a smart home panel allowing manual switching off devices around the house from the screen. All of this is via widgets that you choose, some allowing resizing and some are fixed size.All of this functions quite well, though there are bugs or features that I’m not keen on.Calendar widget only shows calendar for next month only, e.g. in March you can only select up to end of April.Smart home panel does not always show the correct status for the device, you have to tap on it to refresh the status, it’s like there’s a refresh polling interval, as it does eventually go to the correct status. Though Hue lights do not suffer from this. Amazon, please fix this.Less adjustment for clock faces and home display than echo show 5Not the fastest navigation around the screen. Seems ok, but at times it can lag a bit, not as bad as the show 5, but not snappy.You can’t browse music, you have to use your voice to play a specific song or use their pre-defined play list. With Apple Music you can even do that.More widgets please, not a lot of selection.I currently have mine on the kitchen wall, i watch sky news (via YouTube) whilst having my breakfast, though i have to physically click play, you can’t start the live stream by voice. You can watch Netflix, Prime video, and browse the internet including the BBC iPlayer website. Unfortunately there is no native support for sky news and bbc iPlayer.I have photos from my album displaying on the clock widget, weather widget and notes, but wish we have more control on the layout. Widgets can be re-arrange but the clock is in set position. In landscape mode, it’s displayed on the left and fixed in that position.I have profiles setup for the family although and it allows them to setup their screen as they like but in reality it just gets left with what in set.It acts as a security camera when I’m away from home but also has the option to close the shutter on the camera for privacy.The speakers is good enough, but don’t expect to be decent quality as the speakers are facing backwards, it doesn’t quite have the depth as even the show 5. However, i have a kitchen speaker and i just tell it to connect to Bluetooth. You can use Apple Music, Amazon music or Spotify.Mounting it was simple, you get a paper mounting template so you know exactly where to drill holes in the wall. The cable is too short considering it’s meant to be hung on the wall. Unless your socket is nearby then it forces you to buy the extension. My socket is just over 2.2m away, so I had to spend some more to get the extension cable included. Small annoyance but the cable should clearly be longer.Overall, i love it and don’t regret buying this.
