Echo Show 15 - Long Term Review

The echo show line has been a staple in my house since the original one came out 6 years ago. Therefore I bought the Show 15 day one as I always wanted a wall mounted version. Here are my long term thoughts on it, generally I use it a lot and the upgraded screen size has been VERY useful!
I hope you find this review useful and thanks for watching :)

Yesterday, I put on a youtube video while cooking and I noticed they updated the on-screen touch controls 0:52. A nice update for sure 👆 as I mentioned I'm not sure why it was even like that from the get-go 😂

This thing looks awesome, I actually didn't know they made it. Also big +1 for some Talib Kweli!

i use mine for a smart home dashboard, it also shows to do lists, shopping lists the weather and a photo stream that i update with new photos of family all the time. it turns off fully if no motion detected for a certain duration. it also shows security cameras. it makes me laugh when most people see this as a way to watch prime video while cooking.

I'm new to Amazon devices but considering this for kitchen streaming. Any streaming apps available on Fire TV are supported on this device, is that right?

Where did you get the wall mount (the basic white one from?) I can only seem to find the under cabinet ones and swivel/ Extendable types

[slartibartfast]

Good video, thanks. I just ordered one off Amazon 👍

I currently have a show 8 system with my mum in her care home. It is only used for video calls. The size of this screen is an advantage for her eyesight. Would the reduced camera sensor negate any benefit of the larger screen? Is the audio quality ok for a voice call?

I would like to know what is the monthly wattage consumption for this device, I haven’t found any information about it.
Really useful video by the way!

This is the poor man's Family Hub fridge screen 😆

I'm still waiting for a 2nd gen of this 15.

I’m thinking of getting this for a friend who is paraplegic so needs something hands free to watch YouTube how handsfree is the echo show 15?

[soniklabstudios]

How customisable is the home screen? Can I set it up it up to have Calendar/To-do's/post it notes and thats it? TIA!

Would you rather get the 10 or the 15 in your opinion from today ?

[nickjsam]

Hey Vladimir, what brand of smart shades do you have and would you recommend them? Thanks!

[mybachhertzbaud]

If this is your favorite kitchen companion, I would suggest you get out more.😜

[ResurrectMee]

Almost another year later. Do you still recommend purchasing it?

[badboyjca]

it’s a waste of money in my opinion. I wanted it as a hub but it’s worthless for that. Now i’m gonna have to get the new hub coming out and use this as a kitchen aid for quick calendar and a couple other things. You can’t even get downloader to side load apps you like.
