Cute, nice size and pretty good features, but drops calls unexpectedly
The connectivity is the biggest issue that is unreliable. Several dropped calls randomly and the Echo Show is less than 10 feet from the main Amazon router. Additionally, I reset the network and internet settings 5 times now and it still has dropped calls. The Echo Show is small enough to fit nicely on desk or table and can still see the caller and they see enough through video phone calls just fine. You can add fun backgrounds and images during the call. Other person needs to have Alexa app downloaded onto their cell phone, or have another Amazon enabled device. The value was great because huge discount on Prime Day. The kids echo show features some additional Amazon Kids spp features such as changing to different kids friendly voices and other games and shows that are age level appropriate. The kids mode blocks outgoing calls except to parents in the same shared household. The features of the alarms and reminders is fantastic and I love adding the wallpaper and different customized routines and how it pairs easily with other Amazon devices in my place. I like the drop in feature as a small extra security feature.

 I recently got the Echo Show 5 (3rd generation) for my baby's nursery, and I absolutely love it! It's been perfect for playing soothing music while putting her to sleep. The ability to control the lights and play bedtime stories as she grows older is such a bonus. I also got the Echo Glow, which enhances the experience with its ability to set calming colors for bedtime and energizing ones for morning routines. The possibilities with these devices are endless, making them essential for creating a nurturing and interactive environment for my child. Highly recommend this setup for any parent looking to enhance their nursery with smart technology!

This is the perfect addition to any household. Set up was super easy, connects to wifi easily and working with the alexa app makes it super easy. I love the drop in feature this offers, when I have to leave the house I can still see whats going on. I can still talk to my husband and kids and see the whole 1st floor where the echo is located. We can even check in on our frenchie when we are out. My kids love to call their aunt and Grandmother as well. This feature is easy to setup on the alexa app you can connect to your phone and allow only who you want your kids to call. They just say "Alexa call Grandma" they can even Video call which is what we really use it for. Of course you have the ability to ask Alexa questions too. My kids have used this for the tooth brushing song and love it . The Echo can tell bedtime stories and they can even use this to watch shows or play music. We haven't explored all of the features yet but we look forward to it. The only upgrade I would like to see is that it can be charged and hold a charge, currently you need to keep this plugged in so its not easy to take into different rooms. I would like to be able to take these places like maybe out to dinner so My kids can watch a show, play a game while waiting for dinner or even to take on road trips. All and all we love this Echo show and I now want another for the other rooms in our home.

The power supply plug is extremely loose and we can’t even get through the setup without the device powering off. We bought this as a Christmas gift for our son and he is very disappointed on Christmas morning! Now when I try to get it replaced through Amazon the only option is to troubleshoot? I select the option in returns for “defective or broken!” What am I supposed to troubleshoot Amazon?

Update: Customer service reached out to me on this quite promptly. They were very apologetic and have already shipped a replacement unit. I will amend the star rating once we receive the replacement.

Update: customer service provided an upgraded unit and we had no problems setting it up. Kids love it!

I already had one Echo 5 and liked it. This is the next generation and not much different than the the one I have but it's nice. I've had the other one for couple of years and it's still going strong. The only problem is that Alexa will not understand what I perceive to be simple instructions. For instance, cancel such and such alarm. Alexa well sometimes tell me I don't have an alarm set for that time when in fact I do . Or, does not give me enough time to finish my sentence when giving a directive and I am speak loudly clearly and fast. Even when I slow down it doesn't seem to get it. Interestingly that's not all the time that's just sometimes. I don't use it a lot but I'm happy with it. I especially like that you can change the voice on the Alexa.

So let’s start off. I am 21 years old, I’m aware this is a KIDS echo show but I only wanted it for the galaxy colors. I always wanted and echo show simply because I wanted to be able to spy on my cats, and to have my photos display on the screen. It was originally $99.99 but it was on sale and I scored it for $50. It was worth every penny! I adore my echo show, I love seeing the memories it shows, I love everything about it!

I wanted a device for my 5 and 6yo to play music by being able to look at their Spotify playlist and touch the song they want by its picture.
- this is Spotify compatible I thought, but you can’t use it like the Spotify app. It works just like a normal Alexa were you have To verbally ask Alexa for the name of the song you want, which is impossible for a 5 and 6yo to know all the names of the songs they like, and ask properly. Or you go through the Alexa app on your phone to play it, which again they can’t do on their own. Sooo pointless

Next I wanted them to be able to face call me, their dad, grandparents, and a cousin. Put the numbers in the app (they have to have Alexa apps too which they do). None of the numbers work except me and their dad. I called tech support on the phone an hour. They said I did everything by right but calls to anyone outside our home do not work. so again pointless

Lastly, I wanted to be able to turn off video watching. Advertised as having parental controls…. Have not found a way to turn that option off, so my kids can be glued to YouTube all day once they found the video button… great pointless again.

It recently has not been able to connect to our internet and honestly that is fine haven’t even tried to fix it because it sucks and all it does is makes me want to throw it out a window.

We got these for our kids for Christmas. They finally came in February. We saw after we purchased in early December that they'd be taking awhile to get here but we got 2 for the price of one so it was worth the wait.

I have had the 8" on my desk for a year and a half. I like to be able to drop in their rooms and ask them to come down for dinner or whatever else without having to yell or go up 2 levels to their rooms.

My husband set them up and my sons has a little boy voice. He loves asking him all the questions that come to his mind and asking it to tell jokes

My daughter loves listening to music and having the lyrics on the screen.

Great purchase.
