Alexa Enabled HD TV

Reviewed in Australia on 29 November 2022

Configuration: Device onlyVerified Purchase

The Echo Show 15 is a nicely built display with 1080p resolution and good quality sound. But - I waited until the recent Amazon announcement that Fire TV will be implemented on the Show 15 by software upgrade. This will make it a really useful Alexa enabled HDTV for my kitchen.
The delivery of this item (Australia Post) took only one business day - which is very impressive! Unfortunately, I have today ordered an Amazon stand for the Show 15 ?(it only comes with wall mount bracket) and the order shipment confirmation, just in, says expedited delivery and expect by Dec 19! This time Amazon have chosen the worst courier company in Australia (Aramex) —- if only they would go exclusively with Aust Post for regional NSW.

It’s very nice and I use it for listening to radios and watching TVof a number of European studios. To watch On Demand movies, to call friends, to record shopping and events. The are paired with other devices, like the doorbell and my hearing aids. We have four in different rooms so we can access one in more than 4 spots. It recognizes my voice and my wife’s. I have no experience with other brands, my fiend has Apple devices and is happy with those. If I have one complaint it regards the sound. That should be further improved without having to buy expensive speakers.

Great piece of kit but terrible speakers!

Reviewed in Australia on 7 June 2023

Configuration: Device onlyVerified Purchase

I've had all of the echo show units and I got this because I wanted to be able to watch streaming services in the kitchen on a bigger screen (I spend a lot of time in the kitchen). Its easy to use and looks great.

I really resented having to spend an extra $60 to get a decent stand for it but the stand is great and needed if you want to not mount it and also want to be able to rotate the screen. Its easy to set up and use, you really do need to get the remote also for ease of use, it really should come with both the stand and the remote.

The only thing I really take issue with though is the speakers, they are truly terrible. They are smaller and so much tinnier than my 10 inch echo that I replaced, I've had to use a bluetooth speaker because I can't stand the sound coming out of the speakers on this.

All that aside I don't regret the purchase, its a great size for the kitchen and the integration of fire tv makes it a big upgrade for me than the previous echo where I could only watch Netflix or Prime Video. Fire tv supports all the streaming services I have.

I pretty much own now, one of each device available from this range, and I have found that the 15 inch Is far superior to all the others I would highly recommend this to anybody who is looking to get into Alexa Devices
It gives a good presentation And the overall look is really good.
If you’re not looking to get into home automation, it would still do very good for you in Bowral to use it as a diary or reminder note to take care of your day-to-day needs.

Absolutely missed opportunity

Reviewed in Australia on 15 May 2022

Configuration: Device onlyVerified Purchase

Update approx 1 year in:
Stability has improved in some areas but still overly unreliable. Having personal photos scrolling in the background gets stuck on loops of 10 photos when you have 100. Then it fails at that - and shows a generic blue background and wastes 1/3 of your screen for nothing, sometimes the ring cameras are showing full screen in the slideshow spot but only 1/3 visible. Sometimes everything doesn’t load and just shows a giant full generic blue background, showing the time in the bottom left corner - but grey text making impossible to read.

Maybe they read my review and added an “active media” button allowing you to select the speaker group that’s actively playing for multiple Alexa devices in the house. This makes bumping music from inside to outside for entertaining much easier. A useful addition Thanks.

They have also slightly improved the pull down menu for smart home groups. But the feature seems to lack integration into widgets, or the ability to favorite commonly used options presenting a giant list to scroll through - still forcing you to go into sub menus to access things that should be available to put on Home Screen - since you know… it’s a smart home visual wall mounted display .

Even though I have it all turned off. My slide show in plagued with “Alexa suggestions”. And ask “Alexa what’s the joke of the day”. This is ALSO on my smaller display Alexa’s which is INFURIATING. You go to look at the device and your looking at useless BS messages that have absolutely nothing to do with what you want to see on the screen.

Would I buy one today. Hrmmmmm. So much still needs work. It’s a giant visual display still relying on old voice commands to retain functionality defeating the purpose of a wall mounted touchscreen. If it’s on a great special, maybe. “Something went wrong” Goodluck!

Update approx one month in;

THE BUGS ARE OUT OF CONTROL! Seriously the single most buggy device I have EVER owned. You press one button it does another. One minute it’s on the Home Screen, next it’s half stuck on something else. The absolutely completely useless half baked widgets constantly fail to load. Click on ring cameras (owned by Amazon) and they load 40% of the time. Sometimes they stream for 10 Seconds other times 5 mins, other times “something went wrong”. Then sometimes it goes to black screen crashes or goes to slide show. Tell it one thing it does another. Sometimes I want to see the time and it’s gone back into slideshow when I wasn’t watching. EVERY single time I’ve shown this to someone it has wigged out… every time!!

Amazon deserve MASSIVE credit for their integration with smart home devices, voice control is great… but whoever is on their software UI team for echo shows - absolutely every single one of them need to be fired and start again.. Im sorry. It’s 2022 - the shows are not new… every person I know who has one agrees. None of my shows have gotten any better. “Why are their UI’s soooo bad”.

- contact me and let me give you a bug list. Let me give you 20 ways this product could be phenomenal as a smart home hub.

Update on Music control…. A big visual interface totally wasted… Spotify widget will only show you recommend albums or recents - not even what’s currently playing or the ability to pause play or skip songs and ZERO way of searching for a song. Absolutely completely useless app to control or select music…. I thought I saw “current song” once. But I’ve never been able to get that screen again.

Original review:
Let me explain how this product is yet another massive Alexa show failure. I own 60+ Smart home devices too many Alexa’s to count. I’ve been looking for a smart VISUAL interface to control routines and groups, see my ring cameras all by physical touch with an interactive calendar. I thought this was it. I was let down.

Bugs
—-
Let me start by saying this show is BUGGY as hell and nearly as disappointing as my echo show 5’s with more functionality for the price. Apps/ cameras fail to load, screen is jerky and slow. Things pop up on the home display even though we have them turned off. And I’ve only owned it for 24 hours.

—-
Home Screen
—
WHY WHY WHY must you be forced to see 1/3 of the screen as a clock and photos/ or suggestions??!!!! Rolling information is not helpful, I doubt anyone wants to sit and wait for information to scroll at random on the screen surely?

I would like to see an option of utilizing ALL the screen Real-estate for home automation control (cameras, calendar, routines, groups and lists etc). Yet I am I forced due to lack of options - to have a photo wall paper or scrolling Alexa suggestions taking up 1/3 of the screen. If I wanted a photo frame I would buy a photo frame!!! PLEASE make the useless greedy background Home Screen optional!!!!!!

—-
Music control
—
Spotify widget is USELESS. No basic audio control AT ALL. Just select random recommended songs or recently played. No play, pause, skip or search, or even speak group selection.

——
Severe lack of smart home control widgits
——

What’s most infuriating is that, I can’t have a routine or group widget or both. I would love custom light switches widget, ring camera widget , routines widget and light group widget/ fans as separate home control. What I’m asking for is literally an uncomplicated physical link to information your Alexa account already knows - but your not given a Home Screen control for it... your forced to dive into automation sub menus to turn on a routine.

Instead you have one widget choice - “favorites” with space for 4 buttons to pick! (You can’t turn on kitchen “group”, you can’t turn in the “all on routine”) but you can turn on 4 favorite bulbs individually!!!! Wow!

In short, Routines are the absolute bees knees of smart home automation and you can’t put a routine button permanently on the Home Screen. Ie “all on” or “all off” or “dinner time routine” or “bed time” routine. Why would you buy a 15” screen if you want to do this with voice.

Every digital calendar I’ve ever used has a dot over the day in a month display to say you have something on that day. The calendar does not have this. You must click on each day to see if your busy or not. Wasted opportunity. That being said it’s the ONLY part of this device that’s reliable.

Summary
-
Overall. If your looking to control your smart home with a physical LCD interface. Don’t bother with this product unless they release some practical updates and features. They are relying on voice control to fill the gaps of a visual display completely defeating its purpose. If you want an expensive janky interactive display with non practical visual ways to interact with your smart home. This would be perfect for you.

I’ll update this review if anything changes. I’m happy for amazon to contact me to improve this user experience for those who utilize Alexa to control their entire smart home with large numbers of devices! At this stage it’s very feature poor, disgustingly buggy and fails to deliver on a SMART DISPLAY for home automation interaction IMHO.
