I have the echo show 15. My grandfather has an echo show 10. Each week we sit and have coffee together. We see each other and even show items to each other. It is ❤
We have to be a bit more realistic here. True the Echo Show 21 is not the most responsive screen compared to, say, your typical ipad (though I have experienced frustrating screen response issues over the years with some ipads having used them since the first one in 2010). But a basic ipad, the 13" ipad air, is twice the price of the 21 inch Echo Show. Guess how much Apple would charge for a 21 inch device with the same screen technology of an ipad? I find it perplexing how people in this day and age expect the best technology for the bare minimum price. Things just don't work that way. Meanwhile, the Echo Show 21 is an all around excellent home assistant at a price that other companies like Apple could never match.
@@larryb4392 Oh man...this is not a "bare minimum price" product, now you can find 120hz screens on everything, but the lame products apple sell, Amazon could do a lot better for that price, but these products are "bare minimum" specs for as much money they can charge, with that money you can get a tv box and a 144hz monitor instead
I got it, The Price is no compare with iPad, but the widgets also very limited, and many useless, I feel like they didn’t even trying, i mean it’s $300-400 dollars products, it’s not cheap in anyway, and they are Amazon, one of the biggest player out there, I just don’t get it, please help me.
We have a gen 1 Echo 15 that we bought on Woot for $150, and we love it! We bought it to replace our bedroom TV, which was too big and which we rarely watched. It quickly became our favorite Echo device. In the morning we can check the weather, our commute, and check our security camera to see if we need to scrape ice off of our windshield. We can also check the local news to see if there are any school delays. When we do want to watch TV in the bedroom the Echo 15’s small screen is adequate. It uses easy to criticize all of the echo devices. They can be laggy, Alexa has been dumbed down to encourage people to pay for the AI version (if it ever comes out). The ads seem to really annoy people, but we don’t even notice them. For us, the utility of the Show 15 outweighs its faults. We love it! But I wouldn’t pay $300 for it!
I want this one, I have the 15 and use it for Eufy cameras and calendar in the bedroom. Also have one in my daughter's room. My daughter uses both for youtube or other streaming. I want this one but can't think of what to do with an extra 15

I am glad the mount is the same, I can just do a swap out! Awesome, Can’t wait to order this thing now. We use ours as a wall mounted calendar, and it’s been quite useful. it’s like having a Smart Fridge, without having to….have a Smart fridge.
I just ordered the new Echo Spot with the clock. I Like that I can set reminders for the family and it speaks it instead of sending it to my phone. Wish Apple would get on board with that.
This would have been perfect for my elderly mother. She would have loved it. She had all this kind of functionality on her iPad, Apple Watch, and IPhone. Be best feature is that it is powered instead of rechargeable. She enjoyed the Ring Cameras and photos. I have an Echo and a Dot. I don’t think I would use this any more than I use the dot and Echo. Thanks for this overview.
I own the previous generation. We use it in our bedroom 😊. The Echo 15, the new one in our living room. We love it. Not so much the price! The new stand is overpriced. I watch TV over it, ask Alexa, add something to the shopping list, calendar etc... I wish it had more widgets available. Overall a nice smart display from Amazon.
I like the concept of this product for sharing photos and calendars. I look forward to Apple's answer in this category. I am sure it will be very awesome.
@@tafb94force29the real issue is not about price, it’s about not paying $300 for a complete subpar product. Amazon have had over a full decade to improve Alexa but failed to do so.
Modern materials simple and great looks. Screen could have a higher resolution at some point, but the UI and how slow the animations look is a deal breaker. I was actually thinking of getting this.
The previous Echo Show 15 model had the ability to upload smartphone photos directly to the Echo Show and display them as photo frames. However, from the video at 8:45, it looks like that feature has been lost. It would be great to know if that feature is still there!
Hi. Thx for the in-depth review of the show 21. 👍🏻 Would you be able to share with us the dimension of the packaging box itself (yes, the brown box that holds the echo)? I need to know to purchase it and resent it over to another country thru my 3rd party courier, which has a size dimension restriction on packages. Thx!
I can't believe that thing cost a lot more than this brand new 50 inch 4K Roku smart TV I just got for my bedroom on sale for like $130! which has a new 4K fire Max stream stick connected to it that cost me about $20 Yeah, that's not going to work for me and I still have My Other Amazon echo show 8 that works great. I'm not sold on this! I'll wait for next year on prime day when they have a sale and this might be a lot cheaper. Good reveal bro!
I was really hopeful when I heard this was coming out, particularly with little in terms of competition, but I’m disappointed with what I’ve seen. There’s not a huge amount to offer. I’d be interested to know if you can completely customise the UI as I wouldn’t want to lose almost half a screen for one element.
I wish there were more powerful tools to orgaise a family like skylight !!! like kids routine, individual chores lists etc.. has, seem to be a lack of available apps too.
I thought it would be great for a common room calendar device. But it doesn’t sync with any other calendars. You have to redo you events in the separate calendar. That’s really dumb and needless to say, it doesn’t get used for that. It’s basically a kitchen TV.
I have one Ring doorbell that's about as far as I am needing to go in the Amazon smart home ecosystem. This is a neat device but it would be nothing more then a UA-cam player as I am washing dishes or cooking dinner.
I have a Alexa Show 5 and this looks like the same device with a bigger screen that hands on the wall. Unless I need a spare TV, this looks like a solution looking for a problem! Aaron, do you actually use this to good advantage?
This is great, can you be more specific on the ads? I have an echo show 10 that i use to see my ring system, but the amount of ads and unwanted amazon junk drives me insane. I’m in settings like weekly turning everything off. Does this have the same issue? Like i see in the 11 minute mark there’s a Bloomberg thing on the screen, was that by force or by choice. Thanks!
They force ads. As a workaround, I changed my location to Canada (where the ads are not forced) They are gone but of course “favorites” and “favourites” now 😂
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I have an echo and it’s literally just a watch and a speaker I can barely see. I pick a Home Screen and it changes, the os is buggy . Just not a fan. I have dots for sound in 2 other rooms. Maybe it’s more useful for people who aren’t single idk
I came across this electric photo frame that displays movies. It’s a bit of a gimmick, though, since it requires a power source. I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost compared to buying old iPads for this purpose.
I hope you will review the Light Phone 3 when it comes out early next year Aaron. I don’t trust google, amazon, twitter or facebook so I won’t have any of these devices in my home. The only Amazon device I have is a Kindle Scribe… I don’t use Siri too. 🏴
The thing I like about Amazon devices, as you can have it and to end encrypted for things such as ring cameras, and also there are physical covers for the camera and physical disconnect for the microphone. Apple doesn’t offer that and Google sort of offers that.
A wall-mounted picture frame screen/monitor smart home device. I can see homes with this device in every room, allowing parents to track and monitor their children's use, manage home security, and check on their pets. So what will Apple's response offer become? Lol!😂🎉
Apple TV. I have an echo show 15 in every bedroom. I have a 4 bedroom house. I also have an Alexa display in every area in the house. I have an apple TV in the living room, kitchen, and office room. I have 24 cameras total inside and outside. My apple TV streams 10 of the home kit compatible cameras at the same time. These frames can steam all 24 but not all at once. Have to admit, it's highly useful. Apple has a good ecosystem but Amazon adds what Apple doesn't and vice versa. I have smart buttons that quickly stream my doorbell, front yard and back yard. It's all cool. I have about 15 echo devices and 10 siri devices. All devices include Alexa capable Sonos or Denon . Also Denon is Siri capable. I'm such a sheep. Haha
Of course the Echo Show 21 is not audiophile quality. But I had the Echo Show 15 from 2022 and upgraded to the new Echo Show 21. I find the sound on the new model to be distinctly more full and clear. In fact, casual music listening on the device is surprisingly good.
We have 2024 version of the echo show 15. Incredibly laggy and buggy. Very frustrating to use. Lots of promises of what it could do, but in everyday life it is ridiculously underpowered, and does not even come close to what it promises to deliver. We constantly have to unplug it just to get it to work for basic use. I would only be interested in the 21-inch version if it was sporting a significantly upgraded and more powerful CPU, faster and more memory. In short, a nice idea very badly implemented with way underpowered CPU and interface. If you know anything about computers you will stay away until they make this thing even close to what they promise.
I'm looking forward to see what apple has to ofer in 3-4 years time once they've finished blaming "supply chain issues" for the delays from bringing it to market.
For this price I would expect better. It's so reflective and laggy... but just an ad board your wall. I'm moving away from amazon products due to the amount of ads etc
Love the videos as always, but this is a huge miss for Amazon. $400 for a 21” 1080p super reflective display, that lags/stutters and displays ads. No thanks! I’ll pass on this one.
Hi can anyone help me I just got my echo 21 today I was on video with a friend and it was like I was moving does this echo 21 have a motion thing on it as I can't find how to stop this at all I've went into alexa app and followd what it's said but nothing turns this off can anyone help me with this please Thankyou Pep
I really like and use firesticks on my tvs but the advertising is getting to be too much. I can see how this would make a good kitchen tv smart hub deal. Too bad its laggy and has too many ads.
A correction…You said this is higher resolution than the Echo Show 15. It is actually the same 1080p resolution just a larger display. The DPI on this Echo show 21 is actually lower since they have the same resolution. IMO this 21” Echo show should be 4K not 1080P! Plus, the $399 MSRP for this is Echo show 21 is insane! The echo show 15 MSRP was only $249 until this was released. Now Amazon raised the MSRP price of the Echo Show to $299 to justify the pricing on the new Echo show 21 at $399. The Echo show 15 was also less than $200 on many occasions. With a 25% device trade-in there have been several occasions where the Echo Show 15 was under $100 on sale and with the 25% allowance. Amazon has dropped the trade-in allowance to 20% just in time for this Echo Show 21 release. Amazon is not offering any introductory pricing on this Echo Show 21 either. It is full MSRP! ;. Some issues we have found with the Echo show 15 that I am sure have not been addressed in the Echo Show 21 : Still has a glossy screen vs a matte screen Essentially the same internal hardware board as show in the teardown on another YT channel. They did not redesign anything internally! It still has the SAME buggy software as the Echo Show 15. Eventually ALL ECHO Show 15s WILL brick at some point during a firmware update GUARANTIED! Since the 21 uses an identical mainboard you can expect the same with this Echo Show 21. You better get an extended warranty! Amazon tried to prop up lousy sales of the Echo Show 15 by adding FireTV. FireTV on Echo How is a joke. It only supports a subset of the features of s FIreTV Stick HD and that device costs less than $20 and you can use it on any device with HDMI! You cannot stream any OTA recorded content to FireTV on Echo Show which makes the FireTV Recast useless on Echo Show devices. Why pay $400 to watch FireTV in 1080P on this device when I can buy a FireTV Stick 4K with full FireTV OS functionality for around $20???
Just curious, what features are missing on the Fire TV side? Looking to get this for our kitchen as nobody else makes a small LCD any more and this would really be a perfect fit.
I quit using the Show series. No matter if you turn off ads or suggestion that’s all it does. With each update they change my settings back. The newest show 5 is buggy, slow, and ads or suggestion all day and night. If I pay money for something I should be able to control what I want. They control it. Won’t use the show series ever again. I’ve had them since for several years and it gets worse with each update.
I have the Echo Show 5, and it's extremely laggy. If Apple launches a good home device with a screen, but affordable like Apple TV, it'll be a big headache for Amazon.

The echo show 15 MSRP was only $249 until this was released. Now Amazon raised the MSRP price of the Echo Show to $299 to justify the pricing on the new Echo show 21 at $399. The Echo show 15 was also less than $200 on many occasions. With a 25% device trade-in there have been several occasions where the Echo Show 15 was under $100 on sale and with the 25% allowance. Amazon has dropped the trade-in allowance to 20% just in time for this Echo Show 21 release. Amazon is not offering any introductory pricing on this Echo Show 21 either. It is full MSRP!
;.
Some issues we have found with the Echo show 15 that I am sure have not been addressed in the Echo Show 21 :
Still has a glossy screen vs a matte screen
Essentially the same internal hardware board as show in the teardown on another YT channel. They did not redesign anything internally!
It still has the SAME buggy software as the Echo Show 15. Eventually ALL ECHO Show 15s WILL brick at some point during a firmware update GUARANTIED! Since the 21 uses an identical mainboard you can expect the same with this Echo Show 21. You better get an extended warranty!
Amazon tried to prop up lousy sales of the Echo Show 15 by adding FireTV.
FireTV on Echo How is a joke. It only supports a subset of the features of s FIreTV Stick HD and that device costs less than $20 and you can use it on any device with HDMI! You cannot stream any OTA recorded content to FireTV on Echo Show which makes the FireTV Recast useless on Echo Show devices. Why pay $400 to watch FireTV in 1080P on this device when I can buy a FireTV Stick 4K with full FireTV OS functionality for around $20???
I never mentioned resolution. I just said that it was 1080 P.
Just curious, what features are missing on the Fire TV side? Looking to get this for our kitchen as nobody else makes a small LCD any more and this would really be a perfect fit.
it better cook me dinner for that price
I quit using the Show series. No matter if you turn off ads or suggestion that’s all it does. With each update they change my settings back. The newest show 5 is buggy, slow, and ads or suggestion all day and night. If I pay money for something I should be able to control what I want. They control it. Won’t use the show series ever again. I’ve had them since for several years and it gets worse with each update.
I have the Echo Show 5, and it's extremely laggy. If Apple launches a good home device with a screen, but affordable like Apple TV, it'll be a big headache for Amazon.
But Apple has no good Voice Assistant. Siri is garbage
I think its highly reflective 😢
Why are people so willing to give up their privacy, with these devices in your home?
🏴
Once you buy a smart phone all of your privacy disappears.
If you own a Smart Phone or Tablet you are already given up your privacy. In reality Smart Phones are much worse since you carry them everywhere.
It’s so exciting to watch someone take product out of a box! What a waste of time.

$400 for a device that looks 20 years old? lol no thanks 🤣
