The 9 Best 10 Alexa Shows (2023 reviews)

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a show. This product is exactly that - it's a simple product that hits all the right notes. The sound quality and style of design is improved, and Alexa as a cloud service and voice assistant, combined with the many, many, integrations with other products makes the Alexa/Echo ecosystem the best integrated smart home products line out there. It comes with a big front camera upgrade, not only in terms of resolution but in terms of the features it offers too, adding pan and zoom. The stand should be included with the device, and the power cord could perhaps be at least another 6 inches in length.

The built in light sensor works very well to dim the display to just clock/temperature at light-appropriate levels for sleeping. The commands are easy to execute. The device will not stop popping banners of news headlines onto the screen, despite the fact that all news notifications are disabled and no news sources are selected and no news sources are selected. This would be the perfect gift for young families.

Why We Like This:

Integration with ring is smooth and exceelent
Much more user friendly, easy to set up and intuitive
Voice commands to control smart home devices are super useful
