How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers find the smart display's functionality useful and appreciate its stunning display with excellent picture quality. The device is easy to set up and has a nice-sized screen, with one customer highlighting its large 15.6" HD touch display. The Alexa integration receives positive feedback for home IoT capabilities, while the sound quality receives mixed reviews - though the volume is strong, some customers note the rear-facing speakers are muffled. The responsiveness is slow to react to touch inputs, and while the calendar widget feature is appreciated, customers mention the number of useful widgets is lacking.

4 out of 5 stars
Decent addition to an Alexa home
Received date 21-Nov Review date 23-Nov Have had the Show 15" for 2 days now, mounted it on day two and have been using it a bit for the last day and a half. I will update this review after I have had it for a while but these are my initial thoughts (all scores based on 1-5 stars): Screen - a 4.5; a nice big screen, looks very good. I think the white border around it is a little large and maybe it could have been slightly smaller. The video on it is nice though. I logged into my YouTubeTV account through Silk and watched TV, was a very nice experience. Sound - about a 3 or 3.5; this may be the most debated item in the reviews. My wife and I think the sound is fine. Is it the same as our Show 10 or our Sonos speakers? Nope. Is it good enough? Sure is, I don't think this is supposed to be the foundation of your sound system. Part of it may be where we have it mounted. We had a spot on the wall where our calendar was (yes we still used a wall calendar every year) hung. Since this is likely taking the place of that we put it there, so the speakers have the wall right behind it. The sound is decent enough when mounted like that. If you are demanding about your sound and need concert level sound out of every device, it will not satisfy you. Touch screen - about a 3; I work with touchscreens for a living so I know how a touchscreen should respond. The Show 15 is not up to par with modern touchscreens. I am not sure if it is because of the processor (more on that in a bit) or if it is just a poor touchscreen. But it should register touch a lot better for the technology era we are in. Voice commands/voice recognition - about a 3; as with every Alexa device I have owned since the very first original Echo (the tall, black cylinder back in 2015) the voice commands/recognition is not the best. It can be confusing on what command to give (my wife just tried "Computer, softer" to lower the volume and it could not understand the command) and it sometimes misses it's wake word. It also should be able to do some simple things like tell it what bookmark to open in Silk. The command of "Computer, open TV bookmark in Silk" is met with the old "Hmmm, I don't understand" reply. Come on Amazon, I could do that 5 or 6 years ago with my computer so the technology is there. Integration - about a 4; I have Ring cameras and to have them on my home screen and the ability to activate them with voice or touch is a nice addition. And of course integration into the Alexa universe if great as it should be. However, the integration with my Sonos system is a little lacking. I may need to work on that and tweak it to get it to work better but I would think it would be better out of the box. Speed - about a 2; the speed is atrocious on this thing. I bought it with the promise of it getting a FireTV like upgrade but I do not see how that will be anything worthwhile unless they are currently throttling the CPU and will inlock it when the update comes. It should be much snappier to do things like change screens, open apps (like Silk), and just generally do tings. Now, some it may be the touchscreen response (like I mentioned above) but voice commands also lag. This ting should be much speedier but I guess that is not on the list of things to do, just get it out he door. Mounting - 5; I chose to wall mount with the included mount (see pic). Mounting was a breeze, everything is included with the unit, and the instructions are pretty simple. A word of warning, there is a video on Amazon that shows different anchors than what I received. Is shows the white self-drilling "screw in" anchors that are quite good anchors but the video shows you tap them in with a hammer - DO NOT DO THAT. The whole pint of those anchors are to screw them into the drywall, if you hammer them in it will destroy the drywall and they won't hold. The ones I got were the familiar expansion anchors and they seem to work fine. Depending on where your outlet is you may need to purchase the "Made for Amazon Extension Cable, 6' Length, for Echo Show 15" by Sanus. We had to, and it is well worth it. I was able to run the power in a WAIP (Wife Approved Installation Path). The bracket allows for a nice solid mount and I can easily lift the unit off and rotate if needed (but we likely never will). Overall the unit is nice. My scores average out to a 3.57 but I will give the extra half star to the unit because it is a nice looking unit and seems to do what I intend to use it for - TV in the kitchen, a shopping list that is always available and easily added to, music, and a family calendar that is easily updated and seen. I would recommend a purchase at the $169 price point especially if you are already invested (even slightly) in the Echo ecosystem. Not sure that the unit is worth the full asking price though, although after the holidays when I have done all my cooking with it I may change my mind.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023Amazon did their best to get this returned to them.
I bought it with the remote but for some reason Amazon don't seem to understand how to have some "boxed with the remote" and some without!
They impressed me by delivering it on the same day as I ordered it and then undid all of their work by sending the remote as a separate item via U.S.P.S.
I'll bet you can guess what happened next can't you "dear reader?"
Yep! The Alexa arrived but the remote didn't and ended up stuck for 24 hours in B.F.E!
The Alexa show works, but not well without the remote and it finally arrived 48 hours later and after I received a generous discount not to send it all back for a complete refund.
An example? Trying to sign into Netflix without the remote demanded a phone number
(which I've never given them) but with the remote wanted a traditional email address and password.
Once everything was delivered it is a pretty good experience with one or two exceptions.
Alexa Show was easily integrated with the house finding smart switches etc without any effort on my part. I had to tell it which wifi to connect to but that was all.
I have other Alexa's in the house but because of that I can't say what it would be like to set up as an only or first unit.
The touch screen works fine and it seems to be easy to customise Alexa Show to individual requirements.
If you are reading this and have either noticed my user name or spelling then perhaps you will understand an issue on the "Fire tv" side....
Being from another country I don't watch your "party political broadcasts" so CNN, Fox News are of no use to me.
I tend to watch Sky News from my home country and................ Despite there being an icon for it....It is not available on Fire tv, nor is BBC news.
Why not Amazon?
I can get these news services on all other streaming devices! Including Youtube, and BBC on an Alexa Dot as a news roundup.
Streaming on the Alexa show is good with a great picture but be prepared for gaps with some streamers.
I also uploaded my photo's from my phone and a P.C to Amazon photo's. to display on the "Show" as a screen saver and there I encountered another problem.
There are no filters!
The photo's display on the show and look very good however there appears to be no way to stop the Alexa showing every one of them.
So on the one hand you have an online storage and display system for your personal photo's but on the other you have no way of choosing which pictures are displayed.
In my case I had pictures on my phone where I needed to document a car accident (not my fault) for an insurance claim and these were all shown on the Alexa over and over. Surely it can't be that hard for Amazon to build a user filter for Alexa Show users???
Good job I don't have "risky" photo's!
I have had to go into the cloud and delete the pix I don't wan't displayed, which of course defeats the purpose of online storage.
Despite the problems above I have been very impressed with the Alexa Show 15.
It is honestly a fantastic addition to the Alexa family and I am very pleased with it.
I think the reader can see that it's problems are not with the device itself but rather Amazon's lack of thinking about how it might be used.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2025I have my Amazon Echo Show 15 mounted on my kitchen wall. It is in an area where I do the majority of my food prep. I have bread machine, a top of the line that has the worse signal when to add extras like seeds, etc. All I do now is walk away and work on other things and ask Alexa to set a timer. When the timer is ready it sends out a loud sound altering me. I have hearing difficulty and it helps so much.
I love the Show because it keeps my calendar with great widgets to add for whatever I am looking for; I can even watch a movie if I want. But, mostly I listen to music that I can share to my other Echo devices or let my show work alone. If I wanted to, I could add an external bluetooth speaker to make it even more enjoyable.
The screen is bright with a large keyboard that is easy to add information, the touch part of the screen use always works great. It was easy to hookup to my home WiFi and never gives me any type of problem.
The Echo Show15 is awesome and well worth the price because of its ability to help keep my life organized.

But, mostly I listen to music that I can share to my other Echo devices or let my show work alone. If I wanted to, I could add an external bluetooth speaker to make it even more enjoyable.
The screen is bright with a large keyboard that is easy to add information, the touch part of the screen use always works great. It was easy to hookup to my home WiFi and never gives me any type of problem.
The Echo Show15 is awesome and well worth the price because of its ability to help keep my life organized.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2021When the new Echo Show 15 was announced I was thrilled. I have the Echo 5, 8, and 10 and love all of them.
The primary reason for this purchase was my desire to have a larger screen that I could more easily manage the many Amazon widgets available to me. I mounted it in my home office and so glad that I did!
It’s so easy to install that I actually thought I was doing it wrong because the instructions seemed so simple.
Pros:
• Easy to Mount with the wall Mount. Screen comes with the wall Mount template, Mount, and bolts.
• Easy fast setup if you have other Amazon devices.
• Very good loud sound quality. I started the setup and went upstairs to grab something and could hear Alexa announcing she was done with the setup all the way upstairs!
• Love the Large screen and easy to use widgets. It will take a while for me to figure out which widgets I get the most use of, but appreciate the many options that will help me manage my day and home.
Cons:
• No base or stand is included. This could be a downer for anyone living in an apartment where you can’t just drill into the wall. Ideally you should get a base for the screen, however it only comes with the screen and wall Mount w/Bolts.
• You can’t swivel on the Mount from Landscape to Portrait mode. Choose wisely when mounting it. If you want to change the physical orientation of the screen you must remove it and re-apply in the new orientation.
• Some setup features wouldn’t work during setup such as Voice ID. I wanted to create a profile for my son so he can add to the events, reminders, and grocery list. The screen would not advance after the first requested prompt he had to repeat. After 4 attempts we decided to skip it and we will try again at another time.
I am strongly considering installing one of these in each of my rooms of my house to replace the existing 5/8/10 Echo Shows. Looks lovely and very easy to use.
