Echo Show 15 (2024) Review: The Family Command Center

The Echo Show 15 is less a gadget than a family hub: calendars, lists, photos and smart home controls on one big screen, plus Fire TV for when the kitchen becomes the TV room.

Key features

• The big 15.6-inch Full HD screen makes calendars and to-do lists readable from across the room.
• Built-in Fire TV turns it into a kitchen TV.
• The smart home dashboard puts lights, cameras and more in one place.
• The included stand means you don't have to wall-mount it.

Best for

Busy families who want a shared calendar and smart home hub in the kitchen.

Things to consider

• It's large, so plan your counter or wall space.
• You get the most out of it only if your household uses Alexa calendars and lists.
• Speakers are adequate, not great, for TV watching.

Verdict

A brilliant family organizer if you'll use the widgets. Otherwise the Echo Show 8 is the better value.
