  • The echo show line has been a staple in my house since the original one came out 6 years ago. Therefore I bought the Show 15 day one as I always wanted a wall mounted version. Here are my long term thoughts on it, generally I use it a lot and the upgraded screen size has been VERY useful!
    I hope you find this review useful and thanks for watching :)

    Yesterday, I put on a youtube video while cooking and I noticed they updated the on-screen touch controls 0:52. A nice update for sure 👆 as I mentioned I'm not sure why it was even like that from the get-go 😂

    I'm new to Amazon devices but considering this for kitchen streaming. Any streaming apps available on Fire TV are supported on this device, is that right?

      Yes that is correct, it's fantastic for the Kitchen! Here is a link so you can see yourself about streaming www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G8PWALDCEPNDN7EE

    I currently have a show 8 system with my mum in her care home. It is only used for video calls. The size of this screen is an advantage for her eyesight. Would the reduced camera sensor negate any benefit of the larger screen? Is the audio quality ok for a voice call?

    • @VladimirKostek
      @VladimirKostek  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Hi! The sensor is decent, it will not be as good as the 8 but the almost doubled screen size might make that worth it alone. I would say if you have adequate lighting it should be fine. Hope that helps!

      Hi Nick! I have lutron shades that I got from Home Depot. They have a decent selection there, I have also used somfy and hunter douglas shades as well. I'll be installing some new ones in my living room soon so perhaps I will do a vid on those!

    Can this be used to store and display scanned recipes rather than using a recipes app? I have many recipe cards id like scanned and put on s kitchen screen.

    • @VladimirKostek
      @VladimirKostek  Před 8 měsíci +1

      You could certainly upload scans to the Amazon photo app and then put them up on the screen. I would just make sure they are optimized for 16:9 or 9:16 depending which orientation you set yours up as. Hope that helps!

      I'm partial to the 15 just because of the screen size and cleaner wall mounting. They are very similar in price right now too

    I’m thinking of getting this for a friend who is paraplegic so needs something hands free to watch CZcams how handsfree is the echo show 15?

    • @VladimirKostek
      @VladimirKostek  Před 8 měsíci +2

      It is relatively handsfree, the youtube functionality is split however, there is an on screen remote or fire remote that you can use. You can also say some commands it will follow, you can also cast stuff over from a phone which is nice. Hope that helps a bit, not sure the exact limitations of your firend.

    it’s a waste of money in my opinion. I wanted it as a hub but it’s worthless for that. Now i’m gonna have to get the new hub coming out and use this as a kitchen aid for quick calendar and a couple other things. You can’t even get downloader to side load apps you like.
