Pros and Cons of the Echo Show / Spot
Echo Show
Pros
- Bigger Screen
- Looks sleeker from the front
- Has a better quality microphone
- Has a better inbuilt speaker
Cons
- The sound itself can get quite ‘bassy’, listening to male friends sounds worse than female friends
- It could be thinner, I don’t need the need for how chunky this is.
- Does cost an additional $100
Echo Spot
Pros
- Fits in much better at a home environment
- The video quality is crystal clear
- Considerably cheaper than the Echo Show
Cons
- The video footage you see is cropped, as a camera records in box / rectangle, you’ll miss out potential details.
- Whilst it’s cheaper than the Show, it is expensive.
Echo Spot And Ring Doorbell
It’s 2019, what are you doing with a standard doorbell that irritates everyone in the building? You know the best fix for this is the Ring Doorbell connected to your Echo Spot? It’ll alert you directly based on wherever you go because of how portable the Spot device is. Ring also sends notifications for motion if you enable it, this means you can see if someone is about to deliver something without them actually ringing the doorbell, giving you a few more seconds to put your trousers on! Another solution here is if you don’t have a doorbell which tells the whole house someone is there, if you’re often outback and busy doing the gardening, Ring can contact your Echo Device which is obviously a lot easier to move than a plug based doorbell or a hardwired doorbell.What Else Can an Echo Spot/Show Do?
