Me personally, when it comes to things like this I don't see it being too big, especially coming with a wall mount. I'm thrilled that Amazon has stepped their game up on this 21 inch unit, because this gives for a bigger and better viewing experience. I am also happy to hear that this model is heavy, which of course makes sense, because the bigger something is the more weight it's going to pick up regardless. Besides, when a product such as this packs weight like this, it tells me that the build quality is there. Like the old saying goes, there's different strokes for different folks. Besides, those not into the bigger ones, Amazon did of course build the 15 inch model and smaller for you. I already have the perfect spot for this one on this divider wall above my corner cabinet where my 15 inch model use to be. Good job Amazon. At this pricing range though, Amazon should have came in with boots on and nailed this 21 inch model with at least 4K UHD video and Doby Atmos, Maybe even got with Bose for the sound system, (this part doesn't matter too much to me because I'll be using my Bose soundbar anyway). And of course this is all just my own personal opinion.
Hey thanks for sharing your opinion. I think the more people talk about using this product the more people will be able to understand how it fits into there home.
Totally agree! I am excited to find a wall mounted device for the perfect wall in my kitchen. While the kiddos eat or I cook, I can enjoy watching shows, check the family calendar, and so much more. I also like the bigger screen and the ability of sharing pictures as I am not a fan of hanging picture frames on my beautiful and clean walls lol
@gabrielaa.1002 well I'm definitely learning people love hanging Echos on the wall. If I had the 15 I might be a little more excited as my kitchen has no wall space for these things.
@ You can’t really due to the weird wall setup we have, however you can see it from most important places. Since the kitchen is our homes “hub” having calendars and sticky notes etc is exactly what we need it for.
We have a Show 15 mounted on our bedroom wall (glad the camera has a shutter!). It replaced a Show 8 and a TV that were taking up too much space on my dresser. We love it! In the morning it wakes us up and we can check our commute, the weather, the security cameras, and the news before we even get out of bed. We rarely watch TV in bed, but when we do the Show 15 is sufficient. In many ways the 15 is better than we had expected. The Show 21 would serve that role even better! But we got the Show 15 for $150 from Woot. I didn’t pay full price for it. Would I pay $400 for a 21? Nope. But for $200 on Prime Day? Probably. Would I put either the 15 or the 21 in my kitchen? No. It wouldn’t fit anywhere in my kitchen, and the Show 5 I have in there works ok. I find the 21 to be interesting, but not compelling. The 15 works well enough for our needs. BTW, Fire TV on an Echo Show 15 is great! One of its best features!
Hey thank you for sharing that! You opened my eyes to a whole new use for the bigger echos. Replacing a small tv and echo show is a perfect use case for the big echos. 👍😀
Yeah for sure. I think 21 inches is too close to a small tv. So it will become hard for people to justify $400 for a tiny tv. But they do have a 15 inch that I'll review next.
Some can be resized, but yeah, they are a bit small. Good for viewing close up, not from a distance, really. They will probably fix this with an update soon. As this is the bigger echo yet. I bought a Fire Omni tv last year, and since then, they fully fixed all the bugs, making it the best.
I am looking for something to get besides the LG Stanbyme since that one is almost $800 on sale regularly almost $1000 regular price. I know it won’t be the same as the LG but I’m not looking to keep it in the kitchen solely. I want to get the stand to use in the bathroom and kitchen. Would it be a good option? Hopefully I explained good enough what I want to use it for
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I understand what you want. So you'll buy the standbyme "stand" and mount this on it? The standbyme by LG has a built-in battery, giving it 3 hours of viewing time. The Echo Show 21 doesn't have a battery. It has to be plugged in to get power and you'll need to see if the standing stand is compatible with the Show 21.
Yes most definitely but it's quite heavy so it would need to be a strong easel. I'll look into that though because I don't want to buy a $100 stand lol
I have the 15 in my kitchen and it was just the all things hub. Now it’s use is for my that and a place for my 18 month old to watch some miss rachel when eating 😅. Also, what’s up neighbor?! Haha I’m from greenfield.
Hey neighbor lol yeah my daughter used to watch cocomelon on our echo show 10 until she found the tablet lol now she stands at the island and watches RUclips kids 😀
Thank you for saving me. I had ordered the 21 and saw your video. Exchanged for 15 and am so happy
Oh that's great to hear! Thanks for sharing 😁

@gabrielaa.1002 also thanks for sharing 👍😀
I love that kitchen, especially the color of the cabinets.
Hey thanks I was excited when my wife picked out the blue 😁
I upgraded from the 15 to the 21 in my kitchen. Mounted it vertically and it works!!
Oh awesome. Can you see it from anywhere in your kitchen?
@ You can’t really due to the weird wall setup we have, however you can see it from most important places. Since the kitchen is our homes “hub” having calendars and sticky notes etc is exactly what we need it for.

Been looking for anything on this. thank you!

should I buy this or the new Show 15?
I'd say buy the 15 unless you are 100% sure it will fit in your kitchen/house. 👍😀
Thanks
🙏

Thanks
Amazon should have brought it out in a 17 inch or 18 inch which would have been much better.
Yeah for sure. I think 21 inches is too close to a small tv. So it will become hard for people to justify $400 for a tiny tv. But they do have a 15 inch that I'll review next.
I have been hearing the widgets are too small

But is it heavy?
Almost 11 pounds

Couldn’t you put it on a table top easel or similar?
Yes most definitely but it's quite heavy so it would need to be a strong easel. I'll look into that though because I don't want to buy a $100 stand lol
Can you customize to be one big calandar kind of like those
expensive smart calandars skylight and cozyla?
I'm not sure if you can or not. It does have a callender app and the ability to get more I believe.
Im sure there are off brand stands for this thing
Yep and I just bought it for $12 on Amazon! I'll make a review of it asap! Hey thanks 👍😁
@@AtHomewithLucasdo you have a link for the stand you bought?
I have the 15 in my kitchen and it was just the all things hub. Now it’s use is for my that and a place for my 18 month old to watch some miss rachel when eating 😅. Also, what’s up neighbor?! Haha I’m from greenfield.

White plastic in a hot steamy kitchen, how long before it turns a dark dirty yellow ?
White plastic? What are you talking about?
awful white border amazon make it black or not at all
Yeah lol it's definitely weird at first, but I'm used to it now.
Hey 👋
Hey friend 😀
The Echo Show line since the beginning are like an old girlfriend I once had.... Nice to look at but kind of slow and useless.
Lol you sir are not right, but I couldn't help myself from laughing 🤦♂️🤣
