It looks like a clunky clock radio - really I prefer my sleek Echo Dot as this offers nothing extra except annoying visuals. Sound quality is good but again, no better than the Dot.
Edit to add: Customer Service emailed me within minutes of this review and changed my settings; this makes the device much more useful with local news content. I still prefer my Dot but this will now be good value.

If Amazon want this device to be used outside of USA then they need to change these issues, so at this stage it is relegated to being glorified digital alarm clock.
IT IS SO ANNOYING! LIKE OH MY GOD!
I tried even just putting one picture in my amazon app and it STILL FLICKERS with just one image! every minute it will fade to black then come back with the same clockface it has a second ago.
There needs to be a feature where you can select slideshow mode of static mode!
I don't need my bedside clock flickering all night long. IT'S INFURIATING!
I had to settle on one of their images that don't even represent my style so it would stop the flickering.
The main reason I gave it 3 stars, is the lacking of any 3.5mm audio output jack, the built in speaker like all of these devices sounds like tweeter in a cardboard box, I have tried some generic USB Audio DAC's and none of them work, so its use case is very limited.
I recommend this to people that would like a nice bedside or office desk clock and don't really care about audio quality, but if you want this for a Kitchen setting, I would recommend going for the larger Show 8.
Works perfectly with my echo wall clock
over the top loud. Also I just love Tech. and this is my favourite so far. Top marks to Amazon.
