My wife loves the echo spot. Uses it in the kitchen for facetime and music.

"Always two there are; no more, no less. A master and an apprentice." Yoda was referring to Sith lords, but he could easily have been talking about Amazon's general product strategy. The company has a habit of releasing a big product and following it up with a smaller, more affordable alternative.

Useful screen; Video calling works well; Compact dimensions; More intuitive than audio-only Echo devices

Sound could be better

Amazon's latest Echo refresh has brought with it a design flourish that was sorely missing from its original line-up.

Screen needs some work; It's a camera for your bedroom
