Amazon Echo Look Review

The Amazon Echo Look is one of the most peculiar devices to be released by Amazon. The general reaction to it reminds me a lot of the initial reaction to the Amazon Echo when it was revealed. Like many, I didn’t think I’d have much use for a voice controlled speaker, but have since really enjoyed having one. So, while I don’t think I have much use for a voice controlled camera or a “style assistant,” as the Echo Look is being called, I picked one up to see if it had a place in my lineup of Alexa devices.

In the box you get the Echo Look, a power adapter that is identical to the one for the Amazon Echo and Fire TV, apart from the right angle connector, an articulating stand that can be screwed into the bottom or back of the Echo Look, a wall mounting bracket that the stand can slide onto, and a pair of screws with drywall anchors for the mounting bracket. The Echo Look’s two mounting holes use standard photography tripod screw threads.

If you asked me a week ago if a voice activated camera that gives fashion advice is worth $200, I certainly would have said no. But if you offered me $200 a year from now to trade away a gallery full of daily photos of my family, I’d certainly keep the photos.
