Is the Echo Show 10 the Smart Kitchen Assistant You Didn’t Know You Needed?

Let’s be honest—smart displays can sometimes feel like gimmicks. But the Echo Show 10 has actually earned a place in kitchens across the country, because it does something pretty clever: it moves with you.

Yes, really.

This is Amazon’s only Echo with a rotating screen. As you move around the kitchen—stirring at the stove, chopping at the counter, grabbing something from the fridge—the screen automatically turns to face you. That means your recipe, video, or call stays in view, no matter where you go.

It’s hands-free help for people who already have their hands full.

What Makes It So Useful?

The Echo Show 10 blends a smart speaker, voice assistant, video screen, and camera into one rotating hub. Here’s what that actually means in the kitchen:

It walks you through recipes

You can ask Alexa to find step-by-step recipes and even read them out loud. If your hands are messy, you just say:
“Alexa, next step.”
It keeps you moving without needing to touch anything.

It sets timers, plays music, and makes lists

One of the biggest reasons people love the Echo Show 10 is how well it handles multitasking. You can say:

• “Set a pasta timer for 11 minutes.”

• “Add cumin to my grocery list.”

• “Play jazz while I cook.”

• “How many tablespoons in a quarter cup?”
  It gets things done without breaking your rhythm.

It plays your favorite shows or music

While you cook, you can stream Prime Video, Netflix, Spotify, or Audible—and it will keep the screen facing you. You’re not stuck craning your neck or tapping a tablet with greasy fingers.

It handles video calls, even when you’re moving

The built-in camera automatically keeps you centered in the frame. Whether you're catching up with family or checking in with your partner, it adjusts as you move around. It’s like having FaceTime that follows you.

It runs your smart home

Already have smart plugs, lights, or security cameras? The Echo Show 10 acts as a control hub. You can say:

• “Turn on the kitchen lights.”

• “Show me the front door.”

• “Start the coffee maker.”
  And it just works.

How It Compares to Other Echo Devices

If you’re familiar with the Echo Dot or smaller Echo Show 5/8, this version feels like a big step up—especially for high-use areas like kitchens.

It has a 10.1" HD screen, 13MP camera, and a more powerful speaker setup for fuller sound. And that motorized base that tracks your movement? It’s only on the Echo Show 10.

It’s more expensive than other models, but for people who use it every day in a central room like the kitchen, it actually earns its keep.

So, Is It Worth It?

If you use your kitchen for more than just reheating leftovers—if it’s the heart of your home where you cook, talk, plan your day, or unwind with a podcast—then yes, the Echo Show 10 is an upgrade you’ll feel immediately.

It’s not just “smart” in the tech sense—it’s smart in the useful sense. It makes everyday tasks smoother and puts helpful tools where you need them, when you need them.

For the price (around $249.99), you’re getting a personal assistant, recipe reader, video call station, home hub, and entertainment screen—all in one tidy device that keeps up with you.

Final Thought:
The Echo Show 10 doesn’t try to do everything. It just does the things that actually matter, really well. And in the kitchen? That’s exactly what you need.
