• 5.0 out of 5 stars It's great at what it does! Make sure you know what you're getting!

  Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2019

  So, if you buy this with the expectation that you're getting an Echo Dot with a built in camera (+ LED flash), I think you'll be happy with it!
  I feel like I knew what it was when I purchased, and it actually exceeded my expectations.

  The device essentially is an Echo dot (with a camera) in terms of functionality and speaker quality. The speaker may even be slightly better than an Echo Dot.

  Pros:
  - The camera is much better than I thought it would be. The image quality is good, and I really like how it automatically blurs out the background (in case your room is messy or whatever), focusing on the person.
  - Additionally, the camera (with the built-in flash) actually works pretty well with limited lighting!
  - The fashion tips are actually useful, and I was surprised how helpful getting a picture (or video) versus just looking in a mirror was.
  - The app is is simple but has some nice features, and I found connecting the device was pretty easy. It wasn't instant, but it didn't take long.
  - It's really a cool device. I like the technology, and I don't know anything else that does what it does.

  Cons:
  - Except for people wanting to use it for the specific purpose of taking pictures of themselves and getting 'fashion tips' and etc, it seems expensive (I got it on sale, and I think it was worth the cost).
  - So far, the device seems to be a little more glitchy than our Echo Dot.

• 1.0 out of 5 stars Such a disappointment and waste of money for something that could have been so amazing!

  So I'm just going to put this here. This is about as useful as it is sitting in my hand doing nothing. It will NOT connect. Not to iPhone, Android, nothing! With that said I am going to post a copied post by someone else who can get into detail on this as I have exhausted my time in reading and trying for way too long.

  Such a disappointment for something that could have been amazing!

  Dear Amazon,
  We like your stuff and we love technology. We have over a half dozen devices, and two prime accounts going in our family of 5. Multiple Echos, a Tap, and the husband unit even has one of those Echos with the screen. As a designer & maker, and someone who does not purchase a lot of RTW, the Echo Look could be useful. I like technology to help humans be better. The Echo Look really could help with more responsible consumption and fewer bad fast-fashion purchases (which means fewer returns.) Also, for those of us really involved in #mmmay - there are quite a few people out there who have a hard time keeping up the whole month, and this could be the answer. Hopefully this is fixed by 2019 for #mmmay19
  Ok. That was the good part and to counter the really lame trolls on here. Be part of the solution. Seriously.
  I’ve had the Echo Look for 2 weeks now.
  Went into the store 4 days ago, hoping an employee could answer questions. Employees had never even seen one, and pointed me to the phone number for customer service.
  Today I called customer service. First I talked to TK, who tried to tell me that Amazon wasn’t available at this time (um, I’m in the same time-zone). That was funny, and not in a good way. TK told me that they only trouble shoot problems and that they can’t forward my call to the design team (which I did not ask for, I asked for someone on his team that knew about app/device updates and about using the Echo Look.) TK forwarded me to “George” - I will note that George started out with an American Southern accent which he quickly lost as he went back to his native language accent. I”m not sure what the point of that was....? I think after he realized I wasn’t Grandma complaining about not being able to get ther Fire stick to work, he dropped the fake southern accent. George actually tried to first talk me into returning the device. You might want to look into that. George didn’t know anything either, and eventually told me to write a review here. The Catch-22 is amazing. The store knows nothing and points consumers to the phone people. The phone people are irritable, they do not like that I’m asking device & app update questions, they don’t know anything, and point consumers to return the product or write a review here.
  Ok, now to my problems and requests for solutions.
  1. Pre, what, 2000, I was that person that got red-eye when not even looking at the camera. Technology and cameras have advanced so that isn’t an issue...or I pull out the DSLR and use an external flash - but even then, my DSLR is new enough it doesn’t really have those issues. The Echo Look’s 4 LEDs are SO bright, I look like a Replicant from Blade Runner. No exaggeration. It’s like you went back in time with technology. Not even looking at the camera, I still get retina refraction like crazy. I tried putting scotch tape over the LEDs to soften the impact which reduces the Replicant look by 50% but then the app doesn’t like that and tells me something is wrong and till not apply any of the filters or the blurry vignette feature (Pop.) You have to fix this. I’m NOT alone. Going through Instagram for EchoLook photos is like Replicant Tinder. You’ve got to do a hardware OS update and fix that, and/or allow the app to reduce flash brightness.
  2. Let’s talk about Pop or the weird blurry vignette slider that isn’t really a slider. Yes, it is helpful, but please update app so that slider is really a slider. Right now it is A. Nothing. B. You’re floating in a blurry cloud C. You’re actually swimming in amniotic fluid.
  3. The fashion compare options. HAHAHA. Oh. Please. The algorithm is set to 1950. Seriously, try it. Put on, say, nice linen overalls with a wide leg, paired with a mid-volume silk shirt - totally on trend, and put it next to an outfit that looks like it was bought from Chicos (think princess seamed button up shirt in novelty print, and a defined waist-pant, and it picks the Chicos outfit every time. Fit & Flare isn’t the only design aesthetic, thanks. Please update app to have style preferences. Think Stitch Fix or the Nordstrom version of Stitch Fix...it’s for men, so my husband uses it, not me, but they’re VERY good. You’re in the same town as Blake, just go over and ask him how they set up the Nordstrom version of Stitch Fix, ‘kay??
  4. You may need a more diverse group working on this product. I’ll let you figure out that one, but I’ll give you a hint. If you gear something towards women, with ONLY women in ALL of the product demos, then maybe there should be more women, particularly women in fashion/design, involved in the process. Also...you may want to diversify your product demos... lovely range of women with POCs...all the same size and age range. And just women. Call me, I’ll help you.
  5. I shouldn’t have to pull this all into PhotoShop. This should be plug-in-play directly to Instagram. You’re losing SO much with all of these issues. Your Echo Look account isn’t even used - I’ve got a stinking suspicion you’re already planning on dropping this product. I can’t find ANY reviews other than the PR release you GAVE out. I seriously don’t care what 40+ year old hetero white men not in fashion/design have to say about this product, nor what they forced their single female staffer to do with it. There’s NOTHING. Which tells me there’s suppression, and possibly such a great loss already you’re looking to bag out completely and are ready to erase it. I’d prefer you supported it instead. It wasn’t a bad idea. I prefer it to having to set up my DSLR or propping my iPhone on my tripod...but my iPhone takes way better photos and has a portrait option that rivals my DSLR. That and no replicant.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars Takes good full body photos of your outfits with recommendations

  Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019

  I've been using the Echo Look regularly for about 4 months and feel that I can give an informed review. Firstly, my expectations weren't super high for this. All I wanted was something to take pictures of my outfits for my personal use. It does that well and so I really like the product. An added bonus is that it does all the things that any other Echo device does, like play music.

  The Look can give you recommendations, like things to add to your look. If you ask it "How do I look?" it will compliment you. If you look at the photo on your phone it will usually give you a recommendation for the outfit, either something to remove, add, or change.

  Some of the recommendations are useful and some of them don't make sense. Nevertheless, I enjoy finding out what the Echo Look will say. I don't know if it's just for me, but my Echo loves to recommend the same things for me: leather jackets and suede boots all day. Even in 80-degree weather.

  Now, I do think that privacy concerns are not realistic. While Amazon could learn a lot about you from your purchases, with the Look Amazon now knows, your race, body type, and your age group. I don't know if it's a coincidence but after I got the Look, I believe that I started getting recommendations based on my age and race. Amazon does give clothing recommendations in the app but they don't really match my style.

  Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It takes good full body photos and I like being able to see my entire outfits because I don't have a full-length mirror.
