Amazon Echo Plus review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Ultimately, the Echo Plus makes sense only for those with compatible smart home products who want to eliminate multiple hubs connected to their router. If that’s not you, then the slightly better audio quality compared to the second-gen Echo isn’t enough to justify the extra cost. Amazon’s Alexa assistant has stood the test of time and is getting ever smarter. If there was any doubt about the company’s commitment to it, just look at therange of Echo devicesit now offers: Echo Dot, Echo 2, Echo Show,Echo Spotand – the one we’re reviewing here – Echo Plus....

Amazon Echo Show review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We’re impressed with the Amazon Echo Show – the display improves the overall Alexa experience, enabling it to do things that haven’t been possible until now, like show you how to cook things step-by-step or provide a livestream of your home security cameras (although with limitations). Video calling is another nice addition, and the quality of the included 5Mp is good enough to take some decent hands-free selfies....

Amazon Fire 7 review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Fire 7 is a very minor update to the 2015 7in Fire tablet. It’s a shame that the processor and cameras haven’t been upgraded, but the low price makes it hard to complain.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Edition review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Fire HD 10 is a decent, if unspectacular, tablet. It’s good value as a Kids Edition, but you can get the same warranty, content and bumper case with the 7- and 8-inch versions which are quite a bit cheaper. Parental controls are excellent, but it’s a shame they don’t all carry over to the full FireOS interface, which is better suited to older kids....

Amazon Kindle Voyage review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Kindle Voyage is without doubt one of the best eReaders money can buy. Is it worth buying though? For most people, no. The extra resolution, sleek design and page-turning buttons are all nice-to-haves but by no means essential. You’ll get a better reading experience on a Voyage compared to the current-generation Paperwhite, but only just, and the difference in price is simply too much to justify it....
