Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) review: Alexa's got her eye on you
The brushless motor that almost silently spins its 10.1-inch HD display around a 350-degree arc is the feature that will grab your attention when you take it out of the box, but you'll quickly discover many more things to get jazzed over when you set about exploiting its capabilities to the fullest. This is a fantastic feature whether you're following a recipe, engaging in a video call, or watching a movie on Netflix. And Amazon gives you full control over how motion occurs: You can disable it entirely, enable it only for some activities--such as when making video calls, watching a video, or following a recipe--or you can activate/deactivate it on demand by saying things like "Alexa, follow me," "Alexa, turn right," or "Alexa, turn off motion." If you place the Echo Show next to a wall or in a corner, you can adjust how far it will rotate so that it doesn't bump into anything as it spins. The display apparently has a clutch or a similar mechanism that automatically disengages the motor while at rest, allowing you to manually turn the display left or right even if motion is enabled.
