Amazon's Echo Look was a $200 Alexa camera, launched in 2017, that took full-length outfit photos and gave AI 'Style Check' fashion feedback. Amazon discontinued it in 2020 and the device and app stopped working on July 24, 2020, with some owners offered a free Echo Show 5 by way of compensation.
This entry is written from the 5 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
The pattern in the sources is regret. Only 15% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction falls from 6.5 to 0.5 out of 10 by the two-year mark.
Owners generally found it a good full-length selfie camera but a weak stylist whose advice was generic, and some never got comfortable with a camera in the bedroom. Its life then ended abruptly when Amazon switched it off in July 2020, softened only by an Echo Show 5 offer that not every owner clearly received.
Amazon stopped the camera and app working on July 24, 2020. Echo Show 5 compensation was not clearly offered to every owner. Cloud dependency turned the device into e-waste.
Worth it for: Collectors of discontinued Echo hardware; Hobbyists curious about defunct smart-home gadgets. Think twice if: Anyone wanting a working style assistant; Privacy-conscious households; Buyers of used units on resale sites.
