But for those of us who prefer background disturbance while we ’re whipping something up in the kitchen , the revamped Echo Show also introduces a new streaming option : Netflix .

TheEcho Show 10 , a $ 250 smart show that completely overhauled the Show ’s previous design , will soon support streaming all of Netflix ’s considerable depository library with Alexa command . Currently , Hulu and Prime Video ( of class ) are also supported on the Echo Show , but a spokesperson told Gizmodo that the fellowship did n’t have any additional architectural plan to share about other service arriving on the equipment . Specifically , it ’s probably secure to assume we wo n’t be hearing about Disney+ patronise anytime soon .

Like overbold TVs , that ’s where some wise base hubs differ . Disney+ , for example , issupportedon the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max , as are Netflix , Hulu , CBS All Access , Sling TV , and Starz , among anumber of other servicesas well .

One thing that the Echo show has going for it is that its screenmoves with youas you ’re making your way around the kitchen . That may be less of import for someone who sticks their exhibit in a centrally - facing niche in a small space , but it ’s not a terrible idea if you need a truly hands - free experience and have , say , a kitchen island .

Now , why the heck would anyone need a streaming serve on a equipment in their kitchen , anyway ? perhaps you ’re a parent with small kid you need to keep an heart on but either are n’t concerned in shelling out for a boob tube for your kitchen or only do not have room . Maybe , like me , you just prefer to have background haphazardness on — a show to watch while you ’re make dinner or doing dishes . ( Yes , I am mindful that podcasts and euphony also survive . )

Whatever the reason , at least you ’ll have access to Stranger Things .
