Amazon Echo Show

Amazon Echo Show, $230, Amazon

My absolute favorite thing on Oprah’s list of favorites is the Amazon Echo Show. Not only does it pack all the cool features of the original Echo, it also has a 7-inch screen and camera that can be used to make video calls, be used as a security camera, as an intercom, and can even show you photos, videos, and flash briefings. The coolest part is that you can do all of this hands-free, with just the sound of your voice. It comes in black and white, and if you buy two, Amazon will take $100 off the price.
