Ring Battery Doorbell 2K Plus Review
Our verdict
If your home already runs on Alexa, this is the frictionless pick — announcements on every Echo, tight app integration, and genuinely good 2K head-to-toe video. The catch is the subscription: reviewing saved clips needs Ring Home at about $40/year.
Pros and cons

- Head-to-toe 2K+ video shows full body and packages
- Best-in-class Alexa integration

What could be better
