Major glow-up from an Echo-5
I upgraded from the Show 5 and wow, this is a whole different level. The quality is solid, the display is crisp, and it doesnât lag or glitch like my 5 used to. The screen is way bigger and more responsive, which makes everything easier to use. And the music playback? Straight fire. It fills the room and actually sounds good â not just âsmart speaker good,â like good good. It looks sleek on my counter too â definitely a visual upgrade. Worth every penny.

Love the upgrade!
I really like my Echo Show 8âitâs super handy and fun to use. I love that it shows song lyrics while playing music (hello, kitchen karaoke!), and the sound quality is surprisingly good for its size.Video calling is a great bonus, and the screen is clear and easy to see. Whether Iâm listening to music, checking the weather, or chatting with family, it does everything I needâand looks nice on the counter too.Highly recommend!

Wish I would have gotten this a long time ago. Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this device!
I absolutely love my echo show age 3rd generation! Perhaps legal upgrade someday to a bigger one, but for now this is perfect for my table next to my bed. I can use it to watch Netflix and all kinds of other things you can watch on their different apps. You can get on the Internet. You can listen to music you can listen to books I mean Iâve gotten so much use out of it and I just absolutely love. I canât believe I didnât have one sooner. I highly recommend this. I plan on hooking my security camera and they will also integrate with this item . Iâm pretty sure it will hook up to a smart Home items especially they will if they work with Alexa. Itâs easy to set up. Iâm also buying a battery stand for it so I can take it with me when it gets warmer out outside if I want to when I go to sit on the porch or whatever I do outside. The music sounds great on it! The quality of watching movies or videos on it is great also. You also configure it with your Alexa app, which is very easy to do. Itâs pretty much self-explanatory when youâre setting it up. itâs easy personalized for the things that you would like on there. Iâve spent some time going through all the little things that has on that you can do and itâs just thereâs so much to do. I canât even name everything. Itâs great. I recommend that wouldnât get that you know Jesus smart devices. I plan on hooking the external Bluetooth speaker up to it also. Corino, itâs very easy to ask questions like you on on any other electric device. The connectivity is great besides it just perfect. and like I said, itâs very easy to use very easy to set up and the controls on top of it or very easy. Thereâs only a few of them to do so thereâs the volume up and down and the on button and the little switch if youâd like to turn the camera off, so you know if you feel more comfortable, not having the camera on oh and also you can use it as a camera in the room that itâs in and watch it from your phone from the Alexa app. Itâs great that way if I think someoneâs in my room, I can just turn on the camera from my phone app and see if someoneâs in there or whatâs going on in there. And it has two way talking on it if you wanna talk to the person in the room.. And really itâs not very heavy at all. Iâm excited to get the battery to put on it to see how it is the carried around like that so when I go outside, you can have it also. Great device the great device for sure I wish I wouldâve gotten a lot sooner.

A step up from a glitchy Show 5 — but I don’t like the new complex touchscreen gesture system.
I purchased this Echo Show 8 to replace a Echo Show 5 which was several years old and had a glitchy screen. I waited until I could get a good deal during Prime Days. I love the bigger, bright screen. The Sound quality is much better (I assume because the speakers are bigger). It is in my bedroom right next to my bed, and is the Echo device I use the most by far. I decided to spend some extra money and buy a stand, and I’m glad I did.Set up was somewhat complex — mainly the tutorial for the new touchscreen controls. I was happy that my existing routines all seem to work great with no adjustments. I use my Echo to turn on various lights (using smartplugs) in several rooms. I frequently use it as a timer for laundry, cooking, and as a reminder for appointments or things to do.I appreciate how much the screen dims at night when the lights are out. There are lots of features of the Alexa system that I like and use, but that applies to all Alexa devices.I fully DISLIKE the new touchscreen gestures system. While I could handle almost everything with a single finger and single touches on the Show 5, the new operating system for the Show 8 requires one touch to select something on the screen, then a double-touch to activate it. With a single touch, the button or item is selected and the Echo says what it is (like “Continue Button”). Then, it is annoying to have to do a double-tap to activate the button. What used to take a single tap, now takes three — one to select, and two more to activate.To scroll, it requires 3 fingers, not just one. There are all kinds of complex finger movements and touches, some requiring FOUR fingers on the screen. That’s just awkward and hard to remember. Even after doing the tutorial, I don’t remember most of the controls. Thankfully, I use voice control most of the time. I suppose I may get used to it eventually, but I think it is more likely that I just won’t use all of those complex touchscreen controls.Mine has a weird glitch — it often looks like a part of the screen gets touched when I haven’t touched it. Occasionally, Alexa will unexpectedly say the time and date, or act like I touched the News button, when I didn’t touch anything. Also, it will often click as though I touched the screen, but I didn’t. I don’t know if this is a hardware problem and I should return it, but in the few days I’ve had it, this glitch seems to be happening less often.Just to put this review in context; I am a long-time Prime Member and Echo user — I got my first Echo pre-release (that big, tall cannester-shaped one). I even made some suggestions for functions that were eventually added. I now have my new Show 8 in my bedroom, a Dot in my kitchen, a Show 5 at my office, and my adult son has his own Show 5

Works perfectly as advertised.This device saves me a lot of trouble and time and I am enjoying using it.Helps me remember things like noting down grocery, reminders etc.Sound Quality is amazing, the bass was not something I expected out of this device, would give an extra star just for that :)There are rolling ads, would I prefer not having it? defintely yes, does it bother me? not really, so I am cool with it.Weather reports are sucha boon, I can plan my day perfectly thanks to this device letting me know ahead of time about it.I also use it to view my Ezviz cameras and it integrates perfectly with it.The only thing I wish would have been different was the cord and the camera shutter color, should have been black if the device color is black.Overall, a purchase I do not regret all 🙂

Me encantó, es muy útil y fácil de usar. La uso para poner música, alarmas, recordatorios y hasta controlar otros dispositivos. Reconoce muy bien la voz y responde rápido. Sin duda, hace más cómodas las tareas diarias.

Iâm absolutely loving my Alexa, I have the echo show 8 in glacier white. I have the original 2018 HomePods that Iâve been using since 2018 and they just have let me down repeatedly. Apple hasnât really added anything new at all nor have they continued innovating the HomePod line like Amazon has with their various echo âAlexaâ enabled devices. I cost ask my HomePods much without it telling me I canât, but Alexa on the other hand has an answer for pretty much everything and that is soooo much better to have around.The sound quality of the device is actually amazing. Having only ever used apples HomePod and seeing the quality of friends and familyâs older echos and google homes, I always thought HomePod was the top. But echo show 8 is literally on par with a HomePod. It truly lives up to the âspatial audioâ name.The screen quality is actually pretty good for being a basic screen. Itâs overall pretty responsive to the point itâs not annoying to use.The built in camera quality is pretty good as well! Only thing it suffers with is being placed in direct sunlight. But when positioned correctly itâs a pretty good picture quality.The built in smarts of Alexa are way beyond what Iâm use too. I purchased a fire tv 4K max as well and have found out that you can control the entire thing hands free, and not just basic on/off, find Xâ¦show. But you can ask Alexa to scroll left/right/down/up and ask her to select items onscreen. I can be all nice a cozy in my blanket wrapped up and get Alexa to click the next episode button for meâ¦â¦ worth the price of all of it right there! Siri could never!Iâm impressed with Alexa and absolutely cannot wait for Alexa+ to make it even better.
