This was my fourth Echo device purchase. I have two Echo Show 5's, a 2nd generation dot, 4th generation dot and now this. We originally purchased an Echo Show 5 for our kitchen and I loved it so much, I decided to upgrade to the Show 8 and move the 5 to the living room. Luckily, the app makes it easy to change rooms for your devices because a lot of echo shuffling went on after that. We now have one in the kitchen, living room, basement, bedroom and bathroom. While I'm getting my lunch ready for work in the morning, I have Alexa show me the latest local news. Sometimes, I'll play some music, stream a show or watch a game while cooking. The resolution is pretty good for a small device and the sound is great. It's not stereo quality of course but it's not bad either. It was super easy to set up. I'm talking suuuuuper easy. Other than plugging it in, I didn't have to do anything. I didn't even have to add my wifi password because I was able to set everything up before the device even arrived thanks to a setup email. I didn't buy a stand for it but it fits just fine where I set it. It's not wobbly or unstable. I don't use my echos for phone calls so I can't say how well that works. I also haven't used the camera on this one, nor do I really have any immediate plans to, so I can't attest to that either. I honestly use these mostly to control lights throughout the house as well as the TVs, create shopping lists, set reminders and timers, view the cameras we have set up outside, check to see who is at the doorbell, ask about the weather and use for entertainment purposes. Speaking of entertainment, I have had issues with it opening Netflix. This isn't isolated to this device though. It's something I've had issues with on all my echo shows. You can ask her to, and she'll say she did, but nothing happens. I need to play around with it but haven't had time yet. Obviously not a priority. Other than that, she opens Amazon Prime just fine (of course) as well as Tubi. What's really nice is that I was also able to open my YouTube TV via the internet and scroll through the live guide with no issues. I have Amazon Photos and have made albums specifically for the show. I just did one that is all Christmas backgrounds and it looks so festive! I love it! I've also used their nature one and really like it. The photos are beautiful, although you do get news bits and Alexa tips inbetween. That doesn't bother me. Some of the tips are interesting and the news bits are informative. All in all, I think it's plainly obvious that I love the Alexa devices, having 5 throughout my house now. I'm not even sure I will stop there as I have considered getting one for our shop/garage as well as my workout shed. Time will tell there, but if you like the dots, upgrading to the shows are totally worth it and I'd definitely recommend.

At first I was a bit apprehensive based on feedback from others and watching several YouTube videos about blah blah blah. So i took the plunge and bought one of these just to test it out and see how it performs as I wanted my own experience to be the judge, and boy oh boy, i am officially impressed. SOUND The sound is clean and you would not believe the high volume that is coming out of this device. I have mine set to about a little over quarter and it is just good for everything on a daily basis. SCREEN I think the 8 inch screen hits the sweet spot, not too big, not too small. Its clear, the touch response is good so far with no complaints. ALEXA Damn, that woman can catch her name every time, all the time. She doesn't miss a beat and she probably misunderstood what we asked her to do but after the basics she is quite capable of executing skills. MY USAGE I have this device connected to my home security cameras (LOREX) and the integration is very good. I can ask Alexa to view different cameras and I'm not disappointed by how she handles requests. The "Drop In" feature is nice as sometimes I check in with my family when I'm not at home. YouTube is functional, in that you have to ask Alexa to open YouTube and then you manually input your choices, Netflix goes through a similar process, but all in all it works and its functional. NOTE I liked it so much that i bought another one for the Kitchen. NOTE 2 I found it so useful that i bought 2 for my in-laws to also view their security cameras and YouTube. CONS (1) I'm not a big fan of the split screen keyboard... probably there is a way to adjust it and I probably haven't figured it out as yet. (2) Sometimes the cameras open on screen like a picture in picture and i have to pinch to zoom. It does this sometimes and again its probably a setting i have to adjust. Overall i think this is a very good device based on your use-case and it works well for me.

This thing can be just a tiny bit quirky at times, but in a way that's cute. It changes your life, though. I bought a bunch of these so I'd have one in every room of the house. The ability to pay these over time is what really pushed me over the edge to get them (and get multiple). Amazon, please keep those payment plans happening; brilliant! The original motivation to get these was because I take care of my mom who is handicapped and has trouble getting around. This thing for that purpose alone has changed her life (and mine). She can say from any room (even if she falls) "Alexa, announce..." and then it will send an announcement throughout the house so she can get my attention and help, even if it's just to get a glass of water, a protein shake, a meal or just wants me to spend some time with her. But this is way more than that. You can ask it to play your favorite music on Spotify. It can pull up your playlists instantly. You can link the devices together into various groups. So for example, I have a group I named "Central Stereo Group" that includes all my Echo Shows and Echo Dots throughout the house, with the exception of my mom's bathroom and bedroom. So then I can say, "Alexa, play XYZ playlist on the Central Stereo Group" and it will instantly play my music in every room except hers. And it's perfectly sync'd so there's no "echo" issues. It's like having a bunch of wireless speakers connected to the same stereo. Recipes. Man, I tell ya. If I'm in the kitchen making something and am not sure what spices to use, or what techniques to try, I can just ask Alexa and instantly it walks me through recipes and shows them on the screen. YouTube. If I wanna watch a recipe or literally anything on YouTube, I can just say, "Alexa, show a recipe for lasagna on YouTube" and it instantly pulls up YouTube so I can select which video I wanna watch, from the touchscreen. Sometimes, I just like YouTube videos on in various rooms for ambiance. So like I'll say, "Alexa, show a fireplace on YouTube" and instantly I can select a video with the touch screen, make it full screen, and suddenly my Echo Show is like a little fireplace. There are no words for how comforting this is for me, and especially for my mom who gets lonely and this makes her feel more at-home and takes the edge off her anxiety and pain. Speaking of my mom, she can call for emergencies (this is an option you can set up for like $5 bucks a month and well worth it). If she falls or something, she can call out from any room since I have these in every room, and Amazon will respond and see if she needs 911 called or otherwise. She hasn't had to use this feature yet, because she can just ask Alexa to call me or make an announcement. But this replaces LIFE CALL!!! REMINDERS!! OMG. I use this every single day to remind me to do various things. For example, if I'm cooking I just use my voice to set a timer and it understands no matter how I phrase it. Example: "Alexa, remind me in 10 minutes to put the spaghetti in the pot." And then it goes, "OK, I'll remind you in 10 minutes." Then in 10 minutes, it goes, "(ding dong) Here is your reminder: Put the spaghetti in the pot." SMART LIGHTS! If you have smart lights, you can just throw out commands to change your lights. This is seriously so life-changing. I now change the lights in every room of the house (I have Alexa-compatible smart bulbs throughout the house) with my voice. Examples: "Alexa, lights on." "Alexa, lights off." "Alexa, change the lights to red/cyan/fuchsia/purple/blue/orange, etc." INSTANTLY does it. "Alexa, change the lights to 10%" and suddenly you get nice dim lighting. Ugh, so cool, so useful and so life-changing. ROUTINES. I set routines with this thing to do various things. Example: I set it up to turn off the front and back porch lights at sunrise, and now it does!! I used to always forget to turn the porch lights off and now I save electricity and don't have that problem anymore. WEATHER, TIME, SEARCHES, etc. You can ask this thing ANYTHING. Ask it the current temperature outside, hourly forecast, 7 day forecast, you name it. If you have a question about something you would normally Google, just do it with your voice. Caveat: Amazon is getting better with search but Google still works better. I purchased these because I got them on payments and the sound quality is fantastic. Plus, more devices are compatible with Alexa than with Google Assistant. The one downside, in spite of all these benefits, is that Google is WAY better at accurate search results. But Alexa is definitely getting better with time, so stay tuned!! Excellent quality construction, the screen is bright, clear and beautiful. Sound quality is fantastic, even has some decent bass for a unit that's not huge. Would buy these again and again. These are definitely the electronic device that's changed my life more than anything I've ever owned. And it's changed my mom's life and improved her quality of life. MUST BUY FOR LITERALLY EVERYONE, IN MY OPINION!!! I could go on and on!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PRODUCT. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because there are times when it gets quirky, and the search functionality could be improved to compete with that of Google. Among other features that would make this a total 5 star product (e.g. better functionality with YouTube, Spotify and Web Browsing options).

This review is based only on how it performs on a bedroom nightstand, I haven't fully explored smart options but I'm already impressed. First off and the main reason I bought this--the sound is very impressive, very rich and full for a device of this size. I sampled a variety of my favorites: 60s and 70s, symphonic and jazz, they all sounded pleasing all with excellent mids highs and bass. You won't be rattling any windows but it's plenty loud enough and won't distort at higher volume. Well done Amazon engineering! Couple that with Alexa voice commands (another reason for my purchase) and you can use your Prime account to pretty much play any music that exists. I don't have the Amazon Music paid membership and I still get lots and lots of tunes of any genre. I wake up asking the Show 8 (which I renamed "Computer" as I feel sillier calling out Alexa's name) the weather forecast, my sports scores, top news whatever I want. I'll say "Computer, play The Beatles" and it quickly loads up the fab four. I'll say "Computer, YouTube" and up it pops. "Computer, apple pie recipe" and it's right there, amazing. The screen is sharp and easy to read, the colors pop, the browser is surprisingly effective for surfing as well. Those vacillating between the 8 and the less expensive Show 5 because its' main intent is as a nightstand clock should move up to the 8 without hesitation simply for the larger screen. Yes its' smaller cousin can do all of the above but having the larger screen makes this version much easier on the eyes. It goes without saying that video calling and internet browsing is a better experience on the 8. If you're like me you're patiently waiting for the next Prime Day to get the best deal, I guarantee you'll be glad you paid extra for the larger screen.

I was anxiously awaiting the delivery of my Echo Show 8. I got this for a good price on an Amazon deal, so I placed a rather large (expensive) order to start the transition of fully integrated "smart" home. This order included 12 smart recessed lights, 18 smart light bulbs and this device that I was hoping would pull everything together and allow me to be "hands free" and enjoy all the wonderful things I've heard the echos have to offer. We had issues with it right out of the box, sadly. I will list the pros and cons: Pros: Great price( amazon deal), fast delivery, well packaged Set up manual minimal, easy to read Size of unit was great, display is clear Initial set up was easy. Synced my other smart devices easily. Cons: •Voice recognition has not worked at all, ever so I am unable to "talk" to Alexa. Which really bummed me out. I pictured cleaning my kitchen, requesting some wholesome music for the entire family, "Alexa, play WAP" 🤣 ok, maybe a different choice then "Alexa, play Jason Mraz." ... nothing. Of course I also signed up for unlimited Amazon music so that I could hear the actual song I wanted and be the Dj of my house when the mood struck. I attempted to set up our profiles, first starting with the voice recognition. I must've turned that 🎤 off and on 50x trying to figure out this thing. I started to feel like maybe it was "user error" and I was missing something. So, I "googled" ( which is obviously a verb this day in age) troubleshooting options and I tried EVERYTHING it suggested to no avail. I noticed my bar light was orange which suggests connectivity issues, so I went down that troubleshooting path...nothing. I restarted my router, I made sure i was on 2.4gHz not the 5gHz (though it had issues even staying on that frequency) despite my internet connection reading "excellent".I strategically went through every possible avenue I could to attempt to correct the issues and ended up spending HOURS ( literally 10 hours) attempting to troubleshoot. I factory reset it probably 8-10 times. Literally nothing worked. • Screen calibration is slightly off and slow to respond. It didn't matter if I touched it lightly, with gentle pressure, a quick tap or a long firm press...it wouldn't register and was delayed 99% of the time. • Has a mind of its own. I would select a screen, for instance, a receipe ...it would initially open then within seconds close out and go to a different screen. Maybe it was catching up with the previous 10 request I had tapped on the screen, but weird that it did that only after my last selection and I had not selected what it was closing out and opening up. • Speakers aren't great. Kind of muted sounding. I only know this because the only way I was ever able to use it was through Alexa app on my phone. I did also contact chat support through Amazon and when it suggested all of the same things I had been trying repeatedly I just decided I was not going to continue in this maddening process. So, I finally gave in after less than 24 hours with this thing and requested a return. I was only able to return it for a refund, not return for a replacement. Which, is fine with me..I am researching older models. So, today I have it all packaged up and am anxiously awaiting my UPS pickup so I can receive my Amazon credit. I may go with a previous version of the Echo. I'm not totally against it...I may have just had a 🍋 because there are those in every bunch. However, if the 2nd one doesn't work out, I will just be keeping my home smart devices controlled on my phone and purchase smart speakers to install throughout my house so I can jam out and just print my recipes the old fashioned way 🤣 or use my awesome JBL flip that has NEVER let me down. For my lights, I may have to go with an oldie, but a Goldie "The Clapper". At THIS point in time I 100% would NOT recommend this item. However, once I order a different one I may have a change of 💙 Update: 11/2/22 I reorderd the same echo show and recieved it. I know, I know what was I thinking!! The first one I had received was obviously a 🍋after receiving the 2nd device I ordered. It literally took 2 minutes or less to set up and it has been working beautifully since we got it. NONE of the issues that the initial one had. I'm glad I went with the same model and trusted my gut that the previous one was just a faulty device. It picks up ALL of my smart devices throughout my home and the sound quality is pretty great! Not quite JBL or Bose Bluetooth speaker quality, but WAY better than I had anticipated. I am super happy with my purchase and my kids are fighting over who gets to choose the next song. I told them cleaning the house/ their room is ALWAYS better with loud music. So far....its working to get them to clean their rooms without complaining about it! 🤣
