This is my first Echo device. Had already set up several skills on the Alexa app before the Echo Show 8 arrived, so I was ready for it; and had my expectations already set as to the quality of the response to the voice commands. If you are considering entering the Echo 'echo-system' and are on the fence about getting one of these, try downloading the Alexa app to your phone or tablet and try it out. On the phone app (iPhone and iPad in my case), a button push activates Alexa; with the Show 8, just say her name and she starts listening. Some of the Alexa skills still need some work, and your satisfaction with them may vary. But for the Show 8, it's great! The speakers sound better than I expected (actually are pretty awesome compared to the Show's size) and will fill the room with sound. The Show 8 has an external speaker jack on the back, but I don't see ever using it - the internal speakers are THAT good - can feel the bass from the speakers vibrating the kitchen countertop. With the speakers in the rear, having it backed up close to a wall provides the best sound projection and quality. A similar concept to some higher end Bose speakers, which have rear-firing elements that are designed to reflect the sound off of a wall and provide more ambience. When music is played, the lyrics scroll on the screen, so you can sing along (if your housemates and dog can stand it). Even when playing at a higher volume level, I can still get Alexa's attention but it may take more than one attempt. The microphones are quite sensitive and will pick me up from another room as long as there is not much background noise. The Show 8 also has Bluetooth, so you can pair it with a phone, laptop or other device and play music through the Show 8's speakers. I do this frequently since the Show 8's speakers sound much better than the internal phone or laptop speakers. I did notice a bit of a delay in watching a video on the laptop, and then the audio coming out of the Show 8. It just may be an artifact of using Bluetooth to send the audio. Rather than the recommended stand (or no stand), I purchased the "Echo Show 8 Adjustable Aluminum Swivel Stand" also sold on Amazon (you can see my review of the stand on that page). A stand is recommended to allow you to position the Show 8 at an optimum viewing angle. I also purchased several of the Meross Wifi smart plugs (also sold on Amazon). Have them programmed to link with Alexa so I can give one command (such as "Alexa, turn on Christmas Lights") and ALL the plugs in the Christmas group turn on at the same time. Pretty cool! Once Christmas is over, the plugs will be assigned other duties. The Show 8 can browse the web. There is a Firefox skill that will allow you to open a web browser. And if you don't like tapping letters on the screen, you can pair a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (see photo). If you have an HP printer, it can be linked to the Show 8 to print grocery lists or stuff you find on the internet. Not a deal-killer for me, but can't seem to be able to disable the "Try Alexa <blah blah blah>" on the bottom of the home screen. You CAN disable the skills cycling with other topics in the center of the screen as another reviewer noted. I have the Show 8 in my kitchen; so the display is not "in my face" and I am not looking at it all the time, so it is not THAT big of a deal. Have to admit I was skeptical and wasn't sure if I would find it useful....but I'm liking this device more every day. Now an Echo Dot has found its place in our household as well. Along with some Echo Buttons.... Like the Echo Show 8 so much that I ordered another one to give to my daughter and son-in-law!

This product performs exceptionally well and is highly recommended. Integration with my Ring doorbell displays the visitor's image on the Alexa screen upon arrival. You can also communicate back and forth with Alexa. Ask Alexa any questions; she will answer it—she is super intelligent, but don't make her mad; she will let you know. It's great for people who live alone; you will always have someone to talk to. I own two Alexas.

My specific purpose for buying this item was for working with my XT2 camera system. I was concerned about a number of things: (a) The 'things to try' crap supposedly showing constantly on the screen, and supposedly not being able to get rid of it, and complaints that the Show 8 would not work with the Blink XT2 camera system. Well, you CAN't totally get rid of the 'things to try' blip, but you CAN greatly reduce it, to a degree of almost background noise, by reducing the rotation rate. It then almost becomes a non-factor, which makes me EXTREMELY happy. As for the connection to the Blink XT2 camera, you need to do a little bit of work. You need to have established a Blink account, as instructed by the Blink XT2 camera instructions. After you have created your Blink account, you then need to enable the 'Blink Smarthome' skill, for your echo Show 8. When you have gone though the process of setting your camera system up, the skill on your echo Show 8 allows you to work with your XT2 camera, with no issues, via voice command, as you would expect. Now for another comment, about the camera itself, which has really nothing to do with the Echo Show 8, but just as an FYI. I noted a lot of folks unhappy with the XT2, because it did not notify you immediately, when it detected omtion. This was due to the fact that it notified AFTER it finished making a recording, NOT upon start of the recording, with detected motion. Well, at the end of 2019, that item was addressed by Blink, as stated in the following message: "We’re excited to announce our newest feature available for XT2 users, Early Notification, provided as a Beta preview release. This is currently only available in the US and Canada but we will be rolling this out to other regions soon. This article will be updated when that happens. When enabled, Early Notification configures the camera to send a message as soon as motion is detected, then the motion clip is recorded as usual and will appear in your list. When the Early Notification message appears in your app, you can tap it to join a live view of that camera and respond to events in real time. When disabled, notifications are sent when the motion clip finishes recording. To enable this feature, go to the camera settings screen and switch on the “Early Notification” toggle (shown in the image)." I have this new/beta item enabled on my new camera. ************************************************************************************************************************************** UPDATE After successfully adding the first camera, of my three camera system, I proceeded today to set the two remaining cameras up. I could not get the cameras to connect to the Blink app, and I spent a good 30 min. going nuts. I then remembered something. My Netgear Wireless Router and myself are very well acquainted with each other. I routinely look at the logs, to see who is attempting to connect to my system, as I have the router email them to me. I also used the feature 'Access Control' on the router to basically deny access to my system by any new system that wants to connect. In this manner, I control who gets on my network. Well, I had to turn this feature back to the 'allow all systems', to get the cameras permission to access my network. Yep, I was happy, I had resolved the problem--NOPE!! The cameras still would not connect!! I think went into trouble-shooting mode, and plugged/unplugged the BLINK switch a couple of times--NO GO!! I then noticed something in my router log, the following item was showing as being blocked: F6B85E9992C5-MYSIMPLELINK . I looked that up on-line and found that it was tied into BLINK camera live initialization. The 'F6B85E9992C5' contains the MAC address of the camera, which is stated on the camera, right under the serial number. No, the MAC address that I am showing DOES NOT match my actual MAC address, I changed it, so as not to be stupid in a public showing. I used the router software control to ALLOW access to the 'F6B85E9992C5-MYSIMPLELINK' item, which was the camera that I was trying to install. The camera connected, both of them, and all was well. Making this simplified, if you cannot get your camera to connect to the BLINK app, take a look at your router log ( if you have one ), and see if something is showing as being blocked, which matches the string that I previously mentioned. It appears that the hexadecimal part of the front end of this string will change, to match the device, but the 'MYSIMPLELINK' stays the same, which you can always change the name, to match the location of the camera. I left the hexadecimal front end alone, and just change the MYSIMPLELINK to match the location of my camera. CHEERS!!
