Amazon Echo Show 8 (newest model), With Spatial Audio, Smart Home Hub, and Alexa, CharcoalReducing CO2

I really like my Echo Show 8—it’s 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 I’m listening to music, checking the weather, or chatting with family, it does everything I need—and looks nice on the counter too.Highly recommend!

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 I’ve gotten so much use out of it and I just absolutely love. I can’t believe I didn’t have one sooner. I highly recommend this. I plan on hooking my security camera and they will also integrate with this item . I’m pretty sure it will hook up to a smart Home items especially they will if they work with Alexa. It’s easy to set up. I’m 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. It’s pretty much self-explanatory when you’re setting it up. it’s easy personalized for the things that you would like on there. I’ve spent some time going through all the little things that has on that you can do and it’s just there’s so much to do. I can’t even name everything. It’s great. I recommend that wouldn’t get that you know Jesus smart devices. I plan on hooking the external Bluetooth speaker up to it also. Corino, it’s 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, it’s very easy to use very easy to set up and the controls on top of it or very easy. There’s only a few of them to do so there’s the volume up and down and the on button and the little switch if you’d 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 it’s in and watch it from your phone from the Alexa app. It’s great that way if I think someone’s in my room, I can just turn on the camera from my phone app and see if someone’s in there or what’s going on in there. And it has two way talking on it if you wanna talk to the person in the room.. And really it’s not very heavy at all. I’m 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 would’ve gotten a lot sooner.

VERY IMPRESSIVE DEVICE.I HAVE THE ECHO DOT AND THE ECHO SHOW 8 WORKS JUST AS WELL BUT HAS THE 8-IN SCREEN.GREAT SOUND GREAT PICTURE FAST RESPONSE VERY EASY TO OPERATE.THE FEATURE I LIKE THE MOST IS IN THE MORNING WHEN I'M IN THE KITCHEN MAKING BREAKFAST I DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH A TV REMOTE TO GET TO THE NEWS STATION ALL I HAVE TO DO IS USE MY VOICE.I THINK THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WELL MADE DEVICE.ANOTHER INTERESTING FEATURE IT HAS IS FOR INSTANCE IF YOU HOLD UP A COFFEE CAN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND ASK IT WHAT'S IN MY HAND IT'LL TELL YOU AND SHOW YOU WHAT YOU HAVE.THIS COMPACT DEVICE ELIMINATED THE 22-IN TELEVISION I HAD ON THE KITCHEN TABLE AND IS FAR SUPERIOR IN PERFORMANCE OF THINGS THAT IT CAN DO.GOT TO LOVE AMAZON THEY REALLY GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR THE CUSTOMER. THERE WAS A TINY CRACK ON THE SIDE OF THE FRONT AND WHEN I CALLED THEM UP ABOUT IT THEY OFFERED ME $35 NOT TO SEND IT BACK TO LIVE WITH THE LITTLE CRACK IN THE CORNER AND I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH THAT SINCE IT WASN'T IN THE VIEWING AREA OF THE SCREEN.

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
