Mainly bought because I was tired of Google products. Alexa was my top request feature and it did not disappoint. My only issue was how many random interests I had to disable to customize what the home screen would display. Otherwise no complaints, easy to set up, looks great, decent speakers, smart home controls.

Absolutely Love It — Total Game Changer! I picked this up at the Baxter store and I’m seriously blown away. The Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) has completely upgraded my daily routine. The screen is super sharp, the sound quality is surprisingly rich and powerful for its size, and Alexa is way faster and more responsive than I expected. I use it for everything — checking the weather, setting reminders, watching Netflix or Hulu while I cook, video calls with family, and even controlling my smart lights. The interface is clean and easy to use, and setup took less than five minutes. If you’re on the fence about getting one, just do it. It’s the perfect combo of smart home assistant and entertainment center in one sleek device.

Pros: • Responsive Alexa integration • Privacy features like camera shutter and mic off button Cons: • The screen resolution, while good, isn’t as sharp as higher-end tablets

I recently updated from the Echo Pop, to this Echo Show 8. It's a sleek looking 3rd generation touchscreen. I bought it for my disabled husband, who has dexterity issues when trying to dial via cell phone. Now he uses gross motor movements for the touchscreen or a voice command to not only call family but view them. The Echo smartly sits up by design to allow you to view it like a small television screen. Ive fallen in love with the device. Daily Im excited to ask Alexa to play music for enjoyment via amazon music, meanwhile the screen displays the lyrics in large print. The stereo sound is phenomenal. Visitors have been surprised to find the Echo is whats generating such quality sound. My husband now ask Alexa, "who's the artist?", instead of quizzing me. Lol. Im so satisfied with my purchase. It's so easy to set up and operate, that Im now going to buy one for my mom. It just requires your wifi address and password.
