Amazon - Echo Show 8 (newest model), Vibrant HD 8.7" display with spatial audio, designed for Alexa+ - Graphite

This is a great smart display with a clear screen and smooth performance. Setup was quick and easy, and it works perfectly for video calls, watching videos, and controlling smart home devices. The sound quality is better than expected, and the touch screen is very responsive. Overall, it’s a very useful device and definitely worth the price. Highly recommended.

This works much better than the older model. It’s not as slow. The music stops less from Spotify. But it didn’t resolve that problem entirely. Overall I’m happy. I love that I can see recipes and see who’s at my door.

I just added a PC setup to my office and the addition of the Alexa Show 8 has turned it seamlessly into a smart setup. The playful banter, quick access to calanders, alerts, and inquiries are the best parts. The ads must be mentioned, they're not at all noticeable unless you're trying. I'd prefer them to go away but they're silent and short. This is my first experience so I've got nothing to compare it to but I'm enjoying it.

I really like this Echo Show 8. The screen is really clear and the size is perfect. The sound is also really good and gets pretty loud. I like being able to use Alexa for music, timers, weather, and controlling my other smart stuff.(camera, lights, order uber-Lyft and more). It was pretty easy to set up and I like how it looks in the Graphite color. Overall I’m really happy with it and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good smart display. I do wish you could download load app to the echo 8. I do find I works best in my kitchen for watching quickly videos on making food or snack for watching a quick show on my echo 8.

This smart device is a game changer! I use it to keep in touch with my 88year old mother. Beyond the fantastic Alexa commands and answers, it also has a “drop in” feature. This drops your face into mom’s screen so she can see you and adds her face into the video so you can have a video chat. The audio is loud enough for her elderly ears! I have tried a slew of phones, IPhones, Android, Flip and she cannot hear and her hands can no longer manage a phone. I can also call mom, or anyone else, manage my world, enjoy music or movies and ask Alexa for just about anything! Game changer! Thank you! Elli
