How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5The Echo products have been out for a while, but I didn't know how great they were until I bought one. My wife wanted a Ring door bell/camera. It came with an Echo show 5. Well, I thought I would buy show 8 while they were on sell. I immediately fell in love with it. They had babies, lots of babies. I now have 2 Echo show 5's, one 8 and one 10.1 as well as 2 Echo dots (3rd gen.) and one dot (4th gen,) w/clock.

We use it everyday .. for morning news, sports talk, recipes with videos, everything you can think of and we like it. We have moved to everything being smart. We got this on sale and we’ll worth the investment, buy the 8 inch, it’s better in every way over the 5.

Q: QuestionI'm considering purchasing an Amazon - Echo Show 8 with Alexa for my elderly mother. I'd like to know what applications and capabilities this unit can provide that would help my mother?
Asked by Rich.
- A:Answer I also have purchased several Amazon Echo devices for my elderly parents. I find the following most useful: 1. With Amazon Prime she can say "Alexa play music by...." Alexa will play almost any song and/or artist she can imagine. 2. Cooking timers and alarms 3. Sold separately, you can add smart switches (I use WEMO) to control the lights fans etc. with a simple "Alexa turn on the light". You can name your devices anything you want, "Alexa, turn on the living room". 4. Ring cameras/door bells: She could view and talk to whomever is at the front door and not have to move from another room. 5. Video calling: She will be able to make and answer video calls to you. 6. Jokes and games: Ask Alexa to tell a joke 7. Ask Alexa anything. If she doesn't know she'll tell you that.

Q: QuestionIs this for viewing only or is it also a speaker (for music)?
Asked by Carrie.
- A:Answer Echo Show 8 connects to Alexa to give you rich stereo sound with vivid visuals on an 8" HD screen. Set alarms and timers, display your favorite photos, check weather and traffic as you head out, or catch up on news highlights and movie trailers. Connect with your favorite people by making hands-free video calls to the Alexa app or another Echo with a screen, use Announcements to send voice messages to every room with a supported Echo device, or use Drop In as a two-way intercom between rooms.

Q: QuestionWhat accessories do I need to purchase in order for this to function properly as a video chat? I am purchasing for my mom and don't want her aide to run to the store to purchase additional items to make it work.
Asked by amImissinganything.
- A:Answer It comes with everything needed for video chat/calls. Built-in camera, microphone, speaker, and screen. It has free video and audio calls between Echo devices and the Alexa mobile app. So you could get another Echo Show (or the Alexa app on your phone) and call her for free.
