Best in Show
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just received this today and did a side by side comparison with the Echo Show 2nd Gen (ES2). TL;DR - I'm keeping this over the Echo Show 2nd Gen. Reasons below. Form: I really like the smaller and even bezel around the display. The ES2 just looked imbalanced with the larger bezel above the screen. Screen: I was wondering whether I might miss the larger display of the ES2, but the answer was a resounding NO. I think the display is every bit as readable if not a little better. Sound: I personally like the sound better. Yeah, the ES2 has Dolby, but I honestly like the sound of this one better. The ES2 had more of a dynamic range (lows were lower and the highs were more crisp sounding) but my overall impression was that that the overly synthesized bass made the sound kind of muddy. The ES8 just sounds more balanced and pleasing to my ear. Privacy: This was a strong selling point for me (ironic that I'm mentioning privacy with an Alexa device - I know). I like the fact that you can manually shut out the camera. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this appear on the next Echo Show 3rd Gen. Price: After all of that coupled with the fact that it is 50-60% cheaper than the ES2 it was a no-brainer. For the same price of the ES2, I can have this AND an Echo Sub (not that it needs it IMHO).

Awesome Alexa to date!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a time, been wanting an Echo, preferably the Echo Show for our downstairs to control some plugs we have. With our main Echo upstairs we didnt want to yell to get Alexa to turn off the smart plugs we had downstairs and thus had to use the App to control the plugs. FINALLY with the improvments and expanded Echo Show line, we bought the Echo Show 8 which was featured in one of Best Buy’s “Deal Of The Day” and was for sale as a 2 pack for $129.99!! With the ease of its setup, WE are so excited now that we have an Alexa WITH screen units downstairs AND upstairs!! THE screen is just right at 8”, very clear, vivid looking, and the touchscreen is responsive!! Has lots of features which my entire family is just getting to know and the ability to view our Arlo cameras is a huge huge plus!! In my opinion it is an excellent unit, well built, good screen, good sound from the speakers!! As always if you’re looking for a good Alexa screen this Echo Show 8 is it!! About the only “minor” complaint for now in order to play Youtube, once you ask Alexa to open Youtube you have to first select a “browser” and it will head to Youtube, which involves you having to do a touchscreen tap for the browser. I since have heard Google who owns Youtube and Amazon, which both had a nasty dispute, have finally come together with Google finally bringing back Youtube to Echo devices!! The only device left to have it back would be the Echo Show line. So until then, once Amazon has fully completed this agreement with Google, THE Echo Show still has to open Youtube in this manner. BUT again am sure FUTURE SOFTWARE UPDATES will address this!! Don’t let this minor omission detract from purchasing this unit!! As with all tech it gets better through the software updates, and consider the bigger picture of what this Echo Show can do!! Overall EXCELLENT!!

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 purchased a show for my father in a nursing home. With Covid 19 his nursing home has a no visitor policy during the pandemic. I now can drop in and FaceTime him without having to call the front desk. He is a stroke patient and can’t move his right side at all. He doesn’t have to answer verbally or touch anything with a drop in. I’m very grateful for the echo show!

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.
