Posted .Hi PabloA! Thank you for your feedback regarding the Echo Show 8. I apologize for the limitations you've experienced with international support. While the Echo Show 8 offers many great features, I understand your frustration about the restricted functionality outside of primary markets. Basic features like voice control, smart home device control, alarms, timers, weather updates, music streaming through supported services, and video calling between Echo Show devices should still be available internationally. For the best experience, please ensure your device's language settings are correctly configured, your internet connection is stable, and verify which Amazon marketplace your device is registered to, as this can affect which features are available in your region. If you're experiencing specific issues, Amazon Customer Service can provide detailed information about feature availability in your region. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331 for assistance. We appreciate this feedback as it helps Amazon understand the importance of expanding international support and features for global customers. Thank you for sharing your experience.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible. It talks when you aren’t even in the room. Have to ask it several times to stop. Says it’s not connected to internet and next time we ask it works. No problems with our Alexa dots Doesn’t set timers right. All ln all, worst Alexa purchase ever!

Posted .Hi Delores, thank you for providing feedback for Echo Show 8. I am sorry to see that the device is not functioning as intended. It seems that the device is having intermittent connectivity issues. To attempt to resolve the issue, please follow these steps:
1. Place your Echo device within 30 feet of your router.
2. Keep it away from interference sources like microwaves and baby monitors.
3. Check your router's functionality by connecting another device.
- If other devices can't connect, restart your router/modem and unplug your Echo for 30 seconds before plugging it back in.
- If other devices can connect, ensure you're entering the correct Wi-Fi password and consider turning off some devices to reduce interference.
4. If you have multiple devices on your Wi-Fi, try turning some off temporarily.
5. If your router has separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, switch your Echo to the other band.
6. Update your Echo's Wi-Fi settings if you've changed your Wi-Fi password.
7. If issues persist, consider factory resetting your Echo device. If this does not help and you need further assistance please feel free to reach out to Amazon Customer Service 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you again and have a wonderful day!

Not sure why I bought this now
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is slow and a talking advert for Amazon. Even when you ask Alexa to tell a joke she will try and up sale some cereal. Amazon could do so much better than this. We already bought the device and not everything needs to sell us something.

Posted .Hi RichardF,
I am sorry to hear about the reservations you have on the Echo Show 8 advertisements. Alexa uses your voice interaction data to personalize shopping recommendations and ads based on your interests. You can adjust these settings in the Alexa app to control how many shopping suggestions you receive. Go to the Alexa app, navigate to "Settings" > "Notifications" and adjust the settings related to shopping recommendations, including turning off "deal recommendations" and "reorder recommendations". Hope this is helpful, have a nice day!
Not worth it at all
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Should have went with Nest! When cameras trigger motion no matter any setting it only displays for a minute. Cameras freeze constantly on Show, are slow to load. We have a baby camera. The purpose is to continuously monitor our child. Immposible when ever other minute it will also completely go back to home screen.

Posted .Hi DakotaW, thank you for providing feedback on your experience with the Echo Show 8. I can certainly understand the frustration this is causing you.

If there is anything else we can help with, Amazon Customer service is available 24/7 for assistance. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information helps, have a great day!

Posted .Hi Missbless,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Echo Show 8 (3rd Generation). I'm truly sorry to hear about the multiple issues you're experiencing—Wi-Fi connectivity problems, glitches, unresponsive behavior, and unexpected voice activation are all serious concerns that prevent you from enjoying your device.
These types of persistent issues suggest either a defective unit or a significant setup problem that needs immediate attention. Here are some steps that might help:
Factory reset the device (Settings > Device Options > Reset to Factory Defaults)
Check your Wi-Fi network to ensure it's working properly and the device is within range
Disable wake word temporarily if Alexa is activating without prompting (Settings > Alexa Privacy > Manage How Alexa Responds)
Update software to ensure you have the latest firmware
A new Echo Show should work reliably right out of the box, and we want to make this right for you.

Horrible customer experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered online from Best Buy 5 Jan 2024. It has been 11 days since and haven’t received my item. All they mentioned when I made contact was that the shipment was delayed. Why was there no communication from them prior to me making contact. This was supposed to be a gift for someone. They really let me down on this one.
