    Good product, works as expected. The power cable should be a little bit longer. I had to use an extension cord to place it where I want it in our bedroom.

      Hello TammyM! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing horrible quality, voice recognition issues, and glitches with your Echo Show 8. These problems can be incredibly frustrating when your device isn't responding properly to your commands. To help resolve the voice recognition and quality issues, ensure your Echo Show 8 has a strong and stable Wi-Fi connection, as connectivity problems can significantly impact voice recognition accuracy and overall performance. Restart your device by unplugging it from power, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging it back in to clear temporary glitches. Check that your device has the latest software updates by going to Settings, Device Options, and System Updates, as outdated firmware can cause voice recognition and performance problems. Make sure the microphones aren't obstructed or covered and that there's no excessive background noise interfering with voice detection—you can test the microphones by going to Settings, Device Options, and selecting Check Microphones. Clean the device screen and ensure the microphone holes aren't blocked by dust or debris. If Alexa isn't understanding you, try retraining the voice recognition by going to Settings, Your Profile & Family, Your Voice, and selecting Improve Your Alexa Experience to help the device better recognize your speech patterns. Check the volume settings and ensure Do Not Disturb mode isn't enabled, as this can affect responsiveness. If the device is freezing or glitching, check available storage and clear cache on apps that may be causing issues by going to Settings, Applications & Notifications, and Manage Installed Applications.

      If these troubleshooting steps don't resolve the voice recognition problems and glitches you're experiencing, Amazon Customer Support is available 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331 for additional assistance. AmazonDevices

    Junk; Do NOT trust good reviews people incented to

    Some people are being incented to write good reviews for the Alexa Echo 8 so beware of that. I used to be a fan of Alexa (have some other devices), but the newest Echo 8 I just bought from Best Buy I returned as complete JUNK. I'm an engineer very adept at using computers and all sorts of devices but I waisted way too much time trying to get the echo 8 set up as it would never connect to my phone app, the screen doesnt recognize what you're tapping on it too often, & no decent customer support. I really wanted to love this device but do NOT buy until Alexa confirms they have fixed these problems.

      Hi UnhappyAlexaEcho8Buyer,
      I am sorry to hear your Echo Show 8 was having issues. If your Alexa app isn't working, try restarting your Alexa device and the app itself. If that doesn't help, ensure your device is connected to the internet and that the app and device are both up-to-date. You can also clear the app's cache or data, force-stop the app, or even uninstall and reinstall it. Hope this helps, have a nice day! AmazonDevices
