    Echo Show 8 Stand

    Product works perfect and does what it should. Improves sound quality and allows for improved viewing angles with a secure fit on the stand. However seems a bit overpriced for essentially a piece of plastic that should be included with the purchase of the Echo Show 8 itself.

    Caught it on sale, haven’t used it much except as a fancy alarm clock. Does what it advertises maybe a bit of an impulse buy as I have so many devices I find myself barely using it. Giving it a good value grade because I got this on sale along with a WiFi camera as a bundle

    When Best Buy was running a special, I traded in my two Echo Dots and replaced them with two Echo Show 5 units. Great decision. I like being able to view the screen, not only in conjunction with my Ring doorbell, but also with news articles. There are a lot of features I haven’t explored yet, such as video calling: that’s in the future. I replaced the clock radio in my bedroom with the Show, since now I can see the time and, as did the Dot, Alexa will wake me in the morning when I tell her to. The size of the Show 5 leaves a small footprint and the viewing angle is fine. Resolution on then screen gives a clear image. I took away one star, not for the Show, but for Alexa. She can be frustrating sometimes. For example, starting to respond to a question before I have finished asking or not responding appropriately to a question, even when I re-phrase it. Here’s a “hypothetical” of what I mean: Alexa, is the sky blue? Response, : “here’s what I found on Wikipedia...”. Alexa, what color is the sky? Response: “here’s what I found on Wikipedia...”

    Nice to see who is at the front door without going anywhere. I love the Echo show, Use it mostly for home automation control, the kids love to use it to play YouTube music.

    The echo show is great, It’s lots of fun to use, and very helpful with setting reminders and organizing schedules. I like that it works with my Ring doorbell so I can see who is at my door.

    I got this for my parents and aunt. They have a lot of appointments, nurses coming on different days and this is great for keeping the schedule for them. They also have fire tv and like the ease of controlling the programs with the echo. No fuss over who had the remote control last. It is a great gift.

    Love all Echo products! We have a 10 inch and the 5 inch. If you are an Amazon person these Echo Shows are great! Use this one as a bedside device and alarm clock.

    I use this as my night stand alarm clock, for music, etc. It dims perfectly at night so it is readable but not too bright. The screen works well and the size is just right for the night stand.

    So easy to setup. Works as implied. If you are planning on using lights or plugs make sure you get a hub with the whatever peripheral device you are getting. Or go with the Echo 8 or show.
