    We’ve been an Alexa family for quite some time (I want to say 6 years) and we’ve used many devices. Some we love (Echo Dot 4th generation) and some we didn’t like (Echo Dot 2nd generation). The Echo Show 8 is very nice. It’s well constructed, sounds nice and does everything you expect. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes it doesn’t hear you/respond to a command even though you’re literally 3 feet away and speaking loudly. Granted this doesn’t happen often but the fact that is occurs at all is annoying and worthy of losing a star in my opinion.

    Good for entertainment while you are standing in the kitchen waiting for your morning coffee to kick in. Gives out all the premium features you could need in an assistance, but the best part is my house playing the music i like the moment i like it. Truly a device for smart homes.

    I love using this. Our whole family uses it all the time. Very convenient when you don't feel like grabbing a device to google things. You can play music, find recipes, follow the weather, the options are abundant.

    Best in home purchase I’ve made in awhile! She does it all. You can video chat with other Alexa users, listen to music, watch videos on YouTube, look up weather, home security, etc. You can also add multiple languages to your device!

    Purchased for the boy since he was going off to college. Very easy set up, great screen, and some cool features. He uses it for an alarm, music, reminders, and keeping in contact via video chat with his mom. Great autozoom on video chat. When he moves around the camera automatically tracks him and even zooms.

    We have "Alexa" throughout our house. Love the addition of this product. Start the day off with a little chuckle with the joke of the day. Find a new recipe with the touch of the finger. Easy to find a favorite song to listen to. So many features to try. It's on our kitchen counter for easy access.

    I love this item! The screen is large and clear and it works great with my ring devices. I’m going to purchase this for my parents so my mom can see all aspects of their home since she can’t get out of the bed. It would give her a sense of security.

    I bought this for my son-in-law for Christmas. It is his first venture into smart products. He's always like the 2 Echo Show 8's first gen that I have. He really likes the sound quality and the camera is better than the first gen. I bought it before Christmas for full price, but it went on sale for $40 less and Best Buy did a price match for me. Thank you Best Buy!!

    The video plays smoothly, the sound quality is impressive for the size, and it can get VERY loud. I bought twins to conference call with the daughter out of state and I'm completely satisfied with the purchase.

    Upgraded the echo dot to this one. Really like that you can put on YouTube or Netflix on it and make video calls. It’s nice for making grocery lists and sending directly to your printer. The recipe mode is also nice.would’ve gave it 5 stars instead of 4 but there is one thing it does that I don’t like and that is that while playing music sometimes it will not exit no matter how many times to tell Alexa to “stop” “turnoff” “exit” it gets frustrating but other than that it’s a good product .

    This fun addition to my kitchen adds exactly the music, weather-reports, recipes and odd bits of information that I never knew I was missing. I like the unobtrusive size. I did not get the stand. Music sound is quite good. Love that I can get my favorite Sirius radio stations thru Alexa. I do keep the camera eye closed. Was a great Cyber Monday purchase.

    I purchased it to replace my Google Home as it is slow when responding and randomly shuts down. I’m surprised with Alexa’s performance! I don’t need to raise my voice or repeat what I said. I’m very happy with my purchase.
