    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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 .

    So I’m actually switch back from google. Alexa is amazing. Amazon gives Alexa way more skills to connect multiple services. Sound quality is great and screen is bright. Only complaint from this to google is I wish they didn’t put ads in the display.

    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.

    wasn't sure what to expect from alexa - but i have enjoyed having it in the new home. i wish - if you changed to the dude's voice - that it would answer to 'alex' instead. lol i know i am not using alexa to the fullest yet - but with time - i am sure i will do more - and will be happy it can do more than play podcasts and turn my lights on and off [

    I already own 2 little dot Alexa’s but my new Echo Show is so much fun! It has a beautiful screen and amazing sound system. I love that it does a slideshow of all my pictures from my iPhone and when it plays music, it shows the words so I can sing along with it.

    Happy With Amazon Echo Show 8 2nd Generation

    We own several Amazon Echo 8 (Gen 1) and we’ve been very happy with them. Based on my research, the Gen 2 offers a faster processor & better camera (Gen 1 - 1-Megapixel vs Gen 2 - 13-Magapixel). If you do a lot of video calls, this is pretty big.
