Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was my fourth Echo device purchase. I have two Echo Show 5's, a 2nd generation dot, 4th generation dot and now this. We originally purchased an Echo Show 5 for our kitchen and I loved it so much, I decided to upgrade to the Show 8 and move the 5 to the living room. Luckily, the app makes it easy to change rooms for your devices because a lot of echo shuffling went on after that. We now have one in the kitchen, living room, basement, bedroom and bathroom. While I'm getting my lunch ready for work in the morning, I have Alexa show me the latest local news. Sometimes, I'll play some music, stream a show or watch a game while cooking. The resolution is pretty good for a small device and the sound is great. It's not stereo quality of course but it's not bad either. It was super easy to set up. I'm talking suuuuuper easy. Other than plugging it in, I didn't have to do anything. I didn't even have to add my wifi password because I was able to set everything up before the device even arrived thanks to a setup email. I didn't buy a stand for it but it fits just fine where I set it. It's not wobbly or unstable. I don't use my echos for phone calls so I can't say how well that works. I also haven't used the camera on this one, nor do I really have any immediate plans to, so I can't attest to that either. I honestly use these mostly to control lights throughout the house as well as the TVs, create shopping lists, set reminders and timers, view the cameras we have set up outside, check to see who is at the doorbell, ask about the weather and use for entertainment purposes. Speaking of entertainment, I have had issues with it opening Netflix. This isn't isolated to this device though. It's something I've had issues with on all my echo shows. You can ask her to, and she'll say she did, but nothing happens. I need to play around with it but haven't had time yet. Obviously not a priority. Other than that, she opens Amazon Prime just fine (of course) as well as Tubi. What's really nice is that I was also able to open my YouTube TV via the internet and scroll through the live guide with no issues. I have Amazon Photos and have made albums specifically for the show. I just did one that is all Christmas backgrounds and it looks so festive! I love it! I've also used their nature one and really like it. The photos are beautiful, although you do get news bits and Alexa tips inbetween. That doesn't bother me. Some of the tips are interesting and the news bits are informative. All in all, I think it's plainly obvious that I love the Alexa devices, having 5 throughout my house now. I'm not even sure I will stop there as I have considered getting one for our shop/garage as well as my workout shed. Time will tell there, but if you like the dots, upgrading to the shows are totally worth it and I'd definitely recommend.

I made a good purchase at a very good price with my Alexa. I am delighted with my echoshow 8, it has been very useful to me, the size is perfect, it has very good sound and has many functions. I love it

This Echo 8 is the Bomb! Really great bass sound, excellent camera can be used as security surveillance when away. I play Tony Bennett in the kitchen, when I’m in the living room!

I loved it!!!, I bought it at a very good price, very good purchase, sound, image, for my father who is an elderly man, it is very useful, only on some occasions when giving some indication, it seems that he did not listen to me, and I must repeat, but apart from that, I am very happy to have acquired it.

Purchased for my sister. She Googled all the things you can do with this Echo Show & convinced me I should have one also. Shocking how versatile this little contraption is & totally fun. I can see & chat with who is at my door now that my Ring is enabled, recipes galore, control lights, tv's, appliances & more. Follows me on chat as i walk around the room. To list all this affected my home would take more room than allowed. Suffice to say i love this!

I love this product. It has a big screen so it’s easy to see from a distance. Not only that but it doesn’t glitch like the others. I’ve had no problems at all. This product is worth getting if you have a hard time seeing from a far. Also if you want to run your home off of the internet like your lights, TV, outlets, etc. then this is what you definitely want to get. It makes a great addition to my home. Especially because I have a baby so my hands always full. So Alexa makes it easy to turn off the lights or TV when in a hurry. Or I went upstairs and whoops forgot to turn off the lights. All I have to do is ask Alexa to turn off the lights. Anyways yes I definitely would recommend this product to everyone that wants an internet ran home and a hands free life.

I like just the size where i can basically fit it anywhere i want it to be.The sound is also decently loud which i did not expect from it.I can watch all ny Tv shows or go on youtube.I can even controll my lights now and turn them on and off(If you have a smart wifi light bulb installed)Overall it’s a cool little device and 10/10 would recommend buying one and trying it out for yourself.

First of all let me say the shipping was extremely fast, after all the problems I had with shipping during the last to weeks of Christmas Best Buy was the best. I got this as a gift for my brother, he loved it. Especially the video part, we can have Alexa to call each other, and it fits perfectly anywhere as well.

This unit is a fantastic upgrade to our old model that has long had issues with static and popping noises while playing music. Super annoying … so it was time for an upgrade. This unit is smaller, sleeker and the sound is terrific. We’ve had this for just over a month so far and we re very happy! I did buy the warranty just in case this time!

I have 3 of these, placed all over my home. Great for communicating with my family. I also like to play music on them all over the house when i’m doing housework. the sound quality is actually really great.

I couldn't be happier with the Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen). The HD display is crisp and vibrant, making it a pleasure to watch videos, view photos, or follow along with recipes in the kitchen. The 13 MP camera is a great upgrade — it delivers clear video calls, which has truly transformed how I stay connected with family and friends. Alexa responds quickly and accurately to my commands, whether I need weather updates, smart home control, or just some music playing in the background. I also appreciate the sleek charcoal design, which fits beautifully into my living space without looking bulky. Overall, this device has become an essential part of my daily routine, making life more convenient and connected. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a smart display with excellent features and great performance!

Although we have had multiple Echo Show 5s, this is our first 8. I must say that I love not only the increased viewing area and overall better sound, but the ability to view multiple home cameras at once is a fantastic upgrade.

I was Google nest doorbell user but in order to get live screen instantly you have to buy a more expensive nest hub for this figure that Echo show has on all there size screen. I'm get their 10 inch echo show soon. I now have two 5 inch and one 8 inch shows in addition to a echo dot. I'm convincing most of my family and friends to get Ring with a echo show which i enjoy installing for them. Love their products and now it actually listens to commands alot more accurately.

Excellent product works very well,best price l would recommend this product

I have been wanting to upgrade my standard Alexa for a while, and this was totally worth it. Best Buy had this in sale around Christmas for $70, and it is 100% worth it if you use a standard Alexa or a dot (both of which I have). The display is nice, the access to apps such as Netflix is an added bonus, and the improved sound is also a nice feature. I ended up buying one for myself and then a week later, I purchased one for a family member as a gift for Christmas since she liked mine so much. I would totally recommend this product.

Large screen makes it easy to use. Paired quickly into my smart devices. Great valur

I love this device. It's truly the best purchase I've ever made I can tell it to turn off the lights turn on the fan and turn off the TV without going out of bed. It tells me when there's motion on my camera system, Its like a genie in the bottle.

Great quality, very fun, super easy to use and Alexa comes in handy every day! We love our Alexa.

I bought this for my mom and she loves it. We are able to communicate with each other’s ther while cooking or doing housework. I’m also able to send her pictures from my phone to her echo show. We were also able to communicate during the phone outage that we had a few days ago.

I’m impressed with the price and-all the technology behind it and the sound is amazing for a small speaker. I bought one for my Daughter’s Birthday present and immediately after she showed me what it can do, i bought one for myself and my wife, so we all have echo8.
