It has been a few years since I last purchased and Echo Show. Between my last purchase and this one, a few changes regarding the hardware have occurred. I wish they would develop a way to connect external devices to the Echo Show, or to use it as an additional display unit. I like that it has remained the same shape and size as my last purchase. The sound quality appears to be better. At times the unit isn't as user friendly as I would like. However, this may be more of a software issue, than a hardware issue. Overall it is a good and reliable product.

I bought this unit for my brother who lives in NY.
I live in Ireland, and I thought it would be good for video calls. I had the same unit myself.
We are absolutely delighted with the Amazon Echo 8 unit.
The picture and sound quality is so much better than we expected.
Previously we video called using WhatsApp, and found it very frustrating.
Using The Echo, calls can be made Hands Free, and the viewing area around is terrific.
I purchased The Echo from Best Buy, online.
The transaction was seamless, and the unit was delived Next day, to my brother in Long Island, and best of all, Free Shipping.
I can honestly recommend this unit to anyone who likes making video call.
Besides the video calls, the Echo displays all my uploaded photos from amazon Photos. It plays all my Spotify Playlists and allows me to listen to all my favorite Radio Stations around the world.
The unit has many more features, too many to list here.
Again I have no hesitation in recomming The Amazon Echo 8 3rd Generation.
Brendan, Ireland.

I bought this for a friend but when i tried to set it up for him it did not recognize his amazon account because he did not have one. I set him up with one and then tried to get him on Alexa. No immediate luck. I still presume it will work when i try again. Meanwhile i purchased one earlier for myself and it was very easy to set up. The only issue is sometimes the sound is lower than i like for a YouTube show (while the commercials are loud). However if you crank it up the sound can be extremely loud as it does have a strong speaker. Overall it is a nice size, great price, great quality and i would buy it again. If you have an Alexa app and Amazon account you will be in good shape and it will be easy to set up.

Bought for my kids to easily connect with me and each other. So much better than talking on facetime. Downside is you can only call people who have the device. How do you find out which of your friends have it? It is also handy for looking up things, making lists, asking questions. I'm still discovering different ways to use device. I like that you can shut the camera off when not using. I wish it came with a manual.

Bought this unit primarily to display multiple Blink and Ring cameras. Works great in displaying up to four cameras simultaneously. Started using to access music and news and other apps. I was skeptical at first using such a voice activated device for security concerns and are careful of when powered on as to the voice commands I use. Some ads can be annoying but otherwise this is a great product.

Super fast shipping of a great product. I use the Echo Show to run automations (lights on/off, door locked/unlocked, garage door open/close, etc), to listen to music and podcasts, check the weather, set alarms, and view my doorbell and wireless cameras. The touch screen is nice and the screen itself is great for watching streaming services or YouTube videos. Set up takes 3 minutes out of the box.

I use it daily when I work from home! Great size screen for a desk setup. I watch my news in the morning, and jam out to music during the afternoon. Its a great tool for setting reminders and timers! I recommend it, only downside is that it doesn't allow the possibility to watch HBO or Disney Plus. In reality, not the biggest deal, Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu is support. In my experience Hulu is a hit or miss; mostly a miss most shows experience an issue when I try to watch a show and bugs out the application. I'm sure there will be a big patch that can fix it.
I would recommend this to a friend

Bought this to replace my old 5" screen echo in the kitchen. 8" screen is a great change - I can actually see the pictures on the screen! I'm having a problem making this my "Master" device over the other show and 2 dots in the house. Probably user error.
At any rate, I like the features of the Show and paln to incorporate a Ring doorbell into the mix
I would recommend this to a friend

It’s an Amazon product, so it’s good all around. I use mine for music and watching cooking videos mostly, but it also allows you to look at compatible cameras, make video calls, or even use it as a camera itself. This is a great buy for anyone who needs a smart speaker with a good personal assistant. I buy all kinds of Alexa products and they have never failed me.

With its sleek design, vibrant HD display, rich audio quality, and seamless Alexa integration, it enhances home automation and provides an excellent user experience. Highly recommended for video calls, smart home control, and entertainment.

Wonderful speakers, the quality of the speakers were very nice especially when listening to music, but I mainly got it to review my security cameras and it’s so easy to connect and see everything.

This is a great addition to my home. Even though it's not a smart home, I get a lot of use from my Echo Show 8. I have it on my kitchen counter and watch "TV" while I cook and I watch the news during dinner. The picture and sound are crystal clear. I highly recommend it! The set up is a breeze!!
