Customer Ratings & Reviews

Echo Show works great and has great sound for listening to music. It is very easy to use and figure out. I ordered it online the picked it up at the store. The staff at the store was very good and was able to get it in a very short time. I got it at a sale price which made it a very good value. You always have a good experience at Best Buy!

Great way to communicate with others without having to use a tablet.puts out great sound too.

Having a Echo 1st Gen and Echo Plus I decided to purchase the Echo Show 8 in order to have the ability to view video when using online news feeds and for home security. The Echo Show 8 comes preloaded with Tubi, and Hulu which does provide interesting contents if you done mine watching on an 8” screen. You can also request and watch your favorite YouTube videos without the need of a subscription service. If you’re subscribed to prime video then you have access to the full Amazon library. It is also good for calling friends or family members and being able to see one other when you’re unable to use FaceTime. Having the ability to drop in on older parents is an plus, and being able to drop in from your mobile devices to check in on your home while you are away give you an extra layer of home security. The Echo Show 8 doesn’t do anything more then any of the others echos beside having the capability of video, and it’s sound quality isn’t much better when considering that it does have two stereo speakers on either side. I enjoy watching my pictures as background photos, but it is a bit annoying having the constant “TRY this” message appear at the bottom of the screen and not having the option to eliminate it. That explains my evaluation of 4 Stars. I am contempt with my purchase since it fulfills my desires and requirements. Also I got it on sales during the holidays and it included a free echo dot.

Great show. Perfect for bedrooms it’s a must buy.

I like this, she will wake me up when asked so I have no need for an alarm clock, she gives reminder notices, video chats with those also having an alexa show, good music sound quality , If you have a video doorbell you can check it on Alexa. we get the daily weather and traffic report without having to wait for the t.v. to reach the segment needed. I am still learning what she does but will keep it.

Amazon Echo Show 8 is awesome. This is my third Echo Show and the 8 inch screen is incredible.

Very happy! Can play music for $3.99/Mo. which is worth it. Easy to set up but must an Amazon account. Can video with other family or friends who also have Alexa. Can use it as a phone and can ask it questions. Can make your own playlists. Can take it from room to room or on vacation with you! Overall worth the price!

I love my echo show 8 awesome price lots of features great for the money

I already own the echo show 5 (great product btw), but when I saw the echo show 8 on sale this past weekend... I couldn't pass it up. I was excited because is perfect size on the kitchen counter. I enjoy watching video and play music. The sound is great too! Keeps me updated on news and weather forecast and asking basically any question you can think of. Recipe feature is excellent too. Don't forget the stand.

Have only had for the past month, but it has been a great device for helping as a caregiver. I have it set to alert me at night, Alexa helps find calming music or tell stories to my mother when she is having a tough time relaxing. Would highly recommend, as it is much more reasonable then other types of alarms and offers so much more.

Family and friends are easily reachable: just ask Alexa. Alexa has saved me from fall injury by reaching husband who could not hear my screams. Surely if I needed police or fire assistance Alexa could help me. The best thing about echo aside from all of the information, music, tips, recipes, tricks,etc, is that I am able to rant and rave to a silent audience (unless you ask a question):

It great having this Alexa. I use it daily for so many purposes. It's my alarm clock, radio, recipe file, a wealth of knowledge and much more. It is easy to use and set up. The sound is great and I love adding my photos to it. I live in a rural area and when I can't get a signal for my cell phone I use Alexa. This is, to me, a hidden feature nobody spoke of and makes this unit more valuable to me!! I love my Show 8.

This worked great right out of the box. I had it up and running within minutes using the Alexa app on my iPhone. I put this in my mother's house so she could have an easy-to-use way to video with the family. She learned it quickly and now says it makes her feel much. ore connected with everyone and less lonely.

Does the job for a good price. Would definitely recommend if it is on sale. I feel that the Alexa AI could be a little better, but the screen is beautiful, and it serves as a great digital clock if nothing else. Also, I think that the size is perfect if you are wanting to place it in a kitchen. I did a lot of research on what size I should purchase, and I’m happy I chose the 8.

After using an Echo Plus and a couple Dots for a few years, this was a nice change to adorn my nightstand. The weather and news readouts are helpful visual cues alongside Alexa's usual info blurbs. The device itself is sleek and elegant, and it compliments the industrial-modern aesthetic of my decor (i.e. matte blacks, polished wood, and metal supports). Because the Show 8 and Show 10.1 occupy a larger footprint than the other Echo devices, some buyers may want to consider the space needed and the aesthetics the devices have in a living space. Also, yes, it has a camera cover, assuming you're worried about privacy. Can't say the same about the microphones; but if you're that concerned about audio data privacy, you likely aren't going to buy an Echo device to begin with. Only complaint is a one-time experience when it wouldn't shut off an alarm after I repeatedly told it to "stop." Some users may want to go into the device preferences and opt out of the cycling headlines and Alexa tips as well. Overall I'm very pleased with this, and I'm glad I chose this model over the much larger 10.1 version.

Really easy to set up. Follow the instructions and you can connect easily with friends and family. Makes it easy for me to "drop In" on my elderly parents just to check in and stay connected with my family all in different states. Picture is good, sound is good, the compatibility with Ring devices and other smart appliances is amazing and easy to set-up. Absolutely LOVE this device.

My siblings and I bought this for my dad for fathers day. He has some visual and motor impairment (struggles with small print and low contrast things). He absolutely loves that he can talk to "Alexa". He enjoys watching youtube videos on this as well as music. It was a great gift even for someone who isn't the most tech savvy. It is friendly to those with visual and motor impairment! Highly recommend :)

Cool little device easy to use and fun the screen is big enough and the speakers are loud.

I use this product for recipes, alarms and timers it's in my kitchen area. Works well.

I replaced my first gen echo show with this, its like a completely different experience. Sound quality is amazing, and the screen is so much nicer. Also, although the unit overall is smaller, the screen seems to be about the same size, if not slightly larger. If you haven't upgraded from your first gen show yet, i recommend it! Also check out trading in your old device to bestbuy or amazon. I got an extra 25% off and $30.
