    I love this thing! Very easy to use and despite the reviews I read about the sound quality, I totally disagree. The sound and picture are outstanding. I love that when I'm getting ready in the morning I can just tell it to play a TV show or the news etc. I'll be watching more youtube videos on all the additional features it supports.

    Loving my echos....echos....echos! Hear the echo! The sound is so clear, Alexa is a life saver and I no longer have to quiz my kids on the time! We had other amazon products but didnt really get the house set up until the two echos joined our clan. I'm loving them! And so is the family! Thank you best buy for the great deal! Dare you to do it again! I would buy a few more for our friends and family far and wide!

    Right off the get I was impressed by the sound from this Echo Show. Alexa play Metallica radio on Pandora...MASTER!! The new features are nice. One of the main reasons I bought this was to be able to view my Arlo Pro 2 cameras on it. After some tinkering and Alexa show me Garage camera there it was. It gives me sports updates as well as it flashes upcoming games so now I never miss a chance to see the Red Wings lose, haha.

    i like it! i like that i can call it echo instead of Alexa because we have several of the devices. i can stream the news, music, ask questions. i know it will do so much more with smart home technology, i havent gotten there yet but so far its great. btw the speaker is very nice for such a small unit. i bought it onsale and with a best buy credit..its a bit pricey without that.

    I love this echo and all the options and skills it provides! I purchased one for myself and one for our youngest daughter so that we can video chat every day while quarantined! We also share our favorite recipes demonstrated and detailed on this echo. I connected our ring doorbell to the echo so that it shows us who is at our door! These are just a few of the many helpful tasks this echo provides to my family!

    I love this product! I have the smaller one in my bedroom, which I bought to use as an alarm clock. But it has so many other useful features. The same goes for this echo…I use this one in the kitchen. The large display makes it super easy to see from across the counter. From recipes, to phone calls, grocery lists, reminders, etc. I would recommend this product.

    Perfect Sized Alexa Smart Display

    Our household has an Alexa in most every room. The new Amazon Echo Show 8" features a bright, clear display which is useful as an office hub that will display your favorite photos, weather, news, and so much more. When you ask Alexa for the weather, the display shows the forecast for the week. This is just one example of how useful the display is. This Echo Show 8" & the Echo Show 10" both will connect to your HULU & YOUTUBE accounts. (Echo Show 5" will not). Simply say: "Alexa, watch (name your favorite news channel) on HULU. About 6 seconds later, you are connected! Even though I have a 55" TV in my office, it is distracting. This 8" Show is located between my 2) computer monitors & is not distracting, at all. CONCLUSION; I highly recommend the Echo Show 8" Smart Display. I use the Echo Show 10" for the kitchen & the 8" for an office hub. I use it daily.

    A good tabletop Alexa

    We bought this to replace our aging Alexa "tube" and to have easy access to information in the kitchen. It's a bit bulky, but the sound and picture is quite good and it looks good on the countertop. The touch interface can sometimes be a little "touchy" and controls a bit confusing/annoying which is why I knocked it down a star, but having the latest news pop up, or search results appear on the screen after you ask Alexa for information, among other niceties, make this a worthwhile investment. We haven't really tried it for video yet so I can't comment on that. Music/sound quality is pretty good for such a small unit.

    Replacement for my Echo Show

    For my bedside, I was going to get the Google Nest Hub Max but it was just too big. The comparable to the Hub Max by Amazon Echo was also too big so I settled on the 8. The size is perfect. It works well. I still find that trying to tell Alexa to turn my Nest thermostats on or off etc is a challenge and more trouble than it's worth so I use my phone for that. As I only recently set it up, that's all I have for now.

    I purchased two echo shows, one for our nursery and one for our bedroom. I like that I can see the nursery from our echo show that’s in our bedroom. I can also talk through it to the baby if I need to. It’s also nice to play music on when I’m trying to put the baby to sleep, or to see who’s at the door if I am rocking her and can’t get up to answer it. Overall, I’m very happy with both and would definitely recommend.
