    This was the only device that allowed my family to “drop” in on my mom in her assisted living facility during the shut down. She is not able to answer the phone because of memory loss, but we were still able to contact her. This has giving us so much piece of mind during a difficult time. Works great and her now is even able to call us and do video chats!

    This really helped us connect our kids with their grandparents. My dad doesn't have a smartphone and there aren't good instructions with it on how to set it up with downloading the Alexa app on your smartphone. I dug around online long enough in Amazon help docs to figure it out, but was definitely more challenging to set up than expected. With a smartphone, it's much easier. Dont like how you cant adjust the angle it sits at without spending more money on an adjustable bracket. Sometimes your too close, sometimes you're too far away... cant adjust it. Picture and video quality is good. No complaints there.

    This Echo Show 8" Smart Display with Alexa is really perfect for my wife. She loves using it in playing her favorite songs. The sound quality is really good. She said the sound is better than her JBL bluetooth speaker. She is also using it to inquire about recipes and uses as a timer for her cooking. You can't go wrong on this product.

    I have been pretty happy with this echo show 8. It's not too big or small so it's perfect for the kitchen or living room. The price was good because I paid $80 for it.

    My sister had this in the smaller version, and we had to get one for ourselves. We love seeing the words to songs that we struggled with making out before....lol. Great for question of the day and everything else you want to see as well as hear from Alexa! So happy we go the larger screen too. Not noticeable at all on our kitchen counter in the light color.

    The product promises a lot but limited in delivery. Excellent quality of screen but limited in application and does not allow much for additional options. It is recommended if you use it for controlling your smart home devices and monitor security cameras but beyond that the video capability is restricted to few applications. I enjoy HULU shows on it but that's. MUST RUN ON POWER, no battery option at all. I bought it when BestBuy had it as 2 for price of 1 otherwise it is not worth the retail price.

    Nice sized device. I use it mostly to play music and it works great for that. It sounds better than my JBL Clip 3 which I wasn't expecting. I wish that it had a physical button to turn off the screen, but you can just ask Alexa to turn off the screen.

    Bought this show 8 for my 97 year old dad. He is amazed at being able to connect with us via video and he can hear us well. I have the Show 5 and his must be leader then mine.. so the Echo show 8 is perfect for viewing g and hearing... much better than the show 5

    In my opinion it is the best Alexa gadget out of them all. Does everything all other gadgets do but it's got a really nice screen and the user interface is friendly and well thought out. Doesn't just play slideshows and video calling for Grandma. Oh and the sound quality is incredible out of such a small package. This thing BUMPS!

    Very convenient to use and play on command. you can also develop routines to start off your day. it can also connect to the "Ring" App to see who's at your front door by saying "Alexa, show me who's at the door." there are many benefits with the echo, you just need time to explore them with Alexa to unlock her full potential.
