    I have one in my kitchen window and look at it every time I go into the kitchen, cook and wash dishes. I tell it what I need added to my shopping list and look to it for outside temp and time and ask it for recopies and music as i work. I have now gotten one for each of my adult kids.

    This is my 4th show unit. They are great, and my son loves it. I use this in my office to deliver news, notify me when packages come, show me who’s at the door through Ring, etc. Picked up this one when they had the holiday sale with the blink camera for a great value.

    This is a really fun and useful tool to keep my home connected. i paired it with 2 blink cameras and it works seamlessly. the sound quality is also excellent. i bought a mount to mount it on my kitchen cabinets so that it's out of the way. considering another one for my bedroom

    I got this for my parents place and they love the concept. The speaker is great and it’s something that helps them learn to better interact with their current technology. If Alexa spoke more languages then it would be nicer but I’m sure it will be updated soon enough.

    Our family loves the intercom feature allowing alexa devices to drop in on eachother. I also enjoy having any recipe at my fingertips in the kitchen. You can even add the ingredients straight to your shopping list. This is a great alexa device with good full sound.

    I have been waiting for a good sale and scored the motherload. I got 2 for almost the price of 1! They work fantastic with my Blink security cameras and my Ring doorbell. Does everything my old 1st Gen Alexa did but I have a screen now! I have had these for a couple weeks and am very happy.

    Got this as a Xmas gift for our mom. It was very easy to learn and she uses it every day. She keeps hers in the kitchen. Glad we went with the 8” screen the 5” would of been way to small. But for what it’s worth and what she’ll use it for, I’m not sure the 10” would of been worth the extra price.

    This is so handy. The screen is more useful than you imagine for an item you don't actually "need." It's the perfect size screen, you can block the camera and audio, and it gives loads of visual excitement to the regular usage of Alexa. Definitely worth the purchase.

    I bought it to use with blink cameras. I have 6 around the outside of my house. I love them. They work ever well with the echo show 8. There was a couple when i was at best buy talking about these and saying they were not any good. Glad I didn’t listen to their opinions.

    The screen size is perfect for video chatting with family. This is especially nice with my father in a retirement community who is not allowed visitors due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I can talk with him and we can see each other. I have an Alexa in almost every room.

    Love the Echo Show 8. Screen is large enough. Love that it displays time and temperature. Use it with my camera doorbell. I have even watched a show on it. It scrolls my pictures from my iPhone album. I can make a call from it and FaceTime my family and friends on it.

    I connected this to my ring doorbell, Kasa smart outlets, and smart bulbs. It works great. I prefer this over the Echo Show 5 for the larger screen since it plays Hulu and Amazon Prime. I just have it in the kitchen for when I want something on the background playing.

    In process of turning home into “smart-home” and i figure having Alexa would be great addition. Placed her in kitchen to give my visual recipes and watch my shows while cooking. Also could drop in and video chat from another echo or even my smart phone.

    Great device! We bought one for each of our kid's rooms, one for our room and one for the kitchen. It helps a ton to get everyone's attention without having to yell across the house. Kids love to play little games and ask all kinds of questions as well.

    Bought this for my 83 yr old mother. She loves it. Best gift ever. Also bought one for my sister so they can video call - BUT, no good directions on how to do the video call. Hoping my GEEK Squad experts will assist with that. I have a 5", considering upgrading.
