    This is the 3rd echo show we bought from Bestbuy. We love that they display whatever you ask them too. Especially love we can view our cameras on them and use them as a camera in the house.

    I bought this so to use as a display for my cameras. I like the echo so much I bought another one. I can watch movies, listen to music, know when my shopping has been delivered and ask for recipes.

    We got this during Black Friday/Cyber Monday and it was at a great price. It’s a good addition to our collection of devices. The main reason we purchased it was so we could make video calls with friends and hear them a little better. It doesn’t always catch what I’m saying and the response time is a little slower than I was hoping for, but I’m not using it all of the time so it doesn’t really bother us.

    Regardless of what people/the manual say, you can set it up and use 90% of the features without a smartphone/tablet with the Alexa app as long as you have a pre-existing Amazon account. Live video and audio security monitoring feature was very helpful whilst living in a home with others, as well as the ability to use it as just a standard bluetooth speaker, watch most major streaming platforms, and browse the web via Silk. Worked well for what I purchased it for (security monitoring my room, displaying piano sheet music, watching streaming services, listening to music and VERY loud alarms that were capable of accidentally waking the entire house up at 5:30AM on a Saturday :P yes, it gets that loud, be careful.)

    My original quit connecting and I went with Google shows. But so glad to have Alexa back!! She was missed. It is much easier for me to connect my ring camera to her than it was Google and the same with my Honeywell thermostat.

    This is the best thing. I had the smaller which was the 5 and this 8 is so much larger. I can see it without my glasses. Even though it is very bright even with the settings turned down all the way I still give it 5 stars.

    I bought this as a gift for my parents. They recently purchased Ring doorbells and cameras. They had the Echo Show 5, but the three inches made a huge difference. Also, it's great for video calls and watching Amazon video.

    Love this! I bought it for an aunt that is almost blind. It allows her to make voice call to family, friends, and even video chat with her doctor. It has given her some basic independence that she didn’t have for a long time.

    The echo show is a nice addition to my home. I can easily video chat with my mom as she has one as well. I like that you can have your own photos rotate as the display when not in use. The off and closed camera feature give you more privacy.

    I use my Alexa daily to hear the news and an check weather. Also set up numerous IFTTT routines to make my day easier. From controlling lights to locking my doors, this product is fabulous. I bought one for the bedroom and one for the kitchen!

    We had an Echo Dot but wanted something more functional. Plus, we also wanted a way to display photos. This was perfect. Also, it’s great to be able to watch Netflix and Hulu while you cook. Great screen quality and speaker.

    It is fun having the Echo Show 8 around. It keeps my granddaughter occupied listening to songs from her favorite movies. I have used it to tell me weather updates, communicate with others and listen to relaxing music as I am reading.

    I have both HomePod mini and this echo show 8 inch and I would say the echo show is sounds way better than HomePod mini! If you're looking for a great sound out of a smart speaker this product will exceed your expectations.

    We loved the 8" so much we put a 10" in the kitchen and use this one out in an enclosed tiki hut to see who is at the front door and control all the lights as well.
