    I love my Echo Show! It's the perfect compliment to my kitchen. Being able to watch my favorite shows and listen to music while I cook and clean makes tasks go by much quicker.

    Product works wonderfully. Alexa is annoying.

    The product is amazing. Alexa is more annoying than anticipated. Like anything, you have to learn to phrase questions and request in such a way that Alexa actually knows what you mean or want. We haven’t yet learned the full function of the product, but it is clear that more money will need to be spent to get additional devices that will utilize all capabilities.

    We bought two, one for my elderly dad and one for us. It is easy to set up and easy to use. It is perfect for FaceTiming my dad when our children visit.

    Poor Camera Placement

    I like the item, but sometimes malfunctions as all Echo devices do. Camera drop in doesn’t work as well as it should. I think they want you to purchase the stand in order for the camera not to be angled toward your ceiling fan.

    I love the show. I gave this one to my son at College. Great way to communicate like we are in the same room. Picture and audio are great as well. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it went on sale a couple weeks after I bought and I could of had it for much less. Because the return window had lapsed, BestBuy wouldn't honor.

    It is incredible technology! Great screen. Great speaker. A little complicated. We need to repeat commands often. Sometimes it will hear me when I am in the next room speaking with my Echo and turn on. At least BestBuy is giving me points for doing this review. Writing reviews is work -if someone asks asks you for a a review you need to get paid.

    I have a Google home hub and these devices are both great. The increased screen size and camera capabilities for me probably outweigh google's better implementation of digital photos and better searches.

    Got this for my dad as a Christmas present. He loves it. Says the sound is way better than he expected. Just uses it to listen to music mainly, not sure if he grasps the whole "smart" device concept.

    Purchased this on a bogo special, otherwise would not have purchased. Needed a mobile speaker for a tv and it works great for that and is fun to use. I have not used it to all of its capabilities.

    Images on the Echo Show 8 is great and the sound performance definitely surprised me on how well it sounded. Only downside is to import photos you will need Amazon Photo, but the setup is easy enough.

    It is amazing how simple it is to use however you should have yaccommodate. (e.g. lights, thermostats) named easy names so it can find them. Thus you may have to go back and rename them to accomodate.
