    I recently updated from the Echo Pop, to this Echo Show 8. It's a sleek looking 3rd generation touchscreen. I bought it for my disabled husband, who has dexterity issues when trying to dial via cell phone. Now he uses gross motor movements for the touchscreen or a voice command to not only call family but view them. The Echo smartly sits up by design to allow you to view it like a small television screen. Ive fallen in love with the device. Daily Im excited to ask Alexa to play music for enjoyment via amazon music, meanwhile the screen displays the lyrics in large print. The stereo sound is phenomenal. Visitors have been surprised to find the Echo is whats generating such quality sound. My husband now ask Alexa, "who's the artist?", instead of quizzing me. Lol. Im so satisfied with my purchase. It's so easy to set up and operate, that Im now going to buy one for my mom. It just requires your wifi address and password.

    I am totally impressed with the amount of things this echo can do to make my life easier to remember and the Big screen is a plus since I have gotten older and my vision is not so good. The sound is amazing to listen to while cooking and I Absolutely love the shopping list to remember what I need before I go to the store. That feature is so helpful for me.

    I had the previous generation of echo show 8 but i feel this new one has improved on a few things. The speed is so much better and almost no lag when using the interface. Also the sound now feels really nice when playing music.

    The Amazon Echo Show 8 has quickly become a beloved addition to our household, and it's easy to see why! From its generous screen size to its crystal-clear audio, this device has exceeded all of our expectations. First and foremost, the larger screen size of the Echo Show 8 provides a truly immersive experience. Whether we're video chatting with family and friends, watching our favorite movies and TV shows, or simply browsing through recipes in the kitchen, the vibrant display makes everything look better than ever before. The audio quality is another standout feature of the Echo Show 8. The sound is incredibly crisp and clear, whether we're listening to music, catching up on the news, or asking Alexa for the weather forecast. It's like having a high-end speaker system built right into our home. But perhaps the best part about the Echo Show 8 is how much fun it is for the whole family to use. Our 6-year-old daughter is absolutely enamored with Alexa and asks her questions all day long. Not only is she learning new things, but she's also discovering the funniest jokes to share with us, keeping the whole family entertained for hours on end. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our Amazon Echo Show 8. Its larger screen size, crystal-clear audio, and endless entertainment possibilities make it a must-have for any household. Whether you're young or old, tech-savvy or not, the Echo Show 8 is sure to bring joy and excitement to your home. Highly recommended!

    I bought this for a friend but when i tried to set it up for him it did not recognize his amazon account because he did not have one. I set him up with one and then tried to get him on Alexa. No immediate luck. I still presume it will work when i try again. Meanwhile i purchased one earlier for myself and it was very easy to set up. The only issue is sometimes the sound is lower than i like for a YouTube show (while the commercials are loud). However if you crank it up the sound can be extremely loud as it does have a strong speaker. Overall it is a nice size, great price, great quality and i would buy it again. If you have an Alexa app and Amazon account you will be in good shape and it will be easy to set up.

    Fantastic Upgrade with the Echo Show 8 (3rd Generation) Pros: Excellent 8-inch display with vibrant colors and sharp resolution. Improved speakers deliver clear sound, perfect for music and video calls. 13 MP camera with auto-framing, ideal for video calls and virtual meetings. Seamless smart home integration for controlling devices. Sleek and compact design that fits any space. Cons: No headphone jack. Some advanced features may depend on your region. My Experience: The Echo Show 8 (3rd Generation) has been a fantastic addition to my home. The screen quality is top-notch, and the audio is impressive for its size, making it great for streaming shows or listening to music. Alexa feels more responsive and handles smart home commands effortlessly, from adjusting lights to managing security cameras. The upgraded 13 MP camera is a standout feature. The auto-framing makes a huge difference during video calls, keeping me centered even if I move around. Combined with the high-quality microphone, it adds a personal and professional touch to virtual conversations. The charcoal color looks sleek and blends well with any room decor. It’s the perfect size—not too big, not too small—making it versatile for use in the kitchen, living room, or even a workspace. I’ve been using it daily and couldn’t be happier. Whether you want to enjoy entertainment, stay connected with loved ones, or make your home smarter, this device checks all the boxes. Highly recommended!

    I bought this unit for my brother who lives in NY. I live in Ireland, and I thought it would be good for video calls. I had the same unit myself. We are absolutely delighted with the Amazon Echo 8 unit. The picture and sound quality is so much better than we expected. Previously we video called using WhatsApp, and found it very frustrating. Using The Echo, calls can be made Hands Free, and the viewing area around is terrific. I purchased The Echo from Best Buy, online. The transaction was seamless, and the unit was delived Next day, to my brother in Long Island, and best of all, Free Shipping. I can honestly recommend this unit to anyone who likes making video call. Besides the video calls, the Echo displays all my uploaded photos from amazon Photos. It plays all my Spotify Playlists and allows me to listen to all my favorite Radio Stations around the world. The unit has many more features, too many to list here. Again I have no hesitation in recomming The Amazon Echo 8 3rd Generation. Brendan, Ireland.

    Somewhat to me surprise, I am really enjoying this. I decided to add it after successfully setting up an Echo 3rd generation Hub and discovering it worked with some light bulbs I got. The hardest part for me was getting used to using Alexa - somehow I had never gotten around to using it. The speaker on this Show 8 3rd generation is actually not bad, and I have been listening to music more than I would have predicted. It also does well controlling a set of smart plugs and two light bulbs in the same room, as well as some plugs and lights in another room.
