Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The echo show 8 was not what I expected. It started out responding great but the speaker was very low, even at full volume. It started ignoring commands. I had to put echo 5 back in its place. Much better sound and response. I do not recommend echo 8.

Posted .Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Echo Show 8. I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your Echo Show 8. I recommend making sure that the Echo Show 8 is on the latest software. You can check this by going into the device's settings or by saying, "Alexa, check for updates." I also recommend the following if the device is ignoring commands: 1. Check that your device has a strong internet connection. 2. Restart your device by unplugging it from power, waiting 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in. 3. If none of these steps help, I recommend factory resetting the device by holding the mute and volume down keys until you see the Amazon logo, and then follow the on-screen prompts. If these steps do not help, and you are still having functionality issues, call Amazon customer service at 1-888-280-4331. They are available 24/7. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you!

Yes, it does a few good things but I wish I returned this while I could. It's a constant irritating (Z(*$_@+ ad screen for Amazon products, which I should have considered before purchasing.

Not worth it at all
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Should have went with Nest! When cameras trigger motion no matter any setting it only displays for a minute. Cameras freeze constantly on Show, are slow to load. We have a baby camera. The purpose is to continuously monitor our child. Immposible when ever other minute it will also completely go back to home screen.

Posted .Hi DakotaW, thank you for providing feedback on your experience with the Echo Show 8. I can certainly understand the frustration this is causing you. The amount of time that a particular camera will display on your device will vary depending on the manufacturer and their specifications, and in general, they are not designed for continuous live view. If there is anything else we can help with, Amazon Customer service is available 24/7 for assistance. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information helps, have a great day!

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered online from Best Buy 5 Jan 2024. It has been 11 days since and haven’t received my item. All they mentioned when I made contact was that the shipment was delayed. Why was there no communication from them prior to me making contact. This was supposed to be a gift for someone. They really let me down on this one.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not what i expected. It never responds right. The screen almost seems pointless because it doesn't do much. Google would have been better I think.

Posted .Hello GinaM,
We’re sorry to hear the Echo Show 8 (3rd Generation) 8-inch Smart Display with Alexa didn’t meet your expectations. The device is designed to offer a blend of visual and voice-based features, but we understand it may not suit everyone’s needs. If it’s not responding correctly, it could be due to settings or connectivity issues. Regarding functionality, the Echo Show 8 offers features like video calls, smart home control, and streaming content, but we understand preferences differ. Have an amazing day!
Meh

Posted .Hi SeanG, thank you for providing feedback. The Echo Show 8 is a fantastic device for managing your smart home and enjoying entertainment, but it's not built for travel. If you're looking for something portable, an Amazon Fire Tablet is perfect for on-the-go streaming, reading, or browsing. Hopefully this info is useful. Thank you again and Happy Holidays!
NOPE
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No action button but fully connected to wifi- and following instructions (volume up/down hold) would not connect to app. There are adds that randomly swing though display. Speaker is fully pushed out to the back, not forward. Going back to my Dot.

Posted .Hello Scruff! Thank you so much for providing feedback on your device. I am so sorry to hear of the trouble you are having with getting it connected to your app. Before you return it, I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to troubleshoot your specific issue. As for the ads looping through, you can always navigate to Settings>Home Content and there you can toggle off any selections listed that you do not want Alexa to recommend for you. Lastly, for the speakers, while the speakers are in the back of the device, it is equipped with spatial audio and room filling bass and acoustics that make the audio vastly superior to an Echo Dot. I would recommend giving it a listen and you can tweak the audio experience through the Equalizer in the Settings as well. I do hope you give the above a try before returning to see if you can enjoy your Show 8 to your expectations. Thanks again for your valued feedback and I do hope you have an awesome day!
Dead in less than 24h...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit died 24h after it was turned on. Several other users are reporting the same issue. I left the country (it was a gift), and Amazon didn't honor the warranty. So I brought it back and returned to Best Buy. I've been using Google Hub devices for years without a single issue...
