Wish I would have gotten this a long time ago. Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this device!

I absolutely love my echo show age 3rd generation! Perhaps legal upgrade someday to a bigger one, but for now this is perfect for my table next to my bed. I can use it to watch Netflix and all kinds of other things you can watch on their different apps. You can get on the Internet. You can listen to music you can listen to books I mean I’ve gotten so much use out of it and I just absolutely love. I can’t believe I didn’t have one sooner. I highly recommend this. I plan on hooking my security camera and they will also integrate with this item . I’m pretty sure it will hook up to a smart Home items especially they will if they work with Alexa. It’s easy to set up. I’m also buying a battery stand for it so I can take it with me when it gets warmer out outside if I want to when I go to sit on the porch or whatever I do outside. The music sounds great on it! The quality of watching movies or videos on it is great also. You also configure it with your Alexa app, which is very easy to do. It’s pretty much self-explanatory when you’re setting it up. it’s easy personalized for the things that you would like on there. I’ve spent some time going through all the little things that has on that you can do and it’s just there’s so much to do. I can’t even name everything. It’s great. I recommend that wouldn’t get that you know Jesus smart devices. I plan on hooking the external Bluetooth speaker up to it also. Corino, it’s very easy to ask questions like you on on any other electric device. The connectivity is great besides it just perfect. and like I said, it’s very easy to use very easy to set up and the controls on top of it or very easy. There’s only a few of them to do so there’s the volume up and down and the on button and the little switch if you’d like to turn the camera off, so you know if you feel more comfortable, not having the camera on oh and also you can use it as a camera in the room that it’s in and watch it from your phone from the Alexa app. It’s great that way if I think someone’s in my room, I can just turn on the camera from my phone app and see if someone’s in there or what’s going on in there. And it has two way talking on it if you wanna talk to the person in the room.. And really it’s not very heavy at all. I’m excited to get the battery to put on it to see how it is the carried around like that so when I go outside, you can have it also. Great device the great device for sure I wish I would’ve gotten a lot sooner.

Decent speaker with limitations
By J on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025
This Amazon Echo Show 8 is a good upgrade from the last model, with a brighter screen (with thick bezels) and a louder speaker. It looks great and fits nicely on a kitchen counter. Audio is crisp and clear, even if lacking a bit of bass. The experience with using Alexa on this speaker is less than ideal. Anything beyond checking the weather gave me trouble - sometimes because the microphones could not pick up my requests; other times because the device misheard my request and gave me information I didn't ask for. I don't normally have that problem with my other Alexa enabled devices. The whole interface of this device is slow and is barely an improvement from last generation, unfortunately. The screen, while bright, is often very slow to respond. The worst part of the screen is the prevalence of advertisements on the home page. There is no setting to turn them off, and they became so pervasive that it felt like I had an electronic billboard in my kitchen 24/7. That was disappointing, and there seems to be no way to pay for an upgrade to have an ad-free Alexa experience on this device. If you're looking for a simple speaker to play music on one speaker in the kitchen and to be able to check the time and the weather at a quick moment's notice, you will certainly be able to do that with this device. I did not enjoy using this device for anything other than those uses.
