Great device, very practical
I absolutely love this Echo Show 8. The screen is clear and the sound quality is great. It’s very easy to set up and works perfectly with Alexa. I use it every day to watch videos, check the weather, control smart home devices, and make video calls. It’s very convenient and responsive. The design looks modern and fits nicely in my kitchen. Overall, it’s a great device and I highly recommend it.

The perfect kitchen companion
I absolutely love my white Amazon Echo Show 8—it has become one of the most useful and enjoyable additions to my kitchen. The clean white design looks modern and minimal, and it blends beautifully with my kitchen décor without feeling bulky or out of place on the counter. One of my favorite things about it is how convenient it makes everyday tasks. While I’m cooking, I can simply ask Alexa to pull up recipes, set multiple timers, convert measurements, or add items to my grocery list without having to stop what I’m doing. The 8-inch screen is the perfect size—large enough to easily read recipes or watch quick cooking videos, but compact enough that it doesn’t take up too much counter space. I also love using it to play music or podcasts while I’m in the kitchen. The sound quality is surprisingly great, filling the room without sounding tinny or too loud. It makes cooking, cleaning, and even just making coffee in the morning feel more enjoyable. Another feature I use a lot is the ability to quickly check the weather, calendar reminders, and news while I’m starting my day. The display quality is bright and clear, and the touchscreen is very responsive. It’s also nice that it can show rotating photos when it’s idle—it almost feels like a digital picture frame, which adds a cozy touch to the kitchen. Overall, the Echo Show 8 has been incredibly practical and fun to use. It keeps me organized, entertained, and makes cooking so much easier. If you’re looking for a smart display that’s functional, stylish, and easy to use, I highly recommend it. It has truly become a little kitchen assistant that I didn’t realize I needed but now wouldn’t want to live without.

Great video conference and Alexa features but still needs some work!
The Echo Show 8 is a solid unit with excellent sound and video. Pros: - Video is sharp and easy to read. - Sound is clear and can go from soft to quite loud which is good if in a larger/noisier room. - Unit is solid with some good weight to it. - Video conference camera does pan, tilt and zoom. Cons: - Unit sits at a permanent angle which isn't good if you're trying to sit it on a flat surface and have it aimed straight ahead. Instead, unit can be propped to provide a better angle at close range. - Camera focuses on weird spots and not sure if it is following sound or motion but there is a tendency to get some weird camera shots and not be focussed on someone talking. - Camera takes too long to readjust position with multiple people in the room. - Camera is not manually adjustable. - Alexa will sometimes just start responding even though the wake word wasn't actually spoken. The funny part is that "Alexa" will recognize that fact if you. bring it up and apologize. - Screen keeps coming on even when Alexa is instructed to leave it off permanently. - There's no way to cast the video to a larger screen. Due to the funky camera shots and lack of being able to share video to a larger device, the rating for me is four stars. Other than that, the unit is wonderful.

Ads, Ads, Ads
I bought this thinking it would work as a nice hub for my security camera system and to get me to finally commit to buying Amazon devices for my home. I am now thinking that I made a huge mistake. I want to like this, but it's terrible. It's very slow to respond and nonstop ads and unnecessary visual items like sports or news. I wish I had not purchased this and instead got something Apple or Google based. I imagine that this negative feeling is factored into the fact that they're pumping tons of ads into households across the country, so for those less bothered it will satisfy Amazon's desire to earn advertisement revenue, but the execution is poor. The laggy device means I'll never select an advertisement or care. Secondly, I don't want to see ads in my kitchen. Finally, if this feature was more controllable and the device more customizable, then maybe, but it's not. I'm only keeping it until I find something better and then I'll never buy another Amazon smart home product again The device's main purpose is to show you ads and to listen to your conversations, identify things inside your home that you use or might need. It's secondary purpose is to serve as a slideshow for photos, sports, and news. The clock and weather are tertiary and anything else comes after those aforementioned tasks. I'm only giving it five stars so that my review isn't buried. It's more of a 3 stars if it was customizable, and 4 stars if it wasn't laggy, but it's really 2 stars because of the ads. Sounds great, looks good, but slow and full of ads.

This Echo Show 8 completely exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is amazing—it actually feels like a mini home speaker system with rich bass and crisp clarity. Whether I’m playing music, watching videos, or just listening to the news, it sounds fantastic. The display is super sharp and bright, and it automatically adjusts to the lighting in the room, which makes it perfect for any time of day. Alexa feels faster and smarter, and the responses are almost instant. I use it every day—for checking weather, playing music, making video calls, controlling lights, and even watching YouTube and recipe videos. It’s become such a natural part of my daily routine. The built-in smart home hub is also a huge plus—makes managing everything so simple. It looks clean and modern too. The Charcoal finish gives it a premium feel. Honestly, this is probably the most useful and enjoyable smart device I own. I would 100% recommend it to anyone!

I upgraded to a Show 8, as my generation 1 Echo Plus doesn't support Alexa+. So this was a combination of a better unit and future proofing. The Show 8 contains three different styles of Hubs, so should work with just about any smart device. The Show 8 has a crisp and clear screen and the speakers are a huge upgrade over the Echo Plus style device. Audio feels like it fills the room much more so, rather than originating in one place. I'm primarily using the Show 8 as a voice interface, but had to use the Touchscreen a little during setup. Setup was extremely easy. I plugged it in. A minute later is asked if I was (my name) and when I clicked yes it then joined the network entirely on its own. I now have the Show 8, Echo Plus, and an Echo Dot, and depending where I am, any one of the three seamlessly answers me. The audio is the massive upgrade although using Alexa+ features is what I bought it for.

Gran pantalla y mejor que su predecesora generación 2. La utilizo en mi habitación y suena espectacular. Su seguimiento de camara me encanta a la hora de hacer videollamadas. Puedo ver mis camaras wifi y controlar varios dispositivos compatibles.

Me gustó y el sonido está bien, lamentablemente tengo que acceder a mi cuenta de YouTube cada vez que quiero ver un video sin anuncios. La compré justamente para eso para poder ver videos de cocina o recetas mientras cocino, pero es inservible... No guarda la sesión y es el doble de frustrante porque me dice que mi contraseña está incorrecta y tengo que re-setear la contraseña cada vez que intento acceder Actualización: No sé qué tanto le moví a la configuración que pudo guardar mi sesión Si alguien sabe cómo solucionarlo por favor díganme 🙏 Actualización: tuve que moverle las cookies y opciones de seguridad para que se quedara la sesión abierta
