Echo Show 8 HD

Edit: I'll bump this up one star because of the representative's solid attempt to troubleshoot my problems. That was a nice surprise, and one of the suggestions did help, marginally. I have also updated some parts of this review with more recent information. edit 2 (March 9th 2022): I have looked at...

I love the Echo Shows and currently have a 5, 8 and 15 in my house. I plan to purchase an Echo Show 10 and will be on the lookout for similar products in the future. I love the integration with each other and with my other Amazon smart home products (such as the thermostat and ring products). Howeve...

Because this 2nd generation Echo Show 8 defaults to picture in picture mode which cannot be disabled, this renders it unusable for my particular use case. I wish to display security cameras and ring doorbell video feeds by saying... Alexa, show Driveway camera, followed by Alexa, show Front Door cam...

After trying every current generation Echo Show, I finally settled on the Show 15 for my kitchen, the Show 5 for my office desk, and the Show 8 for my nightstand. It works perfectly as my bedside assistant and the screen is just big enough to see the time and my photos clearly across the room. I use...

Bought it for the kitchen (where I already had an Echo Show 5) because I thought the larger screen would make it easier to read recipes as I'm cooking. Somehow it ended up in the bedroom, where I already had an Echo dot (which I use mostly for weather reports in the morning and playing music), so th...

I have to Yell at this to get attention,, never had to do that with my Echo . I also had to turn the equalizer all the way up to make the sound loud. my standard Echo is louder. Easy to set up, but I bought this to use with my Ring Doorbell to view instead of my Cell, and if you ask to see the front...

This is an awesome looking unit! We set it up in the family/theatre room. I now own three Echo Show 5, plus the new Show 8. The OS that runs this Echo Show 8 is slightly different from the 5. The 8 responds much faster than the 5 but there's a glitch that appeared when the 8 received an update about...

This thing is awesome as a speaker, secondary screen for videos and on demand information. It’s quicker than googling something off hand, and has lots of integration with other devices. The only downsides are that its streaming integrations are extremely limited. You can face cam with Alexa and Zoom...

I have a Show 5 and use it on the night stand. I like it, and it has a nice little feature where you can select a bedside clock (from several) to display. I had a plan: Move the 5 to the guest bedroom, and use the larger (i.e. easier to see) 8 in our bedroom. Sadly, the Show 8 does not have availabl...

the 2nd Gen acts like any Echo device, the screen is great and adds to the experience. I have 3 issues with it: 1. Voice recognition is not on par with all other Echo units I have (Original Echo, Echo 2nd Gen, Echo Dot 2, Echo Dot 3. You just need to speak louder and slower. 2. Not all functions can...
