    This was so very to install and get running! It does ask a lot of questions on set-up to become more personalized however. The sound quality is great and I love that it shows the time and outside temperature to plan my days. I have two other Alexa devices in the home and they all coordinate notifications. I haven't been able to use this with my Blink doorbell yet (end-user set up issues I suppose hahaha) which would be great once I get that completed. You can ask any question, play music, watch news, order on Amazon and much more which is great when I'm in my office. Very happy with this purchase!

    I’m really impressed with the latest Echo Show. This version is a noticeable upgrade from previous models, especially when it comes to sound quality. The audio is rich, full, and surprisingly powerful for a device of its size—perfect for playing music, podcasts, or even using as a speaker while watching videos or video calling.

    One of my favorite new features is the facial recognition. It adds a personalized touch that makes the device feel smarter and more responsive. It automatically adjusts to who’s using it, bringing up relevant info like calendars, reminders, and news, which is super convenient, especially in a busy household.

    The display is crisp and responsive, and Alexa continues to be a reliable and helpful assistant throughout the day. Whether it’s controlling smart home devices, checking the weather, or making video calls, the Echo Show handles it all smoothly.

    At this price point, it’s a fantastic value for everything it offers. Whether you’re upgrading from an older Echo or trying one for the first time, this is a solid buy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add both functionality and style to their smart home setup!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Smart Display for Home Control and Entertainment
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2024

    I recently bought my Amazon Echo Show 8 and here are my thoughts in terms of its pros and cons:

    It is a versatile smart display that offers excellent balance between size, functionality, and price. With its 8-inch HD screen, decent audio quality, and Alexa capabilities, it makes an ideal choice for both entertainment and smart home control. Here’s a closer look at the pros and cons of the Echo Show 8, particularly focusing on its smart home integration features.

    ### Pros

    1. **Crisp Display**: The 8-inch HD screen is a great size for viewing content, checking recipes, and video calling. The screen is clear and responsive, making it easy to navigate.

    2. **Decent Audio Quality**: It has better speakers than smaller Echo devices. Its sound quality is suitable for listening to music, podcasts, and watching videos with reasonable bass and clarity.

    3. **Alexa Capabilities**: With Alexa, the Echo Show 8 can manage reminders, answer questions, play music, and control smart home devices. Alexa responds quickly to voice commands and is always improving.

    4. **Smart Home Integration**: It integrates well with a wide range of smart home devices. It can control lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more. The screen makes it easy to view live feeds from compatible cameras, such as Ring doorbells, giving you real-time control over your home’s security.

    5. **Video Calling**: The 13 MP camera allows for clear video calling, with features such as auto-framing that keeps you centered in the shot as you move. It works with Alexa-to-Alexa calling and supports Skype and Zoom.

    6. **Privacy Controls**: Amazon includes privacy features, including a physical shutter to cover the camera and options to manage microphone and camera permissions, which is reassuring for privacy-conscious users.

    ### Cons

    1. **Screen Resolution**: While the display is HD, it’s not as sharp as some high-end tablets or competing smart displays. Some users may find it adequate for the price, but others may wish for a higher resolution.

    2. **Limited App Compatibility**: The Echo Show 8 supports streaming from platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Netflix, but it lacks native support for some other popular services, like Disney+.

    3. **Occasional Lag**: Some users have reported occasional lag with certain features or apps. While it performs well for most tasks, the Echo Show 8 can feel slightly sluggish with more intensive usage.

    4. **Heavy Amazon Ecosystem**: It is very much tied into the Amazon ecosystem, so users who aren’t invested in Alexa or Amazon services may find some limitations in their experience.

    ### Smart Home Integration

    The Echo Show 8 really shines when it comes to smart home integration. Through Alexa, the device can connect to a broad array of smart home gadgets, including lights, plugs, cameras, and locks from popular brands like Philips Hue, Ring, TP-Link, and more. The screen enables unique capabilities, such as monitoring video feeds or managing device groups (e.g., turning off all lights in one room with a single command). Additionally, Alexa routines allow you to automate complex tasks across multiple devices, making it easy to personalize your home automation.

    ### Verdict

    The Amazon Echo Show 8 is a strong choice for anyone looking to add a smart display to their home. It’s reasonably priced, offers solid performance, and integrates well with most smart home systems. While it’s not without its drawbacks, particularly regarding screen resolution and app limitations, the device remains a valuable addition to a connected home. Whether you’re new to smart displays or looking to upgrade, the Echo Show 8 offers a great balance of features and value.

    I’m absolutely loving my Alexa, I have the echo show 8 in glacier white. I have the original 2018 HomePods that I’ve been using since 2018 and they just have let me down repeatedly. Apple hasn’t really added anything new at all nor have they continued innovating the HomePod line like Amazon has with their various echo “Alexa” enabled devices. I cost ask my HomePods much without it telling me I can’t, but Alexa on the other hand has an answer for pretty much everything and that is soooo much better to have around.

    The sound quality of the device is actually amazing. Having only ever used apples HomePod and seeing the quality of friends and family’s older echos and google homes, I always thought HomePod was the top. But echo show 8 is literally on par with a HomePod. It truly lives up to the “spatial audio” name.

    The screen quality is actually pretty good for being a basic screen. It’s overall pretty responsive to the point it’s not annoying to use.

    The built in camera quality is pretty good as well! Only thing it suffers with is being placed in direct sunlight. But when positioned correctly it’s a pretty good picture quality.

    The built in smarts of Alexa are way beyond what I’m use too. I purchased a fire tv 4K max as well and have found out that you can control the entire thing hands free, and not just basic on/off, find X…show. But you can ask Alexa to scroll left/right/down/up and ask her to select items onscreen. I can be all nice a cozy in my blanket wrapped up and get Alexa to click the next episode button for me…… worth the price of all of it right there! Siri could never!

    I’m impressed with Alexa and absolutely cannot wait for Alexa+ to make it even better.

    Bought to connect Auso doorbell camera. Works well. Syncs with amazon account to give updates, weather and other useful info. Too screen size. Better than the echo 5.

    We had an earlier version "Echo" in a bedroom and decided to add this one in the kitchen, replacing a Google Assistant device. (Google Assistant seemed to need a lot of re-sets, was pretty non-intuitive, and couldn't be relied on.). It's great for the usual features like finding information and keeping time. It connects to our "Ring" doorbell and shows who's at the front door. It shows our family pictures. It plays music with pretty good fidelity. It keeps shopping lists (and other lists) and displays them on the screen. All that's great, but you have to put up with the annoyances of advertising and suggestions of things we should use it for, reminders that, in the end, we're not altogether in control of it.
