- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2025Color: CharcoalConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseThis 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025Color: CharcoalConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseI really like the new larger screen. This replaced my quirky, small Echo Show that was beginning to lag and malfunction. The speaker quality seems much improved, as does the display. I did the setup after ordering and prior to receiving, but not all my settings migrated to this new model. I’m still figuring it out, as there are some differences. Still, I REALLY like all the features: news, weather, photos, shopping, lists, reminders, our camera views on-screen, music, I can ask it to run my robovac, and I even have it set to detect when my dogs bark-I receive a notification and then it plays “dog calming” music, haha. Definitely worth it!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025Color: CharcoalConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseI’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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous device!
Color: CharcoalConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseI’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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful appliance, a few annoyances
Color: CharcoalConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseWe 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.
