Very good 👍
This is my first experience with Alexa and I'm loving it. Lots of good things to say about the echo show 8; good sound quality, voice recognition is perfect, the camera quality is also very good. You can connect to other cameras around the house and "drop in" on the alexa app. You could watch movies on Amazon, Netflix, and even YouTube on the echo show 8.

Echo show
Love this. Sound is really good. Loud enough when I'm in the kitchen. Wish it had more apps but hopefuly in time it will. I bought a separate stand for it as it doesn't come with one. All in all happy with my purchase

Echo Show 8
I'm pleased with this Echo show device, I purchased in place of the Echo show 5. The screen is larger, the sounds are a huge deference also. I feel it was worth part exchanging the Echo 5 for the Echo show 8. It is definitely an upgrade from the Echo show 5

Is this better than previous gen echo 8?
I have the previous show 8 ( and 5) and a fairly integrated smart home. I used my previous echo 8 for both traditional and Smart Control.As a result of expanding security I wanted a second 8 in a different location. I thereforeTook the opportunity to purchase the latest versionFirst the size and look is similar to the previous version (camera position buttons and shape of back different) but I think it looks goodThe stereo separation is not great but good enough for background music. However The sound is surprisingly good for the price and acts well as a focus speaker in a room- I’m using mine with two stereo pairs of dots. POV it’s about time Alexa released stereo with centre channel capabilities, if this were available it would act as great centre speakerIt’s certainly big enough to show all of your favourite smart applications and vidsfunctionality is very close to the previous version, and the sound is slightly different but IMO neither better nor worseThings I don’t like so much is clock display choices is not as good as the 5 as the 8 (previous and new gen’s) don’t have the option to just show a simple large clock when on standbyA really annoying change is that both 8 gens have magnetic bases for attaching a stand or wall Mount but the shape is different so they areNot interchangeable- possibly only an annoyance if like me you are upgrading and want to use existing wall mount !Finally do I think it’s value for money? Yes, depending on what you want to use it for. The functionality is good when used as a smartHome controller and As a small monitor and general background speaker it functions wellAlso.I think it as good or better than the other well known smart assistants out there, however don’t buy at regular price as these like most other Alexa devices are frequently on offer- buy it then and it’s a steal.I would definitely recommend, but only if on offer

Great purchase
My daughter loves her Alexa and has it plugged in all the time. She loves asking it questions and playing her music and even plays some of the games on it.The screen is a really good size and the graphics are good too.

Love it!
I previously had an echo show 5 - horrible and a waste of money. As soon as I received the echo 8, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I was right. The best upgrade ever, screen is big, connectivity is perfect and super fast. Love it. Got a white one as it matches with my furniture. It looks so chic!

Great little addition to any room.
Gotta love the Amazon show. This is my 3rd one and I can say I’m not disappointed. The sound is superb, we use it to blast either the radio or Spotify. It controls the telly the lights,doorbell,cctv and the washing machine. Video calling is a breeze. The auto off feature is good. great price to get when they have a sale (which is quite often).
