The Alexa Show 8 is the perfect companion to your smart home system. I use it with my ring doorbell as well as a combination of smart light bulbs and plugs. It has good sound quality with a deep base. The 8-inch touch screen is very clear. You can use voice commands and the touch screen to navigate through your devices. It includes a 13-megapixel camera, which can be covered by a slider switch. I use my Echo Show to make hands free calls, listen to music and watch video clips. The home screen shows local daily forecast and current time. I am hooked on it. I have recommended the Alexa Show to my family, friends, and neighbors.

Setup and connection were simple but Alexa installation and setup with Ring door bell was a little complicated and worked only for a week but have not debugged it to fix it. Sound is amazing and has good bass a treble. Setting up with Spotify was not straightforward and although sometimes I can control Spotify from iPhone 15, there is no option specifically for Spotify in any menus. Hope this gets fixed in future software upgrade.

It is amazing how much value Amazon packs into the Echo Show. Sound quality is good and you can play music or other contents at all locations with one stream, meaning a clean transition from room to room.

The Echo Show's biggest fault is with the content it displays. To set it up to your liking requires turning off dozens of options, such as sports scores, weather, shopping suggestions, etc. I would love to be able to toggle all content off and turn on the few items I want rather than opting out of dozens of them.

Even with the content turned off the Echo will decide to show Alexa hints or sponsored messages from "Dismiss". I set my units to night mode from 22:00 to 21:59, meaning all content should be held but even so, when give a command the Echo will display Alexa hints followed by ads. It will light up a dark room for several minutes as it flashes ads on and off.

One other issue is a feature called Picture in Picture, or PiP, which displays secondary content in a small window rather than pre-empting what is displayed. When my Ring doorbells announce motion has been detected the Ring video displays and then shrinks, yielding to a screen showing a bird on a twig with a message advising motion was detected. There does not appear to be a way to fix this. Tapping on the PiP display is supposed to turn on a larger display but it does not do so. Besides, how do you tap a screen ten feet away when you are in bed?

The Echo Show is one of the neatest gadgets I have seen in years. The flawed Ring integration is a problem for us but I have found some work-arounds. Amazon's penchant for displaying ads and unrequested content is another matter.

I was not aware when I bought three Echo Shows that we would be hosting three advertising machines. It cheapens an otherwise excellent device and it does not exactly endear me to Amazon.

First of all I'm am a Alexa fanatic. I tell everyone about them and all the lovely features. I gave this Alexa as a house warming gift for my cousin and he loved it. It's very easy to use and has lots of different things to help you throughout the day. The screen is a nice size and the sound is nice and loud. The price wasn't too bad either. I love the alexa and so far have lifted quite a few to different family members. As well as told them about several of the features and how if you have multiple of these you can use them as an intercom system throughout your home like I do. Especially since I have a few different types of Alexa, Alexa add-ons and tvs from their brand. So I if I "announce" something it rings everywhere. Also so many rountines you can set individually for each person and dont get me started on hownu can sync all the speakers together and the music you play from there will play everywhere if you request to do so. I love Alexa so much I call her my sister girl lol. I wish I could be some sort of ambassador for them.

The spatial audio feature is a standout, providing a rich, room-filling sound that enhances music, videos, and even Alexa's responses. The smart home hub integration is seamless, allowing me to control my devices effortlessly with voice commands. The 8-inch display is vibrant and responsive, making it perfect for video calls, watching shows, or following recipes in the kitchen. Alexa's capabilities continue to impress, from managing my calendar to answering questions quickly.
This device is a fantastic blend of functionality and entertainment, making it a must-have for any smart home.

We’ve had our previous Echo Show for nearly ten years and this has been a huge improvement! The sound is exceptional and the size of the screen makes everything easy to see! I love that we can adjust the brightness and that it is easy to use for listening to music while I cook and the music sounds incredible! Definitely worth the money!

Ya tenia la segunda generación, esta que es la tercera Gen., mejora el sonido y la percibo mas rapida que la anterior, en lo demas es igual, bastante buen dispositivo este Echo Show 8.

En las fotos se puede observar que puedes acceder a Youtube y a netflix con el comando de Alexa “pon Youtube” al igual que netflix.

Como ounto negativo, diria que la pantalla no es amoled, creo XD. Pero estabdo en mi cuarto en la noche con todo apagado, no molesta su brillo de pantalla, su brillo automático funciona bastante bien!!
