Love this device... wish I could watch cable DVR on it. We had an original Amazon Echo in the kitchen. Tiny... plugged into a socket...done! It wasn't very loud, and had a crappy speaker, but I figured it was good for turning things on/off, basic stuff. So when the annual sales came around, I saw a deal on this thing. Compared it to other devices...the smaller, rounded ones, even the larger Show... this one is perfect! It's nestled inbetween things against the wall on the counter - didn't think it would look good mounted. It's for the kitchen. When cooking, I can watch some channels, even Amazon Prime video. Too bad it won't connect to our Verizon DVR - need a larger Echo Show for that, apparently! But it's got a fast response, can get very loud, and so far, the WiFi has been decent.Not sure how to limit pictures of things I've been searching using my Amazon account, though! Sometimes, I don't want my wife to see the gifts for her that I'm investigating! This thing gives it away. Probably a setting to fix that. Once we get the AI up to ChatGPT-level, you'll be able to have full-blown conversations!A plus.. we have an ARLO camera system. Until this, we'd only been able to view them via the app. I can simply say, "Ziggy," - yeah, we named it Ziggy - "show me the Front Door.." and voila, the Front Door appears! That's very handy for checking when someone's at the door and we're in the kitchen. Like all the other Alexa devices, this one does the same things, and has other features, like gestures..which I tried, but didn't figure out how to use yet. Mostly, we use it to turn the multiple WiFi-based Kasa devices I have in the kitchen - LED under-cabinet lights, color-changing, and overhead lighting. It's pretty durable.. and the basic stand works well. It doesn't take up much room, which is a plus, but the screen is very clear, and bright! And...it's the best sound I've ever heard from an Alexa device. It's definitely changed the kitchen experience for us!
A Smart Display for Everyday Use. I love my Echo Show 8! The screen is the perfect size for video calls, watching recipes while cooking, and controlling my smart home devices. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, music playback is great, and Alexa makes everything super convenient. The camera cover is a nice privacy feature too. My only small gripe is that the screen could be a bit brighter, but overall, it’s a fantastic, fun, and smart display that fits perfectly into my daily routine! Quick response to questions.
