Amazon Echo Show 8 + Ring Video Doorbell 3 Bundle

Well Built Smart Home Device!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Amazon Echo Show 8 is a good smart home device in terms of hardware and decent in terms of software. It is a solid improvement from its Amazon predecessors. I was impressed by the packaging and it was obviously well thought out. There was minimal plastic, no foam and mostly recyclable cardboard. The handles to pull out the cardboard containing the Echo Show were clever, simple and so useful. Hardware: I really wanted a smart home device...

The Best Smart Home Device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very excited to use the Amazon Echo - Show (2nd Generation). It has great features like - Alexa can show you, even more, thanks to an 8-inch HD touchscreen, adaptive color, and stereo speakers that bring entertainment to life. With a 13 MP camera that uses auto-framing to keep you centered, you can make video calls. Stay in the frame - Make video calls with a new camera that automatically frames and centers. Simply ask Alexa to make a p...

it's Alright.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to have this product and it just didn't live up to my expectations. I was bummed that "only those with the app or the echo show" could be video called. I thought because other programs offer Alexa support, maybe those programs would also be able to be used. Especially different types of social media. The app also won't let me view "Live View" which was another reason I was excited to have this product. The most I us...

Endless Possibilities!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was intrigued by the possibilities that this Echo Show 8 offers and decided to try it for myself. I never had one before, so I cannot compare it to older models. But I can say it has a nice large screen, clear picture, and great speaker. I also appreciate that it is easy to get started and use without any prior knowledge of how if works. I find that both kids and adults can easily navigate and operate this device without a problem. For my pu...

Love the Echo Show!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far our family's favorite device. Someone is using it off and on all day, every day. We keep the Echo Show in our kitchen and I use it for music while I cook. My boys use it for watching shows while they eat breakfast and lunch. My boys also ask Alexa questions throughout the day, about the time or using a timer, about the weather, reading the news. We get ideas about what to watch as well. I really like the recipe suggestions! The s...

Brought Alexa back to the House

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I stopped using the Echo stuff a while back but I wanted to try it out again with the newer products so I got this. So far I love it. The sound quality and functions are much better than the older versions I've had before. We love to play music on this and fills the room nicely. It works with all of our existing smart home items. The microphones are great at picking up my voice from pretty much anywhere I am in the room and I love that I can...

Excellent Features, Easy to Set-Up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were super excited to try out the latest generation of the Amazon Echo Show. Set-up was very easy on the device itself but you do need the Alexa app on your phone to finish set up and make more advanced changes, such as add/delete Alexa skills. Many skills are preloaded and you may want to delete some of them if you don't want information unnecessarily shared with vendors you don't trust. We added Skype and the kids were able to easy call...

Great Utility! amazing sound!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Echo show is not exactly a NEW device, but it isn't as common as the echo and the dot in most households. I've had a gen 1 for a few years, as does my mother, so I was excited to test out the Gen 2. It's sleeker and the hardware is a bit more powerful so there isn't as much lag when pulling up apps. The screen looks really nice which is great for video calls. For me, personally, the most important thing is sound quality. The Echo line...

Great smart hub display but room for improvements

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 8" version of the Echo Show works nicely in the living room as a central hub for information, access to Alexa, digital photo album, music player, video player, and more. You can communicate to other Echos or Amazon Alexa apps, whether it's a call or video call or drop in. It's great for watching Amazon Prime Videos if the TV is occupied. Also nice is the screen dims at night. Some room for improvement for the following: 1. The survei...
