There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My reason for purchasing this Echo show 8 was for personal use. I prefer it over the echo dot; when I became aware of the sale for a refurbished version, I was skeptical at first because of the reviews; However, I found them to be wrong, or at least constrained to their own experience. The reason as to why is because when I received mine, I found it incredibly easy to set up. I logged into my account, provided the code for 2fac-auth and was greeted by Alexa, whom had given me a tutorial of how to navigate and use the device. My smart home was instantly connected and i began to use it as all my other echo devices. Audio quality for the echo show 8 is superior to the echo dot and you are, as always, given equalizer settings. I had to update it, as expected, and was given new device settings like custom photo uploads for the home.
Conclusion, i have owned and experienced and echo show 8 before. My purchase of the refurbished version of this device was normal and i did not have a bad experience. Updates are normal, and are necessary to maintain optimal performance. Safe, secure, and efficient. 5 stars.

The 8-inch HD display is crisp and clear, making it easy to see recipes, watch videos, and make video calls. The Alexa voice control is highly responsive and works flawlessly, even from across the room. It also has a built-in camera and microphone, allowing me to video chat with family and friends hands-free.
One of the standout features of the Echo Show 8 is its sound quality. The dual stereo speakers deliver clear, room-filling sound, and the bass is surprisingly punchy for its size. I use it to stream music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and it never fails to impress.
The device also integrates seamlessly with my other smart home devices, making it easy to control my lights, thermostat, and security system with voice commands.
Overall, I highly recommend the Echo Show 8 to anyone looking for a budget-friendly smart display with exceptional performance. It's a fantastic addition to any home, and the refurbished option makes it an even more affordable choice.
