It's ok but like all alexa's they sure try to sell you junk you don't want it's like having a sales man in your house very annoying if I want something I know were to get it plus it always wants to sell me junk I would never buy or ever use.

This is not my first echo show 8. I purchased a new one for my mother in 2021. She was very pleased and entertained with the device, as was I. The echo show allows you to watch, listen, and view almost any form of media. When connected to a smart home like mine, it allows for an easy, autonomous controller for the home. Alexa controls my home, it adjusts the temperature, controls lights, and starts my car. It is all connected. Most people are not comfortable with this idea because of security. Amazon has already addressed this and you don't have to worry, there is an adjustable switch to block the camera and two-factor authentication for account log in. I find it secure and have received no alerts of attempted logins from unauthorized devices.

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.

Great Product Supposedly “Refurbished”

When I first unboxed this Echo Show, I had to go back to my Amazon orders. I know I had ordered. “refurb” unit, but this came out of the box brand new, zero signs of use. I expected at least a scuff mark, but no. I found nothing. Perfect, brand new condition. I love the sound and picture quality on this Show. I would recommend refurbished to anyone thinking they have to spend double and buy new.

A Budget-Friendly Smart Display with Stellar Performance

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023

I recently purchased the Certified Refurbished Echo Show 8 and was blown away by its performance. This smart display not only looks sleek on my countertop, but it also delivers top-notch features at a fraction of the cost of other smart displays on the market.

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.

The media could not be loaded.

I ordered this for our new home and boy I couldn’t be happier. The sound and image on this is stellar. I can hear and feel the bass (which I’m a sucker for), It’s audible and clear from across the kitchen, and is really aesthetic.
