Why is this a good deal?
To begin with, the brand-new version of the Echo Show 8 costs a whopping $150. However, you can get this model for just $60 without sacrificing much performance, as it still retains all of its core capabilities. And the best part? You save more than half off the original price, making it one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen, just like on Prime Day.
Why do I need this?
The Echo Show 8 features a compact and crisp 8-inch display, making it ideal for your kitchen counter or desk. With built-in Alexa, it also serves as a mini entertainment hub. You can access videos, TV shows, movies, and news from Prime Video, Hulu, NBC, and more. Additionally, you can listen to internet radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks via Amazon Music, Spotify, and Audible.
It’s also a handy cooking companion, allowing you to ask Alexa for step-by-step instructions on various recipes. You even get access to Food Network Kitchen. This little device will truly surprise you with its extensive capabilities.
What reviewers say
“…The app was easy to set up and understand. Every day I learn something new that Echo can do. The screen quality is good. … So far have used it to check on the weather each day, play a couple of short games. Listen to national news from CBS…”
Another reviewer mentioned, “…One feature that has pleasantly surprised me is the Amazon Photos integration. Turning the home screen into a digital frame for my favorite photos has brought a personal touch to the device. The adaptive color technology ensures that my cherished memories look stunning, no matter the lighting conditions….”
Many users find it fantastic for video chats via Skype and Zoom, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. One satisfied shopper shared, “My mom was failing at Zoom and Skype. I set the Show up for her and practiced a couple of times. She can initiate a call to us with no issues. I think the larger size and dedicated functions were the turning point for her. Wish we bought it sooner!”
