super convenient. I sue it more than a dozen times a day
I literally u this more than a dozen times a day.
It has some new home networking features, such as Matter, over previous models. I don’t really use the new features because I only have a half dozen automation devices but it will grow with me. (or more likely because of the great trade in privileges, I will just keep upgrading whether I need to or not. I try to be frugal on most devices like tv, laptops and desktop , but amazon trade ins when stacked with discounts make so I wind up trading things inn all the time.
The screen is the perfect size for me, doesn’t take up too much room on the desk or nightstand, but big enough to see clearly. I experimented with the 10 inch size during one of the generation changes, but it wasn’t good for my life style and home furnishings so I am back at the size I prefer.
Sound it a little better, more 3D like, but this is no comparison to a soundbar (but it CAN be linked to a soundbar or bluetooth speaker). The alexa voice is a BIG differnce, more lifelike. When I got the new echo show, I compared it to the old echo show. I thought that alexa resided in the cloud and the voices would be exactly the same, but the new voice is more lifelike and actually has natural language cadence. It’s the same camera. I don’t care one bit if it is off to the right like the previous generation, or it is in the center like it is now.

Definitely worth it
These are pretty cool. We use them for my kids room, our bathroom and my parents use in their kitchen. They work well in all locations. The moisture in the bathroom has not created any issues and I get it steamy a lot. The volume and sound quality are great for the price and there is no more delay than any other electronic. I am able to get it to connect to our receiver to stream to the speakers in the bathroom for improved sound. The video is what I was looking for and itâs been knocked off the counter a few times and still works great. For the cost this is a great product that I will most likely buy more of. The features are great and being able to see your answers you would normally ask Alexa on the screen is a game changer on occasions. I highly recommend buying if you are looking for an upgrade to the dots.

Picked up the Echo Show 8 3rd generation in the US in March because it took pretty much a year to be released in Canada. Hugely better than the second generation. Significantly better sound quality for music. Responds much quicker to requests. Works great for viewing the camera for the Blink video doorbell. Love the rotating photo option. My favourite Echo ever.

Es un artÃculo muy estético, elegante y demasiado funcional. La pantalla es muy vistosa, el sonido está de 100. Le puedes agregar fotografÃas de la familia, puedes bajar Spotify, Amazon music y vincular con Netflix. Además puedes comprar enchufes inteligentes y vincularlos para apagar o encender tus aparatos. Es increÃble todo lo que puede hacer. Estoy muy feliz y próximamente compraré la Alexa más grande. La recomiendo 1000 %
