It stop working after one month

Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2021

Colour Name: Glacier WhiteVerified Purchase

My Echo Show 5 - 2nd Generation worked perfectly so I bought the larger Echo Show 8 - 2nd Generation; but this Echo Show 8 stopped working after only one month when the device froze on the last background nature scene. After restarting, the background nature pictures changed for about five minutes and then my Echo Show 8 froze again on the last nature scene, making this Amazon device useless. I have read on Amazon customer forums that this freezing of the Amazon Echo Show is a common problem.

I was contacted by Amazon representative Chandrasekhar on 24 July 2021, and was told that the problem with my frozen Echo Show 8 - 2nd Generation was a software problem and that Amazon was working on a software update which could take "coming months" to fix. At the end of August 2021, my Echo Show 8 announced a software update, but after installing it, the nature scene froze again after about 5 minutes operation. I have had no contact from Amazon asking whether my Echo Show 8 - 2nd Generation is working after the software update. I find this disappointing because I have been an Amazon customer since 2003 who has bought many hundreds of items from Amazon.

Since the Echo Show 8 was not working, I mothballed it and bought a Google Nest Hub with a 7-inch screen for the same price as the Echo Show 5. The Google machine has a superb picture and it is easier to use with finger swipes than the Amazon models.

A huge dip in quality compared to the other Echo products

The voice recognition on this device is incredibly frustrating. Compared to our other Echo Dot Gen3 devices it pales in comparison and frequently fails to pick up triggers or commands. It also has an extremely frustrating differences with other Echo voice commands, where things like "alexa, stop" will not stop the media or music playing. The hands-free video selection process is painful compared to something like Siri on AppleTV. Also continually frustrating to open up any app like Zoom as the voice commands are inconsistent, like getting a 50/50 result for "alexa, open zoom" being opening the app or a voice command asking me to holler out a Zoom ID.

Best smart display+speaker. value for money

Best out of all the smart displays and speakers. Hits the sweet spot with 8 inch screen. Sound quality is amazing. First time exploring the Amazon/alexa ecosystem, am suprised by how advanced and useful Alexa skills and routines are. Use for headlines, news, music/podcasts, calender, zoom meetings are excellent (camera follows you around!), sometimes youtube (is harder to navigate to it). amazon things like prime video and audible also integrated excellently.

Handy if you live on your own or don't like to share

I thought I would replace my Apple HomePod mini in the Dining area with this device as the screen seemed really cool but because Amazon doesn't enable Amazon Households in Australia it is very limited - with the HomePod we could have four adults using their phones but unless you log into the one amazon account you are limited with this device.

sound quality is OK,
alexa response is quick
touch screen is slow most of the time, I guess the main processor is not that high spec, because of the price, you can only use low spec CPU, but it is OK, as most of the time I am using alex voice recognition.
screen quality is good.
for the price I paid, it is a good product from amazon
