The Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Generation) Reviewed || The Best All-Around?

Amazing video!!!!! Brian, this has been the most helpful video for our family that you have made! You mentioned the ability to see recipes and then add them to a cart. I did some quick research and the Tasty app pairs with walmart groceries. If you have Walmart grocery delivery, that means recipe prep is sooooo easy! This will save our family so much time. This was such a small detail, but so great!!! Keep up the amazing content :)

This Guy Rocks, gives you all of the details and clearly explains it, compares it and breaks things down in a very thorough fashion. I am impressed, Great Job Man! The Best out there on this and the show 10. I still have a bit of question on transferring files out from video and camera. Ill watch yours again in more detail, thanks man, you really covered things.

Brian, with your outstanding expertise, you could easily manage Consumer Reports! Thanks!

Thanks Brian. Great insight . One quick question, I’m thinking of connecting this product to ring stick cam . Hope this connects and more importantly, once connected, can I keep the eco show live on all night , to keep an eye on my baby. Or will it shut down after sometime ? Can this products be a good replacement for a baby monitor. Thanks mate

Thank so much. You video is great you've explains so much about Echo 8. My son gave me Echo 8 for Christmas (still in the box) Im sorry for such a long question its a bit complicated for me to understand Echo. Akexa etc but I have 2 doors each hardwired with old style doorbells that were installed when the home was built 50 years ago and both doorbells ring from one doorbell Chime box that sits high up on a wall. It only rings (no camera/no video to outside) I live on a corner lot therefore have 2 outter doors and ppl come ringing both doorbells or pound loudly either doors. It be nice to view from my new Echo Show 8 and if I remove old doorbells replaced with Ring hardwire doorbells. Idk if they work or not? My local electronics store has on sale "Ring" doorbells hardwire $59. Since I need qty 2 and I know how to remove and replace my old doorbells hardwired with 2 small wires but if I purchase 2 new "Ring" doorbells/camera/video will they even work and operate on a home that was hardwired 50 yrs ago to the homes electrical wired old doorbells on two doors but only uses one chime box for each doorbell. "Ring" $59 each or "Ring and "Chime" @ $79 ea. I think the "Chime" plugs into an 'AC outlet inside my house? So may not need the $79 ones ? My thought is to purchase 2 "Ring doorbell/camera 'hardwire' type, one for each door. But what I dont understand is since both doors current doorbells are hardwired to the old doorbell chime box up on the wall will it interupt disrupt or not ring at all anymore if I install Ring hardwire doorbells and use Echo Show 8 and cell phone notifications. Perhaps 'Ring doorbells may not work at all ? Should I buy Ring at all ? Best Buy Qyestions and Answers state "Ring doorbell hardwire" works with Echo Show 8

I have the 1st gen model. That is enough for me. But it is good to hear the differences. Thanks.

Brian,as always another great vid',can you help me with the viewing of up to 4 cameras on Echo show 8?I have asked this on .FB group pages and people say it works for them,but no such luck for me...btw i have 4 Wyze cams and i am from Canada if that makes a difference...cheers!

i really hope the person detection being a trigger for show 8 works with show 10 too.

I like these that much I have got three One in each of my rooms They are the ideal size if you have a stick up camera or a Amazon doorbell Also you can link your phone to it And if your mobile goes off you can answer it on them Without having to remember where you left your mobile And one of the other reasons that it does lot of other cool things as well

6:05 what is that output jack on the right next to the power jack(left) called? my PC couldn't connect via bluetooth to the ES8(2nd gen) and use it as an external speaker but my PC can connect to airpods, smart TV, so i'm trying to see if i can connect a wire(cable) from the ES8 my my PC.

Should I get echo show 8 1st gen or show 8 2nd gen if I barely use camera? Mainly for music, YouTube and stuff like asking alexa what's the capital of etc

Yet another great review, Brian. I have a couple of 5's, a new 10, and a 1st edition 8 here. I didn't want to spend more during Prime day, but will likely be watching for the next round of discounts for the new Echo 8. Even though the Echo 8 has Sidewalk capability, it doesn't have LoRa like the Echo Show 10 and a couple of the Ring devices have...at least that's what I've read. Because of YoLink, I don't need additional LoRa capability, but I'm curious about what Amazon intends to do with it. Thanks again!!!

Stuck between purchasing the Amazon show 8 or Google nest 7! Have you tried them both in comparison? Ty

What’s that word game at the start of the video? Those tiles look like they have been lifted from Words With Friends!

Is there a way to move the clock from the lower right corner, Echo 8 -2nd gen?

I tried connecting to my Show 8 2nd Gen for a video call via the Alexa app on my Samsung Note 8 using LTE. On the Show 8 it shows someone is connected but on the cell it does not connect. Does anyone know if the home router needs port forwarding opened.?

My 1st Gen Show 8 just bricked so rather than replacing it I went with a 2nd Gen refurb. for $79 after watching your video. Thanks.

Echo show is cool,great review for the echo.👍

I like my Echo Show 10. I can sing along with the words on the screen

My sister and I both have Echo Show 8. We got them to be able to video call. We find that the picture constantly freezes and the sound is delayed. Is this the fault of the device or internet connection or something else? Help!
