What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Price: At $129.99, the Echo Show 8 certainly isn’t the cheapest smart display around.
  • No Dolby processing: Unlike the screenless Amazon Echo, the Echo Show 8 doesn’t offer Dolby processing.
  • No Zigbee: And unlike the Echo Show 10, the Echo Show 8 doesn’t have a Zigbee radio. It doesn’t function as a hub for Zigbee smart home devices.

Bottom Line

Whether you want to listen to music, watch movies, or even get a recipe for delicious chocolate cookies, this eight-inch touchscreen from Amazon does it all. It even gives you access to Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant, which has over 100,000 skills to choose from.
