Far better than products from Google and Apple

Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2021

Colour Name: Glacier WhiteVerified Purchase

My Echo Show 8 2nd Generation stopped working after only one month when the device froze on the last background nature scene. An upgrade from Amazon fixed the problem and my Echo Shoe 8 2nd Generation is now working fine.

Amazon's Alexa assistant and Amazon Music work together beautifully, and are far superior to anything Google provides with its Nest Hubs. I have two 7-inch Google Nest Hubs for their lovely pictures and the clock time but they are hopeless when it comes to convenience when playing music on request.

I bought the Apple Homepod Mini to play classical music from Idagio and it is a complete dud because it only works with Apple's more recent operating systems. My Mac OS "Sierra" system is dated 2017, and will not work with Apple's Homepod Mini. I cannot upgrade my Mac OS because I will lose applications that I need. I might as well throw the Apple product in the trash bin. Still on this point, I should mention that Amazon's Alexa is a far better assistant than Apple's Siri.

I strongly recommend the Amazon Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5 2nd Generation if music playing on request, popular or classical, is important. These Amazon products are far superior in functionality to anything offered by Google or Apple.

Limited functionality in Australie

Reviewed in Australia on 31 October 2021

Colour Name: CharcoalVerified Purchase

Obviously made for the US market but has very limited functionality in the Australian market. I bought it for the ability to show recipes while I am cooking but it is virtually useless for that purpose as none of the recipe skills work in the Australian market. In a nutshell - complete waste of time.

A huge dip in quality compared to the other Echo products

Reviewed in Australia on 17 September 2021

Colour Name: CharcoalVerified Purchase

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.

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

Reviewed in Australia on 16 September 2021

Colour Name: CharcoalVerified Purchase

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.

User interface needs work

Reviewed in Australia on 6 November 2021

Colour Name: CharcoalVerified Purchase

I wanted to use this device to act as an aux pass through for a Samsung M7 speaker, only to find this version deleted the 3.5mm port. Ok, I'll use the USB port with a dongle - but no, that port is only for maintenance. Even the brain dead iPhone gives you an alternative! FFS Then I tried to use it to run multiple timers at once for cooking, only to find there is no way to keep the timers on screen. I find that it often misses the verbal "computer" cue unless I exaggerate the pause between computer and whatever command I am giving. Please give us a way to stop it going back to ads and hints and other rubbish. (Yes I know there is a workaround but just allow a simple command to stay on the current screen, be it timers, smart device control or whatever. Also, please for the love of god give us a way to see the list of songs in a Spotify playlist and make choices out of the upcoming songs. Seems to be a great device let down by a crappy interface. On the up side, some of the skills are good, sound seems good and I like the look of the unit. Still deciding whether I should return it or keep it.

Best smart display+speaker. value for money

Reviewed in Australia on 23 August 2021

Colour Name: CharcoalVerified Purchase

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.

I was undecided about whether to buy but so glad I did. Great sound, use it in bed to watch Netflix rather than my phone. Definitely wouldn’t go any smaller in screen size. Immediately bought a second one for my son for Xmas
