The Echo Show 8 is a really great smart display to pick up for a few reasons. But primarily because it has a really great size display. Coming in at 8-inches, it’s not going to be too big to put on a desk, in the kitchen or even in the living room on a table. And it’s still big enough to watch videos on. It’s a good idea to put the Echo Show 8 in the kitchen, as you’re going to be able to use it to follow recipes, or simply watch a video while you’re cooking. Using Alexa for recipes is a really great idea, and it makes it a whole lot easier with a display that you can control with your voice. So you don’t need to clean your hands every time you want to touch the Echo Show 8. The Echo Show 8 has Alexa built-in, so you can also stream music, get your daily news briefing and much more. But you also have the ability to control your smart home devices through the Echo Show 8. Which is really nice. Instead of having to result to only use your voice to adjust your lights and such, you can use the touch screen on the Echo Show 8.
