## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is Amazon still putting ads on these?**
A: Yes -
There are two options that I know of:
1. set a routine that keeps turning on photo frame which will then eliminate the adds because photo frame is always running - at least most of the time- it runs for 3 hour blocks so you need to set your rountines accordingly.

2. trade in your shows for the new echo five dot which actually provides really good sound (this is what I did).

It is highly disappointing that amazon has decided to put adds on all of their screen devices.  I am a prime member, subscribe to amazon music premium and spend a silly amount on their other products.  I used to highly recommend all amazon devices because even if they came out glitchy, amazon normally did a great job fixing the issues (and fast).  However, since this add push is getting more and more obtrusive, I have been pulling away from amazon.  We are inundated with adds every where, but to force adds on products even when you are not using the produce like the shows or fire tvs (screen saver now shows full screen adds) that are in every room of the house is simply not appropriate and is bad innovation for the sake of profit.  They are going to lose customers because of this.  guaranteed.

**Q: Anyone used a ggmm battery base? i heard you can use the echo show 8 wirelessly with that, is that true? annoying mess of cables…**
A: I've used the GGMM ES8 battery base for about two weeks, and a full charge can last 8 hours or more. I often move Alexa to a place where there is no outlet and put it in the kitchen to easily watch Youtube cooking tips videos.

**Q: Does the ring stick up cam work with the show?**
A: Yes it does. I have 4 Ring cams. 3 outside stick-up cams and a doorbell cam. and it works great.

**Q: I purchased 2nd gen echo 8 on prime day. is ggmm es8 battery suitable for the second generation?**
A: Yes, it applies to 1&2 generations. Other battery holders don't look good, but I love this GGMM ES8, it's chic, I even bought two more for my family at the prime deal, 20% off now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING PRODUCT
*by J***N on September 7, 2025*

Absolutely love all the capabilities and functionality of my Amazon Show!Seamlessly intertwined with my home security system and other home automation. Connected with phone some simple voice commands perform many functions. I am able to control and do so many things by saying a simple statement, such as I'm going to bed, and my house is alarmed, doors locked, alarms set, lights turned off, etc completely autonomous.Amazing! Has helped my daily functionality and staying on task tremendously!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are on the fence… Please read. (Updated: JUNE 2022)
*by V***D on June 9, 2021*

Before ordering this one I already an echo show 8”, first gen. I was about to buy another one when I got an add saying that I could pre-order a second gen. I could not find a good comparison anywhere so I asked myself, should I pay 20$ more for an unknown. I did and spoiler alert, it is worth it, kinda.Positives:- The new camera features are great. The camera can track you and center you for video calls, real time, and it does it accurately.- Speaking of the camera, the camera upgrade is insane. Went from 1MP to 13MP.- The processor is supposed to be much more powerful. Looking at the new camera features, understanding where you are in a group of people and tracking you accordingly, it is noticeable. However, given that a lot of the actions on the device are web based, there is not a huge difference on other apps. The responsiveness of the touchscreen is perhaps a bit better but it was good to begin with.- The unit will go to low power mode when idle, helping you save a penny here and there…- Several privacy features. The stop listening button we have grown used to. The camera can be manually closed shut for privacy. When remote viewing through the show, there is a warning message, etc...Negatives:- Amazon did not learn from their mistakes. Just like with the Show 10”, the power cord is white for every unit, whether the unit is black or white. The camera shutter, is white too.- The 3.5 jack is gone.Other thoughts:The sound quality___One of the items on my wish list for this one was an improved audio quality. The sound quality improved over the previous gen, I think, but I would say its marginal if that, not enough to even be sure it did.The white cord___What I hate the most about my Echo Show 10 is the white cord on a black unit. Since I fell for it with the Show 10 and white would go well with my decor, I preemptively went for a white unit, to eliminate the eyesore, in case Amazon did not learn from their mistakes. To a certain extent, I was secretly hoping the cord would be black so I could swap it with my Show 10” and fix two problems with one move. Nope, its white.Even with a warning from me that it could happen, a friend went for the charcoal one and he is still fuming. So, if you are like me that the white cord on a black unit would drive you crazy, and you are going for it, order the white one.The environment___If you are still on the fence about this one, be aware that 2nd gen uses recycled materials on its manufacturing. To me this is a selling point._____________________________TLDR,1) If you use it a lot for video calls, the improved camera and improved camera features, makes it a worthy upgrade. If this is not your cup of tea, waiting for a prime day sale on a previous gen might be better.2) If having a white cord on a black unit is something that would drive you crazy, get the white one or go for the previous gen.Updated (JUNE2022): It appears that Amazon did learn from their mistakes. Another friend I warned about the cord, told me he didn’t really cared and went for the black one. Well, he got it with a black cord. Given that to me this was the worst negative, I just raised it one star.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From sceptical to IMPRESSED
*by J***N on July 31, 2022*

At first I was a bit apprehensive based on feedback from others and watching several YouTube videos about blah blah blah. So i took the plunge and bought one of these just to test it out and see how it performs as I wanted my own experience to be the judge, and boy oh boy, i am officially impressed.SOUNDThe sound is clean and you would not believe the high volume that is coming out of this device. I have mine set to about a little over quarter and it is just good for everything on a daily basis.SCREENI think the 8 inch screen hits the sweet spot, not too big, not too small. Its clear, the touch response is good so far with no complaints.ALEXADamn, that woman can catch her name every time, all the time. She doesn't miss a beat and she probably misunderstood what we asked her to do but after the basics she is quite capable of executing skills.MY USAGEI have this device connected to my home security cameras (LOREX) and the integration is very good. I can ask Alexa to view different cameras and I'm not disappointed by how she handles requests.The "Drop In" feature is nice as sometimes I check in with my family when I'm not at home.YouTube is functional, in that you have to ask Alexa to open YouTube and then you manually input your choices, Netflix goes through a similar process, but all in all it works and its functional.NOTEI liked it so much that i bought another one for the Kitchen.NOTE 2I found it so useful that i bought 2 for my in-laws to also view their security cameras and YouTube.CONS(1) I'm not a big fan of the split screen keyboard... probably there is a way to adjust it and I probably haven't figured it out as yet.(2) Sometimes the cameras open on screen like a picture in picture and i have to pinch to zoom. It does this sometimes and again its probably a setting i have to adjust.Overall i think this is a very good device based on your use-case and it works well for me.
