Amazon Echo Show 8 Review: Third time’s the charm Score Details DT Editors' Choice “Not too big, but not too small, Amazon has an absolute gem with the Echo Show 8.” Incredible value at $130 Size is perfect for any space Simple, on-device setup Strong audio performance Lacks YouTube integration If Goldilocks were to somehow stumble into Amazon’s headquarters, she probably wouldn’t have an affinity for either the 10-inch Echo Show or Echo Show 5. One’s just too big, while the other would be too small. She’d probably prefer something just in the middle. Something like the Amazon Echo Show 8.
