Amazon Echo Show Deals & Offers

Just saw on an American tech site that Amazon US are doing a deal where you can buy one get one free. Makes this deal look crap.

£76.49 good price https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/echo-show-8-7649-from-ebay-3486343

Still not analog clock face.

For how much if you don't mind, thanks!

Hot for the code - I used it to buy the Show 8

When you say ‘basically the same price as the 8’ you are literally miles away. The Show 8 can be picked up most of the time for £59.99, so no competition really.

I actually did and some reason it came back without. I've just tried to edit again.

Not voting as this isn’t about the price. Got one. Wouldn’t recommend. Picture frame and egg timer is all it’s really used for. And it’s so glitchy - the timer fails to make a sound about half the time. And the video linking is awful. The news headlines are always 48 hours out out date. Feels like they’ve not invested in it. Amazon acknowledged it might be a faulty one and offered a woeful 15% off a replacement, despite it being only 16 months old.

Amazon practically give away the 8 inch version, so it's a real shame they can't do better on these especially with a twin pack! Personally the Hue light bulbs don't sweeten the deal as I've got GU10 fittings throughout my house except in my cupboard where there's not much demand for a smart bulb! I do already have one of these and would totally get another one over the 8 inch version if Amazon would give us 50% off as with the 8 inch (that's a reasonable in exchange for our privacy), but fat chance of that as Bezos has mouths to feed (his own mainly!)

Might be worth specifying they are 10" in the title. People might be voting cold thinking these are 8". I haven't voted either way

Just get fire hd 10 and put in show mode or am I wrong

I'm surprised this is (so) cold. It is a deal on Amazon's flagship device - which incorporates the ZigBee hub for linking with all those smart-things ... as well as better audio and a bigger better screen than the little ones. Perhaps I should vote cold because it isn't Google!

I bought one of these about 2 weeks ago same price on Amazon. I replaced my old echo 1. However deeply unimpressed. I was hoping to put things on the screen like BBC news feed some RSS feeds weather search Spotify using the screen but for me it is just a glorified clock! Amazon really needs to step up or mine is going to CEX and I will go back to a standard echo.

It’s mentioned above, you just link it to your ring account on the Alexa app and add the skill. Then you just say “Alexa show me the front door”

Please share how this can be set up.

For £59.99 this is great BUT you can grab 8 inch Fire for same sometimes. The Show doesn’t support iPlayer, Netflix etc whereas Fire works with everything AND can be put into Show mode too. I keep my Show in the kitchen for easy watching of Prime content while I’m cooking

How

I will once you stop being weird (lol)

You need to get a life

You are so weird

They are going all out to hoover up our data and movements. Every tech company is giving away data gathering and surveillance products, often with cheap credit offers to get your payment details. Once facial recognition comes of age it's going to be interesting who controls who.

It was involuntary with frustration ;)

The Echo 8 speaker sound quality should be more comparable to the larger echo show, the the echo show 8 has 10W per channel, and dual 2-inch speakers with passive bass. Screen res is the same as the larger Echo show, with a 2 inch smaller screen which should make it a lot crisper.

C'mon guys, awful deal, worse time to post it, but first post, be kind...

If the 8 sounds as good as the 5 ... then it is dreadful, the worst sounding Echo device I have come across ... so far (and I have 7 of them)

Awful deal. Cold from me. Second hand, old model, more expensive than latest models. What is there to like?

LOL, seriously?

OOS Now !

Hi, when was this model £50?

Free click& collect

plus £3.99 postage

That was the show 5

Thanks, with the Google hub max you can only use your voice to request songs on Spotify and you can't request your own playlists to be played ! I've ordered one but thinking of cancelling the order if the Amazon show could this function

I haven't tried the Spotify skill but actually the touch screen and video are under utilised on the Echo Show so most likely it will be voice navigation only! The fact that Amazon like to practically give away Echo Dots doesn't really help matters but maybe now that the 5 inch Show is so affordable we might see more video skills. Or more likely Amazon will put the prices back up now that Black Friday is over and keep plugging the screenless Echos!

Hi, can you scroll through your Spotify playlists and search for song on Spotify by using the touchscreen on the Amazon echo show 2nd gen?

I had this and the 8 inch in my basket but couldnt justify the £100

I know for sure my missus would use the screen, I need something that compares to a sonos really. I'll bow to the lady I reckon and get the Echo Show. Best of both worlds.

I find Alexa lost with out screen , and this is a TV as well with Amazon Prime Video .

Anyone recommend this over the new Echo Studio? I need better sound but the pull of also having a screen.... Hmmmm. What do you all think?

£159.99 New on last Prime Day (did post but it was downvoted) https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/echo-show-15999-through-alexa-say-alexa-what-are-my-deals-3262636

What do you think the price of these will be on amazon on black friday?

😁😁😁😁 genuine too!

You mean real made up reasons :p

😁 we all know, you are probably the one rejecting my deals based on fabricated or stupid reasons :D

I'm already in charge (lol)

(lol) (lol) (lol) On it!

We have two since they first came out & no problems with either. If it's a bit noisy in the kitchen where one is then it needs a second shout out to it sometimes but to be expected, but bedroom one is fine. Never had issues with any flickering.

Can these be side loaded with APKs like fire devices?

"not 99p"

I have had one for a long time and it’s never had issues but I do feel it is going backwards it doesn’t seem to have learnt anything much while is getting worse ie amazon video use to be watch xxxx and it would continue where you left off now it opens the shows folder and you have to navigate the series and episodes with your finger (and maybe voice). It knows where I got to so why doesn’t it default and let me override. just my experience over the years as when I got it YouTube was a thing. As a smart speak it does it’s job but there are many other options while as screen I find myself using my phone it’s easier and normally as quick with more options.

What are people using for? I can’t see a use without YouTube etc seems like an expensive alarm clock. But I am still tempted lol

Absolutely!

This is a real bonus that actually double the value of the code!

Sad. Anyway that was fun experience :)

way too late mate. ended 22nd november for new submissions. we're hoping theres a new promotion next month.

yay! submitted yet another Chuck Norris Facts Alexa skill (it's never enough of chuck norris facts!) :) hope they send me my precious Echo! :)

I've got 2 of these and a show 5. My choice would be the gen 1 as the latest one may have a nicer screen blah, blah but its microphone sucks so you end up having to repeat stuff. yes, they're bulky but they really are better if you actually want to speak to alexa and have her respond.

screen faulty here, hardly used, not abused... ebay'd replacement...

Shame. Sounds like a bad one. I've got 3. Did have one of the screens go faulty. I like the sound of these a lot. Unless you go up to a Sonos One or Home Max not found a better sounding speaker. Admittedly not heard the Echo Show 2 which I'm sure is bigger but I've just got the new Nest Hub Max and even Vs the size to cost of the older models I'm impressed.

I have no problem with any except this screen model which creaks .

Which ones? I've got the Echo gen 2 and Echo Plus gen 1 and all distortion or change music balance at above 7-8.

nice one (y)

Completed test drive on Tuesday of this week and received my Echo Show 5 today!

Thanks for the tip off! Booked my test drive for last Tuesday and received the Amazon Echo Show 5 today :D

Thanks for that tip Chanchi. I went to JL today with my receipt and they honored it giving me the difference on each bundle.

On the prime day i got a bunch of amazon speakers/displays. Must say that the large one is quite good - big display and works as a hub and sound quality is great. But thus small one - not so much. I have one in a bedroom and I actually have to turn it away at night since the display is too bright even in the lowest setting to have a good night sleep. Might keep it in office but the display is an issue for a bedroom.

Got one here had for about 2 years now and really do love it but screen burn is an issue though..

I have one of these. Love it!

Dupe https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/echo-show-15999-through-alexa-say-alexa-what-are-my-deals-3262636

Yes... i did have the echo dot &music offer earlier in the year (which i cancelled) but other than that, don't know why it won't work.. Thanks anyway :) .

I take it that you are a prime member?

This is what I got with the link I posted:

Thanks... is this the screen you had? Is it just that it's £7.99 after the trial?? Sorry- and thanks (y)

Anyone else finding the Echo Show 5 cannot understand you as well as previous devices? I believe it only has 2 mics when the older dveices had upto 7 mics

Got my show and neos camera set up, one slight niggle was i kept getting a message saying cant discover device on alexa app however if i closed alexa app and re opened it the camera was listed under my devices, i found it straightforward all in all no longer than 10 minutes and the neos app isnt in my opinion over intrusive and the quality of the camera is really good for what it cost

Finally got it working , in the Alex at the very end it tries to detect the camera after it sort of gives you the impression it’s already done that. (Maybe that’s just me). Anyway it found it this time and it worked on Alexa. But now when I use the app it is very intermittent, sometimes it comes on then other time it’s says “ try reconnecting’ or words to that effect. First impression not very good. However echo show is good it’s just the camera is pants

Can't you have the Show displaying the Ring door cam 24/7 if someone wanted to set it up like that? Or does it automatically back out of the app, after a period of inactivity?

Thanks for your reply. Still useful then. Mine will be for an elderly relative who will appreciate that functionality

The sound from the 2nd gen show is far batter than another other echo device.

It automatically goes into sleep mode of nobodyvis in the room. Just a black screen with a clock.

Still not sure if I'd make full use of one of these.

Is there now a way for the screen to automatically sleep and turn off when you're not using it? That was the only thing holding me back in the early days

What’s the sound like? I’ve got the newish small echo (not the plus, not the original one, I’ve got the 6” one in walnut) in the bedroom, I’d like to know what the sound is like on that vs the echo show (the ones that’s £100 off for a refurb at the mo)
