    Doesn’t really feel like a bargain when you can get the Echo Show 8 for $59 here.
    I get they are different devices however I’m sure 99% of people will consider the 8 superior.

    • Gen 1 so no, not really

        What exactly are the differences other than the camera is better than the gen 1?

        • Interested to know too, my Echo Spot (A round screen) is really small and looking for an upgrade. The $59 seems to have a bigger screen, should be a better deal?

          • @onomatopoeia: Gen1 is a bit more laggy and camera is worse apparently. I don't think Gen2 is that fast either…
            Having used Echo Show 5 Gen 1 for a while now, it's basically a clock with ability to watch occasional youtube and amazon prime shows.
            I also integrated it with my arlo cameras, but it's not instant and I haven't tweaked with it that much since.
            I don't know what else I can use it for.

            Compared to your echo dot, sound is improved too, more bass.

        • I got Gen 2 echo 5 and was disappointed to find it dropped the 3.5mm headphone jack. Just got the Gen 1 echo 8” from the deal recently posted as it has the headphone jack for plugging in old stereo or powered speakers.

        What? Have you honestly looked at the difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2? They upgraded from a 1mp camera to a 2mp camera and REMOVED the aux port on the back… I think I’d actually prefer the Gen 1 lol

        Both the Gen 1 “Show 8” and Gen 2 “Show 5” use the same processor. They are basically the same device with a better camera, bigger screen and better speakers for $10 less… I thought this was Oz Bargain?

        • It's not a bargain then, the Gen 1 definitely more superior especially the AUX

  • An answer to our sound

  • I have a couple of Gen1, and useful mainly as a glorified bedside clock only and occasional youtube. Got it for less than Echo dot so can't complain.

  • These items monitor you 24/7 but yet we are ok with it.

    • Of course. Who doesnt want to be treated like super star?

    • +3

      Why not? You think you are some celebrity that someone is going to sit there and listen to your house 247? Idgaf if some database wants to listen to what's going on in my house. Targeted ads? yay at least it might show me something I need instead of 'not going single ladies in the area'

      Mine sits in the garage.. 😅

      They have 24/7 re-recordings of Joe Rogan, Tim Dillon and Conservative podcasts.

      What a waste of data.. 🤣

  • Is there some sort of app that I can install onto this to monitor my home while I’m away?
    😬 (trying to justify the purchase to my Mrs)
