Okay, so I finally got this power cord after my original one mysteriously vanished during my chaotic move. Gotta say, it works perfectly for my Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)! No fuss, just plug and play.
BUT... I saw some wild reviews before buying. One person said their Echo went full glitch mode with this cord? That didn’t happen to me, but now I’m side-eyeing my Alexa like... 'You good, girl?'
The cord length is solid (5 feet), same as OEM, and it feels sturdy. No sparks or scary moments here—unlike that one reviewer who mentioned sparks. Yikes! Maybe they got a lemon?
Delivery was fast, which was a relief because I was tired of staring at my silent Echo like a useless brick. Also, props for the over-voltage protection—I don’t need my apartment turning into a scene from 'Final Destination.'
TL;DR: Works great for me, but read reviews carefully because experiences vary. Would buy again... unless my Echo starts acting possessed.
