Any comments on how this version compares to the 2nd gen 10.2 Echo Show and/or the Echo Show 8?

I bought a "used - good" one from Woot about a week ago. When I got it, it looked like new....not a scratch on it. It works just fine for me. I have one of the Echo Show 10" and a few of the Echo Show 1st gen (7"). The 10" one is better but at $45, these are actually pretty good if you don't mind the smaller screen.

Dumb question: what do you use these for (what are their main purpose)?

And is it Android based & can it be rooted. I think it would make a great 'toilet TV' (if that's possible) - haha.

Weather and kitchen timer. It's connected to my cameras but I don't view it from the echo. I also play music from it as I have amazon music. Mostly kitchen timer though.

I bought one of these about 6 months ago from Woot. They work, but don't expect it to last. Speaker failed on mine after a few months and they offer no support. Ended up just buying the Echo Show 8 and Show 5. Much better experience with the newer models

My main uses are the usual Alexa requests and commands (smart plugs, lights, etc.), photo frame, music (you can set up a group of speakers) and watching live tv and recordings through the Amazon Recast DVR. The photo frame function will display photos from Amazon Photos. If you have Amazon Prime you can upload all your photos to Amazon Photos. And if you later drop Amazon Prime, those photos that you've previously uploaded will still display on the Echo Show. I don't think it works with Google Photos though.

It sucks that you can't play YouTube videos on it anymore. Only reason I haven't replaced my dot and echo with this one. It does look good tho.

Yes definitely if they are the pictures from your Amazon Prime Photos (unlimited storage with Prime), I do this on an Echo Show

When I bought mine more than a year ago from Woot it looked brand new as well. It appeared that they just took the outer sleeve off and shipped it as if it were used. It still works well.
