2 Amazon echo dots for £74.98. Straight up, no codes.
£44.99 each, add two and £15 is taken off I your basket!

This will probably go stone cold but hey, mine are dispatched and I payed by PayPal so I don't care.
You could chance some codes but we all know how well they usually work with Very.

We find them very useful.
I love the fact that I can just tell it to connect to my home cinema, and then play music straight from Amazon Prime Music.
We listen to the news on it whilst still in bed in the morning.
My wife asks for her schedule etc.
We use it for it kitchen timers.
The to do is our shopping list.
Yes.... You could do some of these things on your phone /tablet, but you can now do these things whilst for example getting ready in the morning.
For physically able people, they are a benefit, not a necessity.
They are however really beneficial for disabled people.
My autistic son would never set alarms, but he will tell the dot to set an alarm.
Additionally he tells it to play music to help him to sleep, and tells it to turn off after x minutes.
As he sleeps so poorly, he finds it difficult to get up in the morning... As I lie in my own bed, I can start to play music in his bedroom to wake him up.
As for my mother who has very bad arthritis, she absolutely loves them. We bought one for her as a present, but she bought another, and a full sized Echo within days.
She uses it as her alarm.
As she finds it very difficult to turn over in bed to see the clock if she wakes up, she now no longer needs to, she just asks the time.
She listens to music as she goes to sleep, and can listen if she wakes up in the night, all without having to struggle.
In her living room we connected the dot to her Bose, and again without having to struggle to walk/ bend to put cds in, she has access to thousands of songs, just by speaking.
As time goes on, I wouldn't be surprised if she looks at light control etc.
I think they will become even more useful over time.

You can change the 'command' word (I think there's about 4 that will work, including 'Echo', as the command, but you have to select one in the app).

Listening to your every word? Like the microphone on your phone? What's the difference...? You can just unplug it if your that paranoid.

Absolutely.
Most of us probably have plenty other devices capable (phones, tablets, laptops, quite possibly the TV ...) of listening in to us if they want to. This is just another one for the pile.
I got one during the black Friday sale. Just out of curiosity. They're OK. The more home automation you have, the more useful I suspect you'd find it. I have it hooked into my heating system and it works well enough, albeit at a fairly basic level. I need to set up some IFTTT for it, then it should get a whole lot more useful.
Does anyone really *need* it? No. Of course not. But is it nice to have .... yeah, pretty much.

Every piece of technology you have that is connected to the web can can listen in. Phones, laptops, PCs, Tablets. Lots of people cover the camera on their equipment because it can be activated remotely. If somebody wants to look at me through mine then hell, let me know and I'll make it more interesting for you. Think I'd just be flattered :-)
And if somebody actually wants to listen to me through any of this stuff, then I may just have to divorce the wife and marry them instead :-)

He/she has a point though... expect to see some legal wranglings over this. In fact I think there are already similar concerns / allegations of these devices "listening in" looking at news reports recently.

19 Dec 161#42
No they are not.Amazon are using dubious wording about the £15 off when you buy 2. You are in fact only getting £5 off the current price when you buy 2 from them.

These are good, better value than the full size version although it's better to connect them to an external speaker via cable or blue tooth
Reminds me of when mobile phones first came out, I swore I would never get one yet Iv'e had loads of them
You know it makes sense
