Well, I had been looking at Google Home, after previously thinking..."Why do I want a talking assistant when I have my phone?" This was only a few months ago.

Then came along Prime........
...Then came the thought, should I get Echo? or maybe dip my toes in with 1 DOT for £35...£35 half a night out or a good takeaway (with all the trimmings)
...........then came along someone mentioning a Code on one of these posts.......yeah a code!....How those codes seduce me into feeling good about spending cash........a code for 3 DOT's.....but why would I need 3??
I tried to convince myself......Living Room.....Kitchen.....Bedroom......OK sounds good as saves walking to a particular room to try it out.

FAST FORWARD......less than 6 hours from Prime with the clock on a few mins to midnight I have got..
2x Black DOT's (blends in), 1x White Dot (for a window sill in kitchen..blends in (hopefully condensation won't wreck it)

Oh....but no.......I'm consummed, cos now I got the 3 Colour Philips Hue Starter kit coming..........Almost £200 spent!!!

Who am I to think a £35 toe dip would end well, when I'm surrounded by equally crazy folk on a shopping forum...

So now I need to hide it all from the Mrs.

Soon as she leaves the house it will be Alexa, Disco light time.......Just hope the neighbours don't tell the Mrs, evertime she leaves for work the music goes on..lights go red..and ya fella next door keeps shouting Alexa at top of his voice!!!

Right am off to bed, long nightshift and when I wake up the Amazon Pixies should be at my door......Addios all who read this far........ :o/

Yes but my info wasn't fake :wink:

There must be an echo in here.

Blimey, can everyone PLEASE stop saying "echo". It's getting repetitive and annoying.

After the dot, so good price. Just a thought will price go down on Prime Now as there is a £10 of £40 spend?

Might have to get soother echo for that price

Can someone link it please

Sounds pretty incredible prices.... Too good to be true?
Would it be rude to ask where you got this info?

I'm calling this a great deal

I also expect this perfectly legitimate deal to get hot AF.

(ninja)

hot! gonna grab the echo

Nothing off the fire tv?

Blimey, can everyone PLEASE stop saying "echo". It's getting repetitive and annoying.

I absolutely believe 100% that the Echo will be at £79.99 come 6pm :smile::D:D

Can anyone tell me the difference between the echo and the echo dot please. Thanks

The echo deal was on Saturday. It already ended but I suppose it might come back up again for prime day

Fire tablet & firestick with Alexa.... perfect for me

Where you found about these deals?

Voting cold. No proof, just random list of prices. Im now off to post a deal about rocking horse sh*t .....2 bags for £5 in Homebase.....my mate Dave said he knows a guy on the inside who is related to a leprechaun, who wants had a beer with a guy who owns a rocking horse company who is doing a secret breeding programme......sigh!

How did you get these prices???

it makes sense there will be reductions, just nothing is official yet, but maybe it will be when the prime day starts

List was posted to ' 10 ways to have more money' in Facebook and linked to another money saving site.....

I have and still wasn't quite sure

no idea why this hasn't been moved to misc as its not confirmed like other posts like this one.

I can believe £15 off an echo dot but £70 off an Echo?? Even when they launched them at an introductory price they were still £99. We shall see at 6pm

Iv got the dot. The difference between the echo is it has a full power speaker built in to it. The dot only has a small speaker built in, think of like a phone speaker, which should really be paired up with a separate Bluetooth speaker. Overall, the functionality is just the same so depends if you want a stand alone speaker or one built in

That's not very helpful now, is it?

The consensus is that the built in speaker to the echo isn't that hot anyway, so save your cash and go for the echo dot. Then connect by bluetooth to your main, decent speaker setup. Bluetooth adapters are so cheap now it's a no brainer....

I think it's going to happen. There's a few websites advertising the same. It's also worth noting that the Echo Show was released in the US on June 28th, so a UK release will be expected soon. Amazon are going to start wanting to push these out as much as they can, what with the competition from Google (Home) and the imminent release of Apple's own product.

Any chance of Hue Go and Hue Bloom going on sale or is there no way to know? :man:

Is the Dot mains operated?

These deals do match with this post on TechRadar: http://www.techradar.com/news/amazon-prime-day-2017

No proof pure speculation so good job now expired

Newbie question are Prime Day deals also available on Prime Now?
Can I get the prime day deal and also use the £10 of £40 spend on prime now?

I don't think the bigger echo has an aux out or bluetooth out, so you are stuck playing through the built in speaker. Based on this the dot is more useful to most.

Thank you for taking the time and explaining :smiley:

If i were to purchase a Fire 8" today and its reduced in the sale what are Amazon like for refunding the difference?

Very true, I prefer the Dots (I have two of them) and they each connect to a powerful speaker in the respected rooms. Very useful!

Quick question: Is it still possible to use a new email to create a new account just to activate prime-trial for prime day tomorrow ???

It wouldn't surprise me if it was "confirmed" by this thread!

But isnt his for App only?

Let's hope the echo is reduced I fancy one now :sunglasses:

ok, so to the people saying the deals are fake or made up. It was just before I went to bed I posted them and they were being reported on a couple of sites then, so I posted what I saw, but they are now being posted as confirmed on various news sites such as

BOOOOM in ya face nay sayers strong

I guess £79.99 seemed too cheap for an Echo, until one realises they've not been updated since launch, and Amazon are using Prime Day to get rid of a lot of old stock very quickly.

Note it is only bluetooth in one direction. Eg, you can play your phone through the echo, but you can't send the signal to you home hifi, AV amp or similar. Basically with the big echo, you must use the built in speaker, no other options.

Got a £1000 hi-fi set up? get the echo dot then pick your connection option :smiley:

I do *really* fancy getting another echo or two ( I already have 4 dots and an echo :smiley: ) but that price is very cheap..> I wonder if an improved unit is around the corner?

So "Amazon Prime Day" is a basically sale that you have to pay to get access to, right? :wink:

Some great prices there, heat added

Its being updated so it has 2 way bluetooth like the smaller DOT, but there is no point buying it if you are going to use your hi-fi instead of the built in speaker, save cash and go for the DOT :smiley:
https://www.cnet.com/uk/news/you-can-finally-connect-the-amazon-echo-with-bluetooth-speakers/

can I use Dot or Echo to control my receiver Denon AVR2300 (switch on and off, volume and source cobtrol and etc.)?

Software updates come out from time to time though, bluetooth out recently appeared although hardly exciting and should have been a feature from the start!
https://www.cnet.com/uk/news/you-can-finally-connect-the-amazon-echo-with-bluetooth-speakers/

Ah -i didn't know about the update, fair play!

Does anyone know or think any good deals on Now TV boxes and bundles are likely as part of prime day or lightening deals? I know they used to do this but not sure if they stopped to push their own fire tv products? Really wanting a cheap entertainment pass to catch GOT season 7, which starts soon....

Kind of off track a little, but I wonder if John Lewis will price match Amazon's Echo price of £79.99 (if it actually happens), as John Lewis have a 2 year warranty on it...

Interested in getting a Kindle. Does anyone know whether it will be redshirt?

The Verge are confirming the Echo prices: https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/10/15946532/amazon-prime-day-deals-echo-price-cut

Debating whether it's worth waiting for Prime Day deals or use the 20% warehouse offer to get a cheap netbook...

No, you buy a physical product yesterday for example , price goes down with prim day deal today, you speak to amazon customer service and ask if they will honour special offer price , they advise no and to return product you have already received and re order at the reduced prime rate, this has happened to me on a couple of occasions now , so if you want to avoid a bit of hassle just wait and buy at the prime day price.

I've got prime, but never used the music/video side of. If I buy this, will it stream all the music from amazon? Or do I need to pay again?

Ok. Where is that pic from?

Good point, thanks :smile:

Adobe photoshop .com

Where the hell can I see the items that I selected to watch?

I'm after GU 10 starter kit. Does anyone know how I can get it & more bulbs with the 30% off, showing £149 which I think is the regular price

Some of the upcoming deals in the Express newspaper.

http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/826707/Amazon-Prime-Day-deals-Amazon-Echo

Most of the media reporting it online so it looks like its £70 off

There seems to be a lot of speculation on many different sites. Personally, I don't think that any Prime Day deals should be posted until the start time.

Tempted to try out these speaker assistants.

Looking into them, I prob would prefer google as it uses google search engine rather than Bing.

However, how good is the dot speaker?
I would prefer to have whichever device (Google, Echo, Dot) to be on all the time, rather than having to switch them on, as that breaks up the spur of the moment flow to asking a quick question. If I'm to do that I can just get my phone out.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6. Would the speaker in the Dot be similar sound to a phone?
Was thinking if the Dot is low power, to get one for the kitchen, as it's small and could sit on a window sill.

I already have a JBL 3 Bluetooth speaker, so not in need for a fully blown speaker. However would get the Echo, if the Dot sound is really poor.

Like I said, would prob prefer Google. But I don't have any music on Google. But with Amazon, I have Prime, so the music.

A tough choice. Any help please reply :0)

I'm frantically researching home vs echo at the minute to see if I'll get one, but from what I've already gathered I don't think the dot has a speaker other than for Alexa.

EDIT: Please see below, I'm clearly talking nonsense lol

I have the Dot, it's not a high quality speaker but good enough to listen to music in the kitchen and living room :smile:

In addition, if you are going to make a megathread, at least make sure the links take me to that deal....

Overall sound stage is slightly better with DOT. Placing it on a wooden surface improves the audio quality a tiny bit.

How do you see your Watching List?

Cheers, it appears only way you can do it on desktop is by downloading their Chrome app

I am too, just finished night shift, so will have to go sleep for a few hours and set alarm to see what they got, though apart from the big stuff, reminds me of a big jumble sale or TK Max, where you spend hours searching and walk out with a pair of socks or an egg cup (ya know what I mean)

Anyhow, currently watching https://youtu.be/Z723dnRDO_c
Which shows a new device, called Amazon Show. So wonder if they are clearing out stock. For a number of reasons;
They can bring in the Show at a similar price point
£70 Off undercuts Google so tempts people towards Amazon
With Apple announcing a new one, they have Echo 2 in the pipeline to compete some more.

Considering all my own options. As much as I like the fuzzy feeling of knowing I have a bigger discount, so Echo would make me feel more fuzzy inside. Wonder if it may be worth dipping my toes in with the cheapest version, being the Dot. That way I can test it all out and dig deeper on version 2's and the next wave of smart assistants.

Lol, just end up waffling to myself whilst talking. That's why I love these forums as like minded people to talk with. The Mrs would just nod her head and become confused and say "Do you really need one?"
I need my technology/bargain fix.....so yeah...but no....but yeah!

Anyways, if anyone has some good advice or pointers, drop me a shout out, as need a few hours sleep cos head butting my iPad typing this, as I slowly nod off.

Thanks for listening if ya got this far, hopefully a few of us will drop on the EchoSystem (ha) together and share our experiances and tips. Still would prefer Google (as would find some use for the Chrome I bought), but looks like Amazon may get my cash first.

See ya all in a few hours for the sale :0)

@Jawz

From someone who has had a Home and a Echo and a Dot, if the Echo is £79.00, I'd get one of those.

Apple Homepod - Stupid name, and not out yet. Plus £££
Google Home - UK lags waaaay behind the US model featureset. Also, still no reminders or BT.
Amazon Echo - £80 is a good price. Better mic than Google Home. Speaker not great for £150, but fine for £80.
Amazon Dot - The brains of the operation. If you have existing speakers, it's a no brainer. Just be aware the speakers will need to be on in order to get any response. Also be aware lots of BT speakers have auto shutoff features.

Also, never underestimate how terrible it is having to say Hey/OK Google every time you want to make a command. Alexa is just much nicer to say.

Thank you very much & yes I'm in a similar position. If the only difference between them is the larger speaker, I will indeed get the the dot and link it to my existing speaker set up (or heck, probably just use an x-mini or something). It could be a great entry to this type of product. Can't go wrong with the 99p for 4 months Amazon music either. 4 months will be enough time to test it, and see if I like and want to upgrade, or put it in the draw and never see it again. In fact, 4 months takes us up to black friday....

The Echo Dot has a speaker so if your Bluetooth speaker is off, or doing something else, you can still hear Alexa.

just signed up for free prime membership, all because of the echo dot :laughing:

for people who have the echo, how does it work if I wanted the dot to play bbc 5live via the tuneinradio feature?

I'm not getting conned into buying something like I don't want or need like the Dot.

Good try though. :laughing:

"Alexa, play [radio station] on TuneIn."

Complete list of Alexa commands here:

https://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/amazon-echo-the-complete-list-of-alexa-commands/

Try amazon.co.uk - now thats helpful.

I have an Echo Dot in the kitchen (which is open plan and linked to the living room). I find it very handy, as I can ask it for the time when I am rushing around getting kids lunches ready in the morning, setting alarms when cooking or adding things to the shopping list when I open the fridge or a cupboard and notice that we need something. Mainly though use it for music - Amazon Music has a decent selection, your purchased music is available (including CDs which have been auto-ripped by Amazon), and you get about 5GB to upload your own. The kids love it, as they can shout "Alexa - play Let it Go" and keeps them entertained for all of two minutes

Very tempted to get one. What a great price and confirmed in a few places too.

I'd like a Roku 3 HD too, but am doubtful they'll be in the Prime deals because of the Fire Stick.

Watch this deal...:wink:

So the Fire Stick is £10 cheaper on a lightning deal at 6pm, can someone explain to me please the difference between Prime Day and Lightning deal and is there a chance it might go down further ?
My first Prime Day
Thanks

Will we be able to buy more than one deal? I'm thinking of buying a few Dots for around the house...

With the 4 months of music for 99p, you can cancel after 4 months? You won't be forced to continue at £7.99 for a year or something?

Sorry for being a pain, but are people 100% sure that the dot will play music through it's speaker as I've just read this

"Built-in speaker for voice feedback when not connected to external speakers. 3.5 mm stereo audio output for use with external speakers (audio cable not included)"

Got my eye on that blackview bv7000 tomorrow

I believe you are correct. I think the port is just to connect it to another speaker rather than using the dot as a speaker. It didn't play from the dot when I tried to play from my phone.

It will play music from Amazon music at the very least. You can ask Alexa to play a song and it will play on the Dot. Crappy quality, as the speaker isn't very good, but it will play music.

Yes, the dot does play music through its own speaker. It's pretty poor quality though.

Do the links on the op work for anyone?

Yes, it will. I use mine daily to stream music from Amazon Prime Music without any external speakers. It will also play radio stations without external speakers (if you install the necessary 'skill').

I'm pretty sure I've used it as a bluetooth speaker for my phone too.

Actually if you make TuneIn your default source for radio broadcasts, it's just Alexa; play BBC Radio 5 Live...

Thinking they're coming out with Echo 2.0?

I'm currently in Italy, 1 hour ahead, so will log on in 1 minute to make a few purchases - will let you know what's there.

Is PS4 Pro going on sale you guys reckon?

WESTMORLAND. O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!

KING. What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmorland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall see this day, and live old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Prime day

taps foot impatiently

I think I'll just wait for the film.

Echo has dropped to 99 Euros on Amazon DE, so looking good for us in the U.K.

Given this is a private members club not open to the general public without paying a £80 fee (£60 temporarily I think or £40 if you are chancer spiv pretending to be a student) should that amount not be added on top of every price ?

The firestick is now €29.99 on amazon de. down €10 but no reduction on the fire tv box. Nvidia shield 16gb is reduced by €20.

What are you on about. The Amazon eu sites started at 6pm local time. I live in France and am also watching across the IT.DE & ES sites which all started 32 mins ago.

Might get Alexa so I don't have to talk to the missus

So lightning deals start at 6pm today even though prime day is 11th jULY?

I think mainly I just don't like the precedent it sets, because Amazon has enough of a monopoly already as it is without charging us all for the privilege.

But I appreciate these things are hard to resist, and if anything decent pops up, I'll probably go for the free trial as yourself and others have suggested.

How much is the Echo where you are please?

Cheers :-)

There is nothing I need or want.

Yet here I am waiting for this nonsense to start (poo)

it's live!

Always said it was legit....*cough*

The Echo is only sold in the UK and Germany . Its €99 in Germany but neither the UK or Germany will send the Echo to other countries. I had to get my folks to send me one to France from the UK.

No fire TV :-(

Unless new offers arrive at midnight the UK has been done over on the Prime Day promos.

The US had $10 credit for watching Prime Video content whilst the rest of Europe had €5. We have had zero.

They also had some Twitch bonuses.

No credit for signing up to Audible trials either this year it seems.

We have both - they both do the same but the sound on the Echo is much better. At £80 it is a great price, we paid almost twice that for the Echo and about £50 for the Dot.

Any views on how good they are please, or are they worth it vs todays Echo price?

Thanks

Correct, they don't have a battery anyway so not really suitable for carrying around the house. But you could have one on each floor when controlling home automation like smart lights to turn them on/off. And I guess on larger houses people might go for 3 or 4 of them depending on the coverage.

A ny good deals on XQD memory cards? Been looking for one for a while now..

Is the Echo worth the £80 if it's primarily used as a music speaker? Great price if so.

Refresh the page, it should appear as place order instead of add into the shopping basket, if not, follow this link here and open the page again. You will not be able to get it until it says Place Order

Ordered the PS+ 15 months. Seems to have gone through ok but when I try to go to my Games Library to get the code it says "temporarily unavailable".

Anyone else getting this?

The main post references "30% off" but I don't know if that's a permanent discount during prime day or a planned lightning deal. Right now you're getting <30% off...

Likewise... means hopefully sell 2 on and get one free! :smile:

Trying to purchase 15 month PSN membership. Got the "place order" button, entered payment details and have now waited 3 minutes on the screen which says "Your order is being processed. Please do not leave this page". Fingers crossed!

True, since it's the same price at John Lewis I can afford to wait anyways.

Never going to happen. Unless you sell locally so not getting stung for eBay/Postage costs.

Any good SSD drives? Please

3 dots and an Anker PowerCore 26800 Portable Charger for £115 :wink:

Probably don't need it but curiosity got the better of me lol

Thanks for the DOT3PACK code

Well crap, I didn't know I could apply that otherwise I would've bought a third one. Amazon aren't letting me cancel either so I might have to contact support to see if they'll do it.

Was hoping the Sony 4K player would be on the deal, along with the Fire 10 tablet. Oh well :disappointed:

Looks like it has changed now to 20% off everything in the warehouse. The last few days they were doing 20% off, but only on selected products.

Usually 1 day a month ebay will have a max of £1 final fees offer, or as you say sell locally, gumtree will be great for something like this

Can you explain briefly how that works if you have one upstairs and one down?

Cheers firestick and 3 dots £114-96 bargain.Was gonna get the Echo but as people have said its only a better speaker.So not worth the extra £57 on my 3 dots at £28-33p each with code DOT3PACK.

You should be able to cancel it at this early stage
Maybe place the new order first with the offer, then cancel the other just to make sure you are getting something before stock runs out.

+1 for DOT3PACK :smile: Also just posted the Sony Bravia deal advertised in the Metro today: Link

Sony PSVR @ Amazon Warehouse Deals for Prime members only £211

Thanks bagged a factory sealed one

I just bought the Firestick and had added an addon item for £2.99, and the system wouldn't recognise teh £10 saving on the firestick until I took off the addon item. Called them up and they said it is a glitch which they are working to fix. Grrrrr

Dot3pack code not working

Edit: don't mind me.

THere's nothing I want. Another echo would be nice but there's rumours of a completely new one very soon.

I got an e-mail saying I can't cancel it because it's already "preparing for dispatch", and talking to support they're saying the same thing. Other people should be careful I guess

Somebody posted a code earlier for discount when buying an Echo and a Dot together (echoanddot) but I can't get it to work. Has anybody else had any success or know a working code? Thanks

...and on that day, eBay will be flooded with Dots :smile:

Do they add more, or is what you see in upcoming everything thats gonna be on offer?

Used my £75 gift card I got from the LV life insurance posted a few months ago, bagged myself a free Amazon Dot in white, which went through at £34.46... Bonus!! :smile:

Bunch o' tat.

\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0aI cancelled at the same stage.

Does anyone know how to access the watch list that was on yesterday? I added a few items to 'prime day watchlist' but cant find them..

Why can't I put the Vue Light deal on my watchlist? I don't see it anywhere as a deal yet even...
Sorry if this is a dumb question :smile:

You could make another order and return the original for refund.

Came back to vote hot as it was correct.
Totally underwhelmed with everything really.
I made two orders with no rush delivery in case I changed my mind and cancelled them both.

Yeah I've had no problem cancelling at this stage before, today was just the first time I got an actual e-mail saying it can't be cancelled


That's what Support suggested, but I physically couldn't order another 3 dots as when I selected 3 it would just put 1 into my cart, and hence I couldn't apply the discount.

Spoke to Support over chat and they eventually told me to just order another 1, tell them the order number and they would try to apply the discount (which they did). Got to love Amazon's customer support

After a fire tv box hope it goes down tomorrow

Any opinions on buying the fire tv stick at 29.99 or wait until black Friday? Is it likely to be reduced further by then?

Definitely the best customer service.

An hour of perusing and all I've ended up with is a paella pan I didn't need. Typical Prime Day for me!

Just been on to CS about it, the tech team are aware of the issue and it's getting fixed within the next couple of hours. Same happened to me with the 3 month xbox live and £10 credit offer.

I was hoping Argos would price match the dot as I have a £15 voucher

Picked up the PSN 15 month deal for £29.99, have added the Sandisk SSD to my watchlist for tomorrow. Tempted by the PS4 Pro but happy with my regular one at the moment.

This is account specific but you get an extra £5 on top ups with gift cards, mine was £70, if you are buying something over your value you might as well get the fiver :wink:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/b/?&node=11301833031&camp=1634&creative=19450

Thanks! Got a few items that were on my list on amazon warehouse (Mercato atlas 150 pasta machine and cooler master u3 notebook cooler) and an anker usb charger hub

Does anyone know if the speaker here will be an improvement on the dot? Or would buying an echo be a better idea (I don't need 2 devices though, more for better sound quality)

What the hell is happening with all these broken quotes on this new layout??

Makes it a right royal pain to read!

Also, there might be more a deal on the Fire TV either tonight or tomorrow, so don't give up home yet. I am also holding out for some Hue deals - just need to wait for the next batch of deals to be announced.

Was feeling blue, so bought an Echo for £70 :confused:, delivery later tonight. Seriously contemplating getting a Dot to ease the pain further, but not able to justify it... yet...

A lot of negative people from the first few pages need to eat there words now and admit they got it wrong

+1
Is this deal any good?

Fire tv please Bob

*whispers into ear*
Go on....its only 35 quid, you won't miss it :smile:
shhhh its okay

The bose and dot sounds soooooo much better than the echo, but not as convenient as needs two power sockets

There are a load of like new psvr for 215 on warehouse now.

Very poor show across compare to last 2 years....

It would be better than the dot but not buy a great deal, I would go for the full size echo for better sound , and a better discount...

Well its £60 more than the speaker so not really a discount :smile: if its worth an extra £60 for the sound quality I'll buy it but if its the same then no point if you see what I mean :smile:

Sorry I should have mentioned I already have the dot

I know its a bit of a leap pricewise, but Amazon are also doing the Bose Soundlink Mini 2 + a Dot for £149.99. Now that is a stonking combination, and the Soundlink sounds fantastic. I have a Sonos setup, and a number of Echos, so I don't need it...... but....... I still want the damn thing!!! You couldn't normally buy the Soundlink alone for that.

Agreed on the sound, but i would say more convenient because the Soundlink is portable, so perfect fo rthe garden, or moving around.

Either way it is a stonking deal.

Which is better, the soundlink mini II or the soundtouch 10? Both are the same price with the dot deal.

The Bose has a fantastic sound, completely at odds with it's size, and it's portable. Stonking deal IMO, and I'm fighting with myself over it at the moment. I bought my daughter one, and now everytime I hear it i want one too.

Trying to post 15 months PS+ for £29.99
Link Here

Bose SoundTouch/SoundLink & Dot for £150, or Echo & 3 Dots for £165 (or one Dot for £115)

What is the better deal here people!? I cannot decide!

I'm currently on a prime membership free trial, but considering staying around & having full membership. However i was hoping for a price reduction of prime membership for Prime Day (cancel trial, & re-sign up at a good price).
....has anybody got any inside knowledge? Will this be something they release at midnight?

Love my dot, use it for streaming audiobooks and music in the kitchen, going to pick up another for upstairs at this price!

Damn, was a topup between echo and Dot.
Now I see the Dot 3 pack and tempted with that.
1 in Kitchen, Living Room connected to surround sound and one in Bedroom. Hopefully the sound will be ok on its own for a bit of light music in the kitchen. No longer a cheap impulse buy as would now be even more.

Might get 2 black and a white one to stick on a window sill in kitchen. Full home integration, rather than a 1 room toy.....ha, trying to sell it to myself. Hopefully the tiny speaker is acceptable for light music. Obv for garden I can attach to my JBL 3 Bluetooth Speaker for more ooomph, or leave Surround running in living room for more immersion or better sound.

Hovering over the Buy Button.....should I do it?.....Lol

Is it me or is the selection pretty naff that amazon is offering?
Unless you are wanting an echo, it's mostly overpriced tat that they are trying to shift.
Was looking at the baby monitor, but the price isn't anything special to me.
Hopefully the next round will be better - but I'm unimpressed so far.

It’s early days, but I’m not seeing the “wow” factor. By comparison in the first hour last year I had over 500 quid in my trolley. This year so far zilch.

I've got both. The soundtouch 10 lives in one place and has goes louder and I like the preset buttons as I can have Spotify playlists and radio assigned to each one however I had this before my dot so that's not needed as much now. My mini moves around the house - garden for bbqs, garage when I'm training, even the bathroom.

Can't really talk to the Soundtouch 10 as don't have one, but when i compared that in store to the Sonos Play 1 they seemed very similar to me. Now I have two play 1s, sub and a 5, but if you gave me a choice of just the play 1 or the Soundlink Mini 2 i would probably go for the Soundlink, as not only is sound excellent but it's portable so perfect for the garden. So, long story short I think I would opt for the Soundlink, but mainly because I would get utility out of it being portable.

Don't think any of them will disappoint soundwise to be fair.

Look at Soundlink Mini 2 + Dot and you will be in even more of a quandary :-) :-)

Soundlink and Dot by a country mile is the better deal.

Must resist the 3 Echo Dot's.... Does anyone know if they will Bluetooth to Sonos? Have a Play Bar, Play 5 and Soundlink Mini.

Hoping the Hue lighting goes on Prime but haven't seen anything.

Beats Studio Wireless:

Amazon "deal price" - £199.99
Groupon - £169

Not everything is a great deal.

Yes, that's what we use. Just say 'Alexa connect to Bluetooth speaker' battery lasts forever on it, used daily charged rarely... Well worth it.

I like the idea of having them in multiple rooms though, Dot in Kitchen, Bedroom, Living room etc..

Anyway to look at the deals in a "Chronological format"? the layout of these deals is horrendous

Get yer cash out and buy this https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/PC-Speakers/Harman-Kardon-Soundsticks-Desktop-Speaker/B003Z XD OMA/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1499713219&sr=1-4&keywords=harman+kardon I managed to pick one up for £79 a few months back bloody fantastic works great with the dot

tbh most bluetooth speakers will not be much of an improvement over the dot... the one you linked is pretty good but still a small speaker....

I made a post yesterday, and it just stripped out all links and links...add to that he link gore in all these threads it's painful to use.

Anyone know if the Amazon Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD is gonna be in the sale?

I ordered an Anker Bluetooth speaker for £30 yesterday. It's now down to £21 and they won't refund the difference. (mad)

:disappointed:

no audible deals this year :disappointed:

Is searching for questions decent? Never really liked Bing.
I like how Google does it and also how it handles additional questions. However, 3 Dots, seems a steal and the fact I already have Amazon Prime and the music, prob seems a decent option at the moment.

Sat here with brain block and need to hoover the house, as promised to the Mrs! Best do an impulse buy, hit the button and see what happens when they arrive and save my brain from hours of googling and watching YouTube vids.........until the next techno piece of kit catches my eye.
Just need a decent light that attaches to the Alexa next, just so I can be easily pleased by dimming the lights every few mins like a child....."Alexa...am I going mad?"

Meh. There really aren't any decent bargains to be had, as expected.

Any sign of a Philips Hue deal?

My new echo has just been delivered :smile: That'll give me something to do while waiting for someone to actually win the Nadal v Muller match.

Unfortunately I've been using Prime Now for a while (great for hungover grocery shopping, or coming back from holiday on a Sunday), so couldn't get the extra £10 discount, but really happy with the £79 price, and delivery in 2 hours!

Can anyone give me advice regarding the Firestick ie does it give me anything I dont have with these

I have .......

Now tv smart box ( and keep getting free offers via chromecast lol)
Netflix
Prime Movies etc

Do printers typically appear in this sale? Couldn't find any that weren't already reduced last week.

Looking for a photo printer, preferably an all in one. Most manufactures offering ~£30 cashback for current models but was waiting for Prime Day before buying.

Canon TS8050 and Epson XP-760 caught my eye last week

have been looking to build a new PC for awhile and decided to wait for prime day. doesn't seem to be many deals for PC parts :disappointed:

Will there be fresh deals tomorrow, or is this it?

I'm not certain how it works, sometimes they're free, sometimes they aren't. I'll give it a go. Ta.

So I'm sure it has been asked before. I'm
After a Bluetooth speaker for the kids so don't want to pay a fortune and was thinking of the Sony SRS-XB10. Is it worth getting a dot instead. Need to play iTunes via Bluetooth though and can't seem to find if the dot will do that

Ordered the echo at 6 :innocent: 0pm, delivered at 8:45pm. Setup and listing to Pink Floyd

New Fire stick (already got the 4K box downstairs), big bottle of Persil, a teething toy and some dettol for £30. Sell the old stick for £20, effectively a free upgrade. Delivered within 2 hours too.

Cheers

https://www.techjunkie.com/itunes-amazon-echo/
Echo Dot is used in the thing, shows how to steam itunes over bluetooth

30% was mentioned in the deal but no chance!

Was setup straight forward?

installed the app on my ipad, 5 minute job

Got the Dot, PSN 15 month deal, and 55" Sony tonight, must try to control myself tomorrow...

Great, because £79.99 is a cracking deal. What does it feel like to have wasted your time writing that post?

Are you still confused at me posting the deal though :wink:

Just confused as to how you got the heads up?! Congrats and cheers for posting though, spot on :laughing:

It was being reported on a couple of sites at about 2.30 this morning, I just happened to be up, saw no one had posted it so popped it on :smile:

Nice choice. Enjoy it.

Does anyone know if the Philips Hue Colour B22 Bayonet Starter kit is in the Prime Day sale?

Caved in and got the SoundTouch 10 with Echo Dot :laughing:

cool, got my night vision goggles with (legit - price not increased 20%) 20% off.

I only went and got:

An Echo

An Echo Dot

A Fire TV Stick

And paid a grand total of £14.97!

N.B. I did use £130 worth of Amazon Gift Cards acquired after taking out two BT Mobile SIM plans though.

Looking forward to receiving them all.

My purchase took about 10 minutes to be added to the balance, the freebie was about 1 minute later

Grrr can't cancel prime now order. Can I reject it? Arriving in 10 min.

It's very simple indeed. Lots of videos on youtube, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpYI_krwK_M

Just snapped up a brand new phantom 4 for £560 result!!

Thanks. Mrs thinks it's a waste of money lol. Will return

Likewise. Mine blew up yesterday....

What are you going to spend all your internet points on?

New deals every 6 hours

I guess ill be the one to say it. Since i've had too much to drink and i'm bitter.

All these deals are rubbish.

Ooooo lets buy cos its £1 off .... no.
Oooo lets wait up until 3 am to buy a t-shirt...... no.

fek amazon.

doesn't get much better than that. Good choice in music too :smiley:

Do we continue on waiting to see if it goes on sale later on? Or is that it...lol! The Philips Hue smart lights £150 are too expensive! :S (:I

Only applies to Prime Now delivery this is postcode specific - prime delivery is different

An amazon echo obviously :smile:

Oh. Good timing. I've heard they are on offer!

Anyone see any decent deals of XQD memory cards? Thanks a lot.

I feel slightly ashamed that I'm excited at the thought of buying an Instant Pot tomorrow. What has life come to.

Many thanks OP. The youngest has been after an echo dot for ages and now he has one. I've got 15 extra months of ps+ and a new firestick. Yay!

Even though I was temped by both Dots, I've resisted.

Will wait for hopefully better deals tomorrow. Keeping my eye on overseas Amazon's too.

I bought 2 of the kids tablets the other day for £129 which are now £89, I'm going to re-order and return them but rather than mess about wiping the old one and setting up the new one, would they know if I just put the new one in the old box and send the new ones back once I get them?

Just got my Amazon Echo, loving it so far! Will have to look up some tips and commands :smile:

Ordered a dot. Was going to order the three of them but tbh I think we will only use the one. If I really like it I may get another one in future when deal is on again.
Now I'm after Phillips hue and some smart heating. Here's hoping :smile:

Dot will play itunes so long as its on a device that has bluetooth, i.e. iPhone, iPad etc will stream audio over bluetooth to the dot

The dot does act as a bluetooth speaker. Source: I just tried it.

Whether the sound quality is good enough depends on what is being listened to and who's listening to it.

of course you can use the dot as a bluetooth speaker. ok its not amazing quality, in fact its similar quality to most phones but the point is you can use it to do that if you wish. Useful for low volume music such as in the kitchen or alarm clock radio etc

Hurry! As deal ends at midnight.

Women being the temptation is slowing being changed to Amazon prime day... hold on me.. hold on dude.. hold on... no no..... not again.. bought :disappointed:

There is a good deal on Amazon Fresh if you use all their offers - I've got £90 worth of stuff for around £20.

Firstly - there is the £10 off £80 spend; but the £80 counts before promotions not after (which is refunded if you spend over £40)

So - take the Prosecco promotion - your basket is nearly at £30 already - but you have only spent £4
Add in some of the 50% off items and some of the cheap £5 off 5 items
Add in the Amazon Wand and get to £80

Use the £10 of £80 spend once your total is at £80 to lower the amount even further.

Great spot, got the baby a gruffalo plush and a dot and still came in At £31.28

Cheers!

Is this using promo codes?

This crossed my mind. However I believe the impulse buyer in us all can be given a push in the right direction with some cracking deals.

I can't complain. IMO amazon really stepped up "prime day" from last year and I've managed to grab several deals, most of which I actually had in mind yesterday! Roll on tomorrow.

Don't understand the popularity of echos and dots. Do people really think it's ok to send all conversations in your house to Amazon?

Actually, that's not how it works either. It works by recording just before the word Alexa so it may pick up a word before it. You can always go on the Alexa app and see the history of your recordings.

Oh dear! £70 Echo just delivered. 20 minutes to buy a Dot for £25! Should I? Do I dare? :confused:

Know of any others like this please? :smiley:

Thanks! just ordered this..

Picked up the Hue bulbs - with the STUDENT10 voucher they were basically half price! Belta

I tried and it worked

I was close to biting with the 43" LG TV being at £379 (369 with student discount) before the price went back up at midnight. Decided to leave it because I didn't have enough time to research the TV properly and make sure it's what I wanted and it turns out it's back on offer at that price, but only until midnight tomorrow night.

The cheeky ****. :laughing:

They all seem to be extended.

It appears Fire tablets also available for extra 24 hours

This is madnessss !!!!

How good is the Echo without actually having prime? Does it become near useless once the prime subscription has ended?

If this is the extent of the Philips Hue sale then I'm pretty disappointed. Got no interest in multi colour light bulbs

Edit: White Ambiance just updated, £50 for Hue + 2 White Ambiance + Dimmer Switch which is a good price

Hi
Its the 6L I want (8L too large)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Instant-Pot-Electric-Pressure-Stainless/dp/B00OP26T4K/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1499728265&sr=1-1&keywords=instant+pot&th=1
The 8L is discounted to £79.95 anyone with a large family this is a good price.
Fantastic product I have used one a few times and would like my own now.

Any nice watches?

Thanks, I'm after the 6L, guess I'll have to keep checking back

I got the larger as my friend who's used them for years pointed out you will struggle to fit a whole chicken in the 6l I do all the time in my 8l

I'm not getting the free delivery (amazon pantry) when adding a prime deal to the basket, any tips?

Shame the fire TV 4k boxes aren't on offer :disappointed:

Does anyone know if the student discount has restrictions please? Trying to order a instapot but discount won't work

Tried it on the echo and dots and didn't work.

Need student prime.
And yeah, these will last for years. I'd guess about a decade. EDIT: Philips quote 15 years

Got the Dot for £24.99 with student code

I would recommend purchasing the palson 8L pressure cooker which is down to £72.95 and I paid a lot more for it! Excellent and does the job. Only 3 left at this price!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/palson-pressure-cooker-8l-LArge/dp/B06XRZKHD9/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1499731430&sr=8-12&keywords=Palson

Had to go for the hue gu10 kit for £89.99. Finally at a price im comfortable enough to pay

Is there anyway for me to get the echo for 70(or cheaper) without having to pay for the prime membership? My account lets me take a 30 day trial, can I cancel it before that expires?

Or via a standard USB adaptor/ battery. I use it in my car powered via the car's USB port, linked to a wifi hotspot and with the sound linked to my car's Aux in. Nothing like the look on my mates' faces when they heard me say 'Alexy, play Katy Perry on Spotify' for the first time! At this price, everyone can have in-car Alexa!

Bought the Logitech Harmony Elite. Will have to buy the Echo now. :smile:

Anyone know why the 'ECHOANDDOT.' code isn't working for me? I have the White Echo and White Dot in my basket

Ah really?, that's a shame. Saw this comment on the first page.

'Special offerAdd 2 Amazon Echo to your basket and save £40 off your order with code ECHO2PACK. Or order 1 Amazon Echo and 1 Echo Dot and save £20 with code ECHOANDDOT.'

too good to be true :disappointed:

Yeah I have a room with 4 GU10 which I would quite like to change to Hue but don't fancy paying £50 for the fourth.

There has to be a way, I ain't done yet

I WANT MY BULBS...NOW!! :wink:

B22 and E27 are £22.49.

Let me know if you find a way..!

Tried to order the Dot using "STUDENT10" code and it keeps saying the code has now expired. Gutted.
Saw it said on orders over £40, so added stuff and still getting the "expired" message.

I think I'll take this as a sign to save my £'s. Sad times.

Have the exact same problems, room with 4 GU10s and the 4th is costing too much. Let me know if you do find a way

Looks like they've paused it for the time being, I bet they didn't intend for people to use it on Prime Day:

"Please note, this promotion has currently been paused - the STUDENT10 code is not currently valid for use at checkout."

Oh ok, struggling a bit.

Brand new to Hue lights, apart from the bridge & bulbs will I need anything else for the lights to work with Alexa?

Nope that's all you need. Pretty easy set up process.

The Echo talks to the Hub, so no.

Cheers knack

Manage to ask a mate if he'd join prime & order another starter kit, so that's 6 bulbs, hopefully I'll be able to get rid of the spare bridge on eBay, going to keep my eyes open though, still need a few more bulbs if I want to kit the whole flat out

Since I got my first Echo it's just been like some crazy addiction with this home automation - what have I started? :confused:

Huh..I thought the Echo deal was stopping at midnight. Guess they have some more left over.

The gu10 starter kit is a really good deal. I was really close to getting the half price e27 as I want a dimmer but resisted.

Was hoping for a 4k TV around £300 but can't seem to find much.

The Hue White Ambiance Starter Kit has to be the best value... under £50...

I wanted the 6L Instant Pot but it isn't discounted. As @alexus said earlier a large Chicken or Med-Large wont fit in 6L though so.....

I bought the 8L for £79.95 (normally £129.95) in the end. https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Pots-Pans/Instant-Litre-Electric-Pressure-Cooker-Brushed-Stainless/B01KHYRHYK/ref=sr_1_1_m?s=prime-day&psr=PDAY&ie=UTF8&qid=1499751774&sr=1-1&keywords=instant+pot

I've cooked on the 6L Instant Pot so am familiar with settings etc, also there is a large, helpful and enthusiastic Instant Pot online community.

I've cooked all the above recipies step by step, also soups and British Indian Restaurant curry base.....all wonderful (even if I say so myself!).

First read about Instant Pot from this BBC article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39058736

Thanks though!

Delonghi Lautissima Touch at £125 is the cheapest it's ever been on Amazon apparently. We've got one and it's a great machine

Any good printer deals yet? Impossible to filter deals easily!!

Sorry, but this is only for prime members, right?
I usually dont buy at amazon and I dont know how much one has to pay to be a prime member. What are the costs? Is there any benefit in beeing a prime member just to buy one thing?

I already have Hive heating/water...should I stick with the Hive bulbs or go for the Hue?! prefer the look of the Hue but any advice from people who already have them would be appreciated.

You're probably better reading Amazon's website, they do a good job of explaining it.

Thanks! No deals though :disappointed:

vitacoco 1l coconut water x6 for £12. cheapest I've seen it in months. steal.

I'd take out the first month free offer (I'm guessing you haven't already) buy the item and read up on whether the £79.99 would be value for you, if is continue, if not cancel.
•You MUST cancel before the 30 days or amazon will charge so do be aware of this (make a calander entry) cancelling is a few clicks.

Ps out of interest what is the item

Very good, wish they had the colour bulbs in that deal

Student discount not working anymore..amazon paused the discount

Nope.. harmony can control way more devices then echo does because it supports nearly all wifi devices and infrared devices regardless they're 'smart' or not. And the the programmability of harmony activity goes well beyond the simple voice command Alexa can handle..

Also echo can't really beat a physical control with touch screen .. when you're sitting in front of your TV you don't always want to yell at Alexa..

Personally I find it useful to program all my activities related to my home cinema system on Harmony then sometimes use Alexa to trigger them when convenient

Harmony and Echo are very good compliment to each other.

Yes same for me too. 3 bulbs isn't really enough, but its a start. Couldn't bring myself to pay for £50 a bulb and don't want to be mixing colour and white bulbs. Will wait until there is a good deal on individual colour gu10 bulbs.

Anyone know how I can use my prime account on the italy site? It says I don't have prime?!

Prime membership is Country specific, you would need Prime Italy

Bulbs are £22.50 on PrimeDay - or buy a kit & sell the router - might work out cheaper.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=gbph_rlm_m-3_804a_efc49061?srs=13756457031&rh=i%3Aspecialty-aps&suppress-ve=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1499702070&field-enc-merchantbin=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=a2b31422-e527-4674-9fa6-5dddb41f804a&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=10157705031&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=5KSJAYYX13T0QD62T5J7

Well i just watched the Samsung MU6400 deal go live and the price went from £598.75 too £639.00 then the deal was applied (it was at £599.75 for the last two weeks).

Price:\x09£639.00
Deal Price:\x09£533.40
You Save:\x09£105.60 (17%)

So it updated at 8am on the dot (when the deal went live) jumped £43 and then they took off £105.60 surely that is price manipulation?

Throwing a different view in, apart from using echo, you have to think about switches. We had Hive in the last house, I put the bulbs in, and after the initial 'fun' wore off, they became a pain. As we didn't have a negative feed at the switch, when someone switched it off, it reset and you couldn't use the app.
The amount of times someone would use the wall switch. I used to get annoyed with using the app and I was a geek.
So definitely worth bearing in mind.

Hi with the echo do you have to be signed up for certain services....like if i ask it to play a certain song etc....or do you take out box and its ready to go? Thanks

Just bought myself an echo and smart bulb, didn't need an echo or smart bulb. Wondering how to break this one to the missus...

If it was the GU10 bulb I would be interested, but only seems to be the bayonet bulbs on that offer.

Alexa works with TuneIn radio and it’s free. Been using that since I got my echo 3months ago

Did they respond / make a statement regarding the Breitbart advertising?

Have you tried asking for 'Listen Without Prejudice Volume One'. I'm sure she's played it for me.

Thanks yep, ammended post

Hi, thanks for reply,
tried Listen Without Prejudice Volume One' and Alexa cant find.
I've searched the Amazon Music app and the album isn't there either

Yeah I just looked too; she must have played it from my collection or something I guess.

Lots of fitness watches on great offers today - fitbit, tomtom, and the Garmin watch I've been waiting for. All posted in the sports/fitness section.

I'm very happy now, having got it for @£45 less than I've seen before, and I've been researching prices for a month :smiley:

Could you use the 10 pound off on multiple transactions?

Agreed, smart bulbs are great in lamps where you don't get that problem but smart switches and much cheaper dumb bulbs are a much better idea for room lights, unfortunately the perfect, no neutral, dimmable solution isn't out there yet.

Hi, can anyone explain how to get £6 credit using the app? Thanks

Gah that frustrating you need an italian billing address to get it.

The Garmin forerunner 235 will definitely work - link Garmin Connect to your Strava account as described here.
https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918057-Uploading-from-a-Garmin-device-?mobile_site=true

You *might* be able to manually input the data from the 35 into your strava account, but I've not looked at it in detail. There are plenty of other garmin watches too that will easily share data, but not on a prime day deal...

Fitbit and tomtom i don't know, you'd have to investigate - but i did get the impression Garmin overall focussed more on strava connectivity than others.

Specialist area, but might tempt a few - Delonghi Bean To Cup 52% off

Are you sure about that I have amazon uk, amazon us and amazon de accounts all using the same billing adress.

Gah that frustrating you need an italian billing address to get it.

Thanks, when I posted the Deals weren't up and links were dead. Went for the Nespresso touch. Bargain.

In what way are they useful? I've watched a few reviews and if I'm understanding correctly they are just voice activation for music and google. Is that right? I'm struggling to see what use it has when it can all be done via phone etc. Or is there another use? If I have a bluetooth speaker already with an iphone connected, is that not the same? I'm lost with these! Thanks.

Sorry you're right that's strange.

Any deals for 250GB+ Internal SSD drives yet?

They are happy for me to return my old ones, they are like new and only 20 days old. I would just prefer to avoid setting the new ones up again for the kids and return the new ones instead but as the old ones for the full refund.

Gah that frustrating you need an italian billing address to get it.

Hoping some passthrough power lines come up

I'm hoping Nvidia Shield come up today. I want an excuse to buy one :smiley:

Gah that frustrating you need an italian billing address to get it.

Free £5 Amazon voucher with the three Wuntu app. Three customers.

Thanks - bit much for me, so hopefully a 250GB deal will come up as well.

Nice one. You should make this as its own deal, great find.

There were just two things I wanted, a Fire TV Box & a new Logitech Harmony & as yet neither has appeared.

I'm not a happy bunny!

I'm hoping for a tefal actifry!

Can anyone please advise if the echo dots are worth buying? I am a prime customer and do listen to music provided. would having a dot benefit me or is it just a gimmick?

Really? I've used mine in America and of all places, India!

Just bagged a few items!
There are actually better deals in the warehouse if you can hunt them out.

Bagged a pair of Sony noise cancelling headphones I had been after. Sony MDR-100ABN:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EANK8ZO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Normally £180 (around £200 a few months ago) - but £160 in the used section - condition 'like new' + additional 20% off - so £128!

Also the Sony 1000X model (top of the range) is under £200 and gets 5 star reviews - normally around £300

Excellent thanks, just added that to my gift card balance!

Thanks me and my wife got £5 each.

Gah that frustrating you need an italian billing address to get it.

I was hoping for a repeat of the harmony ultimate deal for around £85 again TBH. I love my Harmony, but my finances aren't good enough currently to justify more than £100.

Your send key appears to be stuck on this message!!

Honestly mate, the extra £13 over your budget to get the Elite is worth every penny, it's a far better, much more pleasant to use remote.

wow these amazon deals are killing my bank balance lol

there is also the echo dot and bose speaker for £150

That's all the excuse I needed :smiley:

Now just need a petrol lawn mower, maybe a Honda Izy :smiley:

I'm sure there was a deal posted for 3x Amazon Fire Sticks at a further discount. I can't find it (I have tried) could someone please link me to it?

Ok thanks for your help. I dont have a sonos but do have a kitsound blue tooth speaker. - would it connect to that?

Hi Faisal, do you have a link to the Sony 1000x I can't find any for under £200, only £230 unless now all gone? Cheers!

hi, yes it was £240 on Amazon warehouse - but if you have Amazon Prime it will take off 20% at the checkout.

I ordered the Sony 100ABN model - but have now cancelled it!
When I was looking at the prices I noticed that Currys are offering 50% off both models.

So I created a new thread here:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sony-mdr-1000x-noise-cancelling-bluetooth-headphones-discount-code-required-165-2738022

So don't get the Amazon Warehouse model! Go directly to Currys or ask Amazon to price match the offer for the new model.
I am also going to try and get Amazon to price match but can't get on the live chat yet.

This is truly a great offer.

Home delivery only at Currys though

Im torn between this and the 3 colour one!?

With the switch, seems like a great deal. Unsure if to get either
A) Starter + a colour bulb seperate (Bridge + Dimmer + 2x White Bulbs, 1x Colour Bulb Total £71.98)
B) Starter + 2x colour bulbs. Would have to get 1xE27 1xB22 due to limit of one bulb but could get a converter for other bulb (Bridge + Dimmer + 2x White Bulbs, 2x Colour Bulbs Total £94.47)
C) Stick with B22 Starter Kit (Bridge + 3x Colour Bulbs Total £89.99)

With option B over C, I get 1 less Colour Bulb in place of 2 White Bulbs and the switch for just £4.48 more.

Anyone know what seems the best option??

Said register email 165 left....registered, went to click to get and said none left.
Think they left it live just to get folks email address. How many were there at start?

Just offloaded to CEX for £22. Reckon I've upgraded and made a tiny profit

Said 5000, I saw the comment and went straight on. Obviously didn't last long.

It will connect to any Bluetooth speaker via the Alexa app on your phone.

Lol...now it's mocking me. Said 165 left again, went through and said none left.

Then...............the app has just sent me a notification saying, Remember to use your Amazon deal in your wallet, to show sold out again.............grrrrrr

Has anyone seen any decent 65" 4k tv deals please?

anyone recommend a bluetooth speaker for use with ipad/tablets? Am considering either the anker Soundcore or the Betron portable speaker

Anybody seen any good tv deals? Looking for something small for bedroom cheap as possible be great

thanks

I know alexa will at some point this year connect with sonos but it hasn't happened yet?

Goddamn, why am I always so hesitant to make sure of good offers. Now the student10 code has expired :disappointed:

I'm debating the exact same. The colour kit is good value but I was hoping the two standard bulbs and bridge (which is about £50 I think) would be on offer, but it's not. The ambiance lights are a good price but aren't really what I was after, I will probably be using the bulbs in the hallway, whereas the ambiance is probably better in bedrooms?

Ordered the Bean to cup coffee machine from Krups https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01MU7WDX4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499770693&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=krups+ea9010&dpPl=1&dpID=41NUdpwd-0L&ref=plSrch

Alex / Sonos integration is currently in Beta testing.

Is there any way of setting up the Echo to work with one of these?

Finally, wohoo
Canon Pixma TS8050 £89.99

Photo printer all-in-one

Try amazon warehouse deals they have an extra 20% discount today.

All these deals, and all I have bought has been some mint tea.

I didn't see it on the compatible speakers on Amazon so can't be sure, someone else might know ?

End of the year apparently, as sonos told me :smile:

thank you

Have you had any bad experiences cooking with the Instant Pot where things have turned out bad with the cooking; or with the product acting up? Quite a few reviews said it broke after a few months. Unless there was just a faulty batch of them at some point.

Does the silicone seal transfer taste to different products? I have read it gets quite smelly after a while and people recommend getting a spare to use with more delicate dishes.

Thanks.

Has anyone seen any good 7.1 headsets in the sale? Ideally wireless. I haven't noticed any as yet but hoping to find some!

You decided yet?

I am leaning towards the 3 Colour setup now. But the mrs would probably make use of the switch. So could get one seperate for £17.99 (Total 3 Bulb Starter and Switch £107.98)
But then they do a Switch and Bulb for £29.99, So only £12 for an extra white bulb (Now that would be £119.98) Jeez this, dip my toes in to get a DOT for £35 is going to end up costing me around £200 lol...def tell the mrs the bulbs were only a fiver lol

mine said sold out without wanting anything else

Damn, this sale has cost me £500+ so far!! Last purchase being a TomTom Runner 3 + Music + Headphones, despite having a TomTom Runner 2 Cardio + Music on the way directly from TomTom!! I hate sales, but I love them at the same time!

Had our Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6 Litre, 1000 W for over a year and it's worked very well. It does have a bit of leftover smell from previously cooked dishes, but I've never noticed any flavours transferring to new dishes (however I add a lot of spices, so I probably wouldn't notice if it did!).

Well worth the money in my opinion, although I just sold mine, as I have "upgraded" to sous vide instead - very different technique, but I see it as "either slowly cooking something with sous vide or cooking it quickly to get tender meat ready for dinner". Even the pressure cooker takes time, slow cooking meat to perfection with sous vide means I can just make the side dish after work and have dinner ready a lot quicker.

Kogo segu I'd rather pay a bit extra for the newer model while it's reduced.

You're doing exact same as me. My misses was all 'That's expensive for a bloomin bulb' ... But I thought if I could get the starter pack for £35 ish then that's a good way to dip my toes in.
However, I now have in my basket the 3 colour setup and a motion sensor!

Hi

I've had only good experiences with IP, I think the reason for this is I have the iPhone when I'm using the IP, so its pretty much garanteed to work, following the step by step youtube videos.

• The rice time needs trial apparently, I'd start on 2 mins (not tried rice yet).

• The slow cook feature (again not tried)- but read its best using the medium or high mode, the Low is too Low. Also these look good- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01K7XKN8I/ref=twister_B01KHZBN5I?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

• In sauté mode it can get quite hot so best stirring and always keep an eye on things.

•When changing between modes ie Sauté and manual pressure, you need to press off first, this look a bit of time to get used to, but all good now

The IP is gauranteed for 12 months, no issues, as you say may have been a bad batch.

The cooking smells - tip after use wipe lid and seal, and invert lid on IP, ie don't close the lid when in storage, this allows everything to breath.
I guess a spare silicone seal would be handy, I don't tend to cook deserts or yoghurts though so don't have a spare, plus I use the storage tip above.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask more questions!

Strange I had to sign up on the App (iOS). I found the deal banner, clicked it and it gave the code. I entered the code on Amazon on a PC as I didn't want to risk clicking through and losing it. My wife was already signed up so just clicked the banner and typed code on PC. We are both with three network. They probably ran out of codes and like you say now using it as click bait.

The Gold 1000x model actually came for £146 this morning - the 20% discount so £116 in total, which was a bargain. Keep a lookout as they do come at these prices at times.

An Echo Dot can plug straight into the receiver with a 3.5mm jack cable if you want to use the receiver as the speaker for the Echo Dot. It may also work over bluetooth as the receiver has it.

Any codes to get the firestick lower than £29.99 apart from student account which I don’t have ?

Well that's me done!
Echo dot, three Phillips hue coloured bulbs, hue motion sensor and Hive smart hearting with installation. COME AT ME SMART HOME!!!

Have it!

Opted for the white echo last night (used £10 off prime now app for £69.99) got delivered this morn via the prime now app, and...I think it's ace!

The trouble is, my beautiful dog is called Alexa (shock) Stupid amazon naming their device after my girl... cheeky (:I

You can call it other names

Anyone else having problems ordering the 15 month PSN for £29.99? Tried 4 times and each one cancelled. This was on a new Amazon account. Thanks

I ordered a LIFX wifi smart bulb

you're right, echo it now is

thank you (highfive)

Although you might confuse the poor thing. I'd imagine you've been calling the dog by the same name for some time now?

or change you're dogs name lol

Haha, she is already called sooo many nicknames, some best to not put on here (embarrassed)

Well, I had been looking at Google Home, after previously thinking..."Why do I want a talking assistant when I have my phone?" This was only a few months ago.

Then came along Prime........
...Then came the thought, should I get Echo? or maybe dip my toes in with 1 DOT for £35...£35 half a night out or a good takeaway (with all the trimmings)
...........then came along someone mentioning a Code on one of these posts.......yeah a code!....How those codes seduce me into feeling good about spending cash........a code for 3 DOT's.....but why would I need 3??
I tried to convince myself......Living Room.....Kitchen.....Bedroom......OK sounds good as saves walking to a particular room to try it out.

FAST FORWARD......less than 6 hours from Prime with the clock on a few mins to midnight I have got..
2x Black DOT's (blends in), 1x White Dot (for a window sill in kitchen..blends in (hopefully condensation won't wreck it)

Oh....but no.......I'm consummed, cos now I got the 3 Colour Philips Hue Starter kit coming..........Almost £200 spent!!!

Who am I to think a £35 toe dip would end well, when I'm surrounded by equally crazy folk on a shopping forum...

So now I need to hide it all from the Mrs.

Soon as she leaves the house it will be Alexa, Disco light time.......Just hope the neighbours don't tell the Mrs, evertime she leaves for work the music goes on..lights go red..and ya fella next door keeps shouting Alexa at top of his voice!!!

Right am off to bed, long nightshift and when I wake up the Amazon Pixies should be at my door......Addios all who read this far........ :o/

Use 3m mounting strips, you can wall mount it for pennies...protection from the condensation.

And that's what Amazon Prime day is all about! Buying crap you don't need or forcing certain products on peple which are 'limited' offers and are not selling well!

Anyway it is all good fun and I was hoping the Huawei smartwatch would be reduced - came in this morning and £40 off so not bad! Also bagged a few things from the warehouse deals.

Bit annoying not being able to use STUDENT10 on Echo... (mad)

So far only have purchased the PS+ subscription. Mine was going to expire in a couple months so im now good until jan 2019 :smiley: was umming and aahing at a Fire tablet but after watching a few reviews and seeing the amazon bloatware I decided not too.. Nothing else has grabbed me really!

Has anyone seen any good deals on Nintendo 3DS?

Yeah, I got the washing tablets, a 10 pack of coke and some milk with my order. Might hide the fact why I got 3 light bulbs hand delivered. Though my cash, she won't understand.....neither will most, if I say I have just spent 90 quid on 3 lightbulbs! The "Yeah, but they were £150 and I can save 10 calories by saying turn lights on and it has 16million colours...but I only ever use white....may not help with my early madness.

Hey-ho...I raise my chalice and salute you all. Hope ya all had fun.....now to bed and a week of watching Youtube vids to learn all the tricks of my new techno stuff....Peace x

Well just think that in a day or two you'll be able to mutter the words 'Alexa, light's out' :smiley:

(Or maybe it is 'lights off' as I don't own the devices)

Enjoy your new gadgets.

It's a "smart" device, it'll understand both :wink:

I have been looking at sous vide (the Wancle one usually goes for £79.99 in an offer on Amazon and has good reviews) but saw the Instant Pot 8l as part of Prime Day.

Sous vide seems to be more about planning what you are wanting to eat hours beforehand. Unless it is cooked in advanced; ice bath cooled and frozen/refrigerated for a later date. It seems the electric pressure cooker is a bit more along the lines of quick batch cooking items.

Still procrastinating about whether to go for the Instant Pot. I like the idea of cooking bean dishes like refried beans quickly as well as whole chickens. without having to keep checking hobs and the oven :smiley:

Am I the only who has looked at the deals and not brought anything :\

also a deal is philips airfryer for £85.99

Is the Echo/Echo Dot smart enough to ignore the commands/demands of other people? For example, if you have a visitor who is a bit of a joker and decides to mess about by ordering a load of stuff; or change alarm settings, heating lighting etc for a 'laugh'.

Looks like the PS+ for 15 months has sold out :disappointed:

I don't do ice baths - I cook my things either 24 hours (so preparing the night before), 9 hours (either vacuum sealing a bag the night before or a zip-lock bag in the morning), or small cuts of meat (like steaks) for 2 hours if I don't need to have a meal ASAP when coming home from work.

I'm quite the meat eater and the meat I have had since getting a sous vide has been so much tastier. But it does require planning - can't go shop on the way home and then cook something up on the spot. As I said, very different techniques/approaches, but both can be used to achieve the goal of "food quickly when getting home from work". There are things my sous vide cannot do due to the low temperature limits of it being a water bath. I bought an Anova and a Very Useful Box that I cut a Anova-shaped hole in the lid :smile:

I read somewhere that you can set up PINs so you can't order via Alexa without that - never looked much into it - but no, they're not able to recognise individual voices and only allow YOU to use it. Sometimes that's a blessing, sometimes that's a curse.
Only issue I've had, is when having a group of friends over and trying to give commands while there's a conversation going - it doesn't quite work, it picks up everything being said.

Tried that with my wife....wasn't as forgiving.

Not sure if I saw the deal on this threadbut managed to get Infinite warfar ps4 free (Xbox and ps4) via Amazon prime deal and delivered this morning :smile:

Do you mean Infinite Warfare not Gears as Gears is only on Xbox.

Yeah Gas thx for the correction , I meant COD infinite warfare (y)

Has anyone seen a kids balance bike in the deals today?
Thanks
(I've spent way too much on dad toys and so should buy something for them :smiley:

I'd call mine Yo! or oi!

Come Christmas, all the Xmas tree lights and other Xmas lights in my living room go into one power strip. That strip has an Alexa enabled WiFi plug between it and the socket. That socket is a right pain to get to, so now I don't have to." Alexa, Xmas Tree off". Absolutely love it, and so do the grandchildren.

Not really no... my nephews are amazed by it and regularly add random stuff to my shopping list but (and its a big but) it doesn't actually order anything without your pin. It'll just sit there in a shopping list.

This is a joke. Everything in my basket has risen in price in the last few days and then gone on 'sale' at the price a few days ago. Also theyve pulled the student10 code.
So dodgy and dishonest.

Hi probably a silly question I want to buy the hue kit on offer but as well as some bayonet lights I have r50 small screw bulbs in some fittings. What would they be the r27?

Can anyone recommend a good contact camera for a decent price? I've always wanted to get the Sony RX IV, gutted I missed out on the Mark 3 for the price it was at

It's not... 7.4 has been delayed. It's expected soon.

Haawt

Any decent surround sound systems on offer?

I appreciate 10NOW40 doesn't work but does anyone know what that other £10 off code is please? Saw it earlier and now lost it!

No need, Dave hooked me up and I'm currently wallowing in rocking horse sh*t while everyone is losing their **** on Prime Day.

Just ordered black Echo Dot for £34.99 and tried code STUDENT10 (which was shown as expired against the 3 x Echo Dot deal). It worked so got it for £24.99! Not sure if highlighted anywhere else on this thread.

Looks like STUDENT10 is back and working again

Wow that was quick :confused:. Ok I'll send you the prize by PM.

Haha, thanks. Needed something to do that wasn't window-shopping on Amazon :man:

Have any bargains appeared on Prime Now today? I got a £5 credit (I think) for selecting no rush delivery.

Any decent men's cologne deals?

Got another one for you on the other 2100 heat thread

Anyone been watching the Sony 49inch 4k hdr tv 2017 model? It's rewlly strange, was available earlier, I measured up this evening but now it says it doesn't exist anymore ??? Can anyone help me find where it's gone?? Is it a good tv?

Tried to order an echo using STUDENT10 code got "The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase."

Me too, sees a little dull this year.

Thanks. As long as it is smart enough to answer 'no' to asking, " Alexa, what is the account ordering pin number?".

Seems a bit of a hassle having to sort through your shopping list due to nephew added items each time.

Same here! Excellent.

Totally agree. Bought two anyway!

A big thank you to the person/people updating the OP with every single deal.

Missing an ECHO on the column on the right row 19 too. Unless the quote in comment 694 has caused that issue. :laughing:

nope no student account. tried deleting and reordering. computer says no

They never reduced the Fire TV box. Angry!

When does it end?

Managed to get xbox one forxa 1tb bundle used very good for £124 after discount. Cant complain at that pric

Yakuza 0 & Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5 bought for under £40 :smile:

midnight

Is it just me or is that all the lightning deals done for today?

This is terrible this year

I used student 10 on an echo earlier. Just tried it again on an echo dot and works perfectly....

I was hoping for the tefal actifry :disappointed:

Can anyone share which best power bank offers the best bang per buck?

Just placed an order for the Echo with Student code, cheers for that. If I was to buy the dot for the kitchen a)would the dot be good enough for the kitchen and b) is the audio decent enough for music and radio with the dot?

Yeah, you're right. It's funny because third party sellers are told they must ship enough stock to sell for the duration of their slot yet Amazon has failed to do that on some of their own deals and you'd think they'd have much better insight into projected figures.

We also had next to no free credit builders in the run up compared to other markets. The US for example got $10 credit for watching Prime Video. We get a £100k prize instead, not a very fair sharing of marketing money. They also have $10 off $20 when ordering via Alexa deals.

Was hoping for the sony bravia 43xd8088 to go on sale, oh well...

Just managed to use the STUDENT10 code for a second time, in case that is of any use to anyone.

The first time I used it was last night, maybe it reset after they pulled it and reinstated it. Have tried a third time but no luck.

Yeah thought as much. Lucky... :smile:

Spent so much

...aaaaaaaand we're done.

and thats it for another year
or until Black Firday at least :wink:

Escaped with -£60

It turned out well, you just really had to dig deep to search out the bargains, the headline offers weren’t great but there was some cracking gear if you could bear the search.

Glad to help! That's what I was trying to get but no luck a third time :disappointed:

I had an order cancelled on a 2nd account... needed 2 of something. They are now wise to that it seems... shame as was good whilst it lasted!

There was instructions on how to become a lifetime student and how to get amazon prime student account, anyone got links to the information please thank you

I got prime on 9th July, could I still get it reduced to 39?

amazing, managed NOT to spend money this prime day :smile:

11TH JULY 2017 - AMAZON PRIME DAY characterised by an innate desire to browse piles of random (poo) and buy things you never knew you needed or wanted (party)

12TH JULY 2017 - BUYER'S REMORSE DAY characterised by thoughts of what the hell was I thinking as you receive dispatch emails for random items that are really of no use to you or anyone you know :o

Perhaps ordering to an Amazon locker was a mistake?!

My order to an Amazon locker still hasn't been delivered. Last time this happened I got a refund out of the blue as the items had been returned undelivered, and I was invited to buy the items again at full price :disappointed:
