Good price for an awesome gadget, read some reviews, if you you find a use for it you'll use it everyday as i do for music, alarms, controlling smart devices like lights, smart plugs, thermostat etc and if you don't then it sells for very nearly this much used....

Great price, but I'm looking for dots at the moment. Wish Amazon so did the three pack...

I bought one on Prime day and have been really impressed. I also picked up a used Echo Dot this week, the full size one blows the Dot out of the water on sound quality.

Linking the dots up to your amplifier and speakers blows the echo out of the water on sound quality. They have different use cases.

Great deal. Good spot OP. You can occasionally grab some cracking deals at QVC.

Very tempted by this, spent loads on the hue recently and would like a good speaker in the lounge too.

If you have a decent HiFi in the lounge with Aux in, save yourself a few quid and get the dot. So long as you can turn off Auto-Standby, it's a far better option. That's what I did, my Echo is in the bedroom now.
Yeah, what Lowtrawler said ^^ :grin:

What have u got it connected to

Got it connected to a Denon DM39 mini system. One of these (this is the newer model but same thing)
The dots are just as good and cheaper and then if u really want music buy a anker speaker. It will sound better then this. As for hue. Be careful with names of lights. We had to change our sons room 4 times as Alexa just couldn't bl**dy get it right. Siri is bang on every time and will even do colours. This does but u have to use separate software to get it to work which is aggy and time consuming to get to work. I personally don't see the point of the big one tbh

Waste of money if you ask me. I got one for £52 recently but sold it 24 hours later. Not impressed in the slightest with it. Only good thing was I made a profit on it when I sold it.

Do you have Prime or any smart devices? I can see that without those it might be of limited interest to people.

Fascinating. Do you have any other stories on cheap consumer goods you bought and were not impressed with? The less details on why you didn't like it the better.
The fact you buy the device knowing it records everything makes it legal, as by using it you agree to it's capabilities.

I find the voice commands really poor on the dot. Takes ages to play a band it always mis hears me. Maybe I speak like a retard I don't know it's quite possible

With Black Friday, and Cyber Monday only 12 weeks away, I think holding off on any Amazon tech would be wise. These will definitely hit the sub 80 pound mark on either of those days.

I wouldn't bank on them being £80 for Black Friday, Amazon discount more on their own Prime Day than Black Friday.
