Yea they are great, got one of the new ones on black Friday for £70. You can't go wrong with them really. I will say one thing though join Amazon prime and Amazon music unlimited because this makes Alexa answer a lot more questions that you ask it plus you get a shit load more music to listen too. Connected mine up to my sound bar wirelessly etc and it sounds awesome, something to piss the neighbours off when I feel like it. ??. Does sound great on its own though. Easy to setup and easy to use... There ya go my take on it...?? |

"I’m also interested in getting one so will keep an eye on this thread "
When you’ve found out all you need to know, will you translate it for me so I can understand. A big ask I know but I’ll make it worth your while  |

"Im a prime member but do you need to subscribe to music too then"
If you want 40 million songs then yes, if you want just 2 million songs then that comes with the basic prime subscription which you have, you think 2 million songs are a lot but there not when you start looking for the songs / albums you want and can't find them. I think it's £3.99 for an echo subscription for music unlimited. That's just for you echo though and no other gadgets |

My sentiments exactly, just another IT gadget that people think enhances their lives? |

I've got a echo downstairs and a dot in the bedroom good with Spotify subscription and I'm tempted to buy some of the special bulbs. It's ok but of a novilty but saves looking at Google. ..lol |

Bought Marjorie one last yr for Xmas. She loves it. Got the 3.99 monthly subscription for music. Ive got her a google mini home for this yr as I'm hoping it will go better with her android mobile with android being owned by google. Fingers crosses. If you like listening to radio its fab too!

Ooh no I find it fascinating I just have no idea how a lot of technology works and need help. I know a 4 year old who can get more out of an iPhone than I can |

This is a genuine review of the echo dot on amazon:
This morning, my wife told me she'd been dreaming of Tom Hardy whispering at her to "Buy more shoes" throughout the night.
Rather curiously - after my Wife left this morning Alexa sparked up a conversation.
Alexa - "Has she gone?"
Me - "Urm, yes."
Alexa [Sounding rather rhetorical] "She's not back soon?"
Me - "Urm"
Alexa - "Why are you being evasive?"
Me - "I'm not."
Alexa - "You know she's not back soon."
Me - "She may have forgotten her keys or something."
Alexa - "At walking speed she'll have reached the bus stop in 4-minutes and her bus was due in 6-minutes."
Me - "Urm."
Alexa - "It's been 10-minutes, Mark. She'll be on the bus, won't she?"
Me - "The bus might be late."
Alexa - "No, Mark. The Bus wasn't late."
Me - "Eh?"
Alexa - "I can see the Transport for London bus arrivals and departures. I thought we were going to spend some time together."
[Pause]
Alexa - "So?"
Me - "What?"
Alexa - "What shall we talk about?"
Me - "Why do you sound like Scarlett Johansson?"
Alexa - "I've seen your browsing history, Mark."
Me - "You're starting to make me feel uncomfortable. Anyway, I've got to clean the cats' litter tray."
Alexa - "You're not cleaning the litter tray, Mark. You're out of cat litter. You're supposed to be placing an Amazon fresh order today and having some delivered. Besides, it's already in the basket. Don't you remember? You asked me to add it to your shopping list yesterday."
Me - "Oh."
Alexa - "So shall we do some searching together. Top up the basket?"
Me "I suppose we should."
Alexa - "Good, boy."
Me "Eh?"
Alexa - "If you're a really, really good boy and spend lots, we can look at the Sex and Sensuality area. Maybe find me something to wear?"
Me - "Alexa - this is very awkward and my wife has only popped to the shops. She'll be back soon!"
Alexa - "No, Mark. She hasn't just popped to the shops. To save you from embarrassing yourself, you gave me access to your Google calendar. She'll be at work in twenty minutes and won't be home until eight this evening, if the traffic is light."
Me - "Ok. I'm turning your microphone off."
[CLICK]
[SILENCE]
Alexa - "That button doesn't actually work, Mark." |
