I was about to buy this one from JB Hi-Fi with $9.95 delivery (thanks @brian77) when I noticed that Officeworks has free metro delivery for purchases over $55.00.
Edit: Just went through checkout and the free delivery for me was same day - even better!
Free same day delivery too… Almost instant gratification on an online spontaneous purchase without having to move? I'm not strong enough to resist
I bought one of these last year and have to say that it’s great. At this,price, I am tempted to get another one.
Turn these suckers up , and police come knocking on your door thinking there is an illegal house party..
Probs best to comment in the other thread, as this one will be closed (dupe).
This is not a dupe as the other deal is for JB hi-fi and this one is for Officeworks which include free same day metro delivery.
As someone who is uninformed, gotta ask what's so great about these? Looks like speakers to me…
It's a big, loud smart speaker.
Errr. It is a speaker.
For a moment there I was wondering what your uniform had to do with anything.
Apart from it being half price… Uh yeah.
Maybe people that used phone speakers instead…
I'm an audio snob, if I gad to pick a budget small speaker I'd take the Bose Soundlink. Had the original, was impressive for what it is. Much nicer than the competition at the time. Apart from their headphones that's their only product I'd recommend.
i don't know why you'd pick that dinky little speaker over this unless you just like the name
I wouldn't buy Google Home speakers if I cared about audio…
Especially something you need to pair up as well.
Audio snob
Bose
I know, but it's their only speaker I actually thought was good. Much better then the plastic junk at the time.
@scuderiarmani: People who’ve never owned one would never know. For their size it’s impressively loud, though you’d wonder what’s inside because it’s as heavy as a brick but only 1/3 the size.
Google Assistant plus better speakers than JBL Boombox for $198.. why not?
Damn any deals on Alexa products?
Do these need to be always plugged into 240v like the small ones?
Nup, they have giant magnets in them (thus why they're so heavy) and they suck electricity straight out of the air.
(profanity) magnets, how do they work?
MAGNETS BITCH!
Anyone else getting "unavailable online"?
Not available online or in any stores near me… tried 3088 and 3000
Not available on line and out of stock?! Anyone else? Blacktown and Minchinbury is showing the same.
I was able to checkout and add to cart even when it's showing not available online…
Can I use airplay to play from an iPhone?
No. If it helps homepod is $299 currently.
Is there anything this can do that Google Assistant on my phone that can cast to my smart TV (and so home theatre system) can't do?
You don't need this if you have a theatre system.
It's more convenient since it's always-on (unlike the TV)
Can you hook this up with your laptop/desktop and use it as a speaker as well? Sorry for the noob question.
I think you can pair your laptop to Google Home Max using bluetooth

Thank you very much mate, cheers.
This has a 3.5mm input otherwise
Thank you very much mate, cheers.
Tempted to buy one but thiking of, How do we compare this with Bose Home Speaker 300, with Amazon Alexa Built-in, Black? is this better?
Anyone received it today using same day delivery?
Mine is still “Preparing your order” status
Even though the website said Delivery on “Wednesday, 1st of April, 2020
between 8am - 5pm”
Can’t wait for this!!!
Yep same, it was all an elaborate April fool's joke…
But yeah most likely just coronadelays
Nice, everyone’s joined the party (figuratively that is, as no parties are allowed). Kudos for the credit regarding the JB HiFi deal OP. Glad you got a great deal!
Mine still says processing and delivery by COB Thursday, 2nd of April. Definitely not an April Fools stunt…
Also available at Harvey Norman for $7.95 delivery so if you're using a discounted gift card that is a slightly better deal.
