    I haven't opened the two I got previously.

    • +24

      I'll DM you my address

      • +9

        yeah, you can open them for me and send back!

        • +1

          Sounds like the 30 day return window is already closed

    • +5

      And I'll take the second one ;)

    • +5

      And when you get this one, I’ll take it :)

    • +1

      And I'll take the last one if you get two again this time.

    • Shotgun fifth

    Are these close to worthless? I've let my prime lapse on purpose, but would rather have a different sweetener to rejoin than some amazon smart-stalking device. So I'd be flogging it.

    Although the only other sweetener I've ever seen is an Amex cashback on membership or just saving myself the monthly fee by not having it

    • +3

      Nah. They’re good if you have a use case.

      Voice trigger for smart automation, timers, etc is good. As a music speaker… nah.

      • I mean sale value. There must be little demand for a generation old smart device by now

      • I'm impressed at the music quality for my use case - shared ambience between kitchen and outdoors. I think they fill the space nicely with a V shaped signature that isn't too extreme.

      • They're pretty decent for music if you connect two in stereo, lacking bass, but still decent

    • +1

      They're good devices, I use them for voice control mainly.

    • +1

      Alexa is good at whispering back. You can control many devices & can wire better speakers if you wish.

  • +4

    the echo dot is a great device, just link it to a decent amp

    • +4

      You can also connect to your own speakers over Bluetooth or with a 3.5 mm audio cable.

      Nice.

  • +1

    damn you are cheap Alexa, too bad my heart is with Google already

    • +10

      Old el Paso - "why not both?"

    • +8

      I’m mixing up my smart speakers names just like mixing up girlfriend names. So far they haven’t keyed my car.
      P.s. Google I don’t call your name but I know you’re listening 😬

      • +5

        There's been many mornings I've been yelling at Google to snooze my alarm, only to remember I should be asking Siri.

        • One day maybe we can customise our speaker name. Imagine saying hey monalisa, whats the weather outside?

        Done. Simples.

          Welcome to Amazon Prime! Hang on, you kind of look familiar…

  • +2

    Great deal, $10 for another Ring Chime

    • Are you just making another account?

  • This used to be free. Now it’s 10 bucks

    • +3

      it was free for users with the Alex or Alexa first name or something, prior to that it was the same 10$ new customer deal

  • +2

    It’s a shame they only have the black one left. I remember when there were Echos of diversity in the cavernous Amazon warehouses.

    Or I could just stop being cheap, and spring for the latest generation… you only live twice!

    • yeah no pink in photos either

  • Wish they had the Echo 15 for some sale. Missed the prime day sale

  • why not for existing member

    • +1

      because an existing member is willing to pay for prime without extra incentives, simples

  • +1

    This keeps my daughter entertained for hours everyday at the cost of Amazon Music subscription though.

    • My kids love 'em (we're a google house), bedtime stories, playing songs or rick-rolling each other in the morning.

    • Don't you get Amazon Music, as well as Video, Reading, Twitch and shipping discounts as part of Prime? Works out pretty cheap.

      • Yeah I have Prime but that only gives limited access to Amazon Music. A lot of songs are missing unless you sign up for Amazon Music unlimited. You do get multiple access so I use it to stream music in my car as well.

        • Thanks. Oh wow, didn't know that. 👍🏽

  • So if I joined a free Prime Trail yesterday I am not eligible for this offer right?

    • +1

      T&Cs say no

    • Keep following the trail until the end. But sometimes you have to tread your own path to find the hidden gems

  • +1

    These things have been less the $20 for months.

    I just disconnected our three that I had setup, and the Show 5. They spent more time reacting accidentally than doing anything of use.

    Will probably disassemble them for novelty value.

  • +1

    After purchase i got $10 credit to spend on orders over $39
    Claimed it via app.

  • +1

    Considering how much I love the 3 Echo 5's I bought back when they were 35, I'll give this a whack too.

    (profanity) it, throw it in the attic as a cheap Spotify machine. Cheers, OP.

  • Can this be used as a Bluetooth speaker to play music off phones or connect to a monitor via 3.5 mm audio cable to be used as an external speaker

    • It has an AUX port for input not output. So it can't be used as an external speaker for a monitor.

      • +2

        you've mixed up your ins and outs mate. if you connect echo dot to a speaker it will play audio on connected speaker. therefore it can output audio.

        • Thanks. Can not be used a BT or external speaker

          • +1

            @utsc: It can indeed be used as a BT speaker, I use mine for BT all the time.

          • +1

            @utsc:

            Can not be used a BT or external speaker

            It can. I use one as my computer speaker.

  • Amazon stalking device 😂

    I love Alexa's translation skills. Just ask Alexa to say "one hundred" in Welsh

    • +1

      I just tried it with google….

      I don't speak that language yet

      Edit: I just went to google translate. Nice.

      Reminds me of this

    • Damn she's rude

  • I wish they get rid of “now playing from auxyzabcrtyfghux” announcements.been using it as work laptops speakers for meetings but this goes on sleep when nothing plays for 10 mins and when you connect to it, it announced device name. It at work gives laptops 12 digit name which is very annoying.

  • Thanks op, ordered another 3

  • +2

    Looks like I’m one of few but I like mine. I have this, the echo, show 8 and the echo studio. For $10 (even for $59) it’s 95% of the sound quality of a $150 apple HomePod mini. Only difference was the HomePod mini downfires the bass so it gets a touch more resonance. In terms of “smart”, Siri is beyond stupid. Amazons Alexa blows her away.
    Actually love it as timer, play music in a room while working from home. Set an alarm, for this or another room. Very good. And unlike the HomePod - my lights and speakers don’t need reconnecting every 3 days.. ymmv

    • +1

      I agree, I prefer Alexa than ok google too. Also bought a meta portal integrated with Alexa and it's excellent.

    • +1

      Love mine, and my 3 Show 5's as well. Set this guy up today and found out about the announce function, immediately used it to say I wanted to see my partner's mammaries from another room. Lovely.

      Legit though, hella cool devices, love the things. I feel bad when I tell it to make a fart noise or something because it's so gosh darn cool. And WAAAAAY better, like actual leagues above anything Siri or Hey Google have going for them. Hell, even today with that annouce function, we sent some audio messages back and forth from it and it sent them to my phone and 9 out of 10 words were correct from speech to text, and we spoke in slang and all, fair effort.

      tbh while I'm on it, I (profanity) LOVE how if I've got music playing on the Show 5 (and presumably the Dot since they work the same) and it's a song I don't like, I can say "skip this shit" or "shut the (profanity) up" and it goes to the next song or stops playing, and the smart arse shit it does, like if you say you love it because you feel bad you yelled at it, and then it sings that "thanks for saying I love you" song it does.

      (profanity) Alexa man, it's dope shit. No intention of getting any more smart home bullshit any time soon, I can handle turning my door knob myself for now, but like, yelling out from the other room to set an alarm or turn on music and whatnot, it's awesome.

  • Can officeworks pricematch? They pricematched the other deals.

    I have 4 of these around house for device control and overseas radio.

    I gave one to my grandmother so she can listen to overseas radio / music/ news.

    • +1

      Odds of JBHiFi live chat price matching?

      • Hairy Chickens, you are the real MVP!

        • I haven't tried yet because I was out. Were they willing?

      • The real question is how they handle the price matching, assuming they don't just give you one of those coupon codes to activate whatever deal you get, AKA "if you can somehow use the $10 welcome voucher" then this would be swell.

        Edit: Suppose if someone in store was lovely enough to match it, you could do this.

        • Well with JB they give you a direct link to a custom cart where you can apply a voucher when you price match. They don't generate a code to apply the discount.

          I still haven't gotten around to trying it. Says a lot about my lazy ass haha

  • not a bad time to rejoin Amazon Prime lol
    thanks

  • No free prime trial anymore? It only gives the option to sign up for prime and pay…

    • New accounts only, you may need a new email and phone number

  • Have two echo dots but don't really use them anymore since getting the show 5.

    Only thing I can think of is buying this to gift

  • So I ended up getting one of these for $10 and in all honesty, it's just as good as my larger one, with an eight inch screen.

    When it first got delivered, the first thing that I'd noticed was the quality of the power adapter as well as well as the Echo Dot 3, especially how heave this little thing is.

    Definitely worth the $10 dollars.

    The speaker isn't that great for music, but it does have a 3.5mm port to hook up to a amplifier if you need it for that - otherwise, the internal speaker is completely sufficient.

  • I picked one of these up but have noticed Alexa likes to push a few add on sales.
    There’s been a few occasions where I’ve asked to listed to a certain song or play a story for the kids and Alexa then tells me I need to sign up to Amazon music or Audiobooks. All good but she then asks if I’d like to activate a free trial for 30 days.
    I’ve said no but I’m a bit concerned the kids might get one of these messages and say yes.
    Is it that easy to subscribe or is there a security stage after saying yes to avoid this?
    Is there a way to turn this “add on” sale feature off?

    • You can sub to that specific echo dot also. Only $5.9 a month. Worth it if that's the only device you use.
