My daughter wants to get her kids a Google Nest Mini each for Christmas, but she can't find any at a reasonable price.
She was hoping that they'd be on sale somewhere for Black Friday, but it seems not. Big W has been somewhat misleadingly listing them at half price for weeks, but they don't seem to have ever had any stock at that price.
Has anyone seen them on sale anywhere that actually has stock?
use them all the time, why would you do that
Probably because they have become basically unusable? Mine can't even set a timer correctly anymore.
We use it for timers most days. Might be an issue with your device
In my experience, OW won't price match if the item is out of stock. Also, OW doesn't seem to list them on their web site.
keep trying JB and Bunnings, they will do it, not every customer agent is smart
I can't seem to find the Google Nest Mini on the JB or Bunnings web sites. Maybe they are end-of-life and that's why no-one but Google seems to have them in stock. I can't find an end-of-life statement anywhere, though.
That's because it has reached its end of product life.
It was released 5 years ago in 2019.
You may want to consider something similar like the Amazon Echo Pop for $29 and combine with 25% cashback.
Depending on where you live only 2 Target stores have these still for $39. Only Click & Collect
Target Mildura
In stock in this store
Target Palmerston
Limited stock in this store
If you don’t mind it being used, there are a lot on marketplace right now.
Yeah, I've seen those as well as some on eBay, but my daughter says that as they're Christmas gifts for her kids, they need to be and look new.
"as they're Christmas gifts for her kids, they need to be and look new."
true story; I was once gifted a second hand 4 gang power board (may have been something else with it) in a plain brown cardboard box, FFS I just had to laugh

Most tech companies gutted their voice control programs until they can figure out how to get AI to do all the hard work for them. They spent billions on it and had nothing to show for it (Amazon apparently lost $25b in 5 years).
A company I worked for had an entire team working on trying to access your customer account via smart speakers. They had to detail every single step possible. Give it a couple of years and ChatGPT will be able to log into your account and do anything for you, it'll upend the entire market.
They still sell these? I remember putting a couple in the bin a year or so ago after receiving them for free from various means.
