Anyone bought or interested in one of these ....seems to offer something different ...gimmicky or actually quite useful?

I’ll actually be in the market for one soon, I’ve got the latest Google version, the Maxi (or something like that) but I’d rather have the Amazon version to link with my Echos.

I have the smaller (and cheap as chips) 5 and basically use it as a radio and to call my Mum who has one, but quickly got "over" it.
Love the small one, it's just a better radio and you also watch the news as you are working.

Likewise we have the show 8 and find it very useful, the only downer is the mic doesn't seem to be as good as other alexa devices.

Aye....I used to have a DAB/internet radio I think by Pure...but sold it to buy the Show 5 ...sound quality is just as good, smaller footprint and links in to all the smart stuff in the home...excellent value

If you fancy a quick fiddle without a full commit, you pick the 5 up for 45 quid.
It's the size of a clock radio and somewhat resembles one. Echo, Radio 5 live. Echo, play Sky News.
Sits on my desk as I'm working.
Still have my FIVE Dabs but I love this little thing. You also make Skype calls over it as well as their own "network".

Nifty
I'm also a big fan of sending late night voice messages over Alexa to a mate of mine to verbally abuse him. I assume this facility is available on this ?

Lol...I’m pretty sure you’d be ok with the play 5....ive not tried abusing anyone myself...but Clapham is right it’s a bargain
Note
Not abusing anyone isn’t strictly true...Alexa has had quite a lot

What I can tell you is if you are on a zoom meeting and go for a quick piss, colleagues can activate it with "Alexa, turn volume up full. Alexa play Dolly Parton"

Much more fun is "Alexa set alarm for 4:30 am". Done in my family Zoom chat on Sunday

Which is why you always change the "wake word" so it's not Alexa!
