    My brother's place last Xmas someone asked the Alexa something and once it got going they could not get it to shut up. He had to turn it off in the end. I think they're creepy and I wouldn't even consider getting one.

    Absolutely zero use for it anyway. I didn't spend 30 years and a shedload of cash getting my hi-fi how I want it so I could go back to listening to music coming out of a tiny little mono speaker in a plastic cab. We had that at home in the 1970s!

    I have an Amazon Alexa and think it's brilliant. Personally, for the size, I think the music is decent enough. It's never gonna compete with my Hi-Fi, but thats not the point. You want the date, the weather were you are or any general question.......just ask and you get the answer. My friend point blank won't have one......but that's up to each individual. Plus I only paid £40 second hand.....what could you get Hi-Fi related for £40......not a lot.

    Nail on head Vince . Actually the bigger of the 2 echos I have seen , has an amazing bass and sound for what looks like 8 -9 ins of thick drainpipe !!
    I wouldn't begin to infer that it can replace my Hifi , and I doubt I will ever put it through that , as a convienience , but once you get over the embarrassment of talking to the thing , its quite refreshing - and just so so easy to turn on and off and search for anything you like !!

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I have since found out that by having 2 Alexas will mean they charge not 3.99 a month but 7.99

    The jammy dodgers only allow one Alexa to play the 3.99 a month music - a single use Echo .

    So my Mrs one ,is going to be portable
