The 12 slot box is gone but some with 6 slots remaining. Glad to help out the other cheapskate bargain hunters 😜.

Ordered a 3rd gen echo dot this morning, got a 13th March to 10th May 2021 delivery window on it? That realistic or possibly get an earlier delivery than that?

Interesting. Do they work directly in the Hue app, or is anything additional required?

They work directly in the hue app.

I echo dot ordered on Prime Day in October- still waiting. Ordered another one yesterday- January delivery. Fire 8s seem to be shipping more or less immediately

Argos have the echo dots for 33 euro if anyone needs one before Christmas

ablelocks

theres an option listed in the Amazon Devices category for an echo dot 3 + 3 months free prime for £24.99 - new or eligible accounts only. I got it using a different email address.

I had three gen 4 echo dots shipped to me on the 20th Nov and not a single update on the shipping since, I was refunded for all three yesterday, I really hope they turn up though as they are all currently out of stock till the new year.

Thanks. Looking for the colour ones.

Have bought eight so far over time but realised this morning I need two more.

I have lifx all over the house and they are amazing. They were down to 30 quid for black Friday. And the set of four minis was down to 80ish. They are very bright for a smaller bulb

Ordered a dash cam and 2 x 5mtr led strips (total cost was around 100stg). Stalled at “dispatched” for 8 days. Got email with apology and option to apply for refund. Did so. Refunded next morning to account. Goods arrived at door 24hrs later. No price better than €0

I'm toying with the Blink 4- camera package with free Blink mini for £199.. Any thoughts?

Do you need the 4 cameras? 4 camera's won't be long flying though storage. They only record when set and you really don't want to set them all day as they'll burn through the batteries and you'll be getting notifications on your phone every few minutes especially with the 4 cameras.

Its a good system and camera quality is very good but you'll need to customise it to get the best from it. I only set mine from 9pm and 9am, or if I'm away from the house for extended time. I'd usually get a couple of notifications every night and it's usually the neighbours cat. That's with 1 camera. You can always check the live view.

Make sure you have good WiFi to where you intend to use the cameras and keep the receiver. If you want a proper job or a professional cctv then this isn't for you and you'll need to pay alot more.

They have a 100w equivalent now available. I bought a couple for use in my kitchen as the standard ones are not bright enough. Arriving tomorrow so will know what they are like then.

Been disappointed with the lack of decent headphones deals. Maybe something will come up on Cyber Monday? Managed to pick up some bone broth concentrate for 29% off; been meaning to try it for a while.

Lifx work through wifi and don't need a hub. So they can be setup straight away. You'd just want to be careful your router is capable enough if you plan to get a load

Got new interior doors with glass so Karcher Vac for £42.99 is looking tempting.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084WCB167

This particular model doesn't look to have been cheaper accordingly to CCC, but any thoughts if I should hold off a bit longer?

As in, anyone spotted them cheaper..

Have this - bought it in B&Q a while back, and it wasn't any more expensive than this price (from memory), can highly recommend, I swear by it, great for windows and mirrors.

Damn. Didn't know I needed this but I may well buy it, even just to clear up the condensation on the windows in the morning.

Postman was around at 10 this morning with a package for me. Fair play to him (and good thing I was awake )

Several more things due tomorrow/this week.. I spent far too much this week - Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless headphones, Airfryer XL (damn you BA), video card for the server, wireless gaming mouse for the little lad, new tops and jumpers from M&S... December will be VERY quiet

I ordered a q9 elephas projector, at 116 quid, saw something better, cancelled before it got here, and that was on the 6th november. Still haven't been refunded yet. Getting worried now.

Ordered a dot (3) on Friday for £18. App is reporting delivery date of May 2021, so I guess I'll be cancelling that one

Ended up opting for a "Like New" WV1 for under €30 w/ 30% discount on Amazon Warehouse.

Just a heads up for anyone that is buying these Amazon "Smart" devices during this time of the year cause it's cheap and cool, be wary of this Amazon Sidewalk "feature" that's enabled by default:

In the States only so far and can be disabled. Will probably be an opt-in when it comes to EU.

Nope, it's not in the states only... If you have Alexa app, check the settings. I had it enabled without notice, and we're supposed to be covered by GPDR... lucky I have my tinfoil hat!

Where did you buy the hat? I've been looking online but there's none left anywhere. Will a paper hat shaped like a cone work instead?

They were the only decent Amazon deal this Black Friday. Sorry you missed out.

Seller on eBay ( goes by the name of "Gemma O" ) gives them away for free. Also has a nice line of crutches ( carefull how you pronounce this though .)

Oh, bugger. Really? I ordered one to deal with the dog hair, and it'll be a pain if it ends up taking more time to clean the vacuum than it currently takes to clean the house

Absolutely love my shark. Now we dont have pets but I have long hair! Dont find it hard to keep clean. Wash out the filter once a month and cut any tangled hair out of hoover head. Couldn't be without it. Miles and miles ahead of dyson! I've had both
