So I must admit, I didn’t fancy one of these at all, but a couple of weeks after my partner brought it home, I grew to love it. The Amazon Echo Dot is the perfect size for the kitchen and a great help when your hands are full cooking or washing the dishes. “Hey Alexa, how many grams are in a tablespoon”, “Hey Alexa, put on the radio”, “Hey Alexa, give me the news headlines” or “Hey Alexa, set a timer”. The features are growing all the time and it can be a great little assistant, especially when it only costs £50.
