Echo dot ($59.99) and Echo($109.99) price drop

I got the Echo before the price increased...it's aiiight

if you do cross border shopping
then try swappa.com you can buy from $29.00 us$ new and used

Is Amazon violating Canada’s discounting laws. In order to call something a discount you need to sell sufficient units at the normal price... They introduced the echo at $49.99 and called it a $20 discount. Now after just one month of the normal price, they reduced it by $10. So was calling a $20 discount a violation of the law or just wishful thinking?

Looks like thesource matched. Buy two and use 10 minute Email and the $25 off vip for $107 taxes in. Works out be $53.50

Waiting for the HomePod! ***FLAME SUIT ENGAGED***

I have the Echo and Echo Dot. I like it alot, but unless you have Prime, get Google.

I have the echo and I'm a little disappointed with the lack of integrations.

Lack of integrations to/with what? Echo is much more compatible with other home automatiion stuff than Google will ever be.

The LaMetric TIME Skill is only available on Amazon.com and not (yet) available to Canadians:

Customer Service says they'll pass on my frustration to the appropriate department...

50% of the reason I got an Echo was for my old WeMos (works great with them) and the other 50% was for LaMetric integration, which I kept seeing advertised...

Oh yeah, that's the ticket

I got the Echo Plus for my sister for Christmas and she's finding the lack of integration up here in Canada pretty disheartening. So far she says she uses it for the typical "weather, reminders, alarms, music" but really all of the smart speakers can do that.

She was excited for the recipes skills cause she kept seeing commercials for them. There's instapot and then a bunch of no name skills. Compare that to the US version where they have The Food Network, All Recipes, The Big Green Egg... yeah lack luster.

So why not setup with an Amazon.com account to get all the integrations? Nothing preventing this ...

would my canada prime account give me prime on amazon.com?

Went back up to $69.99?

no deal here, I see the price went back to $69.99

You can use your Amazon.ca account but switch digital content and language to US. That’s what I did and my Echos have access to the US skills.

Oh cool thanks I'll let her know about this. I just feel like this is just another case of Canada getting mislead and getting the short end of the stick again.

I have both the Echo/Echo Dot and Google Home/Google Home Mini.

I prefer the Echo for home automation. I prefer the Google Home for music and casting to my Vizio Sound Bar.
