That's Amazon's MO. The prices are not great and without Prime the shipping is slow. I'm not a fan and only use them as a retailer of LAST RESORT

We've got the Google Home Minis and love them - they are much better than Alexa - Google has the batter assistant, the better natural language processor, and you can see exactly what is recorded on the Web. It only starts when you say the keywords.

Free is relative ... everything has a price ...

We choose what gives us the most pleasure and justify the cost.

My dot get used a lot for alarms/timers, weather and music (Pandora). If the eavesdroppers are interested in what gets said in this house, they're going to be sorely disappointed. Ours is a very quiet house. And it won't be used to purchase anything.
 
Great to play Christmas tunes in the background as well. Purchase option is off on mine. I like to research before buying anything and everything.
