Alexa Households Still Not Available in Australia

Reviewed in Australia on 16 February 2019

Verified Purchase

Amazon Echo has now been available in Australia for 1 year and yet it's still not possible to set up multiple users to share the device with their own Amazon accounts. This feature is called Alexa Households and it depends on the Amazon Household feature which is also not yet available on amazon.com.au (as confirmed by Amazon Customer Support just now). Amazon expect Australian customers to share the Echo using the one account login which is pretty archaic. C'mon Amazon, if Google Home can provide for multiple user accounts then so can you. Just another disappointment in what has become a pattern of poor execution of the Amazon Australia rollout (coupled with the, still, poor product selection, overpricing c.f. Amazon US, forced restriction on Amazon US purchases, woefully inadequate Amazon Global Store selection and inability to set up a Prime Account for family sharing).

Might need a Google Home too. 🤣

Hardware is good, software needs work. Should feel like an easy conversation you could have with a human, but feels exactly like what you’d expect; talking to a robot with limited capacity to make logical jumps. It’s impossible to have a conversation with it because it doesn’t realise it can take information from the last question to answer the next like, how “big is the sun?” and then “when will it burn out?”. And you can’t ask it to do multiple things at once like, “turn off the living room light and turn on the kitchen light” so it’s constantly “Alexa, this” and “Alexa, that”. It’s hard work and it shouldn’t be. Also, I don’t know if it’s our Australian accents, but she “doesn’t understand” or “can’t find” a fair bit and tbh right now it’s easier to just open my phone and do it myself. The whole point of these smart devices is to make your life easier and it’s kinda just more frustrating. Considering how many of these things Amazon is flogging and how much money Amazon makes every second of every day, I feel like they could do much much better if they cared more about improving the product than on flogging more of them. Maybe it’s because their shop doesn’t make them as much money as their web services. 🤷🏻‍♀️
To be fair, Amazon has Google beat when it comes to connectivity of compatible devices, but that’s only because they’ve been at it longer. And outside America, I’m not sure that’s enough.
Can’t comment on its “order more” function because I’d rather spend my grocery money locally than with a huge foreign company with a questionable track record regarding treatment of employees and a growing market monopoly not quite leashed by it’s barely there adherence to anti trust laws regarding consumer welfare. None of which stopped this hypocrite from buying stuff from Amazon during their Black Friday specials, a sale we don’t even have in Australia, following a holiday we don’t even celebrate in Australia. Damn, I disgust myself. *ahem* 😂 sorry, my woke got away from me.
Moving on, unless Amazon starts improving the AI by leaps and bounds in the next year or so we might have to just keep the Echo in the bedroom where it’s only basic commands like music weather and lights and get rid of the Dot in the living room and replace it with a Google Home.

2 Broken Alexas after 15 months...refusal of refund

Reviewed in Australia on 8 December 2019

Colour Name: Plum FabricStyle Name: Echo DotVerified Purchase

Amazon has refused to refund or replace TWO of my Alexas now, that was purchased roughly 6 months apart, and when both of them got to about the 15 months mark, they completely switch offline.
I have spent HOURS online to customer service "troubleshooting" the devices, and both of them have the EXACT SAME ERROR which is once deregistered (advised by customer service) they REFUSE TO CONNECT AGIAN, rendering them COMPLETELY USELESS.

Amazon is a MULTI MULTI MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, and won't even HELP the people that KEEP THEM RICH.

SHAME ON YOU.
It's $300 for me, which took me MONTHS to save, and your products are only created to last your 12-month warranty, but within months of that 12 months, they are BROKEN.

Under Australian Consumer Law, this is a BREACH to refuse. This is NOT acceptable quality, NOT a suitable timeframe that the product lasts, and NOT an acceptable response. They even advised me to buy another one, or buy an extended warranty. TOTALLY AGAINST AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW!
SHAME ON YOU AMAZON

Turning the lamp next to me off whilst I’m in bed is worth getting one of these, takes my laziness to a whole new level.

Dramatically better than previous generations at the same great value

Reviewed in Australia on 6 September 2019

Colour Name: Charcoal FabricStyle Name: Echo DotVerified Purchase

I’ve owned multiple first and second generation echo dots and the 3rd generation dot is undoubtedly a drastic improvement. The sound quality has much more depth and can almost fill a room while previous generations had a distinct “tinny” quality. Alexa is still incredibly responsive. My previous dots were paired to bluetooth speakers for music however this generation has adequate enough quality for casual listening. Bass response is still lacking but is to be expected from devices with this small form factor. An important thing to note is while the previous generations were powered by micro usb the current generation uses a dedicated DC power adapter which means it will take a space on your power strip. The echo dot 3 represents great value at its RRP and is even better value when it regularly goes on special.

Update: just found out the hard way that the australian power adapter is ever so slightly (about 1-2mm on each side) larger than the US power adapter and as such a lot of the mounting options sold online that let you hang the echo dot off the plug will not work. No idea why amazon would do this as the dimension difference is so nominal that they surely would have been able to fit the au adapter components into the same size as the US plug.
