To have finally agreed to let Alexa into my home?

Am I going to regret it? Its only cost me £8.98 including a month free of unlimited music and a month free prime, I will try to add the link for anyone else who wants to take the plunge!

I listen to music so much more often since I got and Echo.
She plays The Archers Omnibus for me and Radio 4, I love the handsfree timer when cooking.
The routines are great, in the morning I get the weather, events in my phone calendar and BBC News headlines.
When I say “Goodnight Alexa!” -she turns off the sitting room lights and the plug in heater if it’s on.
“Lights on!” is a brilliant function as you stagger into a dark house with arms full of bags and children.
I like being able to ask General Knowledge questions too.

I feel the same op, the offer was on the christmas bargains page on here. So I figured I'd give it a go. We've ummed and ahhed for ages but at that price I figured worth a try. No idea how to use it though

@Ewock - it's really easy to use and the app is great. You can even call it 'computer' so you sound like you're in Star Trek

Going to the home of an Alexa owner is awful, especially if they have children. Constant shouts of, “ALEXA, blah blah blah blah.” And a litany of stupid questions and stupid requests, “Tell me a joke”, “Beat box for me”, all punctuated by a screech of “ALEXAAA”.

I stopped visiting one friend after attending a BBQ where 30 seconds AFTER THE START OF EVERY. SINGLE. SONG. somebody felt the need to scream “ALEXA” and start another one.
