I've got a Ring Doorbell 2. (And floodlight in in the back garden)

It works well, accept for the fact that mine seems to struggle with a poor wi-fi connection which makes it sometimes slow to bring up live video on my phone.

Other than that it works exactly how it is depicted in the TV adverts.

Think I will take the plunge as with quid co's 11% cashback on top (from argos) makes it just over £100

Thanks, I bought one too

Saved me £60 - cheers

Had the difference been as noticeable as the Dots I would've bought one.

I deleted my reply as I was wrong. You must have quoted at the same time. I have Echo 1st and 2nd gen so my comment about the 3rd gen is incorrect. Sorry.

I'm after a phone for son in laws xmas present, currently the Samsung M20 seems a good deal for 174 euros on Italy Amazon.

Anyone seen anything better or could recommend a better budget smart phone?

Ok, cheers for letting me know!

Anybody else know if jump from 1 to 3 is worthwhile?

The Motorola G series? My daughter has a G6 Play and it's brilliant for a budget phone - I hear the G7 phones are just as good...

VPN wise, I've been getting increasingly unhappy with my ExpressVPN account. Nord are offering 39 months for £98, I dont know if that's good or bad, but I bought it anyway.

I'll run it alongside Express for a bit then decide which is best for me.

What do you use a VPN for?

Majority of cases, its simpler and much to set up a pihole or similar. Just connect to your home broadband whilst out/browsing unsecured.

Yeah thanks was looking at them too, seem good and similar prices, I guess you cant go far wrong with any of the known brands around that price, all seem pretty similar spec.

Thanks, but not that. I need geolocation. I have a pihole running on the network.

My daughter has a G6 play and it's brilliant - odd behaviour regarding reading memory but is a great little phone. I've always heard god things about the G7 and G8 series

Picked up a Vitamix Pro 300 for £200 off the normal £500.
Bargin.

Not the most exciting purchase but I have wanted a good blender for a while my current stick and jug blenders are just not good enough. I've not bothered as they are so expensive. £300 is still a lot but more palatable.

Where from ?

Lakeland

Argos - Amazon Firesticks

4K Firestick was £49.99 now £29.99

What do you mean by not the digital one?

I’m keeping an eye out for an Xbox but know bugger all about them so don’t want to buy the wrong thing!

There's a version that only has internal storage without a disc and uses only digital storage - So you can put discs in it... I'm not sure I'm keen on that one...

Ta, don’t think I’d want that one either, but hadn’t noticed that was an option.

[ambuletz]

i don't know about other sites but both argos and amazon seem to have some big discounts on marhsall stuff, headphones, earphones, bluetooth speakers. I can't vouch for how good they are, but to me they've always seemed expensive (although very pretty looking).
