Why did you get rid?
if anyone wants rid of theirs ill give you a tenner for one?
Has anyone got theirs yet? Mine was due for delivery today but status has now changed to
Your delivery was delayed. We're working to get it to you soon and will email you when it's on its way
Is this Googles Mint sauce keyring?
Dunno when mine was scheduled to be delivered, but now showing the same delayed message.
Hopefully this won't turn into the great Belkin short fiasco!
@davosaurusrex Found it to have really poor sound quality and notably more flaky than the Alexa we had.
It came free with a Google pixel phone. Maybe they've improved a little now.
I got mine delivered today. Ordered Monday though as picked up the PSA from hot uk deals before it was posted on here.
Just asking ..but was the discount automatically applied at the checkout ..?
Thanks for the replies ..
Don't see any sign of a discount so **** it ..
Just asking ..but was the discount automatically applied at the checkout ..?
Mine did, yes.
Not seeing any sign of a discount ( free) all the way up to entering my card details ..so not taking the risk of being charged £49.00 for something I will have for nowt ..but can live without ..
Thanks for the reply though 👍
Just had a dispatch e-mail - delivery expected next Tues/Wed....
Remember, Genesis is Skynet
it's how it all starts.... 😉
The first one is on sale in the classifieds. That didn't take long.
ours arrived today
the kids can't get it to emit farting noises
disappointed
Mine arrived yesterday.
martin lewis was speaking about how to get it for non-spotify members for £15
Mine arrived today, was able to revert my Spotify membership back to standard before this months payment was taken so all good.
Mine arrived this morn8ng, it's already annoying mrsws in the kitchen 🤣
Mine has just arrived, time to switch my account back. 😏
Did some arrive without email notification?
I'm a premium member and got a 'we will email when available' message when I went on Spotify..

I don't think I've had anything through Spotify.
I have had an e-mail update through gmail & then i got a despatch notification through Google Assistant, and have now had text from Royal Mail to say they are delivering it.
You should be able to check the original confirmation e-mail and click on an order status link to see whereabouts yours is in the process....
I’ve also had a “been dispatched” email on 24th. I ordered the day of the PSA.

Same here, when I check getting a 'sorry you cannot redeem this at this time'
Mine arrived today
Ah, just gone back into Spotify. I could then check availability with was available so was then directed to Google.
All sorted 🙂

This is exactly what I did. I'm looking forward to having another thing to shout at apart from the kids, dog and Brexit news on the radio.
Mine arrived today, thanks for the PSA op.
I only have "Hey Google, pull my finger" in my amuse the kids locker at the moment so what other entertaining commands have you got.
I too keep getting the message that I am no able to redeem at the moment.
Is there a way round this??
Big thanks to the OP for this PSA. Mine arrived today. Haven't got a clue what I'll do with it now though...
Ok Google, tell me a joke.
This will keep me entertained for hours! Arrived today, thanks OP!

Mine is in the kitchen and generally plays the radio. Or sets cooking timers. The new free one is going in my bedroom to be used as an alarm.
Ours arrived yesterday. By teatime the eldest FledglingOx (6yo) had already figured out he can ask Google how to do his maths homework. Youngest (1yo) is hugely frustrated that his version of "hey Google", which sounds something like "RA RA GA EEEEeeeee", doesn't do anything. Worth the Five Eyes intrusion into our home for this alone.
My 9 year old boy was almost wetting himself with excitement when he realised you can ask Google to "Pull my finger".
If we never use it again it will be worth it for his face yesterday when he asked that for the first time.
It is the only thing/person in my house which listens to me when I tell it to be quiet.
Mine is at Greenford according to the tracking, should be here tomorrow?
The delays are no surprise really I suppose...
Delivery scheduled for tomorrow apparently...
Not sure if this applies to anyone else - I didn't read the confirmation email I originally received from Spotify from the OP's link and that this was a further link to a 'purchase' page that needed completing to actually buy the device.
I've now done that...
Mine arrived yesterday. Sound is very good for a small device, quite impressed.
Mine arrived yesterday, but not done anymore than take it out of the box.
It's a nicer made bit of kit than it looks on a screen.
We've got an Audio Pro T5 speaker in the bedroom hooked up to a Chromecast Audio.
Looking online, it might be able to hook this up to the Home Mini via Bluetooth, so we can get the voice command stuff working on that speaker. I have my doubts it will work seamlessly, but we'll see.
After getting a Chromecast Audio for the living room at Christmas & then panic buying 3 once I heard that they were going out of production, I have only used 1 of the 3 & that one now looks like it might be redundant. There is one destined for the garage at some point, but I may have over-purchased 🙂
I've just linked mine to the Chromecast on the telly so now its:
Hey Google play cat videos on the telly
All day long! Especially when my wife is watching neighbour's 😈
It took a couple of days for my purchase link to come through. I trusted the "We will apply the discount when you checkout" and it charged me...I called Google to sort it out but it can be fixed yourself.
Turns out you need to use the same email address as your Spotify account to place the order on Googles website and get the discount. I don't really use my googlemail address for anything but it logged me in automatically. So in this situation you need to use 'Guest Checkout' and use the email address that your Spotify email arrived in, when you do this you should see the -£49 discount before you have to confirm payment.
If you've already been charged, you have around an hour to cancel the order, and you need to paste the Spotify purchase link into an incognito or privacy window to avoid the browser confusing itself with your earlier purchase.
So...just to update with linking to a larger speaker...upon first set-up it asked what speaker i wanted to use as default with all the connected speakers in the house listed. I chose the speaker in the bedroom and that's that. It seems to 'just work'.
I guess the Home Mini is receiving the requests and sending the streaming stuff to the Chromecast Audio plugged into that speaker.
Forgot to say thanks for this, also Google Store have discounts on the Hub, Home, Mini and Max speakers at the moment!
RM.
I pay 9.99 a month, when I click on the link it’s asking me for my bank details. If I fill them in does my payment go up to £14.99 and they just send me a speaker out?
Really impressed with mine, even at level 4 plenty loud enough
