Amazon Prime Day 2019 (15th & 16th)

Soarer

Had the same problem.

Was ordering a remote control car for the kid, and shipping wasn't an issue.
But I couldn't add spare batteries to the order as they wouldn't ship!

I guess I just don't want new old stuff.

this amazon prime day is muck

It's been awful for years. The only decent discounts are on Amazon devices, if you're looking for one anyway.

Every time it's just junk, USB cables and earphones. They always build it up so much too as if they're going to have good offers.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a reliable, relatively cheap, internal SSD of a minimum 1TB capacity?

one for 78 looks like samsung knock off :cool: sandisk, or check samsung evo older model 100+ but worth it really- was on deal yesterday but still on same price today.

Junior wants a Nintendo Switch for his birthday next week. Are the prices I am seeing today on amazon.co.uk eg. £280, good prices?

Anybody know which bundle is best value?

Best bundles with Mario Kart / Zelda etc were up yesterday and gone now.

£289 with Mario Rabids / Just Dance & £30 credit is the best left now

Gamestop have a similar bundle offer going for Console /1 Game /€35 credit for €330 - but the games offered are all pretty crap tbh

Instant Pot deal at £69.99 is brilliant.

I bought it a couple of years ago at £99 and it's used here almost every day for something. Best gadget I ever bought.

I'm on the search for a good power bank for an iPhone 7 plus. Something easy to carry that'll keep me charged for a few days of video work. If anyone's seen anything, let me know. I'd appreciate it!

For those wanting Ring Doorbells

Ring 2 £119.00

Ring Pro £149.00

Do I need one of these? How useful do others find it? Easy set up? - do you have to install a camera above door or is it built into the buzzer?

Have a front door and a side door, people come to both. So would have to decide which door to place it on.

It's pretty easy installed and setup. You install it at about chest height to get a full view upwards of the face of the caller. The Ring 1 is battery powered so has no need of power, you bring it in and charge it every few months

Mixed review esp on lag between ringing and viewing, not a patch on nest doorbell but they cost a lot more

Few great deals on WD storage, not sure if that helps. 20TB at £333 consisting of 2 x 10TB Red drives. Retail on those drives alone is around 300£ each.

That looks the business alright, couldn’t resist at that price. Never owned a pressure cooker before so I guess there’ll be a bit of a learning curve to get the most out of it?

Lads another £5 promo on watching prime video for 5 mins...

There's a bit of a learning curve alright, but there's a HUGE amount of recipes and info online - a Facebook group too with lots of help. I know there are gadgets people buy that get relegated to cupboards and never see the light of day, but this is not one of them.

I couldn't resist either and bought a second one there now :eek: I make yogurt in it regularly, which ties it up for about 8 hours - that's my excuse to the OH. Risotto is absolutely fabulous out of it and you can even cook a whole chicken from frozen. I could go on ... but you'd think I had shares in it if I did (wish I had!)

Agreed. The lag made it pointless for me and the battery would only last a short time.

Great advertisement for the product, it must be said.

Looking forward to this delivery, I’d make pots of chili and ale stews all year round no matter the weather, so I reckon I’ll get great use out of this and it won’t heat the place up as much. Probably wouldn’t have even seen this deal if you hadn’t posted it, so cheers for that.

Got paid today and now in catch up mode.

Can someone please collate the ways to get free credit? Re the £8 free for £80 top up, if I top up by 240 in one go, do I get 24 or do I have to go 3 separate deposits?
