Xiaomi Mi Smart Speaker $49 @ Kmart

1470

Down from $69 (nice) to $49 (nicer).
I've got a few around the house already.
Big improvement over Google mini, not quite up to Sonos 1. Build quality good. Blah blah.

At this price just get it, you won't be disappointed.
Stock running low in most places.

      Buying something from a non-Chinese company that uses cheap chinese labour (like Lego you mentioned) is different to buying something from a chinese ccp owned company.

        come on man how come all chinese owend companies are ccp owned…I only choose made in USA for my kitchen appliance as I trust the quality of Kitchenaid.
        I choose Chinese made robrock as my vacumm rob as it can give me a better result with a cheaper price. I use Korean made Smarthings as my homehub but all the sensors are Chinese made Xiaomi.

          Not all of their appliances are made in the USA.
          Some are made in Canada and others are made in China.

      Most products listed on ozbargain will be made in china. Unfortunately Aussie made will be twice the price for the same quality.

        Facts right here. Might even be more than double the cost.

      • +1

        Potentially less quality too

  • Does anyone know if this sounds okay?

  • Checked SA and could only see 1 available at Marion.

    Is this the same one ?

      Having 1 in stock could mean it is the display model which they will not sell.

        what does "display model" even mean, this is an online shop lol

          what does "display model" even mean

          A display model is an item that has been previously displayed/handled within a storefront. It is usually put on display so people can touch and see the item before they buy it. Sometimes these devices are functional so that consumers can see the device in operation.

          this is an online shop lol

    • Shows in stock in TTP while I happened to be there today but didn't see it. Can't choose pick-up from that store either

  • What's the battery backup or is it wired for power?

    • wired

    Ordered canceled and refunded for click n collect. Trying my luck at another store.

  • Question:
    I don’t have hey Google, nest or even apples version.
    All I have is Google chrome tv.

    Can someone educate me into these.
    Do I need something else, or can these be used alone as a voice activated speaker.
    Cheers

    • As long as you have a Google account you can link the speaker to that so that you have a voice activated speaker.

    Kmart Melbourne CBD canceled my order. Went to Kmart Brunswick Got last one. They had it at customer service counter.

    What brand is that? Is it another Anko junk?

      There's a pretty good giveaway in the deal title

    I avoid any BlueTooth speaker with "assistants"

    if Kmart wanted they could have sold something similar without it then it would have been fine but as is its a pass from me

    easier to get the BlueTooth speaker from IKEA

    Just drove to Kmart at Roselands and picked up one about an hour ago.

    They still have about 7 or 8 units on the shelf after I purchased mine.

    Hope it helps.

    Jeez the comments on this post are grim even by ozbargain standards

  • FWIW, I ordered this from my local store (listed as in stock), but they cancelled my order ~12 hours later. Cool.

  • Been running mine for the last few days. Great speaker for the price and integrates well for multi room audio.

      China are tapping you though. All part of the plan. I won't be fooled!

      • Joke's on them if they want to spend their time listening to kids and their songs!

  • I'm sure many of us have seen this before when something funny gets shared on a chinese made device. But here it is again just for kicks.
