NINETY7 VAUX

Once you get used to having Alexa in your life, it’s easy to get into the habit of asking her everything – even when you’re nowhere near your Echo. Alexa, would I like fries with that? Do I need a bag? Would you please call me an ambulance? The problem: Echos need plugging in. Instead of hauling a generator around, Ninety7’s Vaux is a battery-powered vessel for your Echo Dot. Just pop the little puck in the top and connect the wires – you’ve got a portable Alexa speaker with six hours of use, plus a boost to the Dot’s tinny audio. £50 / ninety7life.com
