Does what it's meant to
Bought to help keep my heavy holdall tied down on my sportsbike and they worked as described. Unfortunately as it was a hasty purchase I didn't realise how thin or short they actually were for my actual use. Luckily I had bought 2, the other one (in black) is slightly longer which meant that they were both sufficient when used with a couple of bungees to strap down my holdall. They are quite strong. I found that they only stretch an extra few centimetres if that so make sure you check the length you need. I will need to get another thicker and longer set but these will do for light loads or in addition to using bungees.

Living up to expectations
1 of 3 found this helpful It was a choice between this and the other well known one and I chose this because of the speaker sound quality which I must say is pretty good considering its size. Nice even bass and clear treble. It also goes very loud but I find the clarity distorts slightly if I do that but it's loud enough anyway even if not on full. You tap the sides to raise/lower the volume. A long press on the side can pause/stop playback. You can also tell the AI to lower the volume by xx% or pause playback etc.
The AI (Google Assistant) is still learning and like all similar smart speakers it will take a while for you it to learn how to respond more accurately and what you can say to it to get a more accurate response. It can be a little bit frustrating having to repeat yourself a few times but I must say it seems fairly intuitive and quickly learns. More schemes are being added to it so you can add more connected gadgets. It doesn't have as many as its rival but it's slowly getting there.
You can switch off the mic on this so that's great for us security minded people. I have yet to link another speaker via bluetooth but have it linked to my Chromecasts and a cheap wifi plug with no issues at all.
I would like it if the AI could be switched to only recognising my voice and no other and possibly changing its name so that my phone and tablet don't spring to life when they hear the 'OK Google' phrase (the facilities may be there already but I haven't found them yet).
I have now started telling it good morning which will give me a rundown of my schedule and the day's news highlights. I also tell it good night and enjoy hearing it say something silly like 'good night, up the stairs to Bedfordshire' or something equally amusing. On the whole I'm glad I bought it and would consider getting another for other rooms.

Luckily I had bought 2, the other one (in reflective orange) is slightly shorter but used together they were both sufficient when also used in conjunction with a couple of bungees to strap down my holdall.
