Stopped using Amazon as their delivery service has really gone utterly downhill

In the old days they were truly amazing , now they're truly abysmal

Also bought a fire stick only to find it's replicated in software on ATV and much nicer too

Couldn’t disagree with this first comment more - apples and oranges here (no pun intended). Have solved many a friends/neighbors/relatives problems with eero mesh systems. (And easier for me to “support”. Will absolutely pick up another set at this price - don’t even know whose problem it will solve yet. But it won’t go unused.
OK, I may have overgeneralized. Some of these products are surely nicer and more useful than others. I was mostly talking about the echo and fire devices. Either way, on principal, I personally still wouldn’t use eero or ring devices even for free. Case in point, I actually stopped using my Roomba the day I heard Amazon bought them. The company is becoming scummier by the second, and their online marketplace has gone from innovative and disruptive to trashy and deceptive.
