You're using your Alexa wrong! Experts reveal where it SHOULD go

Millions of people around the world own some kind of voice assistant to help them put together shopping lists, play music, set reminders and more. The most popular of these ever-listening devices is the Amazon Echo, often referred to as'Alexa', as this is how it prefers to be addressed. When you set up a smart device like this, the only real requirement is that it needs to be near a plug socket, so users rarely put more thought into its location than that. However, since the Alexa was first released in 2014, users have learnt that some popular places reduce its ability to hear your voice, or put it in danger of damage. MailOnline reveals the worst places to keep your Echo smart assistant, and where you should move it to instead.
