Amazon Alexa question

When I sit in my lounge my Alexa can struggle to hear me from my kitchen

Is there a device that I can plug in my lounge so my Alexa can hear me better?

Thanks

Echo flex maybe.

We had the same problem, sometimes she would pick us up and then sometimes she wouldn't. It doesn't help when the kids are talking all the time as well, despite the fact there's an array of microphones in there. We found the best solution was to use a megaphone, ever since we picked one of those up she's heard us loud and clear every time. Would totally recommend.

Another Alexa device of any kind.

Seconded.

Just buy an Echo Dot for the lounge.

This is surely the most straightforward solution?
