Should had bought this years ago. It’s annoying to have to connect the cable to the speaker.

The Bose Portable Home Speaker can be used both as a portable Bluetooth speaker and as an always-on smart speaker with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant--but if you do plan to use it as a smart speaker charging it twice a day doesn't really make much sense. Yes, you could just keep it plugged into a wall outlet 24 hours a day but that would make the Bose Portable Home Speaker both a whole lot less portable and also less versatile. With this charging base, you can simply pick up the speaker by its handle whenever you want to use it as a portable Bluetooth speaker in a different room or outside your home and then when done just return the speaker, disconnect your Bluetooth audio device and the Bose Portable Home Speaker automatically turns back into a full-time smart speaker again. The base is so unobtrusive it actually looks like part of the speaker. Since it just needs to rest on the cradle and there are no pins to line up the speaker can face in any direction making the charging cradle extremely easy to use. It's also pretty reasonably priced for an official Bose product accessory but that's probably because it's such a must-have it really should have been included in the package with the speaker in the first place. If you already have the Bose Portable Home Speaker this accessory is a complete no-brainer and the only way to take full-advantage of that expensive speaker.

It was a gift for my husband for charging his bosse speaker. He is using it and is quite pleased with it.

I love the idea of a cradle charging station for my Bose speaker. I love my speaker. I Hate that it did notcome with a cable just for the charging station. Why not ? if it costs that much more, include it and raise the price. That is the right way to do business. Bose, I love your products, but you broke my heart this time.

Perfect for my Smart Speaker!

I wanted the convenience of just dropping the speaker on the cradle. got it, plugged it in and it just works...like what i expect from Bose

Yes, Bose missed the boat once again by selling the docking station separately but, it's what they do. Kinda like Apple but German. The charging port was taking a beating and felt loose after only a few uses. Having a docking station solves this problem and lengthens the life of a potential charging port failure. Buy it and pretend that it came with the speaker - for $29, you won't regret it.
