Buy with confidence directly from Apple:
https://www.apple.com/homepod-mini/ (United States)
https://www.apple.com/uk/homepod-mini/ (UK)
Instead of buying directly from Apple, John Lewis (UK) offers a TWO year warranty when selling Apple products (as opposed to Apple which only offers 1 year) – so you might find a better deal here:
