I've been a Sonos user for years (nearly a decade, thinking about it) and I was a huge fan of both the earlier Play:1 and Sonos One speakers. It's fair to say, therefore, that when I came to review the Sonos Era 100, it had a tough job on its hands to compete with the previous baby Sonos speakers.
But I've used the Era 100 smart speaker in my home for over a year – yes, we're a bit late to market with this review – and it has yet to disappoint. I still have the Sonos One, and I still use the Play:1 too, and therein lies the beauty of Sonos speakers – they have years of life in them, even after they have been succeeded, and all work together nicely.
