Why doesn’t anyone offer smart speakers (Amazon, Google, Apple) for free rental for a week or two? It’s quite hard to break them, and you can include high reliability in the contract with no wear and tear, but every nth family will refuse to return them and will sign up for a loan. And those who return them will be divided into “didn’t like it, it’s rubbish” and “cool, but not ready to buy yet”. You can work with both groups later, they are clearly better than the rest of the gray mass. Half of those who took them will refuse because of laziness (the money is not significant for them, children and wife are happy, and they’re reluctant to return them).
A ready-made idea for a startup, by the way.
