Stay away from it until they get the issues fixed. I can see myself loving it as the hardware and the sound is extremely robust, but the 40 second power on, the 10-15 minute auto power off, the constant drain by powering the speaker, lack of ability to keep itself running when plugged in, it needs work. I love it as a speaker, seriously JAM can do next to no wrong there. I can see myself loving it as an Alexa accessing device, but that’s going to require a firmware update, and I do not have any information of a timeframe or that they are going to do that.

great small speaker that puts out great sound and great price for being able to get Alexa without the huge price tag and small enough to not take up a lot of room on an end table

Friend previously had a speaker of the same brand that went out all of a sudden so we bought her a new one. We thought this one should be nicer than her last being that her job revolves around music (dance coach). This one is Alexa enabled so she can ask it to play a song instead of having all her girls fighting over a device to play one...score! Plus she said it's 3 times louder than her last speaker and it has a warranty in case this one goes out like the last one. I Only gave it 4 stars because I don't own it and don't see it used every single time.

Bought this speaker for my 2 young children as they like to ask Alexa to do things. It takes a long time to connect to wifi after turning on. Shuts off after short period of time. Even when plugged into outlet, only stays on for short time before auto shutoff. So basically everytime you want to access speaker you have to turn it on and wait. The sound quality is barely acceptable but not unexpected based on price.

I purchased to take to outside gatherings. Really nice sound and oh so easy to use
