Fun little gadget

I find that this is fun but nothing that you can't live without. You get the same services on your computer or phone but this is a bit more convenient since it is always there and always on.

I'm on the fence about this device. The main positive is that it integrates with my thermostat and doorbell, but other than that I would rather use the assistant in my phone.

The AI / voice commands works really well. Fun little gift to give. just be aware it won't work with any Amazon services and you can't stream music without a paid subscription of some kind.

Wish i did't buy this. I have 4 of these and 8 Alexas and Amazon Alexa works so much better than this. I think they even stop caring about this product.

So so app integration. It broke the cast ability of my vizio tv. All my devices started saying cast to nearby device instead of listing them. All was better when I got an alexa

This would be a great google home device if it worked with google home speaker groups. If they figure that out then I would definitely give it 5 stars.

I got this cause I really wanted to try it out. But definitely not what I expected. You can’t adjust the volume. I should have googled this item before buying it.

I got these as gifts for family. I realized I should have bought them Amazon Echo Dots instead which I figured out for myself are a lot easier to use than this device.

The fabric on the outside of the speaker gets gross if you've got pets or kids touching it. Wiping it off isn't enough and you can't remove it then wash it

it works. little more complicated to set up than Amazon Alexa. if you have Nest door bell it is the only way to get notifications throughout the home.
