    As others have pointed out, it took a second to get it set up... but it was worth it. It's fun to watch the kids interact with Ellie without any prompting or needing instructions, the whole thing is light, fun and incredibly intuitive. Def a new kind of toy!

      Hi Nate, I’m really sorry for how disappointing this experience was, especially for your kids.

      The repeated Wi-Fi disconnects you described were part of a temporary connectivity issue that affected some customers during a period of unusually high demand. That issue has since been fully resolved, and Imagix should now stay connected and respond normally. This was not a hardware defect.

      Regarding the questions your kids asked, Imagix is designed with age-appropriate guardrails, but we understand how frustrating it can be when those responses feel overly restrictive. That feedback is helpful, and we continue refining how questions are handled so the experience feels more natural and engaging.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback, it helps us improve.

    Amazing product and features, love how interactive Elli & Ember are, my daughters are obsessed! Takes a little while to setup but once you do the magic begins!! It's great to see my kids interacting and communicating vs having their heads buried in iPad screens.

    I’m very tech-savvy and tested this device on two separate internet providers (Spectrum mesh and AT&T Fiber). Despite a successful Wi-Fi association, the device repeatedly fails to complete setup or maintain an internet connection. Returning both units. At $200, we should plug in, connect, and be delighted. That did not happen. Thank God this wasn't the only Christmas present.

      Hi Generalhove, I’m really sorry for how disappointing this experience was, especially after the time and effort you put into testing across multiple networks. At this price point, you’re absolutely right to expect setup to be straightforward and reliable.

      What you encountered was part of a temporary setup and connectivity issue that affected some customers during an unusually high surge in new devices coming online around the holidays. During that window, devices could associate with Wi-Fi but fail to maintain a stable internet connection or complete setup. That issue has since been fully resolved, and devices are now setting up and staying connected normally. This was not related to hardware or local network configuration.

      We’d genuinely welcome the opportunity to help you experience the product as intended. If you’re open to it before completing the return, please reach out to us at [email protected],or chat us at myimagix.com, and our team would be happy to assist you directly.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re grateful you took the time to let us know.

      We’re really sorry to hear this, and we understand how disappointing that must have been, especially right after Christmas.

      During the holiday period, we experienced a temporary server issue that affected connectivity for some families. That problem has since been fully resolved, and we’ve made stability and performance improvements to prevent a repeat.

      We genuinely wish we’d had the chance to help while you still had the unit. If you’re open to revisiting it or just want to talk through what went wrong, our team is happy to help or discuss next steps:

      Hi BestBuyit, I’m really sorry for how frustrating this experience was, especially after spending so much time trying to get through setup.

      What you ran into was part of a temporary setup and connectivity issue that affected some customers during an unusually high surge around the holidays. During that window, devices could connect and then disconnect or freeze mid-setup. That issue has since been fully resolved, and setup and connectivity are now working normally. This was not a hardware defect.

      If you’re open to it before completing the return, we’d appreciate the chance to help you get everything working as intended. Please reach out to us at [email protected], or chat us on our website, and our team will assist you directly.

      Hi MandiMay102, thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m sorry it took until after Christmas to get things working.

      The hearing and freezing issues you noticed were part of a temporary setup and connectivity problem that affected some customers during a period of unusually high demand. That issue has since been fully resolved, and Imagix should now respond more reliably and operate without freezing. This wasn’t related to a hardware defect.

      If you’re still seeing any issues, we’d really like to help make sure everything is working as intended. Please reach out to us at [email protected], or on our website myimagix.com, and our team will be happy to assist you directly.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.
