    Hard to set up, almost impossible to set up two or more using the same phone and app, had to set up the second one using another phone. Amazon Echo is much better.

    The clock stayed in load mode and I could never get it setup. After 3 reset attempts and waiting more than 24 hours for it to complete the firmware update I decided to return it for a refund.

    I bought one a week back and had a hard time setting it up. After several attempts I managed to program the speaker. This one will not go out of the load status, turn off or restart. Bad software. They need to fix the software issues

    Better Sound Quality Than Google Home But-

    The setup was easy and the Voice was working within a minute or two. The microphone must be more sensitive than the Google Home since it beats the Home to responding to my voice even when I am actually closer to the Home when sitting at my desk. The sound quality is pretty nice for something of this size and price range. I was surprised that it won't make voice calls like the Home. The bluetooth and alarm clock features are great, though I am one of the people who doesn't like a clock to be in my range of vision at night, so I positioned it so the light from the clock's display isn't "aimed" at me in bed. I like asking it what time it is without having to look at it, though the other home assistants will also do that. It's priced right. Hopefully the calling features will be added with software updates.

    I tried the same device twice thinking maybe the first one was just bad. It wouldn't set up, wouldn't link, showed no devices found. I went to Insignias website and they couldn't help me either. I was doing everything right.

    We bought 2 of these for our kids to put in their rooms and we were so excited about them. Unfortunately, the alarms wouldn't work and it appears that the software would not update making it not work with Google Assistant.

    Just like other Insignia products I have bought, they just stop working for sometime. I even wonder why I keep buying their products, probably because it is low priced and cost more in the long term. Sad!

    Nice little speaker

    This Insignia Google Assistant speaker really surprised me. I wasn't expecting much out of it but, the sound quality is actually pretty good. Don't expect Hi-Fi quality sound but, for a low cost speaker I really think they did well, I would definitely put it on par with the rest of the other Google Assistant speakers out there in the same price range. The Google Assistant features work just like they do on any other Google Assistant speaker. If you are familiar at all with that you'll be able to pick this right up. If you haven't used Google Assistant before, it's easy to use and extremely useful. The Bluetooth also works well, just like any other Bluetooth speaker, if you'd rather pass music from your phone rather than casting using Chromecast. What I really think differentiates this speaker is the little things that make it perfect for a bedside table. The built-in clock is bright and easy to read. It's compact enough to stay out of the way, and there's also even a USB port for charging your phone! It may not be much but, not having to reach behind the bed to unplug my charger is awesome. Overall great product, if you're in the market for one of these kinds of speakers, I think this is a great option.

    First week was good, Got responses on the slightest "hey Google" from two rooms away. Now, it doesn't respond at all even 10 inches away. This is a TRASH product. I thought it was just one, but I purchased two.

    I bought 3, one for each of my children's room and they all stopped working around the same time. The warranty was not honored. This was definitely a complete waste of money.

    The appearance and concept of this device is nice but it's a Google Home device with a clock. The manual is not useful. Day 1, it failed because the WiFi went down and 3 days later I woke up to flashing clock.
