    Good

    Overall, I am a fan. I saved a lot of money, and it has great features. I wish there was a way to completely shut off Bluetooth. The sound is good, at 90% you get plenty of volume and bass without the risk of blowing a speaker. I thought this was going to be too big on my nightstand, but I was wrong, it fits nicely. Google assistant needs to be more customizable, but this isn't the device's fault (its google's). Good alarm and I like that this device has a rechargeable battery for mobile use or for when you have an alarm on and the power goes off in the middle of the night.

    Either out dated Google Assistant or limited due to being a "smart speaker". No support for routines, or hands free calling. Will be returning.

    The connectivity was terrible. Even with my phone right next to it, the Bluetooth would go out and not stay connected. I wouldn't call it portable.

    Delayed responses, music constantly cuts out, more frustrating than useful. Buy a Google home mini and save yourself the headache.

    Purchased primarily to function as backup alarm clock. Can’t get it to even set the alarm. Google assist with voice commands tells me alarm is set. Then she says there’s a glitch and cancels it. I’m sure issue is related to my lack of basic technology skills. Seems like it shouldn’t be so complicated. Way too much time spent troubleshooting and still cannot even set an alarm. Bummed. Worthless item for me.

      Hi ali845,

      As you mention, this speaker needs a Wi-fi connection to complete the first time set up steps. This is because the set up is done through the Google Home app.

      If you have more questions regarding your unit, please visit our webpage or contact us at 877-467-4289 where one of our agents will be more than happy to assist you.

    NOT TRUE BLUETOOTH...

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    MUST use internet service thru a computer not just a phone to download program in order to just set up to use BLUETOOTH with your phone.. Yes portable bit cumbersome. . I'd only recommend for someone with private home/office internet service (can't feed off a local provider as a guest) and space to maneuver if using for portability. Clock is extremely dim and small.
