    I wish you can use these as kind of a audio soundbar / surround sound. Maybe in the future..

    This product definitely exceeded my expectations. Very easy to set up and has great connectivity. My child was able to set it up, and connected the Assistant to a TV set and smart lightbulb.

    If you're trying to decide between this and Amazon echo, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're an Android household that likes to listen to music, this is going to be the best one. If you're just looking for a good digital assistant for your whole home, I think that the echo has this beat.

    Easy set-up, but not as easy to use as Amazon echo. Speaker has a lot of static. Not a problem with Echo.

    I tried to use this smart speaker to simply play Spotify. Unfortunately, the speaker couldn’t even accomplish that simple task. The music would constantly stop playing, as if buffering, then resume randomly. I could play Spotify fine on every other device in my home. I tried resetting, re installing, updating, etc. to no avail. I would not recommend.
