A normal product, however, does not fully match the description.

The station was purchased for the new year as a gift for a 4-year-old child. An interesting thing, in principle, necessary at home. Of the benefits - recognizes the speech of a 4-year-old child! Even I don't always understand it. I wonder how Alice does it. In principle, it can communicate, turn on music, fairy tales, radio, an alarm clock, a timer, etc., etc., it probably makes no sense to repeat about all the functions. And now let's move on to the cons. The station has a children's mode. The

Pros
  • Smart, beautiful, good sound. Perfectly recognizes the words of the child!
Cons
  • Incomprehensible charging, strange operation of the child mode.

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

Buying a column is the beginning of a long journey to a smart home! I am already looking for smart light bulbs, sockets, a kettle and a vacuum cleaner

Pros
  • I bought it for myself and everyone loves it! If you are thinking to buy or not, then buy 2 at once! What I liked: + Great smart assistant + Cool design and color +LED screen with clock + Good sound + Cool app for creating smart home scenarios +Easy to install + Good discount (I took it for the new year) and cash back with points
Cons
  • What could be better: -Difference in cost between version with and without clock -Make a battery inside so that it can work without an outlet for some time

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect product for any user!

Works only from the network. For me, this is a small minus, it would be much more convenient to move around the apartment if it worked, say, from a battery.

Pros
  • My daughter asked for it for New Years. This is a super thing! It’s a pity that I didn’t buy it earlier, I considered everything useless thing) Smart, fast, loud enough. We use every day. Everything finds and recognizes perfectly the children's voice. Children play with her, listen to music and fairy tales, chat. Stylish appearance, perfectly fit into the interior. Delivery was right on time, product without damage.
Cons
  • Not

The impressions are excellent, the whole family was pleased with the purchase, thanks to , keep developing, you are doing well.

Pros
  • This is great! Well done . The result of development is obvious. Cool, smart little thing. The sound is very good and loud, the bass is rather weak, but for this little one it's normal. If someone needs power, then you are in a big version. I am very happy with the purchase and how it works. I repeat the words of previous commentators, how did I live without it before? Now Alice helps us in everything, and she will tell the weather and the time, the timer will turn on the alarm clock. I recommend to everyone to buy, ates the firmware at the request of users, takes into account the wishes. In the yard of the 21st century, it's time to enjoy all the benefits of life.
Cons
  • It is advisable to change the brightness of the clock at night, do it automatically, for example, from 23:00 to 7:00 am, reduce the brightness. I hope that the team reads these reviews.

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

Has pros: station came, everything is fine Hears perfectly, convenient speaker for interaction at home + devices from a smart home are connected Cons: The column does not immediately connect to the wifi network, but this is a trifle The second biggest problem, I couldn’t fix the connection of music from music to a speaker under one wifi, the device simply doesn’t see it, it’s not a phone, it’s not a tablet, I tried all the options and then sent the ios version and the music version to support

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

You don’t need to expect miracles from it, at the moment the functionality is simple and not intricate! For most, it's just a cool "toy" that makes life a little easier! The presence of 4 good microphones working 24/7 makes "Alice" an excellent tool for "studying public opinion" by special services in a "police state"!

Pros
  • A good gift for most! Good sound for its size! Beautiful!
Cons
  • Without a paid subscription "becomes" useless! Sometimes it hangs, it is treated with a reboot! "Special" power supply! Price! 8000, if you buy without discounts, it's expensive for the current functionality! I received it at the Post Office, it was packed simply in a bag, as a result of which 2 corners of the cardboard box were jammed! With what force it was necessary to hit to cause such damage, I can not imagine!

The product is usable, I expected a bit more.

Of course, she often lags and does not understand what we want from her, but she is pleased with the opportunity to ate her. Hope she gets better with time

Pros
  • -Good sound -No need to connect to the phone (it was important for me. I like to turn on the music and watch something on the phone at the same time) -Quick responses from the internet -Alarm clock, timer, reminders, etc. work just awesome -Smart home system (we bought additional light bulbs)
Cons
  • I would love to give 5 stars, but there are 2 huge minuses: 1. Alice independently puts dislikes on good tracks, if you don’t say “I like” during the loss, she puts dislikes even on the music that is already in my favorites on the phone. You have to shout “I like it” every 2 minutes, or come to terms with the loss of your favorite tracks 2. Doesn't connect to computer/TV. By aux, it can only output sound to other speakers, this is strange. Through the bluetooth, the adapter works for 5 minutes and turns off the bluetooth

First of all, they took a child of 10 years. Not for smart home control. Unfortunately, we have only one smart gadget so far - an air purifier, Alice turns it on and off without problems) So the child communicates with her very actively, she reads fairy tales to him, tells him about dinosaurs, sets alarms and timers, turns on music, puts likes)) cool in short)

Pros
  • Cool, it’s very unusual that a virtual mind does something for you))
Cons
  • Doesn't understand everything, but still cool)

I expected more from buying, but not the worst option.

At first, an entertaining toy. Further, you understand that this is a compromise, both in terms of sound quality and ease of use. For example, the speaker cannot be paired with other Bluetooth speakers. Although, it is possible to connect old speakers via AUX :) Also, if you have bought other smart devices that work with Alice, then this device will surely come in handy for you.

Pros
  • Embedded Alice
Cons
  • Weak sound for music playback, no built-in battery

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

A chic device, everyone falls in love with it the first time, even a child will figure it out, no problems with connecting and setting up! In general, I was inspired by for this purchase, I have been using services for a year now, behind it is the future of our 2022 Internet platform!

Pros
  • All the best is collected in this small device, great sound, if desired, you can connect via aux to your home audio system, everything works! I took my son to NG, ordered another one for myself, showed my girlfriend and her mother, they immediately fell in love with her, ordered! Disperses boredom, knows how to manage "smart devices" Now I want to assemble a smart home kit, light, heating, in general, thanks to and his minds! I advise everyone who doubts, watch the video reviews!
Cons
  • Not!

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lousy product, very low quality.

This device was promised under a subscription with a 38% discount for 339 per month, for 3 years, but after the first month the price became 549 per month, nowhere is it indicated that this is only for one month, such a lure, a divorce is pure to push the column ! And if you want to buy it right away, then bang . the cost is even more expensive, although you have already paid for it for a couple of months! Here they are pitfalls and divorce from ! They don’t write the truth right away, cold…

Pros
  • Deception all around!
Cons
  • The cost of the column is too high and without a subscription it is a useless thing, the subscription itself is just as expensive!

Two weeks have passed, the wi-fi network has been lost twice, now it is completely lit with a red indicator. I tried to reconfigure 5 times, it's useless. Support is always "top" level, there is no point in such support! The warranty claim form is just a song, the mandatory item is the device identifier, but before that you reconfigure the column, it is deleted and where to get it now .

Pros
  • Hmmmm. 1) plays music, if it can be called a virtue
Cons
  • Apparently the marriage was sent

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

There is a station Max in the room, the sound on it is wonderful! I decided to take mini to the kitchen so that cooking was not boring. Disappointed with her sound. At low frequencies there is no depth at all. It's like hitting the table with a wooden spoon. That's all Bass. By volume - (considering its size) will go (justifies the expectation) I think that for 7 thousand you can look for better options.

Pros
  • There is a screen and Alice inside well, the volume is normal for this size
Cons
  • Sound quality leaves a lot to be desired

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

In general, the speaker works, the sound is tolerable for such a small device. They write a connection to the Vink prefix, (Skill Vink) support simply ignored. Perhaps they will finish it in the future, but I think these minis are not there, they will sell new ones. Now bluetooth, it is there, but do not connect the soundbar. The application does not show which device you can connect to. But most of all I was upset by the fact that there is no connection to the voice control of the TV (Vink…

Pros
  • Made with quality.
Cons
  • There are some shortcomings, I will list in the comments.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

The first Ya station, so I wanted to buy a cheap one. I missed the Station Lite 5W sound, which is not enough for listening to music, I have experience with portable speakers. I chose her mini 2 station without a clock, because of the sound of 10W, aux to output the sound to the speakers more powerfully (when music plays through external speakers, Alice does not hear, and when she plays up to a volume of 70-80% she hears). Connects easily by following the instructions, people who do not know…

Pros
  • aux, you can connect speakers (also available in station mini 2 with a clock and station max), in station Lite and station 2, station 1st generation, station mini 1st generation they are not.
Cons
  • the power socket is round, type-c would be better

What a shame that immediately after ordering the device by subscription, the price fell. And a day later, another blow of breath: the price fell by 2 times. Just left a bad aftertaste. About the product: we planned to buy closer to New Year as a gift to my daughter (5 years old). Been asking since summer. But they took it earlier, as she was often sick, for more than two months. The column lifted her spirits. I listened to fairy tales, danced to my favorite songs, just chatted. Satisfied with…

Pros
  • Beautiful, pleasant sound, watch
Cons
  • Until I noticed

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

I took it to get acquainted with the management of a smart home and as a friend accompanying me to the kitchen. It sounds loud enough, perfectly controlled by voice and understands all commands. He clearly hears all the names of the songs, not even in 2022. Tuning is very easy, you don't need to dance with tambourines. The plans are to replenish the smart home and, as it appears on sale again, take the Max station as the main one. Thanks to the developers and ! I hope it only gets better.

Pros
  • Pretty good sound, smart home control (including xiaomi), sensitive microphones, loud, stylish
Cons
  • There seems to be no bass, the box came wrinkled (packed only in a package from in a post office). Well, the price would be lower.

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best quality, but generally not bad.

At a volume of eighty in the kitchen that is thirteen square meters in size, the quality is already not very acceptable. There is a lack of bass. Consider the price of a JBL, which can range between two and three thousand dollars. The quality of the sound is significantly improved. Here for 8,000 to 10,000 dollars. we receive quite different. I should have known better than to get the mini.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

The optimal selection for achieving your goal of becoming familiar with. Station without first purchasing either a basic or a maxi ticket. Significantly increased sound power in comparison to the earlier version. Instead of the first version, and even more so the light one, I would recommend going with this option because it is the most ideal one out of the initial official columns. In addition to that, there are some lovely stickers included:)

Pros

Cons
  • Even if the firmware is not entirely flawless and Alice may occasionally play a song even though the user requested it in a search engine or vice versa, it is encouraging to see that these issues are gradually being resolved.
