Type of review

In general, I am satisfied with the quality of work and Alice's skills. Controls smart home gadgets (turns on and off the light in the rooms, the socket and controls the kettle and smart vacuum cleaner), quickly finds the necessary answers on the network, turns on the music. An excellent voice assistant, it will prompt and remind you of the need to perform this or that action in time.

Pros
  • Quality materials and ease of operation
Cons
  • If only it were mobile :)

I bought a smart speaker for my parents as a gift. I chose the Station Mini because of its compactness. The fact is that parents every week go from an apartment to a country house, and back. First, I set up a speaker in an apartment and in a country house. Alice was supposed to remember the network settings in both places. In fact, it turned out that the column itself could not access the Internet after returning to the apartment where it was already. Says there is no internet connection. I…

Pros
  • Remembers musical preferences. Reads news from preconfigured sources. You can chat with her.
Cons
  • Every time you move, you need to set it up via the app.

Great product, best quality.

Has some pros: He tells fairy tales to children, recognizes all family members by voice and puts music according to their preferences. Has cons: Works only from the network (not wireless, you can’t take it with you for a walk / picnic). Seems quiet.

Generally speaking, Alice is a good assistant, but still there are gaps in the algorithms, but not critical, so I don’t write in “shortcomings”, I think they will fix it. Specifically: it doesn’t recognize which specific podcast and from what date I want to listen, I would also like to receive an answer to the question “what were the last 5 podcasts on the Z channel”. Well, he doesn’t answer political questions, but although if you ask the right question, the answer will be very interesting (I…

Pros
  • Software, sound, functionality, workmanship. Easy to use, easy to connect smart home devices.
Cons
  • 7-8k is expensive. I took it for 4k - its red price, given that the full functionality is available by subscription.

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I can’t speak about other impressions, I want to try to continue the settings around the house . I haven’t figured it out yet . Has some pros: As for me, it's a great thing. I live alone, I now have a companion. He quickly finds what I ask for. Very polite and pleasant companion)))) It has a fairly loud sound, I can hear it from any room . It responds immediately (even if you pronounce the word Alice casually))), you have to explain that this is not about her (as she says). The sound can be…

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Baby is fire! Before that, she was 5 years old, but she died. The same one, and much more sensitive and more interesting in terms of functions. . . Well, the clock! By the way, the clock reacts to the polarity of the connection to the outlet. . . It seems that alternating current has no polarity . In short, if the clock does not show all the time, you need to stupidly turn the adapter in the socket by 180. Gadgets, such as a light sensor, also pleased. The baby monitor is great! Fully…

Pros
  • Works.
Cons
  • For me - no.

Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

With its pros: the sound is not bad, it’s enough for a small room) There are many functions such as an alarm clock, online radio and any such topic) there is AUX and you can quickly pick it up via bluetooth. I liked the definition of the user by voice with his playlist, but he still confuses the children. Has cons: The wire at the power supply in the area of ​​​​the connector broke after a month and a half . no, seriously, the children each transfer to their room once every couple of days . som

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Bought as a gift, cool device for a variety of purposes. Personally, I use the alarm clock/reminders/notes every day. We listen to music with the whole family (he recognizes by his voice), though not in all rooms is heard (we feel sorry for the neighbors). The younger ones often bombard Alice with questions, they almost always answer, but if they really confuse the question, they start swearing) The morning show is a separate love, it turns on according to the script right after the alarm…

Pros
  • Appearance, functionality, sound quality
Cons
  • It is necessary to simplify requests, sometimes it does not finish the connection

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I specifically took in such an elegant, not pop color "red garnet". Technically, Stations Mini 2 of different colors do not differ from each other (unlike Light Stations). But this particular color is as elegant as red wine! This influenced my choice. The question "with or without a clock - I didn’t even ask myself: the difference in cost is not so significant, and the functionality of the clock is much nicer than its absence. Some users complain about the low volume of the audio output. I…

Pros
  • Wonderful station with voice assistant Alice. The version with a clock is better: it more clearly shows what state the device is in. Alice perfectly hears from Station Mini 2 with its four microphones even a quiet voice nearby. The volume of the Station, being set to 99 (the number 100 is simply not shown on the display), allows the neighbors in the panel house to listen to it! ))). Display. In new versions of the Station software, Alice can turn it off at the request of the user. And to reduce (or not to reduce - it depends on the settings) - automatically according to the illumination (I saw it myself!). Sound quality: Own sound - on top. Better than the Mini of the previous version. More intense and deeper. And the Station of this version can adapt itself to the environment. There will be one sound picture against the wall and another in the middle of the room. Pleasant sensations and leaves the body fabric: pleasant, slightly velvety to the touch. There is only one physical button: On / Off. microphones. The other three are sensory. The sensor liked the versatility. If Alice does not understand in her voice that you want to listen to the previous chapter of the audiobook again, then you can scroll with a simple movement of your fingers from [+] to [-]. If you are too lazy to speak, or at a particular moment it is unacceptable, you control from the top panel of Station Mini 2. Equipment. Only what you need: Station, Power adapter, quick start guide, luxury box matching the color of the device with pockets for instructions and supporting documentation inside. A nice bonus: a set of stickers on the theme of Station Mini 2, Music and Alice included. The adapter cord is quite long, thick and has clips to prevent twisting. Support: ates come in a timely manner and often bring new functionality, as Alice mentions from time to time in the "Also now I can." prompts. ates are installed late at night. I noticed about 3 hours Hong Kong time. After rebooting (if necessary), the Station will continue playing from the point at which it rebooted.
Cons
  • The first and most noticeable for me, as an IT admin, is the lack of the ability to configure / restart / turn off the Station through the Web interface, like a router (or through an application on any PC, as is done on MikroTik). Not only on smartphone/tablet. Second: indeed, it would be time to build the "House with Alice" application under Windows as well. And then I had to initially take a smartphone from my mother in order to bring her into the infrastructure! Well, or a voice dialogue with Alice. The third (for me, for the same, first, insignificant reason, because almost all the devices that I have work this way) is the power source: Station Mini 2 requires more power, which is why the adapter for it is its own, stronger, but with its own round plug. The people who tried the first Mini with its Type-C don't like it. The inhabitants explain simply: well, how will the adapter burn out, where can I get it ?

Great product, best quality.

I thought about buying for a long time, looking at the max speaker because of the sound. But I bought a mini to try out the functionality. Mini perfectly connects with other acoustics and the issue of volume and purity of sound is thus resolved. Children, wife and parents are delighted. They had fun all evenings without fading interest. Now I want to try out some of the smart home things and their interaction with Alice. The call mode to the speaker turned out to be especially useful to us.

Pros
  • A smart speaker with alice is suitable for people of any age. Everyone will find those functions that will be of interest to him. Features are constantly being added and edited
Cons
  • Sometimes does not recognize commands during games

To be honest, I am very disappointed with services, I bought the station purely for the sake of a subscription. Because I used to use music in the car for 199r, and then decided to change something and now the subscription has become 299. I accidentally saw an advertisement that you can issue a mini station plus a subscription for 299. Which I actually did. Now 299 plus 339 for a station with a subscription is debited from me. Sheer deception. Wrote in support there can not answer at all. In

Cons
  • Limited features, little functionality, bad sound

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

a very useful voice assistant, especially for those who live alone. Different pros: not stupid, nice, ergonomic and looks decent. weighty in a positive way. the clock also slightly complements the functionality and interior in the room, in fact, it is not only a clock, but also Alice’s emotions in places, and just an indicator, and jumping ladders like an oscillogram, according to her own feelings, she loses herself without a clock. volume and bass seem to be enough, within the room for sure…

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Initially, we bought a Light column for testing a year ago - the whole family liked the device, the children dragged it around their rooms vying with each other, listening to Fairy Tales and music))) eventually left it in the kitchen to listen to the radio and news, set the timer. During evening gatherings with friends, an indispensable assistant is a column with Alice))) and for the New Year we bought a second mini column for our eldest daughter. So she is delighted - the mini speaker is…

Pros
  • A very handy device. It is very easy to set up through the app.
Cons
  • Not found!

I will never make this purchase again.

Good stuff, good sound, cool design. But at the same time, the sticks that for some reason specially inserts into the wheels are extremely frustrating. When buying such a seemingly cool and not the cheapest thing, you expect to have fun within the declared characteristics, but in fact this pleasure is spoiled by some strange and certainly not necessary features, which at some point turns use into real flour.

Pros
  • Not a bad sound, the clock is beautiful, the ability to talk in a whisper. I began to listen to more music and enjoy special songs for falling asleep)
Cons
  • Dancing with a tambourine when connected (at the dacha with an access point from a mobile phone. At home with a stationary Wi-Fi, the norms were connected), the inability to configure via Bluetooth, although such a function is declared, forcing to turn on (!) Locations in order to connect (!) to wi-fi. Inability to connect to Bluetooth if the speaker has not been connected to the Internet before. The alarm clock often does not include the music that was requested. . Reduced to one. With all the pluses, the setting continues to finish off. Changing the password in the account killed two columns. It is simply impossible to set up again according to the instructions that the column speaks with a voice. It is also impossible to set up according to the instructions on the site. An attempt to set up from the application with the command "Alice, set up the column" does not lead to ANY result, the application reports that something is "opening" and that's it! an application running on the Internet says that I, it turns out, is not connected to it! Support does not work from midnight to six in the morning (MSK). Taking into account the fact that it is at this time that I am at home, I feel that I still have a long time to go to the column just as a decoration. For such an attitude of manufacturers to the consumer, I would like to lower the rating below zero, it's a pity it's impossible.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Compact and looks good. Has pros: Stands in the kitchen and helps a lot. When cooking, you can ask to set a timer so as not to forget to pull out of the oven or throw the ingredients into the dish on time. You can set several timers at once. You can connect the speaker to your phone via bluetooth, while eating it's good to watch YouTube or TV shows. It is convenient to ask the weather forecast or turn off the lights in the kitchen. Cons: Sometimes, extremely rarely, there are interruptions in…

My daughter saw the station at her friends' place, naturally she also wanted it for herself. But we did not need a large station, so we took the Mini. Got it at a good discount. Daughter 3.6 g constantly turns on music and dances to herself. I am glad that the phone has finally passed its authority (before that, it included music from it). Although there is no smart home technology yet, but a useful thing!))

Pros
  • Small but loud and useful
Cons
  • Sometimes it doesn't catch wi-fi in the kitchen, although the distance from the router (standing in the corridor) is small.

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

is often accused of copying other people's ideas, but I've never seen them copied properly, often lacking the most elementary and useful functions. But I am not disappointed in the purchase, Alice makes me happy, despite the roughness. With its pros: My first voice assistant, simple tasks are really sometimes much more convenient to delegate by voice than through some interfaces. I like her selection of IT humor, I don’t know if this is related to the analysis of my preferences, or the program…

Nothing ordinary, a normal product.

Pros: Good microphone, voice recognition. Interesting scenarios and educational programs for children. With its cons: Not autonomous, this is a huge minus. Should always be on food. If you turn it off, then immediately faint until you connect it. Does not remember more than 1 voice, which is also strange.
