Expected more from the purchase, but not the worst option.

The potential of the device is great, the first version of the nephew failed after a couple of months: a very cheap usb-c connector in the device for such money is extremely embarrassing (usb-c was soldered to power the for 20 alik).

I hope the second generation will last longer, but 's approach to hardware is simply extremely illogical, instead of adapting usb-c everywhere - half of the speakers with it, half without it.

Pros

A convenient device for controlling a smart home, extremely useful if there are small children (fairy tales, music, baby monitor, etc.)

Cons

1) Anyone who decided that the 15V barrel plug in 2022 is a great interface for a small smart speaker should be fired from . 2) The baby monitor function is an indispensable thing for kids, but for some reason it is available from the application only to the administrator, the second parent cannot listen to the child in any way (because there is only one administrator at home). Or am I doing something wrong? 3) There is no way to restrict access to Alice. You can set up voice recognition, but you can’t turn off voice recognition of unknown people / individual users 4) If there are several speakers in the house, they do not know about each other in any way, when several speakers are activated, they all respond at once. It would be logical to understand which one is closer to the speaker and use it
