Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station Mini without clock with Alice, red pomegranate, 10W by Jnis Hermanis ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

What a horrible quality, wasted money for nothing.

Nice quality, nice sound, and a cool look. However, it's very annoying when sticks are inserted into the wheels for no apparent reason. You'd think that a product that looks this good and costs this much would actually deliver on its promise of enjoyment within its stated parameters, but in practice, the inclusion of certain odd and probably unnecessary features ruins the experience and makes the product less entertaining to use than it otherwise would have been.

Pros
  • The clock has a lovely chime, and being able to whisper is a very handy skill to have. I started listening to more music and found that certain songs helped me relax and go off to sleep.
Cons
  • Tambourine-playing mobile phone dance party at the dacha's Wi-Fi hotspot. Wi-Fi hotspot at home), the impossibility to configure using Bluetooth (despite the fact that this capability is advertised), and the requirement to enable (!) Locations before connecting (!) to wi-fi. If the speaker has never been connected to the internet, it will not be able to pair with a Bluetooth device. Unfortunately, the alarm clock rarely plays the desired tune. One left standing. Despite the many benefits, the environment still isn't quite complete. Two columns were lost when the account password was changed. There is no way to reassemble the column in accordance with the voice's instructions. The website's setup instructions are likewise tough to follow. When I say "Alice, set up the column" from within the application, all I get back is a message saying that something is "opening" but nothing further has been done. It seems that I am not connected to the Internet as reported by the program operating on the server. From 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM (MSK), support is unavailable. Since I am currently at home, I believe I still have plenty of time to visit the column for the sake of aesthetics. I wish I could give a rating lower than zero to reflect the disrespectful manner in which some companies treat their customers.
