iHome Google Assistant Voice Activated Speaker in White

I LOVE my alarm clock. It was perfect for everyday use, i never really beat it up or anything but this dang wire broke after 1.5 years. Quite a disappointment also because the wire/plug will be hard to find online as a replacement, because it isn't any regular USB or USB-C style cable or something similar. I would keep this in mind and possibly find another Google Home product that doesn't wear so quickly. I was given this as a Christmas present from my parents. Also this does not hold up to scratches very well around the display because it is a very soft plastic.

Suddenly rejected my WIFI for no reason. I tried ALL suggestions provided to bring it back on board. NOTHING. This is my 4th day trying to remedy this situation. DO NOT BUY. It will become a simple paperweight.

I was disappointed in the unit. Even though there was a dimmer function for the clock display, it was still too bright at the lowest setting. It's bigger than I expected and unappealing. I did like the USB port that it had.

This speaker is amazing, it does so much! i'm very happy with my purchase! great value too!

I’ve had this smart alarm clock for over a year now and it’s so close to being really good but still has so major flaws. First off, for an alarm clock the white LEDs are way too bright. The white plastic covering it is too thin and even on the lowest dimming setting the lights are bright next to the bedside, a different color LED or outer plastic would have done the trick I think. I bought a dimming tape online to cover the lights. Also, I love the Google assistant and Chromecast built in features, and I have a few other products similar in my home, but this item has too many glitches that the others don’t seem to have. For example, I have a smart remote from Logitech to control volume, switch channels and turn on and off the TV. When saying “Okay Google, and announcing those controls through just this device, Every time it will do it then say “There was a glitch, please try again in a few seconds” every time. Which is very annoying. Also I’ve added this speaker to a group on the Google home app, and it’s the only speaker that I can’t individually control it’s volume when the speaker group is playing. I’ve factory reset this device numerous times and tried to re-add it to my Google home app, and the same glitches continue. The sound quality, the alarm clock, the general use as a smart speaker are all positives. It just seems to be lacking the software to pair with the hardware. So so close to being a really great product.

Speech recognition works very well as a good sound to it very pleased with it I can control additional items in the future

Pretty nice alarm clock, although the brightness is a bit high even at the lowest setting. It worked great for a month or two until it randomly became unresponsive one day. Power cycling didn't work - the device would either lock up immediately with nothing on the screen, or shortly after the time would show. I was able to reset the device by holding the mute button and walked through the setup again. My theory was that an automatic update may have bricked it. I don't know, but resetting didn't fix the problem. I don't have my sales receipt anymore so support won't talk to me.

I can't continue talk to it like the minis.
