The Alexa is not good either my Echo Dot can hear me better than this giant brick.

spent way to much time trying to get alexa to work with it

Without wifi, Alexa feature does NOT work.

Alexa is spotty at

i like having Alexa and a speaker in one

When it did work, Alexa seemed to be much slower than Amazon branded speakers, however I could have dealt with that

But at the highest volume levels, there is a constant electronic hiss when Alexa is silent but still active

(Lame!)- WiFi connectivity is spotty at best so playback will randomly cut out or completely stop- Alexa mic sensitivity not nearly as good as Echo (frequently repeating & shouting commands)- No 3.5mm aux input
