There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I also bought a "Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini." At the time I could only find the Alexa I wanted in this bundle. I have not used this smart plug yet. Which brings me to my point: I am sure I have only scratched the surface as to what the Alex can do. (I think this review would have been more informative if I had the Alexa for a few months or even a year.)
We do like the digital display on the front of this Alexa. I think it can display things other than the time (such as outdoor temperature) although I have not tried this.
No security concerns at this point .... at least none that we know of.
Set up was easy. One thing I have done that may interest potential users is that I easily had Alexa play music through my Bose Solo soundbar. The set up was easy and subsequent Bluetooth connections to the Bose have been very easy. Very pleased by this aspect of the device. (This is NOT to say that the sound quality of the Alexa is less than expected. Not that we are audiophiles or anything, but we are very happy with the sound quality of the Alexa.)
That's about it for now. Much more to learn as time goes on.
