I don’t like the fact it doesn’t connect to the app, I don’t like the fact Google assistant never works, but most of all I don’t like the Bluetooth which breaks up! Apple has issues with Bluetooth too so who knows who’s at fault; all I know is JBL works fine!

Hello Benjathom, It is strange that your speaker is not connecting to the app, and having trouble with Google Assistant and Bluetooth. I would recommend trying the steps we have available below for help with the app and Google Assistant. App does not detect product: https://bose.life/3X22WPZ Google Assistant cannot carry out command: https://bose.life/3CQlvzQ Please also try factory resetting the speaker should the above not help: https://bose.life/3WWgvk1 We'd also love to help so do reach out: https://bose.life/contact Nic - Customer Support
Poor buttons

Add this speaker for a couple of years. Issues are the button identification is difficult if you have poor eye sight. Also when you run your fingers over the buttons you cannot differentiate between them. We have recently stuck a red dot on the volume up button. This is also helpful is the lights are off and what to use the volume buttons instead of asking Alexa to turn the volume down.
1 reply from Customer Support team - 19 days ago
We appreciate your feedback and understand how frustrating it can be to use the buttons, especially with limited visibility. While there aren’t built-in solutions to make them more distinguishable, your idea of adding a tactile marker is a great workaround. We’re always looking to improve, and we’ll share your experience with our team. Kind Regards, Eric V. - Customer Support

Great sound but lots of issues with the battery. I learned how to reboot it. But I need to do it all the time. If you have issues make sure to read product manual. You would think it is not necessary. But this is a small computer and it has lots of codes and blinking lights that mean different things. I read some reviews that said the speaker stopped working. They clearly did not read the manual.

I bought it as refurbished speaker but no difference from the new. I'm encouraging everybody to do the same because the sound quality is same no dent or scratches or any technical issues. And most important you saving the planet.

For the price, it's not that good. It is tough and does what it's supposed to do, but it sounds really bad and distorted at high volumes. At lower volumes, it does sound really good. I am always fighting with it over the wifi too, constantly having to reset the whole thing. I would not buy it again.
Awesome single speaker solution

I’ve had this for 3 years now and it is a great speaker. Do not try to link multiple units. That function does not work well. As a single speaker though this is flawless.
Excellent product 👍🏿
