Packaging: Shipped in Amazon box. The product was packed tightly in a branded blue and white Amazon container. Contents only included the device itself, a charger, and directions.
Product Impressions: It's super cool you can set up the device beforehand on the Amazon app or online on a webpage. On a basic level, this can simply be a alarm clock which I tested and worked perfectly with the Alexa app on my iPhone. I am a security guy and like my privacy, I love how easy it is to turn off the microphone by the press of one button on the device so it cannot listen to me anymore. On the other hand, I did play around with the app more in depth and with the device itself and found the settings to be pretty deep but also fun. I set up fun routines so that when I wake up, it tells me the weather, the traffic, chances of rain, etc. along with custom messages like, "here is today's forecast" and such. The device is pretty customizable on the app but I wish it did have more clock faces for how much I paid for it. My biggest gripe with the device is: No power=No alarm. So if the power goes out in the night and doesn't come back on by the time I wake up, I will not have an alarm. Granted this happens rarely, just wanted to point it out. The speaker is fine for a 1.5 inch however don't expect quality sound. It sounds like a JBL handheld speaker if that helps.
Usability: So many fun settings to customize for all fun tech people! You can even make it private and turn off A LOT of functionality for privacy if that matters most.
Overall Thoughts: Price is kinda high but it's super fun and I love playing around with it with custom queries! I hope future models will include areas to put batteries in case of power outage.
