Facebook Portal Mini - Smart Video Calling 8” Touch Screen Display with Alexa - White

I bought a pair of these to communicate with my daughter and grandson who live far away from me. We have been using these regularly for the last month or so, and it feels like theyre in the same room with me. Its so nice to just set it on the counter and have it follow your movements around the room. To be honest, I havent used the Alexa portion of it, but this nails it on the video calls. It will sound corny, but this really has improved our family closeness in a way a smartphone just doesnt match.

For over $100, I expected it to last longer than 5 months! We only used it a few times. It was really nice when we used it, but then it just died unexpectedly. No symptoms, just wouldn’t turn on at all and the Amazon window for support said it closed about a week before. Not even 1: Year of support. If I realized that in the beginning I never would have bought it. Very shoddy.

i love this thing. My daughter and I can visit all day if we wanted

This item arrived late, was clearly used by someone else as it had been wrapped so poorly in the box. When we attempted to try to get it to work it didnt function at all. I turned on and then gave us a bunch or error messages.

Once again second portal doesnt work

Unable to face time after one month and unable to use the product.

Good

A lot of use for it. Must have in each family

I bought two, one for my girlfriend. Overall, it’s really a good product for video chatting compared to other products at the same price level. I also like how it works with Alexa seamlessly.

I like being able to see family during the call, interface is great. Connections get lost. I have two, and use each for two cell numbers, need to reconnect and reset periodically. Wish it were less coupled to facebook.
