Great product to buy!
I’m in love with the product!! The quality of it is amazing, I love the fact that I can call my kids on this and it rings through out the house if you have other Alexa devices it’s says call from your mother lol so they know to pick up and it’s a FaceTime like I can see what they are doing! They have phones but it’s not always that they can hear their phones ringing so this is an added security for me when I’m away from home and they are home. I love the volume control that it has, the built in speaker is very durable, the appearance is also pleasing! I purchased this and a ring camera on sale around Black Friday and I’m very pleased with this product and it was a great value!
