iLive - Platinum Concierge Portable Smart Speaker with Alexa - Gray

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my alexa for a few yeara now and I love it so much. I sit and play my music and even find it entertaining at times when she doesnt listen. I have a friend with a similar name and whenever we are on call she starts lighting up its always a bit funny. As mad as it makes me sometimes i love my alexa and it is very useful

It worked pretty well for about a year, despite the laborious setup. I usually kept it plugged in when using, but occasionally would use it unplugged until it let me know it needed charging. The battery life was not that long, no more than a few hours. The last time I tried to charge it, the unit would keep telling me the battery was low before shutting off after only a minute. Like most everyone else, I tried using a different plug, then a different cord. Nothing would resolve the issue. Now it's nothing more than a paperweight. It wasn't a bad speaker when it worked.

Not made to last. Let me explain... I was given these Bluetooth speakers about 3-4 years ago. Not bad use you say? Well they were in the box for about two years and I only got them out late in 2016. It slowly started losing their charge then suddenly last month would not show any power no matter which port I charged or how long I powered it. An electronic device should last more than 2 years with periodic use (not continual) IMO.

Just got for christmas, ilive wifi app doesnt allow me to connect the speaker to my wifi. Says my wifi isnt enabled, but it is. Want to use the alexa feature but wifi wifi its just a regular speaker. Very dissappointed. App needs a update and hopefully it fixes the problem.

When I received this as a gift I was excited and I listened to music mostly. Then one day I turned it on and it shut right down...I tried every power cord in the house and could not get it to charge. I bought a new cord from Olive and that didn't work either...what can I do?
