Okay, so I wasn't sure about getting ANOTHER smart speaker but this teal beauty won me over. First off - that color? *chef's kiss* It somehow matches both my plant-filled bathroom and my emo-phase bedroom decor.

The sound shocked me - like how is this much boom coming from something smaller than my avocado toast? I blast Lizzo while showering and it handles my terrible singing without judgment (unlike my roommate).

Alexa and I have... interesting convos at 3am when I can't sleep. She tells me weird facts about octopuses and plays white noise that sounds like a spaceship humming. Pro tip: ask her to 'make monkey sounds' when you're bored.

Privacy was a big concern but the mic-off button gives me peace of mind. Though let's be real - if Amazon wants to hear me debating with my cat about dinner choices, they're welcome to that riveting content.

10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a tiny disco ball/butler/therapist hybrid. Just don't ask it to settle arguments - Alexa always takes my best friend's side for some reason.
