Portal from Facebook [Gen 1]. Smart, Hands-Free Video Calling with Alexa Built-in

Bought this as an xmas gift for the wife and one for our son & daughter in law who live across the country. Best money I've spent in a while. They both love it. Used to video chat once or twice a week via phone to stay in touch and see the 1 1/2yr old grandson. Needless to say the phone version sucks because half the time you're looking at the ceiling or the floor. Now we video chat 5-6 times a week every night at bath time. We have ours set up on the coffee table and they set theirs up across the bathroom on the counter. So now every night its "let's go take your bath and call grandma ". We like that it auto focuses on whoever is in the room. It stays focused on the grandson as he plays in the tub but automatically zooms out to add the daughter in law in the video also if she starts talking or steps further into the room. Also not to bulky to take along if we go out to visit other family close by or if we go overnight someplace. Just plug it in and connect to the wifi and wait for the call. Now we're a part of his every day life even though they're 1400 miles away. I personally not one for all this new tech crap, but being able to see and talk to the grandbaby and family every day is well worth the investment. Plus it's easy enough I can operate it without any help.

Excellent!

I shopped around and ordered various devices off Amazon only to have had to return them. This is worth the money. Picture is clear as well as sound. We love the Alexa feature too. Screen is great size. For my senior mother who has dementia and she has remembered how to answer family FaceTime calls too. Love this!!

Best item ever I bought mom who’s in a nursing home with dementia it allows us to talk to each other everyday

Super easy to use and set up. My 85 year old grandfather who has never used facebook before or a laptop, ipad, smartphone or anything finds it easy to use! We did have to create him a facebook account to use this, but thats all the account is used for. Picture quality is amazing and it makes living so far away from family so much better! Only downside is it really isn't mobile. It has to be plugged in at all times to use, and there isn't a way to use a portable charger with it. You can chat with up to 6 people at a time which is nice and it really does follow you and zoom in and out when more people join in the chat. Great product!
