I love mine. Its home is on the nightstand, where we can ask the time and the weather without opening our eyes. Shortly after receiving it they updated the software so it can now control our Hue lights. I had a disinterested co-worker request a Prime invite for another the next day.

For an extra $45 it comes with fan
