Yep. Not worth it. No netflix integration. Also doesn't work well if you have other google/nest displays and try to play music. It'll stutter at the start of every song and can ruin the experience. I wish I didn't have mine but I don't want to waste it so it sits in the kitchen for recipes and reminders and such.

so does this have the option to have a "screen saver" that is a google photos album? ive been looking for a display type hub that can serve as a clock/digital frame, and sit in the livingroom for recipes and timers. id like to play music on it, and id likely be ok with a stutter, but that is a secondary use.
Yes. We love the photo album screen saver use of it. If it's your only device nearby, it's good as a standalone unit. It only acts weird when paired with other smart speakers for playing music.
We use it for photos, timers, alarms, home commands, youtube while cooking, grocery lists, google searches, nest camera feeds.
Like I said I wish we didn't have it so we can get a Nest display and get it integrated nicely with the other devices, but it does its job and is still seated at one of the most important rooms of the house, the kitchen.

thanks so much!
i picked one up. will be my first dive into the smart displays. will be interesting to see how it integrates with the other hub type items. we have alexa in the livingroom and bedroom for smart light controls. mostly just playing around with them to see what i like and dont like before i get serious about the more expensive displays and speakers.
It figures, I just ordered two of the Lenovo nightstand clocks, I was thinking of putting one of these on my side of the bed but no sales as of late. I had ordered two for $80 a couple months back but they were never shipped. Oh well, I do hear these are not great for night stand clocks so I guess I am still better off.
I had did some research on these and thought for the price they were pretty cool.

Not too much more on sale and prices dropping fast...
May be you are not invited to the party.
This was actually a model that was released not too long ago.
