In case anybody's thinking about pulling the trigger on this, you should know there's a long-standing bug that causes the Home Max to frequently drop its WiFi connection. You can search for "Google Home Max keeps dropping wifi" and find a huge thread dating back a couple years, if you want to verify. Google knows about the problem, but hasn't done anything to solve it, and it's a lot more annoying than you might think it'd be.
Anyway, there's an easy solution that works for several people, including me: if your access point supports a 5GHz band, just put the Home Max on it, with no other devices.
If your AP doesn't support 5GHz, I'd seriously think twice about purchasing this, even at this discount. It'll drive you absolutely nuts.
Sound is fantastic on this. Built in assistant is a bonus, but great to have in the family room. Frozen II soundtrack never sounded so good!
Heads-up Google Home Max is discontinued by Google. That means no firmware updates but existing services are promised by 'Google' to work.
Google doesn't keep up their promise in most cases.

Just got it it today. Sounds amazing. Should have ordered 2!!
Currently A4C is selling these refurbished ones for $149.99. HONEY5 coupon will reduce 5% ($7.49). So total cost would be around $142.50 + free shipping.
