Facebook Portal Mini - Smart Video Calling 8” Touch Screen Display with Alexa - White

Great

Love this thing! I got it for Christmas from my mother in law, & I Loved it so much I bought one for my parents & one for my grandma. Perfect way to FaceTime loved ones when your hands are full, or if you are busy cleaning the house. Plus the Alexa feature is great too when I want to know the weather, or have her play Pandora while I do the dishes. I also love that it displays your pictures on it as a screen saver. You will not be disappointed. A must get gift for sure.

Bought for my parents who aren’t too tech Savvy. They love it! We have never had a problem, it’s always been crystal clear.

I’ve only use this product one or two times and it doesn’t even work any longer it hasn’t been dropped nothing is wrong with it it just won’t turn on. And Amazon will not send me a

The speaker on this product is amazing . I bought it for my mom and dad and they love it. Perfect Gift

I bought this to be able to video chat with an elderly parent hospitalized during this No Visitors time. It is a fabulous device. I set it up from home and then got within range of the hospital WiFi before sending it up to her room. Once set up, it is very easy to use, either with verbal commands or with the touch screen. The CONS to this device - 1) it has to be plugged in at all times, and the cord is fairly short. (We sent it to the hospital with an extension cord.) Caretakers kept moving it to not trip on the cord, so it kept getting put out of her range to reach the touch screen. 2) The WhatsApp feature is very glitchy. It eventually stopped working altogether. Definitely a much better device for just using Facebook Messenger. UPDATE: We’ve now had these devices for 7 months. The device that my elderly mother has has to get rebooted somewhat regularly. Apps and features will freeze. Also, because she forgets how to turn the screen off (which you can only do verbally), she tends to lay it on its face and the screen now has a dark shadow all around the edges. I’m guessing it’s because it overheats when she lays it down. So, while I still like the devices, if your elderly person is getting senile or has dementia, it may not be the device for them.

Love it

Very pleased with the Portal. Was looking for something for grandparents to better hear and see family members for zoom-type family gatherings. Relatively easy for grandparents to use and microphone/speaker system is major improvement over using cell phone.
