Every review of this we could find was written in the first week of owning one. This one was not.
The first week is always the flattering week. Everything is new, the setup is fresh in your mind, and the small frictions have not accumulated yet. It is the week most reviews get written in, and it is the least useful one.
Filed under Business AI, which on this site means we care about the boring parts: whether it holds a connection, whether the app is still maintained a year from now, and whether anybody answers the phone when it breaks. The question is never whether a thing works in the shop. It is whether it still works in six months, on your network, alongside your other devices, without you having to think about it.
The full breakdown, including the parts that did not go well, is what the rest of this piece is for.
