Crock-Pot 6 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker and Food Warmer Works with Alexa, Stainless Steel (2139005)

I received this as a gift for Christmas 2021 and was never able to get it to connect. No matter what I did it would not connect to Alexa and I was so frustrated. It's a decent crockpot in its own, but I specifically wanted it for the wifi. Finally read a review that mentioned a little reset button on the right side of the front panel, and voila! I know have a connected crockpot. I have posted a picture to make it easier to find if you're having trouble like I did. Looking forward to using my crockpot more often now.

I bought this crockpot to replace an older one and it is useless. It will not connect to the Alexa app I have tried with multiple phones and my tablet and it doesn’t work. I have followed all the instructions and even tried all the recommendations in the reviews and still it won’t connect. Now when I try to return it I have to pay to send it back which is actually more than I paid to purchase it. DON”T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

So first of all, five stars because it works well, exactly as described...But. The "but" is that this is not just "Alexa enabled", but "Alexa Mandatory" - at least to achieve even basic functionality other cookers have out of the box. The backstory is that I'm a life-long slow cooker user. And slow cooker eater when I was too young to be a user. I'm also firmly embedded in the Alexa-sphere, with Echo Dots and Fire TV cubes scattered all over my house, Alexa app on all our phones, and even Alexa in my truck. So when need arose to purchase a new slow cooker I thought some Alexa connectivity would be useful. And it is. However, rather than simply being Alexa augmented, even basic functionality is Alexa required. For example, here's what you can do WITHOUT Alexa: Turn it on. Set the heat for High, Low, Warm. That's it. (No timer or any other settings) And Here's what you see looking at the cooker, without using Alexa: Whether it's on or off. Whether it's connected to wifi. And if the heat setting is High, Low, Warm. (Not how much time is left, or any other information) So in the process of adding Alexa to the mix, they decided to remove normal functionality. I didn't expect that. Perhaps I could have paid more attention to the description or reviews, but I didn't. So I figured I'd post this review in warning to anyone else that may think this is a normal crockpot, just with Alexa added. It isn't. If for any reason you don't wish, or can't use Alexa with this cooker, you will be sorely hindered and inconvenienced.

Cochenerie je suis électro j'ai connecter tout les appareils chez moi mais cette chose la c'est impossible prend 2 tour pour cuire la nourriture je regrette de gaspiller pas votre argent vous ne serez jamais capable de vous connecté

J'ai commandé cette mijoteuse, et lorsque je l'ai reçu je l'ai branché mais Alexa est incapable de la reconnaître donc inutilisable. J'ai tout essayé mais je crois que la version Française d'Alexa ne prend pas en charge les autocuiseurs. Aucun choix dans la liste des appareil et aucune détection possible.
