It is an OUTSTANDING product. We have several elderly grandparents who loved visiting their grandkids and during the pandemic were cut off. The portal brought them back into the feeling of being part of the action and getting to see what their grandkids were doing. They were all able to set up the Portal without any assistance, which was very surprising. Also, it’s a fantastic Bluetooth speaker when we’re not using it for calls.

Did I feel good about inviting Facebook into my living room? No. I don’t trust that company. But the tradeoff was worth it for me.

Edit: I didn’t just buy one Portal, I bought 4. One would be kind of pointless.
