Defect item and bad shopping experience with Dell
Defect item. Could not find the device from the phone after following the setup guide step by step. The tech support is not helpful either. Disappointed.
It is also unfortunate that Dell wants to charge restocking fee for a defect item. Bad shopping experience.

Fine hardware. UX is unacceptable.
Works pretty well, eventually. Setup is very painful, and the apps/web interface are junk. So unfriendly, clunky and ugly. And the device takes a very long time to become available to the network when you first set it up, and there’s quite a bit of work to do for it to get all squared away for usage.
