Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my 2nd Tile product. Last year, I bought the Tile Sport and the app notified me that it was time to upgrade. If this new replaceable battery Tile wasn't released, I wasn't sure I was going to buy a new Tile. That's because the ringer on the old Tile was too low to be really effective and I wasn't a fan of being locked in to their battery replacement subscription process. Since this new Tile product had a replaceable battery, I decided to try it. This new Tile is physically bigger than my old Tile Sport. That's actually a good thing because it means the speaker is bigger as well. With the old Tile, if I rang it from my phone, and my keys were downstairs and I was upstairs, I could barely hear ring on the tile. With this new product, I could easily hear the ringer on the Tile going off when I'm upstairs and my keys are downstairs. It also appears that Tile changes the frequency of the default ring as well, which in combination of the larger speaker, makes the ringing easier to hear. The Alexa integration is good, but can be inconsistent. After enabling the Skill, and asking Alexa to find my keys, she will say that she is having problems finding my phone, but the ringer on the Tile will start ringing a few seconds later. Outside, the claimed 300 feet is real, providing there is a clear line of site and the ringer was loud enough for me to follow. Since the battery is replaceable, the new Tile is more water repellent than water resistant, but that's a fair trade off. So, all in all, this new Tile is a much better product than all previous generations. There is a new Tile Premium subscription which add smart alerts, location history, free batteries, and unlimited sharing. However, those are not features that I'm interesting in, so I didn't sign up for them.
