Is chessnut worth it?

Hello everyone! I'm considering purchasing the Chessnut EVO, the electronic chessboard with Wi-Fi connectivity.

A few questions:

Is the OTB (over-the-board) gameplay smooth and satisfying?
Does the integration with online platforms work well?
Is the AI actually useful, or does it feel limited?
What are the main pros and cons, in your opinion?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Amazon link: https://amzn.to/4imx6Fy  – It costs $620, but if recommended, is there any discount available to slightly reduce the price?

Share your experience if you buy it. For me $600 seems a lot for it but maybe you will enjoy it.

All these e-boards try to take benefits of internet game plus OTB-games but in reality they create new minuses.

Here's something to consider Vs AI OTB experience you can still do with chess. com / lichess ultimately you still have to pick up the pieces and move them. It's only a step more to look up the move rather than have the led lights guide you.

Why not order the EVO directly off the Chessnut Web Site (UseCode EASTER = USD $535.49) https://www.chessnutech.com/pages/chessnut-evo

I have no problems. Why do you say that?

The Chessnut app does no longer offer lichess, only chess.com is still active.

Why do you keep saying this? Not true, works fine.
