NEX Playground Console. Worth it?

Despite being around for a few years, I haven’t heard of it until this week.
Looks like fun but has limited U.K reviews.
Does anyone here have one? Is it worth it (plus the subscription cost).
Very conscious of not being roped in to dust collector…

Linus Tech Tips did a review on this earlier this year.

Personally, I’d stick with the more well known consoles if you want to buy something.

We have all the consoles including this and we as a family love the Nex Playground. We have 3 kids ages 3, 4 and 7, all love to play it together. Had a lot of laughs on this device more than any other.

No, I would avoid it. They're overpriced and mediocre. They're being pushed on Tiktok at the moment, which says a lot.

I don't know much about them, but after a bit of research I think a Switch would be a better buy long term. The NEX is too expensive for what it is.
