“Enence”

Maria daniela A.
6/18/24

Technology continues to advance and this product is the best of all, it translates in a precise and concise way. Now I have no problem communicating with people on trips or having fears that they will not understand me, I recommend it.

“SCAM, buy elsewhere. Impossible return/refund.”

Heather O.
1/2/25

SCAM. Don't do it. Made the mistake of ordering from EcomLT LLC the translators. Minutes after realized it was junk and called to cancel. Minutes later! The rep accepted my cancellation said it would be refunded but REFUSED to issue a cancellation Confirmation ID. I also followed up with a cancellation request by email. The following day, I rec'd, "I'm sorry, your order has shipped email", unbelieveable. Now to return, impossible, beware! Can't reached them, return at own expense to GERMANY. Invoiced in TN, shipped from IL, but you pay return postage and fee to return to GERMANY. Scam, shady, dishonest company. I am seeking the help of PayPal to refund this huge mistake. A simple return has become impossible and cost more than the product, what a scam of a business. There is no way it sent before I cancelled and the rep must have simply lied to me, indicating it was cancelled. Been a headache. Stay away, much better options out there. Don't fall for this scam.

I bought about 6 months ago and quickly knew it would not work independent of my phone. So, I contacted what they call customer service. Bad. Days go by. Another call, days later. Finally I speak to someone who tells me how to return. It was sent from New York. BUT, I had to sent to Lithuania! Plus $20 postal fee to ship overseas. More weeks go by, I call the Enence so called customer service. Days go by. They had a record of my return but said I had to prove I returned it. I should have bought on Amazon because they make sure you get your money back. I am still waiting. They said they would call back but NO CALL! I have a picture of the envelop. Maybe some day someone will return my money.

Tip for consumers:
The ads make it look like it is a stand alone product but it works with your phone. Google translator can be used without this device. I was hoping to save phne battery by using this product like the ads show.

Excited to test out the translator. First, I like its compact size. I downloaded the application on my phone which immediately performed an update, and then I pressed the translator button to connect the device to my phone. When I tried out the translator, it worked well with its translation. Surely, this device might be useful when traveling to a non-English speaking country.

It's not a stand-alone unit as I expected, but requires a smart phone. It does not understand plain English input. Regularly misunderstands all of a phrase except maybe the last word. Translation (Spanish and Chinese) is wrong 99% of time. No voice output, only on screen to read. How does that help to learn a language? After a day of trying to get it to work, I decided to return it. My request was replied to offering a 20% discount, but I never could find out if that would be a money return or included in the 3 things offered with it. Included recipes, magazines and another health related product. I declined and was sent an RMA, to send the item to Lithuania. But, when I tried using 4 shipping companies, was told they can't accept Li batteries, Only UPS quoted $150. Customer service is worst I've ever seen. No phone numbers. Poor response after I rejected their 20% offer. I reported them to BBB, so will see what comes of that. Looks like I'm stuck with the POS. But I will tell anyone considering purchasing this POS. "DONT".

Tip for consumers:
Tell people to not purchase this scam item. Customer Service is worst I’ve dealt with.

This is really great. You don't have to know how to pronounce the words or phrases. Good quality and large size screen. It was really easy to use, I appreciate it even if it's my first time to use a translator. I would definitely recommend if you ever have to communicate multilingually – very practical. *wink!*

Truly a very efficient and quality device which comes with very functional features! Travelling is made easy by Enence because I can easily communicate with locals of different languages. It has made my life more meaningful because I get to meet, make friends, and communicate with people from all walks of life.

Effective in communicating with non-English speaking individuals that I deal with everyday in my work. My boss was amused that I am able to deal with this challenge by getting myself a translator device I can use as aid.

In the promotional material the fact that you have to have the app open on your mobile phone is never mentioned. Whats the point. Just get a translation app on your phone. Not happy I fell for this.

Verified purchase

Everyone please don't fall to this company. It's a scam. I received this product with high expectation yet the apps for this translator was outdated and the company didn't provide any solution on it. Therefore, this translator was useless without the app installed in your phone. When you try to return it, they delayed your process by not answering your call or email. Finally you got the RMA and you realized it was a company called UAB Orbio World from Lithuania. You have to pay for the return shipping cost. The product itself cost $89 including shipping. Yet the return shipping from USA to Lithuania is $159 with tracking number either by UPS, Fedex or USPS. I believed they try to make people keep the device without returning to an oversea warehouse in Lithuania even the device is defective or the app is not working. Please don't buy this device from their official website. Just go to amazon and purchase it over there and it's much better price, customer service and plus faster and free return if you are amazon prime member. I learned a huge lesson.

I heard about this from my travel club and thought to myself, Wow I don't have to learn the language yet I can still have a normal conversation with anyone in China. And if I go to Taiwan, the Enence will change dialects for me so I won't sound like a foreigner and get taken advantage of. Highly recommend especially for women.

I ordered 3 translators I wanted the language learning software only available on the order screen. They said to go back in and reorder, they would cancel my first order and check the box to order the language software I did. I called because they had not cancelled the first order as they said they would. I got billed twice and wanted to return the items. The return address is in LITHUANIA, even though they shipped the items from New Jersey. My bank said they can make any return policy. So I returned $40 items to Lithuania - still have not gotten the refund

Tip for consumers:
returns to LITHUANIA. No Customer service must call many times. BAD people - crooks for sure. CHINA sellers with no integrity, no service and they LIE .

Enence sent me a box of 5 Tvidler ear wax remover tools. I did not order them. They will only take them back if I pay the postage of 50 dollars to Lithuania. Then they will subtract a 15% restocking fee! So instead being out 59 dollars for something I didnt buy Ill be out near 100!

dont do business with Enence

Went on a cruiseboat to Norway and Denmark and wow, I was able to chat to dozens of people I never would have been able to talk to – all because of the Enence I had. I learned so much about people and never got tired using the device. High quality and great cost. Recommend it.

I reside in Southern Ontario and I ordered 2 Enence translators and 2 hours later I realized that it did not translate the language I wanted it for so I cancelled the order which was confirmed by Enence. 24-hours later the company shipped the product even though the order was cancelled. It arrived at the delivery company in Mississauga, Ontario, about 10 days later but Enence failed to issue a 'Stop Delivery' order and it was delivered to my residence. To return the item, they requested that it be sent to Lithuania at a cost equivalent to the price of the unit. But, it is not returned to the Enence company in Lithuania, it's returned to a distribution company in Lithuania that also has a distribution centre in Kitchener, Ontario. I returned the package unopened to the local shipping company in Mississauga, Ontario, and now they want me to pay the local shipping company to return the package back to my residence and then I have to pay to ship it to Lithuania. This is a scam company. They ship cancelled orders intentionally and make it costly to return the items and then they can claim high sales in their marketing and advertising because nobody will return the product to Lithuania. The order was cancelled within 2 hours after it was placed and they want me to pay for their blatant error. I'm out of pocket almost $200 and the translator is with their shipping company in Mississauga. They advertise that the Enence translator is the 'best translator on the market'. Don't deal with this company. This company has a F-rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)

This translator is a huge scam! When I ordered the product online, I did not purchase insurance, but I was charged for insurance. You need to use your phone with the translator. The volume is ridiculously low that it's very difficult to hear in a quiet room, so on a busy street or anywhere with any noise, it's impossible to hear. Google translate is free, you can use directly on your phone, you can save phrases - AND it's one device. You can also take a photo of text to translate. I'm a little embarrassed I got scammed, because I'm usually a savvy smart shopper, but the advertisements and a lot of the reviews were great, so I'm writing this review to warn others not to purchase.

The worst part is when I immediately realized the volume was way too low, I started the process of returning. They advertise a 30 day return, but that's a scam too! I had an online chat with customer service and I was told I could not return a translator that was opened and used! I'm unsure if they will reimburse the insurance they added, which I did not purchase. One would have to open the box and try the product to then immediately find out it's crap, to then return it…. I finally was told that I can return the translator, but there was a series of ridiculous, long-winded steps listed on their return form, with unreasonable warnings of not being reimbursed if not followed. The one last step that was needed was a tracking number I had to add on another form online, once I sent the return package. The return is in Lithuania and sending it from Canada with a tracking number would have cost more than the actual product, so I gave up and lost my money. I'm still trying to at least get my money back for the insurance charge.
