On-topic:

It was not and still is not irrelevant, if a named brand selling
professional grade mixing consoles, in a completely different price
range, than that cheap device mentioned here, while the device
reportedly provides excellent audio quality and it was recommended to
watch video tutorials, since it's a 'powerful and complex' device, that
exactly this probably could be a fly in the ointment of this device.
It's a mixer. While using it via a touch screen, it still
remains a mixer. I only try to warn, that a good audio quality device,
for less money could have a pitfall. In my experiences the pitfall
usually are durability and/or the user interface. If it's recommended
to watch a video tutorial, how to use a mixer, I indeed would take
a look, since there should be no need to watch a video or to even read
a user manual, to use a mixer. If it should be needed, than something
is fishy with the user interface.

Off-topic:

Yes, I will apologize as soon as other will apologize, too, who
mentioned the "working with children and propaganda to order kits for
the kids via Amazon" discrepancy a long time before I did. Actually
it's related to this thread, since it says much about Felix'
credibility. I clearly explained the reason for my hint and he started
an offence and apart from this his offence contains absurd claims
regarding professional audio gear. Too funny, since I worked for decades
as professional audio and video engineer and at the moment I've got
an employment agreement for 1 1/2 years in childcare, with just 5 month
left. A part of my job in childcare, is exactly doing such work as he
offers.

I never was interested in this off-topic talk, my original reply was
on-topic. I didn't start it!
