    Took Google Home Mini back

    I purchased one for my living room. It got nonstop usage for over two weeks. My kids were in love with it. My teenage nephew even took it in his room a few times to use it. So I got him one for Christmas. My kids got a Google Home Mini from a family member. But it proved to be too difficult for a 4 and 6 year old to operate. It required too many apps to operate the same way the Echo does. I dont like having too many subscriptions. And the Home Mini required just that. So we exchanged it for another Amazon Echo. Easy set up. Easy to set routines for my kids like bedtime and alarm setting. I also like the Parent Mode that controls what they can listen to. No need for the kids version Echo. This works just fine. They can also call me when Im out, no phone required. Im gonna regret that later lol. But its a nice feature as I dont want them to have cell phones at this age. Sound quality is just as good as a house phone. It has a nice modern, simplistic style. Everyone loves it. The Google Home Mini was much harder to set up on the app. The customization on the Home Mini was much more complicated. I found myself downloading more and more apps, just to make it function. All the apps I have for my Echo is Tidal for music, and Amazon Alexa. We’re up to 3 Echos. I’ll get another one when we get a bigger house lol. But maybe one more wont hurt. I recommend this for anybody. Kids as well.

    This is a good product for my needs definitely helps answering questions without having to turn on my computers. Learning to use but has many functions. The little I have learned so far this product is excellent. Like everything in this Internet world. It takes time to learn have to say also has a very good sound foreplay music actually replaces my stereo that I have not turned on for a long while

    I never thought I would own anything like this. I was fine playing music from my ear buds or from my phone speaker. When this was on sale, I decided to give it a try. I like that I can ask Alexa anything. The sound quality it great for my small space. I never knew what I was missing out on. They do try to get you to sign up for Amazon music, because Alexa says she can play xyz for free, but you can sign up for Amazon music. It is a nice little addition to my technology bucket.
