Even though it has less compatibility than Echo or Google's line making it a bit tougher to find smart products, this has amazing sound quality, Siri picks up commands well, and their privacy is way better. Totally worth it whether or not you have other Apple products for that reason in my opinion.

It's great having a HomePod mini in the bedroom! Being fully immersed in the Apple ecosystem, I am able to set reminders, control devices using HomeKit, use Siri for setting my alarms, and of course, play audio content quickly and easily. How cool is it to fall asleep to ocean ambient sounds through the HomePod mini?

The new HomePod mini is a great device for Apple users. We have had an original HomePod for a couple of years and wanted to expand the coverage into our kitchen. The sound is amazing for such a small device. Also, it syncs with our other HomePod so now we have music all over the house. Probably will add another soon.

Plug and play. Bought this for my elderly mother. Its so simple to use! Love the fact that you can just bring your phone near it and it connects! Cant wait to see the other features in action.

This product is amazing. The sound fourth size is outstanding and it comes in my favorite color orange you can’t go wrong with any of Apple products especially this one. I got it on sale for $80 for the deal of the day. Cheers.

I am a big fan of Apple and what kept me away from buying the HomePod was because of how expensive it was. When Best Buy offered it at $250, I finally gave in. Apple invested a lot into making this a great speaker and it definitely delivers. Music sounds amazing for such a small form factor. Siri works fine for me, and is able to hear me from almost anywhere in my home. Keep in mind, the HomPod isn't for everyone. You really need to be heavily invested with the Apple ecosystem to get the most out of HomePod. And if you're looking for the most advanced virtual assistant, you need to look elsewhere. For my needs, it's perfect. This review is based on the price that I paid for it. At regular price, it's not a good value. For $250 and if you're invested in iTunes, Apple Music, HomeKit, and Apple devices, I would highly recommend the HomePod.
This review is from Apple - HomePod - Space Gray

Worked great for a living room TV set up. Decided to get another one for the bedroom. Great sound and reliable.

Love this! Purchased and have used it daily since. Great for playing music around the house. Great sound quality! Love being able to play music and adjust volume with voice commands.

i had some errors while setting it up but I think that was due to me buying it open box and someone had set it up prior. But other than that, I'm in love and enjoying discovering the new things it can do. I bought 2 and I love when I play music on both at the same time.

I’m very impressed with this speaker. I paired it with my discontinued HomePod and the house is full of sound. I think picking up two of these mini’s and pairing them for stereo sound would be a wise move for a $200 smart theater. If you don’t like this speaker I feel your expectations are too high.

This HomePod is cool. Its pretty versatile and is subtle enough to blend into the decor. The sound quality is solid for its size, but for the price I expected it to be a bit more robust. Other then that it does offer some cool features for automation and basic interactions as well as fitting in well to the apple eco system. Can be up and ready in 2 minutes.

We set this up in the kitchen, I use it mostly to stream Netflix while I’m cooking. I love all the functions and that I can use it to connect to our other HomePod minis to use as an intercom system. I can also call everyone to dinner with texting everyone from it as long as it’s an iPhone. Seriously love this thing.

Just like the homepod, only smaller. Doesn't sound as good but still sounds fine and loud enough for my family to listen to music. if you are already in the Apple sphere, worth getting.
We got it to use as an intercom so we can stop yelling at kids upstairs; it is ok for that. Not great but better than yelling.

It produces very good sound and better than I would have expected for it's size. I would have given it 5 stars except for the stereo pairing issues. The process is fairly straight forward but the results where not consistent. Got help from apple but it didn't stay fixed. I've now updated the laptop to macOS 11.3 and my iPhone to 14.5 and it seems to be working stable now. BTW they just came out.

A good compact speaker for the price. solid sound quality for its price(less bass than the Homepod, but to be expected) although my main purpose is to have an additional Siri microphone and speaker for use with Apple home.

Good product for those using HomeKit and Siri. Useful to add Siri capabilities to remote areas of the home, and thread is the wave of the future in smart homes. As a speaker it is probably as good as if not better then comparably priced smart speakers, however the sounds pales in comparison to original HomePod. Not really a fair comparison. I wish Apple hadn’t discontinued the original HomePods.

Don’t let the size fool you! There is nothing “tinny” or “cheap” about these little speakers! They really ARE excellent! However, Imgave them only a 4-star rating because there is a slight “learning curve in setting them up which is surprising for an Apple product and their “Home App” needs some serious work!

Sound quality was better than I expected. And firmware updates over the last couple of years have solve small issues I've had. Like when Siri voice was not loud enough, even after setting up as such. Also, if you're putting together a robust, thread smart home setup with Apple's HomeKit, I think its essential to have 1 or 2 of these around the house.
