    Surprisingly good sound quality for the price; centrally placed can cover a whole house (unless it’s like a mansion or really weirdly shaped). Also makes it easy to give voice commands to control other devices post setup as well as broadcast reminders

    Compact smart speaker sounds great for its size. Huge improvement over original Google Home. Great looking too. I bought two a paired them as a stereo set which works very well. I have them in a rather open space so I don't think one on its own would be great sound for the whole room. However, with two of them, it works well. These aren't going to blow your mind or produce massively loud volume. More like gentle giants (not physically).

    I use it every day to check weather, set reminders and alarms, play music, and ask questions. I love having it in my room! I also like the fact that I can make calls through it! It is convenient when I'm doing something and am unable to use my phone. It's perfect!

    Apple Convert Made Happy With Nest Audio

    I’m an Apple loyalist first and foremost, however with Google’s mesh wifi system, I had to switch as I got tired of spending $600 for a descent router. After switching, I got a little excited that I can add nest audio to my setup and I was a little weary that the sound would be sub par. I was wrong. They got these right. Now full disclosure, these aren’t a sonos situation, but for $59 (Black Friday deal) these are a home run and I love the added benefit of the “Hey Google” mic. Super accurate and well worth the switch. Now if they only sold a sub to pair with these little piece of awesomeness. Don’t hesitate.

    I absolutely love the quality of this speaker! I currently own 3 of these speakers and have them connected to 6 other Google Speakers/hub around the home. It is awesome to have music playing from each speaker, with no lagging. This speaker can also be connected to other devices via Bluetooth. I highly recommend this speaker to anyone looking for an economical speaker with amazing sound.

    For this deal price, i think you need to get it. Disregard the negative reviews this speaker has based, clarity looks, price point, and everything. It is very highly recommended. I will replace all my minis for this. Just try it, and you'll love it, i promise you

    I bought it to try 2nd Home design, I have 1st Home smart speaker that I liked but lacked good Bluetooth. I also got the best Sale price around Black Friday, so I wouldn't pay the $100 for this. So this one was completely redesigned with better speakers & Bluetooth connection. The biggest disappointment is lack of Aux input so we can't get highest sound quality from portable players. Also when streaming from Google music sound is limited, I usually have to raise to 80-90% to sound Ok. I still recommend it to have in any room to enjoy musica from any WiFi radio or Bluetooth.

    Great speaker. I have a pair of these in my garage and the suround stereo sound if fantastic. For the price i think their well worth it. And its great i can control my other google devices throughout the house with just my voice. If you have radio and other music accounts linked to google all you have to do is ask google ( politely ) to play anything you want.

    This item was purchased as an upgrade to my Google Mini. I love how loud this device can be. The only con is that it doesn't allow sufficient time for me to ask a follow-up question or comment.

    I have a hub and a couple minis. This big boy doesnt feel cheap. Easy to setup like the rest. Id still recommend it if you can find it on sale. But it is not HiFi. The bass is good but it leaves you a bit wanting. Once it is loud it sounds like it is kinda chewing with its mouth full. Its not muffled per say but clarity on the high end could be better while the bass is thumping.
