Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Home Max Smart Speaker's sound quality, particularly its bass and volume. Many also found it easy to set up and use, praising the Google Assistant integration. However, some customers noted that the speaker's size and weight are significant drawbacks, and a few experienced issues with Bluetooth connectivity. The price point was also a source of some negative feedback.

    This is a great choice for a home theater, you can add this max and the other little google speakers that came out in 2020, you will have an awesome sound system.

    Does everything I was looking for and more! Also has a USB-C and audio on it which is great. Definitely recommend for someone looking for a large smart speaker.

    I understand good speakers cost money, but the Home Max missed the mark here. Embedding the technology directly into the speaker means eventually they will EOL and you'll be stuck with a dumb speaker.

    I love this speaker. Google assistant itself is handy, but the audio quality of this is superb. It even sounds better since the first time I got it through software updates.

    This is a great item but the only negative is if you own a Android phone. When you speak to Google home it will also operate your phone.

    Its an OK speaker. Its loud and helpful for alarms but Google Assistant had an update a year ago that really made it useless across all Google speakers and Google display. I had it for about a year and during most of that time it was amazing up until that horrible background update they did. I would not recommend it until they fix the assistant and you don't have to tell it what to do 10 times.
