    For anyone looking to get a smart home speaker, I would highly recommend the Google Home mini to start. Normally retailing for $49.99, it's usually on sale or part of some promotion going on, so the buy in is very affordable. The real fun comes in when you have multiple Google Homr devices (Google Home Mini, Google Home, Google Home Max, etc.) and multiple Google Home compatible devices to use them with (Phillips Hue lights, Google Chromecast, etc.). You can play the same music in sync around the entire house, relay messages from one Google Home to another, set alarms, control your lights, and much more and you don't have to buy a smart speaker more expensive than the Google Home Mini. It's very user friendly so even if you aren't tech savvy setup is quick and easy. Even if you're only getting one of these and have no other Google Home compatible devices this is great for music, although the sound quality on the mini isn't the best. Anyway, I highly recommend that if you don't already own a smart speaker in your home and if you're curious about getting one, start with this. But if you can be patient, don't buy it at $49.99. Wait for a promotion or sale if you can because there's usually one on Best Buy.

    I have found that Googles AI and voice recognition is the best in the biz. Replace an amazon product with this. To be fair most of my mobile products, calendar, and email is Google so i am a little jaded

    I use it for an additional room to get information and control my smart home lights. Works great and doesn't take up much space. It's not great as a music speaker though but that's not the intended use.

    Looks great in charcoal color! Easy to setup and connect to my existing 5 WeMo light switches and Nest thermostat (3rd gen) - I now have 5 Google Home devices through my home. My next addition will be a Logitech Harmony Hub to control my home entertainment system. Google’s voice is clear on both the full-size Home and Mini, but playing music suffers on the Mini. Google is Google... full of knowledge, capabilities, and potential. Very capable today, and I’m looking forward to future improvements via free software upgrades.

    Mini seems smarter for questions than Alexa but can be a bit dense at some requests. I wanted a radio station over iheart and it took many attempts to get it to work. The sound is better than Alexa dot.

    Quick setup and had going within 6 minutes. I was glad to have color choices. Would have like a red one but it wasn’t an option when I purchased this one. Surprisingly good sound for such a small unit.

    I have both the Echo and the Home Mini. I really like how the voice recognition allows you to speak plainly with Google Assistant. The integration is a tad behind the echo, but getting better everyday.
