Got this when I bought my nest smoke detector. Was very easy to set up. Take it out of the box, plug it into an outlet, download the google home app, and follow the directions. Was up and running in about 5 minutes. Sound is decent for the mini. Not as good as the home. Use it to control my smart switches and asks the assistant things.

I enjoy this better than my amazon echo for sure. You can ask way more and get actual answers from google. Echo is very limited.

Works great and picked out the right color too! I have four of these throughout the house with Wemos. No issues and easy setup.

This device is extremely useful I often use it at night to play music before bed. Nice to use voice to activate it over manual.

I bought this as a way to generate white noise for better sleep at night but I've found it does so much more. Without any real programming or effort on my part, I found that I can get also music and recipes and answers to general questions. And it does a great job with white noise and ocean sounds, improving my sleep as expected.

I've used both the dot and Google Home, and you can't go wrong with either. I chose the home because I have a galaxy, and the home works well with android. I also think that the home in general has more possibilities given it's made by Google. I use this thing everyday to tell me the weather, traffic, and what's on my calendar. It's a great personal assistant. It's not great for music, but I have a sound system so I didn't need it for that. If you're looking for a daily assistant, I'd recommend this.
