So far, I like the Google Home Mini and have actually purchased another one as a gift for someone else. I am still learning what all I can do with it. There are good videos online to watch.

The Home Mini is a device you can talk to, You can command it to control devices in your smart home, stream shows to your TV, ask it for information ("how tall is Arnold Schwarzenegger?").
I have this in the kitchen so I can use it as a timer for things I am cooking. "Hey Google, set timer for 10 minutes."
The voice is nice and clear and the device can be made loud enough to hear over the TV. It seems able to ignore the noise from the TV and understand me speaking.
It recognizes different voices when spoken to.
When I tried asking if I have email, it says it can't open emails on this device. Bummer! The integration with other Google services like Gmail seem obvious.
The sound quality for music is decent for a device its size. It's not something I'd use it for, except if I just want some background noise.
You can change its speaking voice. I have mine using an Australian accent.

It was a very quick set up and performs much better than I had anticipated. Very clean look and design. Well worth the cost.

Nice addition to add on to your Google Home. Small doesn't take up much space and great music sound from such a small device

It’s a great value! Google is usually pretty good at understanding you and it works best if you have them in multiple rooms.

I have these little guys all over my home and they provide good sound for the price. The only negative that I have is that the speaker will not here you when the volume is all the way up.

For $29 you get to have a small little device to have connected in your home. Definitely can't go wrong with this purchase.

I’ve had an Alexa at home for years now, but I decided to give Google Home a shot based off of what my friends told me about it. I was not disappointed at all. The sound coming out of this little speaker is crisp and clear. And the Google Home has a much easier time with my accent than my Alexa does.

The Mini is a great little device to have as your first home hands free tool. It understands everything I have said so far.
Plays music for when I am getting ready for work
It tells me the time, temperature, traffic to work and alternate route if something is going on and will send that route to my phone
