Already had 2 Google homes. Got this for the bathroom. Great price. New features released almost weekly. Better than Alexa.

This product works great. I can get traffic info, check on the weather & best of all I can control my Roomba with my voice.

The google home has been pretty good. The volume is pretty good. I’ll go buy another one. I purchased as a gift originally.

Very well worth the investment, works as advertised and it seems that Google is always improving/enhancing it functionality

My husband was forever asking me questions because he was too lazy to look them up, so I bought this for him and he LOVES it! Not only does he ask all his questions but he also enjoys being able to play music to suit his mood. Easy to set up and use. And it is so small that it is hardly noticeable.

I own both this mini and a few Alexa devices. Each have their advantages. The mini is surprisingly good at picking up my voice, even from another room. Alexa only seems to hear me when I’m directing my voice straight at her. However, like Alexa, it isn’t as good at that when there are other noises next to it. They each have their own entertaining “personalities” but there are also many simple requests which they annoyingly can’t respond to (this is always getting better). Both control my home and entertainment devices nicely. Google is usually a bit faster with this, possibly because most are connected to my Google Wifi. Neither app is great, but they are both useable. Google doesn’t have the same skill options. I prefer the look of the mini over the dot, but I like the new Echo over the full sized Google. So, which would I choose? Honestly, both. They make a pretty good team.

First AI assistant. Great speaker quality with good design. Voice recognition is also perfect. Only downside is without subscription of YouTube music, only radio streaming is possible...

Bought this for my grandmother who is prone to falling and dizzy spells so she can easily make a phone call if she falls. it was easy to set up to her phone and get her started with it. she often uses it because it is louder than her speakerphone. she also uses it to play music and answer her questions

It was super easy to set up but have had some issues connecting some of our google home compatible devices like our Honeywell thermostat. It works great for our YouTubeTV and Chromecast.

Answers questions, turns on lights, sets timers - everything you expect from a google assistant. My only complaint is you can’t use the home minis to call between rooms like an intercom.

Pretty much the same functionality as a full Google Home at a fraction of the cost. Compact size with great sound quality.
