It is like having a personal secretary. All you need to do is ask and that’s it. Information at the tip of your tongue!

This is an excellent product that is very useful and convenient to use. You can't beat the price when it's only $29.99.

The voice recognition works well. Sound from the speaker is well enough for a bedroom. Works well for music if you have a premium subscription with Spotify/Google Play Music/Pandora.

Works great. Controls Hue lights with ease and plays morning news well. Speaker itself is weak, you need chromecast audio to throw it to another speaker so that's kind of a downside.

It is awesome because it can do number of things. Like for one thing, you can ask it to wake you up for a certain time.

My husband and I purchased these during the Black Friday sale where we got an amazing deal; we bought 4. So far they are a lot of fun, we have undiscovered features to go through but are enjoying the broadcast feature and the use of the built-in Bluetooth and really getting to maximize our use of our Google Music subscription. There are a lot of really fun little things that these can do, and a lot of things they can't yet do, but we're hoping. As with any voice activated anything, there's a fair amount of frustration with timing and situations where it just doesn't seem to be listening to you, but overall we're pretty satisfied with our purchase.

I have had a smart assistant starting with the echo since it car outbut google now has overtaken amazon. If this is your first, just get this one and start small. Put it on your night stand and use it for alarms and weather. If you don’t like it, sell it. But if you really try to use it in our daily life, you will get to a point where having one in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and more will be beneficial.

I have used the mini for a while now and it never fails me. Setting an alarm.. as a timer.. telling me news and weather as I'm getting ready for work. An alarm for waking even if we lose power. Playing the music I want to hear without changing stations. Setting up reminders. Couldn't be happier.

All the things I can do in my home with Google Assistant is amazing, and for only $50. The speaker could be better, but for its size, it ain't bad. Perfect for a bedroom or kitchen.

I chose the Google system over the Amazon Echo because it will dial your phone and the Amazon system won't. It works seamlessly with my smartphone and my contact list. I decide to equip the entire house. although it won't call 911 I looked up the direct numbers. This is a cheap alternative to Lifeline.
