I got it on sale. It is a great comparison to the bigger Google home. You have to train it. & enable certain settings.

We use it mostly for music but also for defining words that we don't understand completely, for translating into Spanish or from Spanish, for clarifying questions about historical events and even for playing games sometimes.
We use it almost every day and are very happy with it.

The sound is much better than my Amazon Echo Dot and it can turn on my TV by voice (via Chromecast), which is awesome.

Super good deal for $29.99 and a $10 gift card during black Friday. Good addition to my room with the size and design.

Does what’s expected considering we don’t have any of the add ons to make our house a smart home. Plan to slowly add.

The Google Assistant is definitely the best voice assistant available today. I have both this and an Amazon Echo Dot in my house and this is the one I almost always use. Whether it be Google Maps, Google's Knowledge Graph, recipes, reminders or calendar events Google just does it better. Responses are, on average, more accurate and relevant. I love how I can have the Google Assistant installed on my Android phone and Apple iPad, set a reminder on my Google home, and then remind me on all my other devices. The integration is really good, not to mention the direct tie in to Google Calendar (the most capable calendar I've used). As far as the hardware, the speaker on the Home Mini is leaps and bounds better than the one on the Echo Dot in sound quality, volume and dispersion (Seriously, it sounds really good). Google also just has a nicer voice, a lot less robotic. Also - if you have a Chromecast device this is THE assistant to get because they can seamlessly talk with each other. Bottom line, this is just a nice thing to have that can make your life just a little bit easier.

Can’t go wrong with spending $30 on a voice assistant. Works great and it can understand you a lot better than Alexa.

Smaller than you think, but really cool and capable when connected with one's Google account. Worth the $29.99 price.
