The mini wakes me up in the morning and sets my house temperature warmer so I don’t freeze when I get up. I love it!!

You have many choices in home AIs.. Amazon, Google, Apple, etc.. but Google is clearly the early winner. With Youtube and Google under it's belt, this little speaker can answer any question or offer up music, etc. While the second gen Google Home Mini sounds better.. I actually prefer the first gen because of the standard USB mini plug and it just looks bigger and better to me.

Mostly used so far for quick questions like upcoming weather, time in other cities and music playback. Great little guy. Sound is good considering its not a soundbar or AV center.

I’m really glad that I purchased this device. It has come in handy with assistance around the house, really neat to have. Only complaint is that I wish it had a bluetooth feature.

Feature rich and solid voice feedback. If you want to use it as a voice activate music player, I would recommend you dish out the extra cash and pick up the full size google home.

Small and sleek design. Perfect for a smaller room. Great because it piggybacks off of google’s universe of systems.

I am enjoying the functionality that this provides by being able to cast content to different cast-enabled devices. The kids enjoy the various games that can be played with voice.
