This was a must buy to add to my smart appliances at home. Expanding Google assistant to the rest of the house.

This thing is great in the kitchen. Will set timers for you, tell you measurements, and play any music you ask!

Love how helpful Google can be even for the simplest thing like checking if my favorite spots to eat are closed

I originally started my google smart home with a gifted Google Home, which my wife and I both use daily. When the mini home came out I got it to expand on the google “eco-system” in my house. I placed it in the bedroom and it’s been working great. I found that I use my mini for different things then I would with my google home that’s in my kitchen/living room, which to me is worth the purchase for the lower price. My only complaint is that my mini had Some issues connecting to my WiFi. Not sure if this was due to my WiFi in the house or the mini itself. But overall great system and mostly reliable connection to the WiFi.

Bought it at a tremendous price during Black Friday. instead of the regular price of 49.99 which isn't bad, I was able to get it. For 29.99 plus a $10 gift card. Great bargain but definitely worth it at the 49.99 Price also.
Shouldn't be used if you're looking for quality sound but definitely a great satellite for a spare rooms controlling televisions lights etc. and also as an intercom Love playing around with the smart features with lights and TVs, etc.

We initially received a Google Home Mini as part of a promotion. It’s extremely easy to use and we bought 2 more once we learned that we could have multiples Homes connected playing the same music throughout the house. Our 2 year old son loves being able to play music whenever he wants!

For the sale prices that are often available, this is a good product. Speaker is good enough for small rooms and google assistant is very useful. The microphone could be better, but works most of the time. There are some bugs like broadcasting randomly not working that can be very frustrating if you invest in the google ecosystem, but again most interactions work as expected.

My son gave me one and I bought two more. Love having music without the clutter of CDs. But my fav feature is the goodnight routine. It sets my alarm and plays fireplace sounds to lull me to sleep. And in the morning, the alarm is pleasent, not that screeching most clocks make. Love it!
