Super easy to set up, plug it in, download the app, input a few settings, wait for it to update and its ready to roll. In the time I had it (ended up going with another brand only because I had more of its eco system in my house already) it ran like a champ. It was always nice being able to do things hand free.
It had decent sound (for music) and really nice build quality.

I had trouble adding a Chromecast item with the mini. There is also no bluetooth so you must have Chromecast connection. Other than that it is awesome even fun.

It is a great beginner device for a 10 year old. You cannot beat the price that Best Buy was offering. The product is easy to set up and fun to use for all ages

I have a mini in my home office and master bath, they pick up your speech rather well but if there is a lot of noise or you are listening to music loudly it can get into the way. Volume is quality and sound doesn’t get distorted when it’s up loud. Glad I got it.

This was a gift for someone else. They seem to be very happy with it so I'm assuming it's excellent.

I've bought two for home, and given this one out as a gift.
You can practically use it for anything, news, music, timers, directions etc.
It's basically the advantage of asking questions (googling) without your phone.
Turns on the lights etc.
