Bought for my son. He loves it. Perfect size to sit on bookcase. Like the charcoal color but disappointed that it has a white cord. The cord should be black.

I enjoy communicating with my son downstairs instead of having to go down just to say dinner's ready. I also love playing music through it. It is loud enough to hear in the next room and I can also ask it to do something from another room. Great price too!

As an owner of an echo dot I bought the google mini to see how they compare. The biggest difference is that this doesn't have a port for an aux jack so you can't plug in a speaker. Also it has blue tooth, just not the ability to connect to an external speaker like Alexa does. I also find the selection of free music from google play isn't as a wide variety as the free amazon music. Google is definitely louder volume wise, just not sound quality. My vote is Alexa over google
