Easy to set up. Better general internet answers than Amazon Echo. Cannot use remote bluetooth speaker, like Alexa can. No aux jack. Great for the price.

This was a xmas present for my son and he's still learning to use it but so far so good! He really likes to listen to music on it and ask it questions.

The speaker has good quality for its size and price. (Especially at the discounted $29.). It is able to answer questions by searching the internet with a lot more success than the Echo. On the other hand, the Echo supports a lot more smart devices and services.

Mini for fun and SAFETY

This mini was purchased for my 86 year old mother who lives in a retirement community. Her neighbor fell in the tub and could not reach the emergency pull cord. She lay there for hours before being found and rescued. After her experience she and my mother both got dedicated minis for their bathrooms. Now, if my mother had a fall in the bath (statistically the most dangerous place in your home) as long as she could use her voice she could use her mini to make a phone call and get help. Got a wall mount to keep it tidy, off the counter and away from water. Of course it does all those fun things she enjoys (she has a full-size Home in her bedroom) but knowing she can get help in an emergency, especially in the bath, is very meaningful to her. So, along with everything else that makes the mini worth the price, add "great investment in personal safety".

You can play music, ask a homework question, the list goes on and on. Need to know the current weather or traffic...no problem. Ask the Google Mini. Communicates with other Google Home devices. You can even play family games. Great hands-free assistant with voice recognition.

Nice device, especially if you're into the Google eco system already. More informative for random questions than Amazon echo. Not a bad speaker either.

Love the Google minis we have in our house. When paired with other google minis (on the same wireless network) you can use them for playing music in all rooms or as an intercom system. When you add the Google assistant functionality and low cost this is a no-brainer purchase.

I bought this item to experience Google Assistant as a dedicated device for my home. Sound quality is substantial and Google's responses are fairly adequate. It controls my lights and chromecast connected to my TV. Anytime I want to watch something on Netflix, Youtube or Youtube TV, I'll tell Google to set it up for me. I even set up timers for cooking, which has been surprisingly helpful. I even inform Google Home Mini to wake me up for naps in which it has been handy as well. The only thing that irks me is the learning curve of what other things that I can tell Google Assistant to do. If I try something new to say, I usually get "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that yet." I had to go online to find what other commands or feedback Google Assistant can respond to. By the way, if the sound volume is way too high and it's playing music, you would need talk louder or probably scream at Google to hear you for the next request / command. Other than that, it works fairly well.

Good hands free speaker, some work to be done by Google to catch up to the Amazon echo,( which I also own) but for the Black Friday price a great deal.
