So, what I like about this is it's just tiny. Well, not so tiny that it disappears into the scenery and you lose it and have to walk around playing Marco Polo just to find where the cats batted it too while they were playing a version of "My Shelf-Hockey," as cats are prone to do.
Plus, if you have the Google Assistant app on your phone, you can send voice messages to it so that people in the room where it's at can hear your voice. It's kind of cool, however, I'm disappointed in the fact that it announces there is a message from me coming through before it plays the message. I mean, how am I supposed to play "You're not alone in the house, are you?" and creep people out if it says "You have a new message from...." before it plays the message? Come on Google, let me pander to my dark side, just a little.
So, yeah. Good product.

Product is small and compact, the speaker is sensitive enough to speak at a normal inside volume from across the room and Google will still hear.

I bought this because I needed a smart home device to control a bulb that I purchased for my living room light. Works great to control the light and I love listening to music on the speaker and the kids have fun asking google jokes.

Small , affordable way to add functionality to my smart home system. My wife has cerebral palsy and adding voice command to lights, door camera and thermostats has been a wonderful advancement for accessibility in our home.

Because of great price, figured we try this out. I don't have a "Smart Home", so it's more of a learning and novelty item at this time. Speaker is good, but adjusting volume is difficult. Also, it seems to still be "learning" many things, but then so am I.
I have hope that I'll see some benefit soon. So far, the best is that when we are gone, I have it set to music and it seems to calm the dogs a bit. One concern I have is the "privacy" aspect.

Still learning about this product. Doesn't play the exact music or artist requested unless you are a Google Play subscriber. Speakers are great.

As smart speakers get more and more advanced the prices keep going up. The google home mini is an amazing smart speaker at an even better price. It has all the amazing features as the bigger google home but in a smaller and more nice looking body.
