I have a few at home and I couldn’t be any happier. For $30 it’s definitely worth it.

We recently moved into an older home that had no ceiling lights. We soon found that it was a task turning off three different lights at a time. SO, we went to Bestbuy and purchased a Google Home mini along with the Philips Starter pack w/A19 bulbs and let technology do the work for us. Now we ask Google to turn off the lights and Boom, its done. We love this thing so much we purchased another one.

I bought this speaker for my daughter who was going away to college. While setting it up we realized that if you don't have your own wifi with an accessible password, then you will have to go through the hassle of connecting the device and your phone to the same hotspot and then connecting your phone's bluetooth to the speaker. Of course this isn't a problem for those who have access to a router and private wifi, but for those who don't, for example typically college students living on campus since its mostly public wifi, then you might want to consider whether or not you want to purchase this. The upside is a college student won't be living on campus forever, so it would be smart to invest in this device either way because overall it truly is a great speaker. It resonates extremely well and listens to you!!

We got the Amazon Echo last year and weren't really impressed because it didn't seem to know the answers to a lot of questions we asked. We were out Black Friday shopping and picked up 4 of these Google Home Mini's, 1 for us and 3 for Christmas presents. We absolutely love ours. We haven't found many questions that Google can't answer. We got the mini because we didn't want to spend a lot of money.

As a speaker it's decent, very little bass. I would suggest this if you are in the google ecosystem. This means Google play music YouTube chrome cast etc. It does some cool stuff but at time's no matter how you phrase things it won't understand commands. Some nice functions are its ability to call people and turn on the tv, but you need a Google voice number and a chrome cast to do these things. I imagine with time it will get better. I am using it more than I expected to though. It's hard to review this it's very niche at them moment.

Much better than Amzon's Alexa Dot. My kids can actually ask questions & get answers.

Main reason why I bought the google home was it was better at searching and answering questions. Little speaker is loud enough where you won't need the bigger counterpart. even when ambient noise is loud from TV or other devices, it picks up my voice very well.
