    Really good small smart speaker

    The Home Mini offers an inexpensive way to get the Google Assistant into your home. It is very easy to setup through the app, it is the same process as setting up a Chromecast. It takes less than five minutes. After that, it is small and unobtrusive enough that it stays out of your way until you need it for something. It is quick to respond when you speak to it, Really good for talking to your other smart home devices, or just to ask questions. Every once in a while, it won't understand you unless you speak very clearly and deliberately, even when giving a command you have used before without issue. Sound quality is ok for listening to music, but that's not really what it is made for. Overall, a solid choice at a reasonable price.

    I don’t even know what all this thing does yet, but it is very cool. It plays Pandora, answers questions, plays games, helps plan your day,controls smart home devices...the assistant is so much better than the google app or website. Sound quality is excellent.

    I bought this device on a Black Friday sale for 30 dollars, for what I got out of this little speaker it was more than worth the investment. Sound quality is exceptional considering the price and features packed into it, but don't expect to be blown away by strong a bass or clear highs. This device was not designed to perform in this area. The AI assistant is amazing and captures the interest of children and adults alike. It understand most questions, but this will be less of an issue later on as the AI is constantly being developed. The voice recognition is also great, the device failed to identify my voice in only the most extreme of cases but otherwise very reliable. As an entry point into AI assistants I don't think there is a better option and the thought and quality put into this device desires a full five stars with the expectation that the AI will improve with years to come.

    I bought two of these to supplement my regular Google home. Now I can talk to google from anywhere in the house without ever having to raise my voice. The speaker isn't half bad either. These were easy to set up and I haven't had a single problem with them.

    With Google Assistant built in, the Google Home integrates with Google Calendar, Maps and Chromecast, so it gives you personalized answers. Say the word, and the Home can also control your smart home gadgets or send music and video to your TV and speakers.

    Purchased this item because of the Black Friday sale, and it turned out to be a very cool little speaker. The google assistant is very accurate and pretty much always gets it right when you ask it to do something. Purchased 5 of them that’s how good it is.

    I'm in love with my Google Home Mini. It can understand everything I say and it doesn't sound like a robot. I have an iPhone and it's so much better than Siri. You can also ask for recipes and it'll tell you how to make it step by step. Really usefull!!

    It recognizes my Wife and I without many issues. The device responds quickly to commands wit minimal errors. Setting up additional devices such as my next thermostat was incredibly fast. Despite their small size they put out a an adequate level of sound

    Caught this on a great sale and couldn't pass it up for basically $20. It's a fun little device. Works great as a speaker to play google music and we are just starting to set it up to control some of the lights and other home devices. I can definitely see it becoming invaluable over time as we get used to making the most of it's capabilities.

    Finally Google has a voice assistant that can rival the Echo Dot. This thing does everything the standard Google Home does at half the cost. It's small, stylish and has pretty good sound quality when playing music for such a small speaker. Its worth the $50 price-point!

    Great Entry to Smart Home Tech

    I have a few of these around the house and I love them! They can hear your voice quite easily (even better than the bigger Google Home that comes at more than twice the cost of this one) and there are new features every couple of weeks to play with. The speaker does get extremely loud however, what it lacks is any substantial bass, especially when listening to music. This is not a deal breaker by any means. It still outperforms speakers I have used in this price range and I find my self using it more than anything to listen to music. The great part is, if you have more than one, you can set up a home group and have music playing throughout your home. I've also invested in making my apartment smart home friendly and it's been fantastic. These work with just about every smart home product on the market and Google is light-years ahead of the competition when it comes to voice recognition and executing commands.

    Google makes life easy with this little device. I can turn on my TV with my chromecast. I can add calendar events, alarms, searches and ask for jokes. The only issue is that Netflix needs to get on board with voice support with this little toy.

    I like to hear what my kids are listening to. The sound is nice....the set up was easy.....they can lower the vol. or raise it with the voice direction. They can ask to hear the latest news with a voice command. I am buying more for gifts.
