Google did a great job in pricing these devices. The earlier devices were a bit too expensive. This new mini is nice and small with an attractive price tag. If you are a Google fan instead of Amazon, this is the way to go.

At first I was debating on getting this, the Google Home, or another brand speaker with the assistant. I ended up purchasing these for my wife and I as well as more for our extended family on Black Friday when they were $30 with a $10 gift card. I wish I would have picked up a few more for our house as they have good great sound quality for the size, but do lack any crispness when turned up too loud. Having a few more throughout the house would allow for more speakers to play at once,
without needing to turn the volume so high. However at regular volume they sound great and the microphone on my end sounds great according to people I speak with using the built-in calling feature, which is awesome! At $50, I feel the Home Mini is a little pricey, but their functionality is great and new features are being added all of the time.

First experience with smart home devices and wasn't sure what to expect. Was given one as a gift and liked it so I decided to get a couple more. It is great for playing music in a room by saying hey Google, play jazz or similar. It will only play a specific song if you have it on a device or you subscribe to a particular U tube service, that's a little annoying. You can control lights etc. but you have to purchase other smart devices like light bulbs which are not cheap. Telling it to turn on or off the light is handy and not just a cool trick. You can broadcast from one device to another which means you can say a message and it will relay it to another device and ask if the person listening wants to respond. That's great if you want to tell someone something in another room but of course, there has to be another device there. If you're willing to invest it can have a lot of useful functions beyond lights and music. Eventually houses will come with all of this stuff built in but until then we'll have to buy them one piece at a time.

The device would be far more useful if it had a speaker jack or at least be able to connect to Bluetooth speakers as the Echo Dot does. Would also be nice if we could customize the attention word. Hey Google or Hey Boo Boo is not much of a selection. I would not pay full price for the Google Home mini, but if you can get it on sale, it can be a fun, if gimmicky, device and at least makes for a good alarm clock.

Perfect for a Christmas gift! Sound quality is awesome. There are still a few glitches but I’m sure Google will get that fixed.
