My wife bought me a Google Home last Christmas, which I really enjoy. When I received an email about the mini, I read up on it and some reviews, all of which were positive. Best Buy not only had them on sale but also offered an e-coupon worth $10. It was a great move - I love having them in 2 other rooms and have the coupon for more shopping at Best Buy!/

Google assistant is perfect for those that are familiar to the android/google products. using your voice you can control your smart home's temperature, lighting, electronics and more. i recomend creating a google account and installing it on your mobile devices/cell phones for added functionality such as personal shopping list, scheduling, reminders, etc.

It's the same as his big brother only the speaker is much smaller. It's very good next to your bed or to a small room.

Had alexa past year, but was always asking google, plus bought a thermostat that was stated as alexa ready, it was not and still is not, know what is??? google home mini, that's right. ask this thing anything and gets your answers right away, with alexa it was "hmmm I not sure about that, or I will have to get back to you" ugh...... But we love this mini.

It's a Mini Google Home, and it operates as such. I dont have any complaints. I do wish that instead of completely disabling the tap function, that they had left it as an option we could enable and disable as a play/pause button. I get the liability in it being used to activate listening mode, but I dont see why it couldn't be used as a play/pause button.

Really great sound for such a small device. I have it setup in my office and it connects with my Spotify account. Music can play so low that it won’t bother others or loud enough that you can jam out!

I have an Android phone, a Chromecast and a Chromebook. Suffice it to say that I'm pretty plugged in to the Google ecosystem. Adding a Google Home to the mix has lots of easy productivity enhancements that I like having available.
There are some headaches, like the lack of a line out port and fewer functions in the app compared to the Amazon Alexa (which I also have at my house). I have high hopes that the software and options will improve by leaps and bounds in short order.

Nice mini smart hub for Google Assistant uses. Also works ok as a music speaker and lower to mid volumes levels. But I would recommend two for music listening so you get stereo sound. The microphone on this thing is really good at picking up our voices, even through other noises. And if you take the time to set up your voice recognition on Google Assistant, it can even tell the difference between who exactly is speaking the command, allowing for functions to be limited to specific users on the account. All of this said, I would still recommend the newer Nest Mini. It does all of what I said, just better. And with a few extra features.
