I have had this for more than a year now and its been great. I primarily use it for controlling my smart home devices and some tasks like setting alarms & reminders. Highly recommend.

Bought this speaker because everything in our house is Google. From the Chromecast on our T.V. to our Nest thermostat everything can be operated by this little device just by saying “Hey Google”. You can also link up Pandora and listen to music. The speaker isn’t the best but it’s not horrible. Plus the speaker can hear you from pretty far away when trying to activate it.

Small little smart speaker

Google mini is one small smart speaker which does many things.
It tells you the current weather, plays songs, can make calls from your contact list.
It also connects to chromecast and plays videos on youtube on your TV.
The range of "Ok Google, Hey Google" is good enough that it can hear you from quite a distance.
It can hear even when there is something playing in background.
The sound is also good. High enough to fill an entire room and the sound doesn't gets distorted on full volume.
All in all, this is a good device to transform your home into a smart one connecting different devices. There is a new version available with better base and a wall mount option at the base.

MIC not as sensitive as Echo Dot but still works OK.
Seem to respond to "hey google" better than "ok google".

We use this all the time. It is hooked up to our insignia smart plug, hue lights, Samsung powerbot, and lg washer and dryer.
My only complaint is that we have 2 of them and they don’t seem to communicate with one another. For example I can’t tell the one in the bedroom to turn the music down if it is playing on the one in the living room.
