    Don’t let the size fool you. This little gadget is very useful and other than the speaker size, this matches up to higher models. Very fun and useful. For the price of $29.99, you can’t go wrong.

    Great little assistant. Even though it is pretty small, the speaker delivers great full & rich sound. Even the volume is pretty good for such a small size. I would have given 5 stars but it is limited to only a few streaming music companies. I wish I could play Apple Music .

    Nice personal assistant who can read news, provide weather updates, traffic and play music. Best part you can connect play Netflix and You tube videos on TV if connected to Chromecast. This is a cool device to have in our home... It's been just few days but we are loving it.

    We got a Google Home a year ago and we were pretty disappointed in how little it understood and could respond. Just a year later it is completely different. Google Home understands 80% of what we ask and can tell diffferent voices apart. The app also continues to improve and add more features. We decided to add the mini to reach into another room and the mini is just as great. You do have to use your voice to turn off sound on the mini rather than tapping like the Google Home. Overall I love it and can't wait to see where it's at in another year.

    I didn’t think this would be as useful as it actually is. Totally surprised. Phillips lights are a great addition as well. Speaker is much louder than expected. Even has fun trivia games! Love!

    We have the large google home and absolutely love it. We bought the mini for the bedroom and the bathroom. It has a good sound and is just as cool as the home but takes up a much smaller area.

    The miniaturization of the Google Home takes shape as the Mini. This donut shaped product delivers great sound for verbal queries, and delivers the power of Google, audibly, for a great price.

    Was skeptical of virtual personal assistants but I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to setup. The sound is good for playing music and it recognizes voice commands the first time.

    Fun toy for tv control

    I bought a harmony hub and found i could use voice controls for it. Ok sounds fun so which one is best Google or Amazon. I decided to go with Google since I am not a prime member. This easily connected to my Harmony Hub but controls are ok. When I ask hey Google go to HGTV it then says ok let me get harmony then harmony says channel HGTV .....not quick and not smooth. Once I programmed voice controls for all my functions it works well. I only use it to turn tv on and off and from different inputs otherwise I change channels and volume with the remote app. It is a fun toy for this and I like it. We enjoy asking it questions especially my 4 year old. Listen for $30 it is a fun toy and you will be able to use it for some fun task. For me I'm not gonna have it running all aspects of my house and life but at this price it is worth it for some entertainment value and a little cool factor of whatever task you choose it to do.

    Great Tech for any

    Super handy gadget that once I saw it I had to have it. My wife and I live a minimal life so we opted to forego installing any light in our house other than what the sun decides to provide for us. No lamps, no lightbulbs, not even a bat signal type of flood light. This lifestyle isn't for everyone or anyone for that matter, including us so we picked up a Google Mini and a couple smart bulbs to place around the house. It can do a lot more than just turn on/off the lights by a simple command but that is the feature we utilize the most. One of the unexpected features I didn't realize it was capable of is how funny it is to be in one room and then you hear it answering questions nobody asked it or when you randomly walk past it and hear it whisper little sweet nothings from time to time. As soon as I realized it was listening to us and became self aware I decided to add a few more to the house so I could really speed up it's learning curve and utilize it's neural net processor. Now that I have multiple units sprawled across the house, I rarely ask it to do trivial things like turn on the lights for me. It's an insult to the tech. Now I consistently ask Google to broadcast flatulence across all devices. I can't begin to tell you how awesome it is to hear Google Rip Wet AF Alabama Mud Clumps in sync all over the house. It's like I'm engulfed in a Stank Symphony of sorts. It's not for everyone, especially my wife but I suggest you look up other reviews to see how others might utilize it's features but all in all I can't rave about it enough.

    A simple way to get into Google Home

    Google Assistant in general is very useful: lists, news, shopping, search, alarms, etc. Voice commands feature is good, but still being fine tuned as wording has to be exact or the assistant won't do what you want. Ability to sync multiple Home devices is very useful, can have whole home sound without volume being too loud in any one room. As one would expect, speaker on the mini is less than ideal, but still very functional. Won't get much bass, but will do for simple listening, especially when augmenting another device while synced. Small foot print and nice aesthetic makes it blend in well.

    Got to admit that. I was skeptical about this purchase but so far I like it a lot. I just use it for the alarm, listen the news in the morning while i get ready to work and some music once in a while. So far it’s been great and everyday i founf new things it can do

    The little speaker has decent sound, and is a well polished assistant compared to Amazon's Alexa. Worth the price for general knowledge, syncing with Spotify and home automation commands.
