Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small, great audio, and discreet yet looks great on a bookshelf, desk, nightstand, counter, etc. If you need more Google Home peripherals pick one up to make your entire home smart enabled.

Must better out of the box in my opinion than the echo which took sometime to understand my voice.

I had already purchased a Google Home. The Google Home Mini obviously doesn't have the same sound quality or volume range, however for placing it around the house and getting decent Virtual Assistant coverage it is perfect at that price point.

I love this google mini-I have another one so I got this one to use outside when I am spending time out there. It is compact and unobtrusive, easy to set up and gives me hours of enjoyment.

Bought this for my elderly mother who does not have a cell phone and only occasionally goes on the computer. She loves the news brief in the morning being able to ask for recipes and checking the weather without having to fiddle with buttons and her arthritic fingers. A great tech gift for technology resist seniors.

Love the mini Google. Got the stylish coral color which goes well with my decor. Setup was a breeze and we added a wireless lamp switch, which is great. It's great for playing music too!

Got this for a white elephant get together at work. It was a good gift for the sale price of $30.

It still has a long way to go in terms of home automation, but understands the language very well

Does things Alexa doesn’t. Also more conversational than Alexa and does t require exact commands.

Actually bought it for a Christmas present for my son. Reasonably priced version of the original.

I bought two of them to place in multiple areas in my house. Great little product and good price.

I liked Google Home . Its really amazing . my kid enjoying learning playing songs on google home.

I feel like the only difference in the Google Mini and the regular Google Home is, obviously, their size. But the commands, capabilities, and operations are still the same. I have a regular sized Google Home in the living room and this Google Mini in the bedroom. It works great! I can ask it for the time, for a rundown of my calendar when I wake up, I can ask it what the forecast is going to be so that I'll know how to dress that morning. You can even ask it to tell you a joke if you need a little laugh. If you also have things like Chrome Cast, you can operate them through the Google Home Mini as well, once you've synced them up in the Google Home Assistant app.

Great quality and clarity with this product. It is small and easy to move a round and out of the way. The kids love it and you can use voice control.

Has better sound than the echo dot, and can answer way more questions in a conversational style.

Really enjoy the ease of using this speaker. It gets really loud. Only drawback do not place it next to the tv. It will pickup the commercials that they have for it.

As an early adopter of the original Google Home, I realized quickly that I did not have enough of them around the house to make the assistant truly useful. Unfortunately, the original Home price does not make purchasing many of them easy. The mini solves that problem, especially when Best Buy has a deal for a free one with a Nest or Philips Hue purchase; or when they ran their deal for the free gift card with the reduced price. Now I have a bunch of these devices spread throughout the house and do not have to think about where I am when I want to access the assistant. As small as a bagel, sound is not great; but it does not have to be great to be useful. Placing them in the hallway, bathrooms, or children's bedrooms helps spread the assistant throughout the home so I can broadcast information to everyone, or control lights in each room. Saying "turn on the lights" without having to remember the proper room name is very convenient. Even when the volume is 60%, the sound is sufficient to fill a small space, and sounds okay without the stereo effect. (for better sound, a stereo with a Chromecast is the better option than a more expensive stand-alone speaker) At this price, it is also an ideal bathroom speaker to listen to music since you can change the music without having to touch it or your phone, and cheaper than most waterproof Bluetooth speakers. While not rated as water proof or water resistant, I have not damaged mine yet from the steam since I do not have it close to the shower. I also have mine mounted to the wall to help keep water from collecting in the base. (separate purchase required to get a mount) Overall, a worthwhile investment if interested in the smart-home ecosystem.

I read a ton of reviews on this and finally decided to hit the button on one. Great idea. She has my weather reports, news, timers while I cook(I’m a lousy cook) and now controls my lights. So happy I picked it up. Totally recommend it if you don’t have a digital assistant yet. I just wish I could call her Jarvis.

Bought as a gift for wife. She's constantly asking questions. Now I just tell her to ask Google!

MINI has a ton to offer! Full of fun and excitement, and knowledge. Makes life easier sometimes!
