I received a white mini google for Christmas and was not sure about keeping it. I then went to my friends house and they were using it to ask questions and play music. It is compact and amazing!!!

Just a simple word for a simple device that does very complex tasks. Very good value for money. Google products have become my favorite lately due to the very close attention to tiny details that may not even be noticed casually but once you do, it makes you happy.love this little donut shaped marvel of tech.

Have a total of 5 and very happy. Plenty loud, easy to use. Using on Google home. I prefer a clock, but these are great where clocks aren't needed.

Being able to “summon” the nest thermostat or music or my wemo lights to turn off has made me cool in my house. Even my wife thinks the ability to add groceries to our shopping list is impressive, and she’s not impressed by anything. Not even the juggling polar bears riding unicycles we hired at our wedding.

my daughter loves this. She got it for Christmas and uses it alot. Lots of free stuff it can do and you can add on apps for more functions as well. Good speaker volume as well for the small size.

I have echo dot for almost 2 years now, Google Home app is easier and well designed
Sound is great, conversation and comprehension is mush better than Alexa
The reason for 4 stars due to the lack of similar feature to Alexa Drop in that allow me to call Alexa

It was easy to setup and hooking it up smart bulbs and plugs was a breeze. It's so much easier to turn on the lights using my voice instead of physically turning on/off the switch.

Google Home Mini's are great to start or add to your smart home collection. They sound far better than a Bluetooth speaker that costs the same and you get so much more functionality

Small, but surprisingly has a decent sound to it. Equipped with Google assistant, you can ask it to do all kinds of things. Great for streaming music. Can be connected to other home nests or minis to play together. Definitely nice to have.

Pros
Great overall product
Very easy to setup
The Sound is pretty good for a small speaker
Cons
We need more integration features with Xbox One and other devices.
We need more features overall like broadcast to an individual device vs all devices.

Between Alexa and Google Home Assistant I was hesitating until my cousin recommended to go with Google. Since having it I added three more throughout the house. Highly customizable, I use it everyday from getting the news, the weather, my commute and reminders. I have it working with all the TVs in the house and I added a few smart lights that work wonders with this smart speaker. The sound quality is decent for a speaker its size. From the Home app you can adjust the bass and the treble. We're a family of four and we each have our accounts registered and it never fails to recognize the right person. So far, I'm sold on this technology and liking it and discovering more everyday.

Google does it again with a dependable mini Google Home unit! The size is hidden in my den and we use our original Google Home in the downstairs family room. Very sensitive microphone that picks up your voice even with TV noise. I love it!!
