The speaker is better than echo mini, just doesn't have all the automation stuff yet.

This is awesome, it actually has answers to your questions! No more Alexa saying "I don't have an answer to that question" It has good sound and plenty of easy use features. Loving it!

The product was an excellent purchase for me since I enjoy listening to music when I am in the mood. The color blends with my decor and it is very easy to program.

Sound quality is good. Volume is good. Speech recognition is good. Over all it’s a good little speaker. If you like using digital assitants then you should have no problem using this.

I love all of my Google products. I use my mini as my alarm reminders and it gives me weather updates every morning. Music sounds good on it too. It is a great help to me.

So much fun to use I bought 4 more for every room I use. But it when it's on sale though. $50 a room can be costly. Best use is bathroom as a shower speaker. Leave the phone behind!

I purchased (3) of these at BestBuy on sale for $29 and they have really paid off. I now have my entire house covered via voice activation. They are superior to the Echo Dot in both accuracy and responsiveness. I mainly use them for home automation and information. Music quality is better than expected but not as good as the larger Google Home unit, but for occasional music listening they are fine.

In terms of assistants, its not that much different that Alexa. But because it uses google for searching, the quality of responses and the likelihood of giving a good answer is much higher than Alexa. Speaker is serviceable.

The Google Home Mini has been pretty awesome right out of the box. Simple to setup and easy to use. Yes, there needs to be additions to smart home devices it will control and sometimes it's like its 'ever listening' mics simply aren't listening, thus the 4 stars and not 5 for now. The Google Home Mini understands speech much better than the Dot does and for that reason, I personally like it better.

I was skeptical at first with all of the smart assistants until I got use to using the Google Home Mini. My apprehension stemmed from not wanting all of my personal data floating around for someone to grab until I realized that I use a Pixel phone so they have it anyway. Once I got over this hurdle I have really enjoyed using this product. I mostly use it for controlling my smart home, lights etc. I do ask questions of it sometimes but mostly used to extend my command range for lights and stuff. I would recommend picking one or two up and giving them a try I feel that you will be pleasantly surprised.

This product is super cool. I love how I can change the temperature in my house with just the sound of my voice. I also can turn the lights on and off and even tell it which color.

Purchased to use outside in the gazebo without having to run wires and hookup a speaker system. Sound quality is great and is more than loud enough. Great option.

Purchase google home last year and used it a lot,including moving it around the house. Purchased this mini version and really like the smaller inconspicuous size. The touch controls are not as easy to tap as the google home. Just took a little getting used to.

I used it for many things such as an alarm, playing music, or searching things up, but I eventually stopped using it because it doesn't have many uses. I'm not blaming the product, but I am just saying that I stopped

To be small it has quite a bit of loud clear sound for playing my music I linked with Spotify. Easy set up and easy to talk to with great responses when asking questions.
