the mini is the perfect addition across multiple rooms since we have speaker systems that we can hook it up to. It is great to help in the kitchen with cooking and the office for finances. Bought it for my husband for Christmas and he loves having access to Google at the sound of his voice.

We were gifted a smart display for Christmas which led to the purchase of this smart speaker. WE ARE OBSESSED! I have found that we use this little speaker for everything, whether that be finding out the weather, listening to music, playing white noise or simply turning off the lights. We have programmed this speaker for a certain room and it's brilliant. I absolutely love Google products, I always thought about trying the Amazon Alexa but I could never after owning these Google products. I bought a holder to attach this to the outlet and it looks perfect.

Really satisfied with the sound, and the volume of the speakers! I love the fact that I don't need wires, since I can simply say "Hey Google" to play songs that I enjoy!

I love it, it works just like google assistant on your phone and reads recipes to you if you ask. The only main thing i dislike about it and why i give it a 4.. makes call for you, except for emergency calls to 911. Why? No idea.. I think it's dumb. Whats the point of this.. It used as a luxury and for lazy people, not for elderly who need assistance.. I thought about purchasing it for my grandmother, she has been in accidents at home where she has fallen and hurt herself badly due to age, lives alone, and has dragged herself accross the floor in pain to reach her phone. Only the emergency neckleaces come in handy here, but she forgets to wear it. So not useful for serious use, only if you want to be lazy and use it for luxury

I only bought this since it was a good price on Black Friday and this has been more helpful than I expected. Not only can you ask it anything and can control your smart home but it also works a nice sized speaker for your room.

The only reason I bought the home mini was for listening a radio station on tuneIn in my kitchen.
Always says the station is not available. It plays in my 4 Alexa devices but not on mini.
Sure is not because of the hardware but the only reason I bought it was that. Useless for my needs.

It is easy to place anywhere it doesn't take much space. The sound is great for a single room and it has no problem connecting to all my smart devices.
