We love how our google home mini works well with other home smart items! It's small that it doesn't take too much space and sound and response is right on point!

Great little speaker!!! Put it in my bathroom for music & news while I get ready. Now I want more for every room, plays games, tells jokes. May be the best 45 bucks you can spend

This speaker is great! You can command it to play music, dim the lights, and even tell you a joke. It's really handy and easy to setup.

So much easier to set up and get on line than the Amazon product. Very happy with the integration in my house with Nest, Philips Hue plus being able to use youtube.

$29 is a good price to pay to control all the lights, audio, and TVs in my house.

Google Home is an OK product but not better than the Echo.
I have both and was thinking that the Home would be better than Alexa at answering questions...and it is. But it's not when it comes to controlling my home devices. The Echo is much better than the Home when it comes to integrating with my smart home devices.

We have three minis in our house and one that gets used in a classroom. We use them more often than we realize, we use it for the weather forecast, to play games, asking it random and silly questions to see if it has an answer, to play music, and so much more. We'll sit around the living room and play mad libs and the trivia game that the Google assistant can play, we've used it drive our dogs mad by asking it what sound certain animals make, we have smart lights so we use the mini to control the lights. They're probably one of the best things we've ever bought for our house.

This is a cool little device, which we use primarily for streaming music. However, now that we have it, we are starting to integrate everything in our house with it, as best we can. We have Nest Thermostat and Nest Protect, and certainly more will follow. And $29? How can you go wrong?

I bought this as an addition to my existing full size Google Home to put in a bedroom. It does everything its larger sibling does, at a significant cost saving. In fact I have since added a second mini to my daughter's room. As you would expect, the sound quality is not as good as the larger Home, with the bass not as strong. Other than that, the sound is clear and loud enough for my home. We are currently using it to control 6 lights and a fan. You get spoiled being able to query Google for information at pretty much anywhere in the house. Plan to add control to our media center and thermostats next.

Google mini works similar to the Google home. They say sound is not loud but it is definitely loud enough and nice and small. Great unit to have and use with google assistant.

My kids love the google. They play music on it all the time. Set alarms for when they are cooking. Ask the weather for the next day.

To tell the truth...I’m a Amazon Alexa, Philips Hue and TP-Link Switches and Outlet Guy.
Wanted to give this a shot.
I like it; however there are so many more skills with the Amazon Alexa.
I’m sure in time Google with catch up; but Amazon I believe will stay on top.
If you aren’t already into the Amazon eco-system ...then by all means give this a shot.
I’ll be staying with Alexa.
