Easy setup. Sound is adequate for size and usage intended. Overall construction and quality is very good. Minimal documentation provided - more available online per pamphlet.

This thing is awesome!! I just ask it to do random things just to see if it can and most times it can!!
I use it to play my shows on the TV. Turn my TV and lights off for the night. Raise the volume of my shows. Fast forward and rewind my shows. Step by step recipes.
I love it so much I got 3 of them!! And now we use them as intercoms!!! We play games on it as family. Music is always playing softly because of how easy it is. People come over and are amazed by it and sometimes even purchase one online while they are still visiting.
Highly recommend. Makes great gifts. I gave 6 away and everyone loves me for it.

We purchased 5 of these Google Home minis, one for us to use in the bedroom and go along with our full sized Google home downstairs and four others to give as Christmas gifts. I'm sure I will have four happy relatives.

Got this Christmas Eve, took 5 minutes to set up (app installation), and I'm already impressed. With full access to Google, you have full access to the internet. I have assigned this thing tasks, I have asked questions, I have played trivia, all while streaming music. Fantastic!

Small and can be set anywhere. We have it in the kitchen counter. Great volume for the speaker to cover whole area. Easy to setup and use.

After owning a Google Home myself, I gifted it to a friend and she loves it! I use it to play music, ask for the weather, set a timer/alarm, etc.

Great device for the price! Does exactly as advertised and sounds decent for the compact size. Have to go through the process of setting up through the app, but gets easier as you use it more because it adapts to your voice and your requests.

Cute and small enough to not take up lots of space. Performs all functions as expected. However I thought I was buying the white colour instead of charcoal

In addition to the Mini, I have the regular Google Home. The regular Home produces a louder and fuller sound, but the reduced price tag and size of the Mini allows it to be useful in many other rooms. Handy to have paired with your Google account.

The price, size, and convenience are right on. Used primarily for music and voice inquiries.
It has good volume and the quality is up to speed for my needs.
