If you want to get into the Google Home ecosystem, the Mini is the cheapest and best way. It's an excellent value for the price. However, it's not so great in sound performance, meaning don't use it as a standalone speaker. It works well with all Google Cast products.

Got this as a 2nd unit for the bedroom, to help control the lighting and a backup alarm. It is great for settling arguments between the wife and I while lounging in bed...
We have both the Google Home and the mini. Only main difference is the mini doesn't have the same sound quality as the Home.
Still sounds good, just not as full.
Nevertheless a great 2nd unit

So What if it Listens All the Time

Your cellphone is already listening to everything so who cares if this is listening too.. My kids ask Google Home Mini to play music, tell stories, and tell jokes non stop. Even if I never use it for anything else, it is worth every penny to keep the kids entertained.

This is my first smart assistant, and I like it so far. I haven't put it to much use yet, except for asking general questions. I am yet to try to control smart plugs with this device. The volume output from this device is louder than I expected, so I'm happy about it.

Bought it on Black Friday for $29. Couldn’t beat that. It does everything you heard it could do. Answers google questions, works with amart home and I think it works with chromecast, I just don’t use that. Probably does a thousand other things I don’t even know about.

I like the Google Home Mini. It is nice to have in the kitchen for music, a timer, an assistant. You can make phone calls, which is pretty cool. Sometimes it has a hard time with commands. Sometimes the music selection is strange.
Also, you can only listen to your Google Music on one device at a time. So if I’m at work listening, then my wife can’t listen at home.

It Understands Korean!

I've always used another smart speaker, but the one I had didn't have a Korean option.
I wanted to get one for my parents so they could comfortably use it speaking Korean. While my parents can speak English, their accents confused my smart speaker.
Suffice it to say that after about 15 minutes setting it up at their home, I had them try it and it understood and replied back in Korean. That's awesome.
Why can't mine do that? It only understands 5 languages I think... T^T
It's loud, can hear from across the room, and is very versatile.

This is just as good, if not better than the dot. It’s small, very responsive and accurate and works with a lot of smart home devices. You can check the growing list of compatible devices at the google homes website.
