I personally like it for my music in the bathroom, kitchen and living room. I have found times I could ask questions on my mind and it gives a responsive answer. Best feature for me is the home integration with my thermostat and lights. Very smooth and futuristic.

We receive one of these as a gift for our wedding, as well as the Google Home (with the screen). We loved both. We got a second one for my niece for Christmas. Now this machine has it's clear limitations compared to the home with the screen but for $20, you're clearly winning. The only downfall is that it's limited on music (like how specific you can select your music) unless you pay for YouTube Music. You don't have that limitation with the Google Home which is significantly more money. It's an understandable limitation from Google. Can't give the keys to the kingdom for $20. If you want the best of the best, you have to pay for the best (Google Home). Like i said earlier, you still can't go wrong for $20

Bought this device originally for two reasons - 1) To operate some smart switches and 2) To get the most functionality out of my Chromecast TV. However, this device can do everything - I keep finding new ways to use this everyday from a breakdown of my daily schedule, weather updates, news updates, cooking timers, recipe/measurement help, random questions, casting music throughout my home, and broadcasting communications to my family.. just as some examples. Love the unlimited possibilities available and how Google is constantly adding new features! I caught the smart home bug & love it! :)

I bought this on sale for Black Friday figuring I’d give it a try. I have an amazon echo which is okay. But limited on responses to questions. Google home is much better at day to day and random questions. Controlling home appliances and reminders both are on par.

Use it heavily for music mainly but definitely allows me to feel more in control of my house when I linked it to my Phillip Hue lights!

I was not sure what to expect out of this tiny little gadget but was totally surprised by the usefulness it adds to my home! Also impressed with the many products that are accessible through the Home mini. Was not sure how much use I would get out of it but it is used on a daily basis by me and my family for various tasks! Very pleased with the added bonus this gives my household to accomplish chores and tasks. The Home Mini is also aesthetically pleasing to the eye and doesn't stick out of place with my household décor. Very user friendly! Great purchase!

We love the technology and concept of Google Home but there are several issues in getting it to work with reasonable commands. Our GeekSquad team is amazing to help with the programming but trying to figure out what language and actions to use when paired with the Harmony hub it isn't 100% functional particularly for a handicapped person that needs the voice actions. Otherwise, its very good and compact a great resource for web based information and technology functions for phone calls, wish it had the 911 calling, caller id for placed calls for contacts.
