Customer Ratings & Reviews

This speaker has a much more powerful sound than I expected. Small and compact but projects nicely.

These two are identical in many ways, but the Echo Dot's 7 far-field microphones versus Home Mini's 2 make it a bit more responsive. The Echo Dot also has full Bluetooth support and a 3.5mm audio jack, whereas the Home Mini has only Bluetooth input and no jack. Home Mini is probably more aesthetic, but the fabric covers are better at collecting dust, too.

Very easy to use to get information like news and weather quickly.

Good personal assistant. Does what it supposed to do without issue

I got an Echo for Christmas and a free Google Mini shortly after. We use both almost everyday. I have the Echo between the kitchen and family room, but the Mini is in my bedroom. I initially placed it on the dresser below the wall mounted Roku TV. The problem was it couldn't hear me when the TV was on. I had to pause or mute, which defeated the purpose of the Mini controlling my Roku TV. So I moved it to my night stand next to the bed and it works much better. I'm happy with both products but I think the Mini is more low-profile than the Dot and certainly more so than the Echo.

I use this for mostly playing music. I have several Google home products and they all work together nicely. Nice size for a bathroom or kitche.n

Great little device that can do a multitude of things. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of this little device. Mainly I use it to play music, but if you have a smart home, you can use it to control many of your devices.

The mini is perfect. I bought 8. Couple for myself and the rest for gifts which everyone loved. The volume is more than sufficient for a large room or living area. The range on voice command is good too. I can talk to mine from as far as 20 ft away and it generally hears me unless there are other noises. Best of all, my wife thinks she knows everything. Ah ah! Not anymore. My little google woman is not constantly correcting her. My wife can’t fight a google mini so it’s perfect. And when I have to sleep on the couch at least I have the google mini for tunes or just keep me company.

I gifted a bunch of these for Christmas! All age categories..it was a hit, everyone loved them! I also, have 2 of these in my home,.different bedrooms. The sound is clear, Google knows her stuff. Answers just about anything. Connected to my Tv, and YouTube, netflix accounts. Use it for recipes and love the alarm!! The colors are appealing for home decor. Doesnt take up much space. Easy connections to Wi-Fi. Also, got the Phillips hue kit. Control my lights away from home via app. The only down fall its not wireless. But portable enough to move room to room. No charging needed.

I'm a huge fan of the Google Assistant speakers. This one is worth every penny for the cost. Does everything you need to while helping around the home except doesn't have the audio quality of the more expensive speaker as you would expect on the Google home.

Easy to use, DTR loves it. Hooks to network with very little work.

Interesting little device, and I clearly have still a lot to explore. Mostly used to set timers, reminders and alarms for now, along with the occasional question. Sometimes it has troubles understanding me, but I'm pretty sure things will evolve with time. Trying to command lights and switches through a smartthings hub, but it's not as easy as I thought,

Google Home Minis are such great gifts. Inexpensive and put out great sound for such a little speaker. Litter them in rooms throughout the house.

I loved the color and how small it was. Speaker is good for the size and price and I like how receptive it is to voices

Good for the price. Speakers could be better but it does the job.

It is easy to set up. Has a pleasant look, it is small and functional. It is a great help in the house due to its accessibility. Definitely worth the price.

The mini is a wonderful digital assistant. Between controlling our lights and providing weather and traffic updates, it makes our life much easier

This item so far has been lots of fun so far ,and easy to setup .

I absolutely love my google home mini. It sounds great when playing music. The google assistant is wonderful for hands-free questions. I use mine everyday.

Good assistant features, good speaker, way better than Amazon Echo Dot. Still, it needs improvement. Doesn't play all songs bought on play store. Can make phone calls but does not text, reason is that so far, there is no way to review actual text before it's sent. Still, it's an OK toy.
