    I have found the mini to be a great addition to my house. It is small and puts out great sound. It searches, finds music all hands free. Love it!

    Very easy to set up and really easy to use. Easy enough for my 7, 9, and 11 year to use and they do all the time. Nice volume as well.

    While I may be an overall dissatisfied Best Buy customer due to a disastrous appliance delivery experience, the things I buy and carry out of the store are easy to install and work as advertised. The Google Home mini was a breeze to setup and is fun to use.

    while i love this google mini i do have issues with it picking up my voice while music is playing. I often have to yell at the device to get it to hear me. I also struggle with lowering the volume of the google assistant. I honestly like this for a small room that would not need any high tech things in it. For more important rooms i would get a max....

    This is my first foray into 'smart tech.' for my home [ other than a 'smart' TV, which i also bought at Best Buy] .....since the home mini is a Christmas present, we have not set it up yet...but I am looking forward to learning about it and what it can do!!

    I got this to start up the idea of a smart home in a small apartment and sync up with a Phillips Hue, some other small smart plugs and speakers. So far I love it, the speaker is not the greatest but that is why I have others and it only gets better as used. Great for a small office but will probably pick up about 1 - 2 more for other areas of the home.

    I had a regular Google Home and loved it but sold it to a family member . Now I have this and it’s great . Sure the speaker is obviously not as good as the full size but I’m not looking for a kick butt speaker for the job it’s doing. Price point is good also

    Does all the functions needed. I can turn off/on the lights, check who’s at the front door, check traffic etc by saying “hey google”. Alexa is a good rival and tbh it really comes down to price and preference. Please check to see if you would benefit more with Alexa and google. With the products that I have, I feel google works better for me tbh. IF YOUR BUYING THIS PRODUCT MAKE SURE YOU GET THE LATEST MODEL. I ordered his one and I recently found out that the NEWER model for google home is available for pre order :/

    The Google Assistant has made life easier and fun around the family room area. Asking interesting questions with unpredictable answers from Google is great. It feels at times that another person is in the room and is keeping company with the family. Google Assistant is very quick, much faster than having to look up things on the phone or laptop. The price was right and a great investment. We have also bought attachments to control other home acitivities.

    We use this for morning and evening routines and to control lights etc for pets when away. In addition asking for timers for laundry and other activities is super easy and makes research fun and quick. We’ve listened to podcasts and music before bed and on weekends. The set up is very easy via the app and adding wifi plugs and bulbs is quick and easy. We have added some other Google Assistant devices since then and are enjoying home automation. At night, we say “good night Google” and it shuts off all lights, arms security system etc. Love it so far!
