Great assistant
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 2 of them and can use as intercom. Listen to music, research things, have it tell me jokes, sets alarm for weeks on end. Amazing purchase and well worth the price

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it. Easy set up. Finally ask a question and actually get an answer. Have Alexa also which usually doesn’t have the answer. Great deal with Black Friday pricing too.

Perfect mini device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At the price point, how could you not buy one. It's perfect for what we need it to do, control our smart devices at home. I know the bigger one has a better speaker, but we use our nose speaker at home for music and just connected it to Google home for easier access. I was worried that it wouldn't pick up my voice from across the apartment but it picks it up just fine. I can lay in bed and yell from the room to the Google mini in the living room...and by yell, I mean slightly elevated tone.

Perfect if you're invested in the ecosystem!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own a Nest, Chromecast, and I use an Android device. I purchased this thinking that $50 isn't too bad if I end up not liking it or using it. This device works very well and it's actually pretty cool to use (a lot of features a gimmicky and serve no practical use) The Biggest Draw Backs are that the call quality is terrible on this, audio is nice and loud... just don't play music on the speaker itself, it doesn't sound good, it doesn't understand some languages (not an issue for me, but some people find this to be a problem), and Google disabled the tap to speak, so the only way to activate it is to say one of the 2 wake words, there is no physical button to make it listen to you. I love this thing, and google continues making the software and features better, so I can't wait to see what they add!

Google Home MINI
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the mini as it is smaller and easy to use in the bedroom. The speaker is not as loud or nice as the full size HOME, but it is still a nice unit with great sound.

Good but not quite as easy as the Echo...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I liked this unit better than Amazon Echo, but the integration was tedious and not possible (for kids and wife) with numerous services and various content accounts being unavailable. If you are set up with Google you will love it, we returned it due to convenience for the Echo’s. I did prefer the sound on the Google mini to the echo, but the #1 decider was the functionality of the broadcast functions/intercom. Google Maps no only works by broadcasting to every unit (we have 6 for use as an intercom) which Was annoying, and you had to broadcast a new message from each side of the conversation as a new broadcast (slow and annoying). The Echo however, you can drop in from another Echo or cell phone remotely and the feature works like a phone on speaker phone, Awesome! Cheaper and nicer than a whole house intercom system!

Great Smart Home Device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son received a Google Home Mini as a birthday gift. He was very excited to receive it and has loved having it in his bedroom. We already had 3 Echo Dot units, so this was a new device for our household. The set-up was easy from an iPhone. It connected to our wireless network immediately and has had no streaming issues. The audio quality of the speaker is excellent. He mostly uses it for listening to Pandora and Spotify, which were both easy to set up with his account. It also connects to his Google account with no issues. I know that he's very happy with it and it would make a great gift for most homes.

Great little assistant
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to test against the amazon echo dot. So far our family agrees that the google mini is more useful compared to the dot. Plus it looks and sounds better.

I love my Google Home Mini(s)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have added several of these to my home since black Friday and have connected numerous Smart Plugs to the overall system. I am well on my way to have a SMART HOME. Adding new Google Home minis to my existing system was quick and easy. Just a few minutes on each and they were connected and functioning. The only issue I have had with them is each one of the three have dropped off the system once - maybe it was an update, maybe just a network glitch. But I just had to unplug them and plug them back in and all is well. Glad I bought these - and am even giving a few as Christmas presents this year.

Google Home Mini = EXECELLENT CHOICE . . . . .
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this thing! I bought it while it was on sale for $35 which is a pretty good price, normally $55. Comes with one GE light bulb which is already paired in the Home Google app. Nothing additional to download to make it work. Other brand name bulbs you'll have to download apps to make them work. The setup process was very easy. Install the smart bulb and plug in the Google Home Mini in the same room. Since the bulb is Bluetooth-based, it will only work a short distance from the Google Home Mini. 1. Download the Google Home app to your iPhone, iPad or Android device. Upon opening the app, I saw a banner asking me to "Setup 1 Device". 2. The app walked me through setting up the Google Home Mini first. 3. The app then automatically asked me if I wanted to setup the bulb. It quickly found the bulb and added it to my Google Home profile. Because I liked this so much I bought 3 more combo units (Home Mini & GE Bulb) and have them all over. I even have 3 of the display units as well....love them... One of my favorite things is when I go to bed I tell the Home Google Mini "good night" and I have it set to tell me my reminders and weather for the next day. Then it asks what time I would like the alarm set for. I haven't been over sleeping since I put one of these in my bedroom. Recommend to everyone.

Best little A.I.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both the Google Home Mini and the Amazon Echo Dot in my home. I must say that the GH Mini AI is a little more advanced that the Echo Dot. Don't get me wrong, the Echo Dot is a good item and is great for shopping on Amazon Prime. The GH Mini is just better at understanding what you are saying or trying to say. It is also better at providing information on what you are actually asking for. Try it out and if you dont like it take it back before your 14 day return period ends.

Like this but like the Google Home better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like this a lot and it's worth $29.00 but gave this to my kid and I ordered the Google Home. The larger one has a better speaker, better volume controls, easier to pause (by just tapping on the top). Otherwise it does what it claims.
