I've enjoyed it, but wouldn't give up my Echo. As expected, Google Home is able to respond to Google-type questions much better than Amazon. As an information source, it is helpful. Music results are mixed. There have been a few cases where the Google library had more obscure content or was able to find a song. Some of the playlists are also better, but others are definately not. After months of use, I find myself asking Google when Alexa doesn't know. Sould quality for music is fair (better than dot, but less than Echo). I would buy only if it's on sale.

Very useful item to your home. Kids can use this as a learning tool. Adults can use this for smart home automation. Calendar appointments, Chromecast integration is a plus. As always Best Buy shopping experience is great, fast shipping and delivery...!!!

For the longest time, I didn't see the appeal of these mini speakers. That along with their original price kept me from ever trying them out. Little by little I got smart devices for my home.
I eventually got a Home Mini free from Google and once I connected it, I learned of how great these Minis were. Not only could I use them to play music but I could also use them for voice commands for my smart devices. Using the Mini is quicker and more convenient than having to grab my phone then unlock it.

Bought this as a cheap smart speaker, and it turned into so much more. I now use it to control my Ecobee thermostats, lights, and even my cast enabled TV.

So the mini is small and goes anywhere. You can connect to ok Google and make things work with it. The sound is great. It is fun to use.

I bought this product to try out. My 16 year old took it and began to use it. She never watches the weather before she leaves for school. Now she’s asking Google what’s the weather! It helps her with her daily schedule as well...making sure she packs her dance or swim clothes before leaving as well. It’s actually a great addition to her room/life!

I got one google home mini free with a pixel 2 purchase and was so happy with it, I bought 3 more to scatter through the house. My favorite part is that it is a cheap way to get a whole-home audio system. Casting music across all or a selection of the speakers is awesome when I want to fill the house with music. They definitely don't produce the best quality sound, but its definitely good enough. It fills a room pretty easily. They hear and understand me very well, and have been a great addition to my entertainment center allowing me to control it through harmony.
