Works as expected. This is the 4th one in my house (got 3 last year when on sale.) Don't think they are worth $49 but for $25 or less its good. Decent sound for background music. Nice to be able to say "Hey Google play whatever music throughout the house" and it does. Like all the products, sometimes you have to shout at it to get it to hear you and other times it picks up soft spoken words.
My wife uses it when cooking. Set a meat timer for xx minutes. Set a veggie timer for xx min.
So far been happy with my purchase.

I was a bit skeptical about buying this but I finally did and playing around with it has been a fun thing to do it listens and answers to 97% of what you ask and listens to you! The voice is clear and smooth and not so robotic so that’s a plus

it seems like google keeps giving them away for free, it bundles into everything, from spotify now these, i really don't see a point of buying them separately. and now i have 1 in each of my rooms. they are very functional, the sound is so-so (you can't honestly think they will product decent sound), but they are here to serve a purpose --- make your house "smart" and i think it's done its purpose and then some. it tells you weather, check your calendar, alarm, traffic info, etc.
the only downside is that this is not as capable as the google assistance you have on the phone (you would imagine they are the same), hopefully one day it will catch up. before that happens, it's only a 4 star.

This thing is easy to set up and go. It is much louder than you would think for a little thing and it hasn't missed a command yet.

Enjoyed it working by itself. The ability to link it to another speaker makes it even better. Easy to program.

This Google assistant works great when it works. However, there are many times when you have to repeat yourself multiple times in order for your request to register, often saying the exact thing many times.
