I purchased this for a last minute party knowing that my son loved his but unsure if older people would enjoy it and to my surprise everyone could think of a use for it! An alarm clock, find old music you forgot about, settle a discussion about who played who in a movie! It virtually does so many things it is hard to list and I know our smart phones do many of the same things but we keep it in the kitchen and are phones are often charging or in other places! So I would recommend this for anyone with WiFi at any age!

I'm not a fan of Google software, it needs work. Being in IT I expect a nice UI/UX and most of their software needs a lot of work However, their Home tools are very good. I have the larger in the main den/kitchen room and then I have these mini's in other rooms. They work well with Home Assistant and with Smart Things. The speakers are good, not great, but it is a mini for a reason. You can tie them together and the App is nice to have and with this you can have music through out the house. It would be really nice to have an app that works on a computer though, I think that is a fail on their part, and thus 4 stars. I'm sure their "laptop" would work, but I'm not buying a half pregnant machine...

I can not say enough about this item. I put one in every room. The music sounds great and controlling all the lights are a pleasure.

Look, there are many different automated assistant options on the market, but with true comparison, Google Asst. is sleek, elegant, and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in your natural decor. Trust me when I say, integration into everyday life has been, in a word easy, and now is as natural as a summer Breeze.....y . See what I did there? I referenced my title in my review.
Back to the goods though, affordable cost, great value, sexy design, easy integration, amazing quality, and a fun time for all.
Enjoy!

Better than Echo

I did some serious comparisons between the echo dot and Google mini before ultimately deciding on the Google mini. Google mini uses...well, Google. So it is far more accurate with search responses than Echo. The speaker is also better. While Alexa is somewhat better with home automation, Google mini is quickly catching up in that area. All things considered, I believe Google mini is and will be far better than Echo in the long run. I have two and they are great. My wife talked about me when I first got them and now she uses them all the time!

Using this in our game room helps us to control our Hue lights and nest hands free and we can entertain or relax with exactly the music we want.

It has to train and learn more.
Sometimes google can not understand what you say and you have to call her several times. I find Amazon Alexa was better and I asked even google assistant also the same and she said yes. If you don’t believe you can try asking the same.
