I was surprised at how easy it was to set this up, link to my Google account, and start using it right away. The speaker is very good, too.

I got the Mini because of the great Black Friday price, but I knew that I would not be using a lot (and I am not). I am also having issues to recognize my Nest thermostat. It is include in the app, but the Mini "can't help me with that". I am following the tutorials and even did the whole process again, but it is not working...

Works just like you'd expect from a home assistant. Speaker is loud enough to hear, and has the full Google Assistant.
A couple of issues, I've got 4 of these in my house and at least once a week they get stuck responding "An error has occurred" and I have to unplug them and plug them back in.
Also, and this is an issue with google assistant in general I believe, but when you're talking to the device, it will quiet other devices in the same room. This is a nice feature, except when the speaker picks up the most random of sentences from the TV and quiets the TV for a couple seconds.

I love my Amazon Dot! I love being able to connect to my music and asking the time and weather. It's so fun to ask Alexa questions and set alarms and timers. I especially love telling Alexa to connect me to NPR news before I go to sleep.

All the power of Google, but in a footprint the size of a hockey puck. Easy to use, easy to set up. Would recommend.

I have an Echo and wanted to try the Google mini. I am very pleased with the Mini so far. The Google device has some "personality" built in that Alexia misses. I am planning to acquire another Google mini and will probably sell the Echo.

This tiny little speaker is great. Tells me about the day, the news, plays music, even allows me to control smart things in my house. It doesn't sound as good and the home but I'm holding out for the Google home max for that great sound with Google assistant.

Simple set up. Kids enjoy. Great sound. A slight step behind Alexa at the moment. Maybe the more expensive google home has more integration.

I love my Google home mini. The speaker is good quality and has tons of features. Very small and light. The only con for me is no aux port.

This was the highlight of our Christmas party. The family had fun with this, asking questions. The kids were surprised how fast it worked. They asked for a recipe and was impressed with the step by step instructions given. Awesome gift.
