I started my home automation journey with Lutron and control 4! Siri hit the market and seemed cool on paper. I let Amazon Alexa mature through 2 generations & jumped in. I picked up the google mini to supliment the search engine power that Amazon lacks. To control lights, switches, fans, pandora on my home audio I'm with Alexa. When my kids need answers to a questions for school, "who's smarter than a 5th grader" style, we all ask google. Great design, ease of use, smart enough to control a house but it's not as ubiquitous as echo.

This is just what you want when you're trying to get into AI but don't want to spend too much or buy something super fancy. The mini does just about everything you'd need, plus it looks much better than some of the competitor products.

The speaker has great sound and can pick up voice commands easily from across the room. Small foot print can go anywhere and it looks good.

I bought this for my uncle. He loves it, listens to music at night and enjoys being able to ask questions and get answers.

Even if you are heavily invested in the Echo ecosystem, I still think a google home mini is a must have smart home piece of kit for those who use google services and products like YouTube, Photos, PlayMusic, chromecast, android phone, etc. The Google Home integrates well with existing google hardware/software, providing unique features the Alexa just doesn't touch. It's a great purchase for $50, and a great way to make your home smart home, or add a little bit of additional smart home functionality to a room already has an Alexa.

One of the best and useful product i have purchased. I did not linked to any home equipment yet. We mainly use to explore the huge google database to educate & entertain us. I am sure it will keep updating new features in the future.

We have 4 kids aging between 4 yrs to 12 yrs. Before this, all of them used to fight over tablet and smartphones as soon as they come back from school. Since the time we have bought Google home mini, the scene has changed. Now they all play GK games with google, ask it to play their favorite songs, setup reminders for their completion of screen time and lots of other things. I am not sure how long will this small smart gadget keep them occupied but for now I am very happy as I don't get to hear their fight over tablet and phones.

Love this little thing. Its sleek design and its portability is a great selling point. I gave it 4 stars because the actual assistant is still a work in progress. This also isn't as loud as the Google Home (obviously). At most it might sound as loud as the highest speaker volume on your smartphone. (maybe slightly louder).
