    It’s amazing what it can do for u! Change your channel, listen to white noise, play ur Spotify playlist on ur surround sound speakers. It can remember ur fav colors, read u the news and it speaks to ur other devices at home.

    This is my first smart home speaker. I started with Philips hue color lights all over. It’s so much easier to control my lights now with just my voice. I can control many of my chrome cast ready devices and speakers. Everything just seems to work. You do have to play around with the google home app and get to know the ecosystem to get the most out of it. I will definitely be gettting another one in the future. One negative thing I’d say is that there Is only one speaker and when I’m playing fairly loud music on my sound system, the google home mini just won’t hear me. I have to yell sometimes which is a bit absurd.

    So easy to set up. Just plug in the power and tap Google home on your phone. Google will ask a few easy questions from there and you are done. It is very responsive to my voice and usually understands my request correctly. However...when I wanted to add my other devices that were not made by Google, I discovered that I had to install the other company's app and then link Google home to it. I tried to do that on my Windows 10 desktop only to discover that Google home app is not available for PC version not even running in tablet mode. So now I have 4 different smart home apps on my phone that was already starved for memory.

    This is a great tool for a lot of things. You can use WeMos, you can use SmartThings to turn devices lights and appliances on and off. Great for the holiday to turn your Christmas tree on and off and ask it all kinds of questions, calcultor,, read you stories, ask for grilled cheese recipes, movies at the local theater. Driving directions, the weather today, tomorrow, next week. Set sleep timers listen to music Google Play, Etc. Add items to the grocery list and retrieve it later. Play all kinds of games- multiplayer . This is definitely a must-have for any family.

    This is now my second google home mini that I have and I can't say enough good things about it. Honestly would i have two of them if I didn't like it. I can listen to music, set alarms, timers, get news, and also see what my day has in store for me. You can also control lights and other smart featured from the Google Home and they keep adding new features all the time.

    Already was using Google Home in the family room, bought Google Home Mini for the Master Bedroom. I have it integrated with Smartthings, Chromecast and Nest. Enjoying the lights, TV and thermostat control via voice as a bonus in addition to using the smartest home speaker in the market with new features being added automatically transparently with software updates. So many features yet to try like phone calling, intercom, shopping etc. Put this system together after a lot of indepth research and have no second thoughts about it, very satisfied about the system.

    affordable enough to equip whole home

    The Minis are an affordable means to add Google Assistance throughout your house. Still needs a lot of development but the basics are there with promising potential and transparent software upgrades as enhancements roll out continruously. We have 2 Homes, 3 Mini's, and 3 Chromes throughout the house (paired with Android phones and other home automation products). The Mini's have surprisingly good volume but get the Home if you want quality music playback. But, the Mini can add voice controls to entertainment systems already in place (paired with Google Chrome).

    I have a Google Home and this compares favorably to it at low volumes. Same functionality, just in a smaller package. A bit difficult to move because two sides control volume but if you watch what you’re doing it’s fine

    Assistant that never stops learning

    I'm very happy about the Google home assistant. I linked it to a smart-plug that allows me to turn a bedside lamp on and off by voice, it controls my TV via a Chromecast and it even wakes me up in the morning with news recaps I chose and interesting facts. It gets updated pretty often. I thought it was missing a feature to create custom commands to trigger several actions, it has been added few days after I bought it! I can now say "Hey google, I'm going to sleep" and the assistant will stop playing movie/music, shutdown the TV and turn the lights off!
