Better than Alexa! I have both and in the begining Alexa was better, then they put too much into Alexa and she is now very unresponsive and makes numerous mistakes where google is spot on almost every time!

I was supposed to get a $10 Best Buy coupon via email and I have not gotten it yet. After I bought the Google many for $29 I left my email address which was our [email protected] and have not received anything

Better than Amazon's Echo

Much better than Amazon's Echo products IMO. Sleek and aesthetic design, good audio, integrates well with a host of smart home products. Only gripe is no aux input and bluetooth to speakers (unless you have/buy a Chromecast).

The but is simple, I kept the Amazon echo instead because I was able to connect it via Bluetooth. The Google mini can't do that unless you have crome cast. That's an extra expense I didn't want to pay during the black Friday sales.

Wow!!! What an awesome product! After a week of using it, I like it more than my echo dot. For the price and its capabilities, this is a must have for every household (even if you don't have smart devices)

Nice little speaker that does what it’s supposed to. Currently have it in the garage and volume at two is enough to fill room. Easy to connect to other google homes we have.

I now have 2 of these. they work very well and integrate nicely with a few of the smart devices I have. I primarily use it as an alarm to give me news and play music in the mornings. also gives me traffic updates for my work commute. also handy for controlling lights and robovac. no longer have to reach for the light now and i can easily start the robovac with just a voice command. i wish my kids were this easy to get to work...haha.

I love this thing! You can ask it anything. It will play music, answer questions and even play games with you. There are some things it hasn't learned to do yet but my understanding is Google is working on improvements all the time. I haven't gotten one yet but I've been told if you add Chromecast you can vocally control your tv. You can also buy special light bulbs that you can control through this speaker and maybe other things too, I'm not sure.
