I was debating on Alexa or Google Home and am glad I went with Google Home. I got it during Black Friday as a good deal so I was weary about getting it but so far it has been good. The only issue is sometimes it doesn't understand unless you speak clear and directly what you want.

This a great product especially if you have children. You can call one from one room to another witthout hollering and also when you are not home. You can broadcast on all speakers at once. Very cool

One of my friends has a google home and it was so much fun to use and made everything around the home simpler to do! I use my google home mini while I cook, while I'm doing homework or housework, and as a timer. I ask it the questions that I always type in to google. I ask it about the weather, I ask it for recipes, store hours, what's safe for my dog to eat, etc. I also use it as a speaker when I'm listening to music or a podcast.

It is really nice to ask google anytime we have a question and it can answer. Great product to use. Especially for me it works really good with music, Chromecast on TV with youtube and google photos.

I had a couple of white ones. We have a blast with these things. They are hilarious in their responses. Super fun for the kids. and the gray looks better in places like your living room or bed room.

I purchased this to compare with the Amazon dot. I really don't like the placement of the lights as it makes them hard to see as opposed to the very visible ring on the dot. The sound is better in the home mini but the dot connects via bluetooth to any speaker and it has a audio jack to physically plug in a speaker if you want.
The actual assistant I found easier to use with the dot so I prefer the dot over the home mini. I also hated having to say "hey google" or "ok google" as the wake up phrase!

I got this speaker for free on a deal and bought an amazon echo dot 2 at the same time, I wasnt expecting much from it since it was free.
First thing I noticed is that it understands me much better and gives me better results than amazon's.
Second thing, is that the speaker is so much more powerful! I even had my mini soundlink bose speaker die on me and didnt need to buy another one, this one will just do the job on a smaller room.

The Google mini has nice audio quality and is not necessary to have an amazon account like the Echo dot. it is only missing a headphone jack, otherwise a perfect Christmas gadget to give or receive.

The google Home is great, smart speaker able to connect to Spotify and iHeartRadio also using the vast search engine of google you could find almost anything with your voice. And last a great assistant if you have a few smart Home products like the Phillips smart bulbs like I do.

My husband and I are very pleased with the Google Home Mini. We have three of these, one for each floor in our house and we love using it. We are able to turn on our lights and our thermostat just by asking Google. Google Home Mini is also very efficient when you want to know an answer to a question but you can’t access the internet on your phone or computer. The answer is just a question away by saying “Hey Google...”

Going to be honest with all the readers. I didn't know what to expect from this because asking it about the weather and play music. This little thing does a lot more. You can ask it to tell you a riddle, play a guessing game, tell it goodnight to play natural sounds in the woods at night, check on a package being delivered, and so much more. Even my girlfriend enjoys this and she is the most techless person on the planet.
