I bought one for my self and my parents. They love how it reminds them to do things. I like it. some times it don't hear you, or it will say something on its own. Other than that it works great.

This product is awesome! I own Alexa and she never has the answer for anything.Don't even waste your money. Google knows everything and if they don't, they suggest ideas for you. Google ROCKS!!!

I am a little concerned about how clean this is going to stay, which, is why I only purchased one in White, all of the others are Black. We shall see how Alexa gets along with this new friend...

Small and effective. I even use it for music sometimes and the sound is decent for the size.

I feel most people could get a lot of use out of the affordable gadget. From simply asking questions to catching up on news to playing your favorite music to name a few of many things it can do.

I love this product so much that I bought four of them. My mom is 78 years old and loves her Google Home. It is so fun going to her house and hearing her say "Ok Google, play Elvis." I love it. My teenagers use theirs to play jokes on one another and make conference calls with each other. My college aged son uses it to play music while he studies and entertain. I love this device...."Hey Google, tell me a joke." Love it.

Our daughter wanted to use this to connect to Bluetooth - and it doesn't. But did work well as a Google home and a good speaker.

Better than Alexa

I've owned multiple Echo Dots through the years, and they are very good, but the Google system has impressed me more. It seems to be more advanced in understanding different styles of speech. English is my second language, so I speak English with an accent, and sometimes Alexa had issues understanding me. Google seems to have built a more flexible system that allows me to speak to it more freely and haven't had any issues so far.

It works well most of the times, except Amazon Echo is slightly better with its voice shopping commands and the special discounts one can get thanks to my best friend Alexa. That said, I have one of both and I use them equally reliably with all the home automation devices.

This thing is like having a hired assistant in your home at all times, she settles arguments, gives recipes, plays great music, can broadcast throughout the home, sets alarms and timers. We use this so much I'll never be able to be in a room in my home again without one. Once you get comfortable speaking to and remembering shes just sitting there for you it'll change the way you live! Also at $29 you really can't go wrong, definitely give this a try.

The Google Mini has now become my little companion. I get news updates, even traffic/weather conditions to the moment. My kids love it too, because it does math as well. Fun and constructive.
