Nice to have these scattered around the house. We have them play music, set alarms, and answer questions.

I was given a Google Home but needed the same thing in my bedrooms. When this came out I bought several but forgot about having one for the back porch. Now I have one. I love these mini's!!

I love my google home mini. Though it is the smallest one, it is still pretty powerful. Audio sounds amazing. I also purchase the WeMo wi-Dj plug, so I can control my bedroom light with it.

This was a great addition to our Google Home. We set up a couple of the minis throughout the house and have them synced. This provides a lot of great features. However, the sound quality is significantly reduced from the Google Home. It's expected considering the size.

This is some great home tech. This is the smaller version of its big brother, the goggle home. I believe this works better than the amazon one. The mini performers great for everyday tasks.

Does everything the Google Home does, but in a smaller, cuter package. Audio is fine for basics, or for casting music in a pinch. It actually seems to hear me better than my "classic" Home.

The smarter home

I was slow to getting into the smart home idea, but after seeing how cheap the Google Home Mini was, I decided to give it a try. I love it. Bought several more mini's and have one in every room of my house. Really enjoy playing music to a group and having the same song playing as I go from room to room.
Something I didn't think about, but now use everyday is the Relaxing Sounds feature. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is great!

Great tone and clarity in the sound. Very responsive mic when speaking to it; it is rare you will need o repeat your question or command. This unit only has one speaker in it, it is slightly noticeable in some music as compared to the more expensive models.... But, it is the affordable unit, costs must be shaved somewhere to keep the sale price down. For the cost this is an excellent unit and purchase.

This is a good effort by Google to compete with Amazon products. I compared both, preferred Google because I use Gmail a lot. Functionally both are 100% same. This Mini is at Version -10.0, long way to go to V 1.0

This thing is great and gives us answers to dumb questions when we're too lazy to look them up. But it is ALWAYS LISTENING, even when you don't think it it, it is. I was talking to my boyfriend about how I wanted to get new pillows, never looked them up or anything. The google home is connected to my phone so I can play music and such. A day later, I got so many ads for pillows on my phone. It's crazy and creepy.

The Google home mini is a great inexpensive assistant. The sound quality is better compared to Echo Dot and it is more likely to get a question right when asked a question than Alexa is. As of the writing of this review, Feb 2018, Alexa seems to be a more complete assistant in terms of skills that she can do so I would recommend Google Home Mini if you are going to use it stand alone but the Echo Dot if you want integration with other things.
