Great for listening to music in the bathroom! Loud and responsive even when water is running.

I have been looking at this mini smart speaker for quite a long time for use in my bedroom. The weekend of Father's day I bought it and tried it out and really liked it, playing music it sounded very nice at half volume and late at night using very low volume it sounded very thin like an AM radio on a station that is just on the edge of being received, kind of squeaky and irritating. But while I had been looking up the Google speakers here on Best Buy I saw their bundling offers so the next day I went back to the store and tried out some of the competitors that still used Google Assistant that were in stock on display and ended up buying the Google Home and this Google Mini. It has worked very nicely, I use the mini in my home gym where I can use it at half volume and the Google Home sounds great at any volume for placement wherever you'd like as long as the room isn't too large and you can connect them together to use somewhat like an intercom and a lot of other useful things, a seemingly endless list and often growing list. It listens very well, I haven't had to repeat myself or had a request misunderstood yet. I'm glad I finally bought these. I previously used Window's smart system and either I wasn't smart enough or it didn't do what I needed it to do.

Well I admit no kidding I made fun of friend who recently got the full sized version. Like what use could that really be. After few days and seeing these on sale for $30 I grabbed one. It is beyond handy to have around , so much so couple days after that I bought one for the bedroom as well. Timers, light control, quick math or conversions. For it's sale price everyone should have one , no joke. I use it several times a day for legit reasons. No gimmicky fun things all real world practical uses. I even after buying my two bought one for a friend.

This Google home mini is fantastic! It works great and is intuitive, and for $29.99 it's definitely worth it! And it looks great in either color!

the google home mini is the same as the normal one but a smaller speaker. Speaker works just fine and is a much better buy than the normal home.

The Home mini works well at controlling smart device's and answering questions. It was simple to set up and has decent sound for a small device.

I love my Google Home mini. I bought 3. Going to give 2 as gifts but one stays here! I have the Google Home (full size) as well as 2 other speakers with Google assistant built-in. Google Assistant is very useful to have around... What time is it? What's the traffic to LAX? What's the weather in Los Angeles? Who are the Rams playing? Set a timer... Set an alarm, play Pandora, find a recipe. There's so much it can do. Unfortunately there's also a lot it doesn't know which can be frustrating. They say it's always learning, but its limitations can still be frustrating. Sometimes you have to word your question in a very specific way before it understands. Still, it's fun to have around and I use it everyday. This mini is a huge bargain!

First experience with Google Home. Sound quality good, functionality good so far, still trying to figure out what application I can use if for.

Good looking home assistant. Speaker not bad for being such a small device. Found it easy to set up.

I was not sure I wanted ()or needed this), but it was so inexpensive, I tried it. The setup was really easy and the assistant works very well. There are always new things I learn it can do and use it more each day. Very convent to say "Ok Google set a timer for 5 minutes" without lifting a hand. Also, it works great with the Nest thermostat too. Keep in mind that this is not a bluetooth speaker, even though it plays music, the sound quality for music is not great. They make better models for that and that is not what this is designed for.

I started out looking for an inexpensive way to add auto-on/auto-sleep Chromecast Audio speakers around the house so I wouldn't have listening gaps when I moved away from my usual listening location. Sound quality didn't need to be super good, just "good enough" - I wanted continuity without pain, not enhanced pleasure. Voice input started out as a disqualifier in my searching; I have Android Auto in my car, and found voice input there to be mostly pain and little gain. But in the twists and turns of my researches, I found that I wasn't going to be paying extra for it, and decided to give it a try. To my immediate and ever growing delight. The sound quality is better than I had hoped for. Google Assistant is much better than what I had in the car (full Google Assistant just came with a recent upgrade, and in-home is a better environment for exploring intelligent assistants). So much so that I now have an Echo Dot as well. The Mini is a much better device than the Dot. In function, there is a lot of overlap, but also some useful differences. I wouldn't want Alexa instead of Google Assistant, but Echo complements Google Home nicely. In the long run, I expect that Google Home Minis will spread themselves throughout the house, accompanied by one, or maybe two, Echo Dots.

This is a perfect way to start out in the Google ecosystem if you plan on switching from a different ecosystem this is the way to go this speaker isn't too expensive and has great sound, it responds to commands and is not to big like said it's perfect way to start a new system or just adding some cool teck to your house or apartment

Works pretty good and the sound is better than expected for such a small item. Works great with my Hue light. The setup was simple and quick.

This little radio packs a big punch. The sound quality and volume are actually really good and I was surprised how loud it could actually go.

I caught an online promotion of the Google Mini on Best Buy and looked up the product. I was not very sure of how the AI would work in real life but bought it nevertheless. This ones a winner all the way really - i was super impressed with the packaging to begin with... you know how some devices are packaged in such a lousy manner but this was super easy to open. It only got better, was so easy to configure & deploy... and lastly, usage.... it is wonderful. It ingests and works through all the requests we have made and we're loving it

works very well, but when playing music, news and during phone calls it is hard to get it attention; sound quality and volume are good enough considering its size, could be used in any rooms including shower.

Still getting used to talking to it but very easy to use and install, works great with other smart devices and easy to get it all connected.

perfect for gift or assisting in multiple tasks! so much fun and easy to use.... highly recommend. speaker quality is excellent! love it!!!

When I got it I opened it immediately and set it up. It was easy to set up, you'll just have to download the Google Home app and pair it to your phone. It sounds decent and loud for a mini speaker assistant.
