I bought the Google Mini because too many times Alexa (Echo) states she doesn't have any information on the question. The same question asked the same way is answered by the Google Mini.

We have this set up in my wife's office. It works well but I think I like the Echo interface better. We bought this just to check it out and compare to the Echo Dot. I find the Echo Dot a bit more stream lined.

I love the Google home Mini the only reason I gave 4 is bc I have two and they get confused with each other. At times it won't to the commands because it says there is a glitch that can be very aggravating. I can get up and turn off the light quicker than it will.

Had an Echo for 2 years and with just one week with the Home mini already more impressed. Granted the sound isn't better but the AI in understanding questions is already worth the price.

This speaker has been great! The volume is good. It's small and doesn't take up much room.

I didn't know how much we would use the Google Home Mini other than as a novelty, but we are finding it very helpful in many ways. As it continues to learn, it will be even more useful!

Great addition to a smart home. I use mine to control my lights and AC. This little gadget is now how I get my weather and iCal appointment reminders every morning. Great gift idea too.

Have an Echo Dot, but for the price wanted to try this too. Works great, better at answering random questions than Alexa, but can't connect to my Amazon music, so it's limited in that capacity. If your house, and your life, are Google, this is a good buy product.

I have a google home and lots of chromecasts and audiocasts so it was a no brainier to switch out my echo dot from my master bath. I wish this had the audio output like the dot. But the speaker is loud enough that I can deal since it works in my ecosystem better.

Affordable way to get into home assistants. I have both Alexa devices and Google Homes. I preferred Alexa initially but as the Google Home matured I shifted my home over. It’s not as good at Alexa at understanding the difference members of my family but it seems more useful as it has access to Googles library of information and is able to reply with answers, where Alexa would reply with an I don’t know.
