I enjoyed it for a couple of days before purchasing a smart bulb and a plug which didn't connect with the google home mini. Purchase a amazon alexa connected in 5 minutes. I do hope google update this soon.

The Google Home mini does everything it says it does, although some features don't function as well as others. It can't read multiple calendars if you have them set up which is unfortunate. The speakers are surprisingly loud. Would use this to replace my Bluetooth speaker but unfortunately it isn't portable and has to be plugged it at all times. Setting timers and reminders is quick and easy. Unfortunately I don't have any other "smart" home products so I wasn't able to use this to its full potential. The white color looks nice but the rubber bottom of the mini is a lint/dust magnet.

If you're looking for a digital assistant with natural voice recognition and have an Android phone, this may be for you. The only drawback is sound quality, but this product isn't really about that: Look for a regular Google Home or Home Max for sound quality.

By placing these around my house the hands free access to music, internet, and more is simplified and cheaper than full google home devices. Creating groups to cast the music is key.

I have an echo and an iphone but google assistant is just leagues beyond both of them. If you embrace to google eco system with calander and photos and such, this is a great little device to add to your life. You can just say something like hey google cast pictures of christmas 2015 onto the living room tv and bam you have a slideshow from google photos. its a great little device and I recommend having one around

I bought 2 of these. I have the main google assistant in the family room and put one mini in the living room and the other in the master bedroom. I am able to use them as a intercom.

Haven't worked with this other than to connect it to the Internet - which was easily accomplished. "She" has some trouble understanding what I ask her to do but we are working on it!

The sound was surprisingly good for its size. For an alternative to the full size version it's great. Price is good too especially if you catch it on sale.

Picked one of these up to go in a bathroom for getting ready in the mornings. Paired up easily with the google home app, and it's quite loud.

Previously I had an Amazon echo dot, it's easy to use even though I don't have many smart devices to control at my house. So I want to have a home mini to compare it with echo dot.
