We've been debating on whether we want to get the Amazon Alexa or Google Home for a long time. The sale price of Google Home Mini was the deciding factor for us, since we only pay $20 per Home Mini. This was an awesome deal! After using the Home Mini, it's actually pretty good but there are many many instances that we thought Google will need more work in order to integrate everything in the home into the Google Home ecosystem. We're sure that Google won't disappoint us and give us constant updates! So far we love the Google Home Mini, even if it's not perfect yet!

It is great to think of something and just ask google to give you information verbally and immediately. Don't have to go to the computer to look up google anymore to get information. Really love being able to turn lights on and off, while setting an atmosphere for the home. I was always afraid of technology and difficulty installing. It's as easy as plug and play. Love it.

I was gifted this for christmas and I love it! It was super easy to set up and could not be more fun to just sit and play with. The Google home mini can do so much like turn lights off and on coffee pots off and on (you have to buy accessories for that function to work) but not only that cool feature it can also play some games with you and entertain you. This is one of my favorite things right now. It’s awesome

This is probably the 5th or 6th Google home I bought. I can't remember. We have a few in our home and in family members homes as well. It does well with recognizing all the commands it is given. I love the fact it can distinguish between everyone in the house. You have to get one for yourself to understand how great it is. Especially for the price. Google has a lot of support for smart devices so get it while you can!

With the much better NLS natural language optimization it makes up for some limited capabilities compared to Alexa in big time
Also if you have chromecast at every room this small devise will be at its full capacity playing songs movies and what not

Sounds good for a small room, down side you can't bluetooth to a larger speaker or amp without google cast.

I love it so much that I went and got a Goggle Home for the living area and kept my mini for the bedroom. Love that it can play music directly from your youtube and it's smarter than Alexa. I gave my Alexa away once I got the Google Home. The only negative thing I noticed compared to Alexa is that it's not as responsive. Sometimes I would have to say Hey Google a few times for it to work. Alexa usually responds right away. The main negative compared to Siri is that Siri gives you verbal response when you activate it. Google lights up but gives no verbal response.

Great to control compatible devices, but the market seems divided between Alexa and Google for some services. Moreover, there is conflict between the google assistant on the phone and the Google home especially when making calls using voice commands

I was an apple fan for a very long time, but recently switched to Google phone for the superior camera. My cousin had multiple Google homes and I loves the ease of them so I bought a couple of my own and I am not disappointed! I bought lights so go with them so I can voice command when to turn on and off the lights, any Google to play my music. I just love them and the ease of use.

I purchased three on the spur of the moment to augment my GOOGLE Home. I placed one in the kitchen, one in the finished basement and one in the master bed room. I am just getting in putting together a smart home and didn't realize that I could link them until I started setting them up. Setup was smooth and quick and now I can access GOOGLE anywhere in the house as well as control the Smart devices I have installed.
