Haven’t used yet as it is a Christmas gift this year, but super excited to begin using the assistant with my Apple home kit to transform my apartment into a smart home.

I bought both VAs to compare. The home mini has better audio quality than the dot. But you can connect the dots to an external speaker to fix that. Overall nice product

I can control all of my lights. I have 6 hue bulbs and an insignia connect wall plug in my small apartment and it works with them all. I can also control my chromecast.

Amazing! Mostly used for Spotify streaming and pairs with the other Google Chromecast I purchased for some older speakers. Also really helpful for checking the weather.

I don't use the google mini to do much in the way of home automation or other ordering-type tasks. I do use it to get the weather, other information and to play music. For these limited purposes it's pretty nice. I will expand to have it start to control lights via special outlets in the room next. I prefer to keep its use limited at the moment and for it to sit out of the way. I would only recommend this item for people who know exactly what they want to use this for and understand the ways in which it may impinge on privacy.

This speaker is definitely the best bang for your buck. It sounds great! Really! I have other Bluetooth speakers that were more expensive and are of less quality.
To top it off it is google voice activated. It is the perfect, l mean PERFECT speaker for podcast. I installed it in my kitchen and I use it every single day.
It’s a no brainer now that it’s is 29.99. The interface with Spotify is just :D

It does as advertised. I also have an Alexa. Very similar, but with two different brands, means different features. Both good products, you can't go wrong with either.

I purchased the Google Mini for upstairs to compliment our original Google home downstairs. It works seamlessly. Now I can use verbal commands upstairs and downstairs.

I think we’re seeing some very good advancement in AI.
Hope Siri will follow.
But still needs another way than Hey google every time even when you’re continuing conversation.
Of course not talking about answeering the speaker’s questions.
