The price is right with these home minis. I bought three. We use one in the guest bathroom, one in the kitchen and one in my son’s room. With the google home hub (about $125) in the master bedroom, this has given us the ability to have a smart home coming in at under $500.00!
I wish the volume was a bit louder on the minis, but they are mini— and are easily heard in each individual room. Understands our speaking to it clearly and uses the commands you give quickly. Really good speaker for the price!

Bought this for my daughter. It is a neat product. Definitely worth the money. Of course we have a couple of them so when you say OK Google, more then one can answer.

Sound is fine for a bedroom speaker. We got one for each of the kids’ rooms. The kids’ biggest gripe is that you can’t choose a particular song to play on the Mini’s, it says you have to have YouTube premium (we also bought a Hub for the kitchen and you can select a song on that one without Premium, not sure why there’s a difference). If I were to do it again I’d either get more of the Hubs or explore the option of switching to Alexa.

Fun device to have around the house. Great conversation piece. Nice to have with kids, as they ask the most off the wall questions, and the responses can be hilarious

As with most google products, I find them to be great. For a smart home speaker, they provide better answers and audio quality compared to amazon echo. Well worth it!

Great value at the $30 discount price paid, but not Bluetooth speaker capable without more intermediate device help? Bad decision. I have both echo and mini. Echo kicks it so I use it most.

My mom loves google so I got this as a gift. Comparable to my amazon echo but I love amazon shopping but this works great if you have a smart tv and google ecosystem.

I already owned 2 Amazon echo devices when I purchased the Google Mini. Comparing them side by side I have to say that the Google Mini seems to be more knowledgeable.
