I have elderly in-laws who are gradually getting more comfortable with technology. They recently got smartphones, but don't fully use them yet. I got the home mini for them as an easy way to introduce the Google Assistant into their lives. They like that they can get the weather and the weather forecast, plus information about different topics just by asking. Unfortunately, these devices are somewhat limited, and you don't always get the information you want. Anyway, it's a start, it's cheap, and it works pretty well for their needs.

A fun and helpful addition to the home. It won’t cook breakfast but it does entertain and control necessary tasks in the home. There’s a lot of features to learn!

I got a couple of the google minis for my house. Honestly, i didnt think they would get much use. But then I connected them to the bluetooth bulbs for handsfree light control. It's great when coming in the house with hands full of groceries and tell Google to turn on the light. I talk to this thing all of the time now. You can create phrases that string together commands. For example, when I say good morning, Google turns on my light, tells me the weather, the traffic for my commute, and news headlines.

Came with the purchase of a tile 4 pc set. Good little device. Works great with an iPhone but you can do more things like texting with an android. Doesn’t work with my firestick but will work with a chromecast. Better assistant than Siri. Understand me way better and plays music from my Pandora or Spotify so I don’t have to actually have the music on my phone or Apple Music.

We got a couple of these to supplement a Nest Hello doorbell. Works amazing for that. Announces when someone rings the doorbell, which we required since we didn't have an internal doorbell. The sound quality is pretty decent, and surprisingly loud. For the price we're quite happy with it, but I would choose something else if I wanted to do much music listening. (I hear the second gen is better for that.) Great for the price to get cheaply into the Google ecosystem.

Now have two google minis and one google home. One google mini installed in the basement, one minion 2nd floor and google home one the main floor. Each works independently or can work with each other for music or with activating the Hue lights through the house. With the broadcast feature can contact any one on each floor. Very happy with the product.
