The speaker is as good as any Bluetooth one of similar size but those don’t search for tunes on the internet, adjust the lights, change channels on the tv, tell you if you’ll need an umbrella today, translate a conversation between you and your new Italian friend while standing in the kitchen or talk down a recipe for a new dish you wanna try.

Bought these for each of our children. At a minimum, worth buying just for use as alarm clocks, but love hearing them ask google questions about their world!
Speaker is not great but meets expectations for a device of this size.

Much funnier than Alexa, Google Mini a Must Buy~! Get both and make them talk or ask each the same question to see, but Google has more pre installed features.

I am very happy with the Google Mini. It out works and out answers my Alexa that it sits next to. If you are making a choice i think the Mini is the way to go.

We have a regular Google Home in our kitchen that my daughter loves to play games on, hear stories, listen to music, etc. but sometimes she drives me crazy with it, so she got one for Christmas for her room. She's loving playing with it, and I like that I can broadcast from the kitchen to her bedroom that dinner is ready without having to yell or walk down the hall. :)

Works as expected. Excited to see tweaks and improvements over next several years. Need to be specific in how you word inquiries, so will be a learning curve.

I have Google home and decided to buy the mini for other rooms. Works just as well as the home but the clarity for music isn't quite a good but still like it.

This is a great product on its own but at the sale price, it's a no-brainer. So many useful features and excellent tools for keeping up with the modern world.

This was a welcome addition to an existing group of Google Minis and Lenovo 10" Smart Display. Pleased with the network that has been established in the home along with the capability that it allows us to use it as an intercom system. The sound has been really good and the unit has performed quite well. I've already been recommending it to friends! Great color also :)
