    This little dude has helped us tremendously in being able to yell at our kids from one side of the house to the other. I can also say I love you, but if I'm being honest, it's more often about cleaning up and telling them dinner is ready. It's also fun to randomly play "Baby Shark" in your teenager's bedroom. Easy to setup. Even an adult can do it.

    This product is great. I have amazon Echo and this in the home for different reasons. Combine this with Chromecast audio and it turns my hi-fi system into a Spotify machine. It does a great job at alerting me to local inquires which the Echo struggles with. Although it doesn't work as well in my experience with the Phillips hue system, especially when picking colors and scenes.

    The google home mini is a great assistant. It is easy to setup and pair with google chrome cast! It’s great to be able to be cooking and not have to grab the remote, instead ask google to change it to your favorite show on Netflix! The speech recognition and answering of any questions you would normally “google” is also a positive. The only negative is there are not as many smart home applications compatible with google mini compared to Amazon’s Alexa. Make sure to research specific compatibility before buying accessories.

    Black Google Home Mini

    Love this thing! I bought it while it was on sale for $35 which is a pretty good price, normally $55. Comes with one GE light bulb which is already paired in the Home Google app. Nothing additional to download to make it work. Other brand name bulbs you'll have to download apps to make them work. The setup process was very easy. Install the smart bulb and plug in the Google Home Mini in the same room. Since the bulb is Bluetooth-based, it will only work a short distance from the Google Home Mini. 1. Download the Google Home app to your iPhone, iPad or Android device. Upon opening the app, I saw a banner asking me to "Setup 1 Device". 2. The app walked me through setting up the Google Home Mini first. 3. The app then automatically asked me if I wanted to setup the bulb. It quickly found the bulb and added it to my Google Home profile. Because I liked this so much I bought 3 more combo units (Home Mini & GE Bulb) and have them all over. One of my favorite things is when I go to bed I tell the Home Google Mini "good night" and I have it set to tell me my reminders and weather for the next day. Then it asks what time I would like the alarm set for. I haven't been over sleeping since I put one of these in my bedroom. Recommend to everyone.

    The Near-Perfect Smart Home Addition

    I purchased a Google home mini for nearly every large room in the house so that no matter where I was, it would hear "Hey Google". I use it to control my lights, tv, and cameras. I recently took a vacation and was able to pretend someone was home using Google home. An additionally fun function is being able to link them together and play music in the whole house.

    Best holiday gift for the season

    You are looking at least expensive and most innovative product for holiday gifting Google has to offer. It has stylish looking (like a donut) which beats the Amazon Echo and easy to setup and use as home assistance. I enjoy telling "hey google" to play music, family games with my kid and news briefing in the morning to start my day. Your best investment ever for $30 when it was on sale.

    If you want the weather forecast or current temperature its great. Beyond that its very limited. If you ask it to play a specific song it'll probably only be available if you subscribe for $9.99 a month which seems extreme. If you ask for an artist it will give you a "mix" which might be that artist or maybe another similar artist. Most questions it will tell you "I can't help with that". This is still in the toy stage.

    google home mini vs alexa echo dot

    |

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had the echo dot for over a year before I bought the google home mini. I bought it because sometimes I'll ask Alexa questions that I'll have to google because it doesn't know the answer. But as time went on Alexa has been improved and can answer a whole lot more than when I originally bought it. I ask both of them the same questions and they pretty much give me the same answers. Maybe google will give a little more details but so far there has only been a couple of questions that google knew over Alexa. But if you have prime Alexa is the choice hands down. They have tons of free music and if you have a fire stick or tv tons of free movies as well. So if you don't have prime, google is the way to go. It can connect to bluetooth devices, control smart devices, deliver custom news feeds, set up calendars, make lists, tell jokes, sing songs and play games just the same as the echo dot. I like the Alexa app and the google home app is pretty good also. The big difference is amazon prime. I don't subscribe to any google services other than gmail and youtube but it seems like you can utilize the google drive to upload music and play it through the google mini. I have done this with Alexa. I have bought albums on Amazon and some have digital mp3's of the album that you can stream at anytime off of the dot. You can favorite playlists on Amazon and both can play from pandora and spotify just the same. So there you go if you have prime the Amazon devices are for you if not google will allow you to do all the same things as the Alexa devices.
