Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it! I can broadcast message to the kids upstairs, set wake up alarms, and play music all around the house with my mini network.

Pros Great design Decent sound Reasonable price point Conversational assistant Easy setup Cons Limited smart home compatibility Speaker isn't very loud Needs to be plugged in at all times

I have been waiting on this particular item since the Google Home was announced last year. The compact and sleek design allow it to easily blend far better than its older brother. I currently now have 2 of them paired with the rest of my Google Cast devices including the Google Home, which has seamlessly integrated and made my home smarter. If you are on the fence regarding assistance, Google is the standard and the price for entry is now more affordable. Once you get one, its hard not to add more to do more!!!

Has a good sound. Use it with my phone to listen to music outside swimming or indoors cleaning house. I like that it is compact and easy to use. I do suggest if you don’t want your conversations repeated or accidentally sent to someone turn mic of and always unplug. They are very smart! I got it free with my Hp with Google purchase. You can’t beat Best Buy and their deals.

I am a lazy guy. Google helps me to be more lazy. Thanks to home automation. I can play songs, set alarm. Make calls from my phone.

Love this so much better than the Echo Dot. The sound quality is more clear and it seems to understand commands more successfully.

The Google Home Mini follows conversation better than my Amazon Echo Alexa. We have had the Amazon Alexa in our house for over two years. It does not always understands what you are saying and you have to repeat yourself on several time but the Google Home Mini understands my question or commands. I haven’t had to repeat myself with Mini I now ask my questions from my Google Home Mini instead of my Amazon Alexa. The only thing better about my Alexa is all my home automation devices are compatible with Alexa but not all with Google Home Mini. Until Google improves integration with third party smart home devices; I will have both Amazon Echo Dot and Google Home Mini next to each other.

Works great, much better speaker then it’s competitior. This is my secong google home product. It does son much more. Easy setup!

If you love all things Google, then the Google Home Mini is for you. Owning a Chromecast is definitely something worth purchasing by the way. Not only does it enable the Home Mini to turn your tv on and off for you (cheesy, I know; mind you, I do not own a smart tv!), it can cast anything from Netflix and Youtube by the usage of your voice. If you're feeling like you're not gaining enough control of the devices, everything you ever need to know is IN YOUR GOOGE HOME settings (both on iOS and Google Play stores). Setup is incredibly easy, and the device itself is lightweight, portable, and affordable. Teaching adults how to use this device is also very simple (trust me, I would know). Lastly, the volume, is quite incredible and very powerful. adjustments to the volume are easy to control as well. The ONE thing I would want the Google Home Mini to accomplish is to play the volume from Chromecast when it's enabled on to my television. Even with it's bluetooth capability, it doesn't, but it does with my AppleTV 4th Gen. So please do keep that in mind. Otherwise, I see a lot of improvements with Google Home Mini in the near future and it's a stellar investment.

We already owned a "full size" Google Home that we utilize on a daily basis in our family room and couldn't resist the Christmas sale price to buy a Mini for each of our bedrooms. From setting timers when we're cooking in the kitchen to listening to all the music in my Google Play library, I can't say enough great things about the versatility of Google Home. It's extremely easy to set up and in my opinion looks better than its competitors. You never knew you needed Google Home...until you get Google Home.

Google Home-Mini is a great assistant much as the Google app on your phone, except it is always on in my home and hears me from quite a distance. One downside is that it has no direct plug-in for speakers etc. However, the speakers in this Mini are clear, crisp and loud enough for me to hear when in another room. I don't have other Smart devices connected to it yet but am looking forward to doing so. Even if you do not see yourself living in a mega mecca of Smart supplies, it's fun to ask Google so many things and because it has access to everything that is on the regular Google search engine, it is extremely smart! Will it evolve over time like the Echo or Echo -Dot? I don't know.

I really like the color and size of it. The quality of sound is pretty good for the size/price. I would recommend it to a friend.

Bought one Home mini. . . liked it so much, mouth a second! . . . Liked it so much bought two new Nest Minis (generation 2). Have one in the garage, kitchen, office, and bedroom. So much fun with a service. I use Spotify. Very easy to set up and sounds great! And inexpensive! Enjoy!

If you are looking for the power of google in a compact space. This is great. And at the lower prices now, it is convenient to have them located in many places around the house. This is NOT a home theater quality speaker replacement...so not sure why people are "disappointed in sound quality". However this IS a great speaker to have in the kitchen when the kids want to hear some tunes. This is a great speaker to give your google now update, check the weather, and ask, "who do the Warriors play tonight?"

Set-up was as easy as my Full size Google Homes. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality once I tweaked the bass and treble controls. We are using the mini in our kitchen and it has had no problem hearing us. The only thing that I find awkward is having to touch the sides of the mini to adjust the volume unless you use voice control to do it. The mini has plenty of weight and a nice rubber bottom so it stays put. If your tied into the Google ecosystem, I would not hesitate to purchase the mini.

The google home has completely change the way I lazy. With my Chromecast I can cast YouTube and Netflix with my voice, I can turn my tv off and adjust the volume all without leaving the comfort of my blanket fort. I have the Philip hue lights and can have Google turn them on and off to my desires. If you have an android phone you can create some complex triggers with other app plugins and Tasker. Google Home has increased my level of laziness to unimaginable hights. And this isn't even my final form.

I always wanted to try a Google Home product and with the Mini, I have entered into this new world of AI at home! I love it! It's small, very cool design and the most impressive thing is that the speaker is very loud! It's ideal to play music with the connected account, I am actually swtiching from my old JBL Bluetooth speaker to this. The configuration is really easy: just download the Google Home app and follow the instructions on the smartphone: I have done it on a iPhone and I have had no issue.

Already had the original, but this will fit a lot more discreetly - but still do all the wonderful things I've come to expect.

Overall a great product. Compact and integration is very good. I was afraid recognition would be an issue but turned out great.

Very affordable for what you get. The speaker can get pretty loud for being so small and the Google Assistant is very helpful.
