Very nifty device. I myself am a fan to AMAZON “Alexa” devices. Fire stick and all that. But to have this google device and have it be capable w/ Alexa is a big game changer. I can control the rest of my house with it. But for me what got me was the volume. It is clear. Not distorted. And very loud. I like and would recommend this device.

Great product. My teenagers have it set to turn lights on at a certain time. They can set reminders for their chores and school assignments. My con: as a mother: they set voice recommendation so I can't leave them reminders. They definitely like it more than the other brand-they gave that one to me. Items also arrived in plenty of time for Christmas, shipping was very good.

The Google Home Mini has been helpful but it still has a long way to go. I like the fact that it remembers what you just asked it, but I don't like the fact I have to keep saying "OK Google" to keep the conversation going.

This is my third Google Home mini purchase. I snagged this one for my secret Santa present on Black Friday. I mostly use mine for playing music, turning on lights, turning on my TV, and watching TV with my chromecast. This thing is well worth the money if you’re lazy like me and would rather say “Ok Google, turn on my lights!” than get up and hit the switch.

Bought this for a White Elephant gift. Hoping I will go home with it. Love to buy gifts that I think others will like and would like to receive myself.

My wife uses this a lot. She uses it to set timers for cooking, convert different units of measurements, to set reminders for her tasks, to add stuff to shopping list when she is going through stuff in refrigerator or pantry. She calls me up while doing her work. It a great product for her
Sadly we can't create different lists, remove things from the list, connect it to our Smart TV. Occasionally we noticed that it will say something on its own which is weird.

I purchased this after having enjoyed using the larger Google Home.
In no way does the mini sacrifice any range when using it, which is impressive.

Is a great practical and useful tool. Was an economic buy especially on black Friday. Can place it in almost any room and it will turn on and off electronics, set alarm, set up a good night routine, answer questions, will really do anything that Google can do. If for some reason you stump it, it will apologize and explain to you that it is still learning.

I orginally passed on the mini and bought a Google home due to what I thought would be superior sound. I recieved a mini as part of a promotion and must say, these little guys kick out an impressive performance. I mostly use just for the voice command function for all of my other products. I know have two in my house and very happy with them.

The Google shone is very useful. I use it to play music, know the weather, and tell me what I have on my schedule. But it sometimes gets glitchy with the WiFi connection and it also doesn’t recognize my voice well enough.

My opinion is that this Google Mini is a better product than the Amazon Echo. I have both and the GM does a much better job with information searches.

While it may not be perfect, it is helpful in many ways. The shopping list feature is great for my young kids to tell us when we run out of something.
