You’re looking to get into the world of Google assistant and the connected home stuff to Google then this is a no-brainer first purchase. It’s small and compact and has all the features that the full-size products hat. The only negative is that the speaker isn’t that wonderful. Works great as a desk or a next your bed but don’t expect to be able to hear it across the room.

I owned the Google Home for some time, when I needed a gift for a close friend. The Google Home Mini was the perfect gift for this person. It doesn't require a lot of technical expertise to set, but once done is a wonderful complement to a home network. After setup and use for a few weeks, I got a very appreciative "thank you" for my gift.

I wasn't originally ever planning to buy any kind of Smart speaker, but I got this Home Mini for free when I bought my TV. It's been good so far! I'm a college student and don't spend a lot of money on things like Spotify Premium let alone any Smart Home devices, but it's been a good addition to my living room regardless! It will definitely be much more useful along with Smart Home devices if you own, or plan to own, any of those.

Got a really great deal on Google Home mini as a gift at BBY that came with additional gift card. Product is simple enough and works well as a voice assistant. Just don't expect too much sound quality from the speakers.

Okay, I admit, the Wife really wanted this, and I wanted the Echo, so, we compromised, and got both. Time will only tell who the long term winner is.

This is the second one I’ve purchased. They seem to integrate well with IFTTT and Stringify. This second unit will go in the other side of the house.

We have an Amazon Echo, but we found that we had to give commands in very specific ways to get the results we wanted. That's where the Google Home Minis shine brightly. They always understand, and their speakers are really powerful for such a small device. We really love having this around to play music or sounds or ask for weather or anything else that comes to mind.

Google's answer to Alexa. A great device I have bought multiple for friends. They all enjoy it. It is a great platform that works with multiple apps.

Already have a Google Home for the living room, wanted a mini for the home office. Works great! What's odd is I think the mini sounds better then the original Google Home...maybe it's me? Anyone else?Other than that the plus about getting another is I can play music in the "home group" on both of them and as I walk around the house the music continues perfectly in sync.

The Google Home mini does everything it says it does, although some features don't function as well as others. It can't read multiple calendars if you have them set up which is unfortunate. The speakers are surprisingly loud. Would use this to replace my Bluetooth speaker but unfortunately it isn't portable and has to be plugged it at all times. Setting timers and reminders is quick and easy. Unfortunately I don't have any other "smart" home products so I wasn't able to use this to its full potential.

Google have good products in general, easy configure. However, to lower the volume is definitely a challenge, to increase is easy to adjust, but not the other way around.
