Have two of these in the home along with a Google Home. It's nice to be able to control smart home devices without having to reach for your phone.

I love these some much I bought additional for every guest bedroom. My guests absolutely love my Google mini. I use to set alarms, get weather updates, play sleep music, get recipes and get the latest news headlines. During Game Night everyone takes turns asking Google to play their favorite songs, tell jokes, flip coins etc. I love my Google Mini!

I have 6 of these around my house. It is great to request any artist or type of music and be able to hear it in only certain areas or in the entire house from every speaker. My family also uses the broadcast option to communicate. The speaker has plenty of sound power to sound good. Google Assistant is great to have when ever I need it.

Love our Google home mini. My only complaint would be the mic is sometimes hard of hearing as it's placed towards the bottom. I've had to use the app to turn down it playing music so Google could listen to us again.

Works Great With Small Problem

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Google Mini works great. I can tell it to do something from across the room and it does it. Occasionally it may miss understand what I say, but sometimes I don't talk clearly. Probably my problem. The only other annoying thing is I have it in the living room and someone on the tv (either in a show or a commercial.) says Ok Google, it tries to respond. I probably just have to change the key words to activate it.
I would buy it again and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested.

I bought these as gifts for Christmas so I will be updating after Christmas Day. What I can tell you is that I chose this one over Alexa in efforts to have it be more of a conversation. Hoping my girls will love it.

Received a google home and also a google Home mini for Christmas. I love them both. It is very accurate in listening to commands and very precise. The only thing I can say since I own both is that I am able to hear a noticeable difference in sound quality. The google Home is much louder and an overall better quality speaker. I still would recommend the mini because the price is more than half of the regular. I am planning on adding more to the other rooms. Great for yourself and to gift others!

Can't say much yet. Bought as a family Christmas gift. Wrapped up. Not yet tried. We'll see..... Will update after Christmas. I gave it 4 stars only because It needed a rating...... and I can;t assume it's perfect.

Google home mini can do so many different things. My husband and I use it everyday for so many things. We can turn our lights on and off, set a timer especially in the kitchen. It can tell me if my front door is locked as well as play the music of our choice. My granddaughter can tell it to read her a story. It is nice to know the weather outside.

This is a fun little speaker that provides news, weather, and allows you to do many tasks like setting up timers. It also connects well to the Google suite allowing you to add reminders and events to your calendar.

Much better sound than the dot, I have both Amazon dot and google mini, google mini gets my commands 9 out of 10 times VS echo 7 out of 10, the sound of mini fills the room, the sound of echo is just ok. Mini also broacast messages (like interphone) with other devices with google assistant (connected in the same wi-fi network) so I find google more entertaining....

Overall good purchase. Was able to do basic tasks day to day. However after playing for a few days it started saying you need to have subscription to YouTube Red and Google play for it to be able to play any music.

Google homes are definitely worth buying and I would recommend them to anyone. They are extremely helpful in your busy day and provide a lot of excellent qualities. Tho not as loud as Alexa, they still do a pretty darn good job on sound quality and production. We have one in almost every room and use it every day. It's a must have in your home.

Really like the sleak design. It is an awesome must have. My elderly parents love it and they are not tech savy. They listen to oldies for hours!
