I bought this during its Black Friday sale. Amazing little smart speaker. The google ecosystem is starting to catch up to the amazon Alexa setup.

Pretty awesome device. I'm able to ask it questions without having to look it up myself. Got a $10 gift card when I purchased it on Black Friday.

It is nice to have it. But after sometime there is not much use of it. I only use it weathers, news or play a song and that too only sometimes. DId not want to give it access to my calendar as anyone can access it.

I use the google home to control my hue lights but also for a myriad of other little uses I've grown to rely on. From waking up and asking what time it is (in case I can go back to sleep) to getting the weather or just temperature to playing music and setting timers. I already see how this little always listening device is a harbinger of homes of the future.

I bought the Google Mini as an add-on gift for my husband for Christmas along with the Nest camera. Google Mini is a riot. She can answer questions, tells jokes, etc. She's linked to my husband's cell phone and I can just add things to his shopping list by telling Google to add it, then it shows up on his phone. (He does all the shopping.) We love our Google Mini.

I do not like it very much. It's sound is not so good, sometimes it is low on even max volume. Not having physical dedicated button for volume and other control is a bummer for me. It's looks is more aesthetic though and only positive point it can earn as it integrated with google assistant which is perhaps best smart assistant in the world. Also playing music from youtube music seems little easier here than to request from 3rd party interfaces like spotify or pandora in echo devices. Youtube music is mostly free though ad supported and you can get mostly all the music you can get where in other channels you have to be paid subscribers. Its lightning notification also blurred as compared to echo. So, not much liking here in terns of design and display, just gets the job done okay. the 2nd generation nest has increased the volume issue quite a bit, so that would be better buy.

Got this as a gift for a family member. Got them on sale. Only disappointment was that they are made in red as well but those weren’t available.

Alexa vs google home mini

Alexa is smarter than google home. But if Alexa gets 95 out of 100, google home will get 94 out of 100. I like both of them, using both of them.

A cheap yet high quality high tech gift for the whole family. Be cautioned, once you own one you will want to buy everything compatible with it.
