    This is just as good as the google home. The functionality is the same. The speaker isn’t as big but it is more than capable.

    The Mini is the perfect device for every room. It works wonderfully with multiple devices including the original Google Home.

    Google home easy to set up. Plays music, wakes us in the morning, and can tell me the days weather and activities. However can’t get it to coordinate with my first one in kitchen. I was told that I could use two of them together as an intercom but not. Basically independent units. Don’t really don’t need two.

    Got two of these little guys - one for myself and one for the girlfriend - and we are happy with both of them. The speaker is lacking a bit on the bass side and is not as high quality as my portable bluetooth speaker, but having the voice assistant balances out this weakness. If you're part of the Google ecosystem, the assistant becomes even better and more useful - particularly with the growing pervasiveness of smart home products. Perfect little speaker for on a nightstand in the bedroom.

    Only as good as you make it

    Overall, the Google Home Mini, though infinitely better than the Amazon competitor, is only as good as you make it. You'll need to be prepared to integrate your media accounts (Netflix, Pandora, Spotify, etc.) to get meaningful daily use out of it. That said, I'm very pleased with how receptive the speaker is (I can talk to it from the next room if I need to) and think the chalk version looks great in my living room! The set up process was easy (and will be easier for those who already have Google home) and I love that the product remembers things I tell it. 4 out of 5 at the moment, but my review might change as I continue to integrate additional services!

    In a word, the Google Home Mini is... amazing! I use mine every morning to review my schedule and catch up on the latest news regarding a variety of topics. Despite what some might say, the sound is outstanding! The integration between my phone and the speaker is fantastic. However, there are some features that are not available yet such as talk to text, but I'm sure these features will come. In short, this is the perfect holiday gift for everyone, tech savvy or not. Buy one!!!!

    I never thought this could be that useful especially having an iPhone with Siri that I thought would do the same thing. Well, I was so wrong! Granted, Siri can do similar things. But it's a game changer when you can give instructions from anywhere across the room and Google Mini would listen. Simple things like "What's the temperature", "What time is it", "Give me the news", "Play Music"... ah Play Music... the volume and sound quality is GREAT for such a tiny device! I decided to add a 2nd one in my bedroom and, since I have Nest thermostats, at night I can simply say "Hey Google, turn the temperature down" (or up). Amazing! I then added some smart lights and it's awesome to just say "Turn the lights on" (or off). Or "Set the brightness to 30%". Or "Set the Kitchen lights to red". My toddler LOVES THAT! And he's now so used to it that when we are in a restaurant or somewhere else, he starts saying "OK Google, turn the lights off" thinking that's how all lights everywhere work (he's 2 years old)! So cute! Highly recommended!

    Let me be honest here, I picked this over the Echo since it was $10 cheaper last Friday and I trusted the future potential Google has, to become the best in the market here. First, it's an excellent speaker. For the $20 I paid effectively, this alone is good enough a reason to buy. My most common use cases for me are for the timer, calendar, and weather. The biggest disappointment is that you need a Youtube Red or Spotify premium for play music from the respective platforms. This, unfortunately, wasn't conveyed in the other reviews. I'm not a smarthome enthusiast and don't use those features yet. Looking forward to more and better integrations.

    Very good product, has answers for most questions and very small and sleek. Room for improvement of course, but for $30 it is very worth it. Makes a very good Christmas gift as well!

    If you just have the Google Home Mini you will be very pleased. Especially if you use it to get information, make lists, setting dates, woking it into your Home Automation, etc... If you have an Amazon Echo you will be pleased with the answers Google gives as it is way better at it. However if you are building a smart house and you would like to make things happen with your voice the Echo is just plain better at it. I am sure Goggle will catch up but it still has a ways to go.
