I love the mini better than my original google home! It responds better and makes life easier. Also makes it easier to get up in the morning.

This Google home mini is perfect for setting reminders and alarms. It also plays music upon command and looks up all sorts of information. It can be linked with other Google devices in your home providing a family experience for everyone. We bought this for our grandson on sale during Black Friday and he loves it.

We had two Google Home Minis in our home. I went to Best Buy to buy another one for my wife for Christmas. The price was so good I decided to buy two.
Christmas came, and I gave her the two new GHMs. She laughed and gave me one that she'd bought for me. If my math is right, that means we'll have five in the house.

The speakers on the Google Home MIni is so much better than the Dot. You can actually play some music with better clarity than the Dot. Bass is lacking but it's doable. I'm very surprised.
If you want a Home Assistance device, pick this up over the Echo Dot. It's so much better and you can do so much more than the Echo lineup.

I’m enjoying having this new technology in the house. It works great when linked up to my music service— I enjoy being able to link all of my speakers and play music throughout the house. The only issue I do have is that sometimes the speaker doesn’t hear me saying “hey google” when music is playing from the speaker. On the other hand, sometimes it thinks I said “hey google” when I didn’t. Overall it’s been a very pleasant experience and I recommend giving these a look!

Our home Mimi smart speakers are amazing. We have them in each room and they are so handy. We ask it questions or tell it to play our favorite music from across the room without touching it. It’s especially handy in the kitchen when you need a recipe or just want to hear some tunes. It’s perfect and we love them.

I have two other Google homes. One mini and one regular and I love them both now I have one in our master that matches the dark grey paint. Now I don't have to go to my phone to ask Google some questions nor do I have to go to another room. I have the main home in my kitchen and the other mini in my daughter's room. Next one I add will be in the guest room.

I love my google home minis. I bought two because they were on sale 2 for $50. I put one in the kitchen and the other in the bathroom. I mainly use them to listen to music. I linked my Spotify premium account and I can listen to anything. It’s geeat for the bathroom because I can skip songs and change the volume while I’m in the shower.

Works well with voice recognition, plays my music when asked, turns on my christmas lights and has a switch to turn off the microphone when you do not want google to listen. I keep this product in my bedroom.

I have an echo and found that this is a better source for information. This kids use the home mini for homework and the echo just for music.
