I purchased two Home Mini's and they have helped me with playing music from my music library, sleep better with the Ocean sounds and fact gathering. I can even broadcase a message to my wife in the living room while I am in the bedroom. Not to mention being able to tell the home mini to turn on my TV and put it on Gotham on Netflix.

This machine is so cool! My lady loves it and my kid plays with it all the time. I recommend googling (ha) a list of google home commands.

I love the Google Home Mini. I decided to get these for each of the rooms in my home, while keeping the Google Home Hub unit in the main common area. In reality, this would work well as a standalone unit. I have been very pleased with the Home Mini - it looks great, is easy to operate and the AI seems more advanced than competitors.

This is such an economical way to have one of the coolest new tech items on the market. I had looked at the Amazon echo first but the pricing on the Google home mini was a third of the price and it offers great quality. If you’re looking for excellent speaker sound you will probably want to go with the larger model but for every day use you can’t beat w

I bought this purely because they were offering a bundle deal with the Google chromecast. I had no idea I would use it as often as I do. The music sounds good, it helps keep me up to date with the weather and my schedule, but best of all, it connects to my tv so I am almost completely hands free in the home!

The speaker sounds kinda flat and it won't pick up every time you call out "hey Google". Overall through its pretty solid. Would I buy it again? Yes. Did I expect a little more? Yes. For $50 it's a good buy.

We have several Google Minis. They are a great little smart speaker and have worked well in the time we have had them. The sound from the speaker is actually pretty good for their size. The only occasional "issues" we have experienced are the speaker not "hearing" the command and sometimes with the phrasing of a command.

Works great, speakers are pretty loud and clear, mics pick up voice from a good distance. Definitely gets a benefit of being made by Google so your searches are pretty accurate and it will give you an answer for a lot of stuff. Works ok with my harmony hub but sometimes it doesn’t do what I ask but I don’t know if that’s on Logitech’s end or not. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to see what the smart home and start speakers are all about.

Just changing home to a "smart" home. These little babies give me control of lighting and info on demand in every room. They are easy to set up and can be put almost anywhere. They are relatively inexpensive. Best buy had the greatest savings on them on town. I would definitely purchase again.

Mini in size but not in output. Hears me from a good distance without shouting. Sound output is nice and very clear. Looks great in any room with a modern look and nice cloth like cover on the speaker. I own 2 mini and 1 Home regular size. The mini speaker is not as good but still does an excellent job, especially when paying just $25.

I highly recommend Google Home from Best Buy. It's great for creating atmosphere with whatever music you're in the mood to listen to. I also use it to create a shopping list so whenever I run out of an item, I say "Hey Google, put _____ on the shopping list". Then when I go to the store, I just pull my list up on my phone.

I started with the original Home and added a Mini. Gifted a Hub to wife for the kitchen and got the two free Minis. Then received a Mini as a gift. I think that's enough! The sound is quite good for a small device and several are primarily used to replace a radio. Waiting to see how it holds up in the heat and humidity of the sauna.
