    My mom loves it, she could install easy for a 75 year old woman that's a huge plus. She uses it and will learn more about it as you uses.

    I haven't quite figured out the full extent of its capabilities yet, but I LOVE the music feature.... plays great playlists with no commercials... I am a frequent Pandora user so that perk was appreciated.

    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.

    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 decided to go with the google device over the alternatives due to the strength of the search engine. I know that "Alexa" doesn't always have the right answer from hearing my brother in law call her name out in frustration without results... This google home mini is simple to set up and a great, fun addition to any room in the house.

    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.

    I'm pretty happy with the home mini. It's convenient and you connect literally all of your streaming accounts to it. The only hard part was the initial set up. You had to download the google home app for it to use and you have to have a compatible smart TV or a Google Chromecast. If you have a Samsung phone or tablet, you'll need to do some extra work to set it up because there's some kind of bug. It took a little while, but I finally set mine up. Overall, I like it!

    The Home Mini by Google is a great asset in any room. Sound quality is not bad for the size, and the Google assistant makes the Mini a nice addition to any room. I'm able to play Pandora right out of the box, and the voice features work amazingly well. I would tell anyone this Home Mini is a great smart feature-rich product to add to any home setting.

    I bought this Google - Home Mini after using Alexa devices for about a year. I'd definitely say it's an improvement. The audio is much clearer and Google has a much better search engine so, we've been able to actually get answers from google assistant compared to Alexa. We actually own two nest minis, one home mini, and a Google Nest Home. All have been great and are great with our Nest thermostat and Nest Yale lock.

    Love the Google Mini! We have both the Google Home/Assistant and Google Mini. Both are excellent. Mini is nice and small and speaker is very good quality. Response time is super fast and we love the ease of using it and the quality of answers when we ask questions. We are Apple device users, and the Google Assistant is so much more useful than Siri.

    I didn't have an intention to buy one as I already have a clock speaker with Google Assistant built in. But since it was free with a purchase of a 4-pack of Tile tracker, I figured why not. It works fine just like any other Google Assistant device. The speaker isn't as loud as the speaker on my smart clock in the room but works fine especially in a smaller room. No issues adding it to my google network. Will be using this in my office at home.
