Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm pretty invested in the Google Home/Assistant ecosystem - I've already got a couple of Minis and a couple of Homes and a Lenovo Smart Display and a Home Hub and also an Insignia. Throw in a couple of headsets that include assistant and I've got Google everywhere. No, there's a reason, I'm not just Google crazy, I write about these in my spare time. I didn't know when I ordered the my Nest doorbell a Mini was getting tacked on. I'd have preferred literally any other Google Assistant product, but let's address my issues with the Mini. It's ok. Of the products out there I've tried I can't say much more than it works and works ok. You want to dip your toes in the Assistant pool, you're not going to go wrong. What I don't like about these is the pickup on all Minis I've ever run into seems to not be as robust as the others. It works, it'll be fine but I'm "OK Google"ing much more than on other devices. The next is since these have been relegated to kid's rooms (nighttime music, story norey, couple of kid things) getting the volume adjusted via voice is harder on these than any I've used. The others hear the OK Google when the music is too loud, these I generally have to come and whack and I always manage to turn it up even more. Good, not the best, but being the lowest price entry models can't complain. I'd rather get the Insignia on sale when it's $20 or a Lenovo when it's 90 or so. But then again, they're an entirely different class and different base price model. So can't complain excessively about the mini - it works, or works better than anything we could have imagined four years ago, yadda yadda

Everything is great about the mini but the sound quality (especially when playing music) is not good. For everything else, perfect. I returned it and paid a little more for the Google home instead.

LIGHT-WEIGHT AND HANDY. INSTANT COMMAND FOR MY GOOGLE HOME.

This is my first device of this type, and so far I'm very pleased. It's been fun getting hooked into the overall smart home system, and connecting my home mini to other smart devices in the house. The ability to create routines and automation is my favorite part of the device. It's a gateway into the rest of the technology.

Every morning I say “ Hey Google, good morning”. “She” greets me, tells me the time temperature, weather conditions, and then relays the top stories from the sources I choose. Also tells some pretty good jokes if you ask. When I have a question I just ask and ( if I phrase it clearly) provides a complete answer.

Makes life much easier. Seamless connectivity to the many (10) Wemo light switches, Rachio sprinkler controller, 3 Honeywell thermostats, and now working on linking the alarm system to it through some SW work. Very helpful device. Linking it through to many different Google Home devices at home in many different levels of the house as well.

I honestly am not a heavy user of this little guy and I know it can do so much more. But basically I ask it the weather and traffic every morning! I know my friends set it so that its their alarm clock and it reads off the news or their calendar in the morning. Many many many great features to be explored!

This device is extremely easy to use and entertaining. It's also helpful to get quick information by just asking for it...like the current temperature or tomorrow's weather forecast. I also enjoy finding out the temperature in a a place that I would like to be living or vacationing. If I'm bored, I can just ask Google to tell me a joke.

It works like the big google home. Speakers are not that great. but good to stream music if you have a small room or sitting close.

Very convenient! Responds well. Able to use it with Philips Hue lights system. Tells the weather, traffic condition and much more!

Bought the mini as an Xmas present to me. Already have the full-size one and it's works great. Looking forward to using the MINI!!

Good sound, google assistant is great, most apps are compatible with it. Definitely with the 30.00 sale price.

Works just like the Google Home and responds to my requests promptly. Handy tool to have around the house! And makes a great gift!

I had 3 of the full-sized Google Homes before purchasing the mini and, of course, it does everything the full sized version does. However, I assumed the volume would be lacking (based on size), but I was surprised just how loud this gets. I would say it is nearly as loud as the full size and only lacking some bass. I'll likely buy another.

We purchased the Google mini after purchasing the Google home and we truly enjoy both products and look forward to the Google max.

Have several full-size GH devices - bought two mini's more - one for the basement and one for the garage. Use them all the time!!!

The google home mini is a good little addition to my room. I enjoy using it casually and mainly acts as a quick online search for weather updates, sports updates, and as a music listening device.

Not as robust as the Google Home, but has most of the functionality at a fraction of the price

This Google mini is worth its price. Very useful, easy setup and pretty good sound for its size.

I bought this for my 60yr old mother and she loves it.
