Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased as gifts and people loved them. Bought on Black Friday for $29 don’t know if they’re worth the $60 but $30 for sure

First one I received was defective hence the customer service sent another one. Find this better then Alexa as can translate and understand different People at home. Go get one for yourself.

I've now got 6 of these little donut sized devices around our home, facilitating great music playback for it's size, allowing for intercom usage to broadcast messages across the house, and to help automate more of our daily taskings around the house. They will surprise you with how versatile they can be!

Google mini is just like having your Android phone. It is good but needs to improve a lot to before it can compete with Alexa. Some of its feature rely on connection to linked phone or tablet. It also is not able to hold conversation naturally. Every time the phrase “Hi Google, or OK Google” needs to be repeated even when the conversation is still on going. For example, when making a shopping list the attention getting phrase must be repeated before adding an item to the list. Additionally, when the music is loud you must yell to get its attention.

Awesome little speaker that works great with Spotify and getting your weather!

A really great way to make your home a smart home. Linking accounts for media, audio and ordering pizza is really convenient.

I love being able to command “Hey Google”. I’m so used to it that when I travel away, I find myself saying it... once in a while, the speaker doesn’t sync for whatever reason. I couldn’t tell you how I fix it other than trying different things in the Google Home app until I get it to work. The Lenovo Google compatible speaker picks up commands much better, though I don’t find myself using the display much anyway.

I just love my Google home mini. I got 6 of them 5 for my house and 1 for the garage. This is a must have for home automation

The search feature leaves more to be desired. It recognizes voice commands well, but falls short when conducting searches. I feel that Amazon's Echo Dot does a better job. I will ask to search for an item or receipe. Some of the responses are "I am not sure how to do that now" or something similar. What it is good for is the news and weather. Don't pay more than $30 for this. The speaker volume is louder than Amazon Echo Dot which is a plus.

I love my Google mini. She can answer far more questions and handle a lot more ta sis then I anticipated when I purchased it.

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

Pro is that it gives your access to all of Google search info. Con is that you cannot sync to a Bluetooth speaker. Personally I like Alexa better

I get it for $29.99 and this is actually the second one I buy. You can’t go wrong with this one. Google assistant is awesome (even though I use iPhone) but it is so much smarter than Siri. Besides I can use it with my iPhone or Android phones. Easy to set up, to use, looks beautiful at home. Anyway great buy.

The Google Home Mini is not what I would consider a "quality speaker". It's got a slightly louder, deeper sound than the Echo Dot but it's not something I would use to listen to music for long periods of time - think of it more as a podcast engine rather than for high-fidelity sound. The real reason you should buy this, and without question I would recommend this, is for what it really offers: a window into all the amazing tasks the Google Assistant has to offer. It can do all the things Siri and Alexa can, but it also does so much more - its natural language processing makes it so much more flexible to make requests and queries, and it taps into the biggest knowledge base available - Google! This means it answers questions so much more readily than the other two major voice assistants can. Today I asked, very poorly, "Hey Google - how long does it go between World Cups?" Despite the fact that this sentence literally makes no sense, Google understood I was asking what the timeframe was between World Cups and told me the answer. It's brilliant, and it gets smarter every single day. At the time of my review, it makes great speakerphone calls, it sends broadcast messages to all your other Google devices, and it can understand up to three commands given in a single sentence. That's pretty amazing. And when you buy multiple Google Home products - we have two Minis and a normal Home - they all play music or news simultaneously in a sort of surround sound mode. And we use our Google Homes to control our home devices like our TV entirely by voice! An incredible device, and definitely an accessible gateway into the smart home future.

We put these in the kids' room so they can listen to music, broadcast messages and set alarms.

Sleek, easy to use, and unobtrusively sits in the corner but is there when you need it. We connected it to our Insteon lighting hub and works like a charm to turn individual or groups of lights on or off. We use it for a timer, music, and to answer random questions.

Was a birthday gift for my mom and she lived it hoping to add Phillips hue lights so we can automate her place a little more

I can’t compare it to another similar product, but this product itself is worth the purchase. I use it to play music and ask silly random questions. It can hear my voice from about 20 feet away. You can turn off voice whenever you don’t want it to hear you and you can customize it to only respond to your voice.

I ended up buying a couple in each color to offer as gifts. Made the experience a little more unique, and was well received.

I received this Google Home Mini, FREE, when I purchased my Chromebook. I have never owned anything like this, but it as easy to set up, and NOW....I can't imagine a day without it! This Google Home Mini answers ALL my questions, plays my favorite music and gives my step by step recipe ingredients! LOVE!!!
