    We got this free with purchase of a Nest thermometer. Prior to that we had an Amazon Echo (Alexa) for quite a while, I believe we got that shortly after they first came out. We set this up in the living room and the Alexa is in the kitchen. So we can talk to either on the first floor of our home, so sometimes for fun and out of curiosity we will ask them both the same thing to compare the responses. Most of the time they're pretty much the same, but there are times Alexa seems to know more. Once in a while the Home will be the winner. They can even talk to each other which is neat, and the kids get a kick out of that to be sure. What we use ours the most for is setting timers/alarms/reminders, asking about the weather, getting answers to math problems we don't feel like breaking out a calculator for, brief facts that come up during conversation (a celebrity's height, the definition of a word, what year something happened, etc - whatever you could Google!). The only thing we've incorporated is the Nest, we can ask the Home to adjust the temperature. I'm sure there are plenty of things we could be using it for that have not yet occured to us. These things freak some people out, but they're the precursor to the inevitable robot household helpers and I think they're pretty cool.

    We have echo in the kitchen wanted one for the bedroom. Saw the Google on sale so gave it a try. Doesn't have connection for external speaker but voice answer is smarter than Echo.

    Works great ! Elderly mother in law in nursing home enjoys listening to music from her generation. Radios had very poor reception and it was difficult for her to find a station. Now , all she has to do is ask for the type of music she wants to listen to !

    I only wish I could have more of them lol. I love being able to link them throughout the house and have the same music everywhere. It's a little thing, but for a musician its really nice to keep that flow going when I'm in the zone no matter what room I go in.

    I don’t have a smart home so I mainly use this as an alarm or to listen to music via Pandora and Spotify. It’s very responsive and has surprisingly good sound for the size! I like it so much that I’m looking into other uses for it and will probably get a few WiFi light bulbs and a smart plug for my TV.

    This is a cool and fun device to have. I use it moderately , I’d does however sometimes not listen the first time. Also it can be tricky to use and find the right sequence of words.

    Great Google Home speaker! This can be joined in a group with the other Google Homes and all play music together. It's perfect for the kitchen to do timers and get weather info, etc. I basically have this or another Google Home in every room.

    The Google Home was one of the best purchases I have made and it has been almost a year of use every single day! It allows for easy control of music and alarms from the phone with just your voice! It is a great device and I would recommend anyone who owns a chrome cast to get one too!

    Great Product. can be useful but still, need some work on the software to get everything work. for $29 you can't really go wrong with this one. I wish they are support audio input.
