Great Way To Try Out Google Home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to try out Google Home, without spending a lot of money. It works and sets up simply, however some of the things Google Home claims it does have not worked perfectly. I can activate my smart lighting through my Smartthings hub, but doing things like turning on household TV's has been a bust so far. Overall a great way to get introduced to the world of Google Home, without making a huge investment.

Google home mini works well, but privacy concerns
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have amazon echos and dots around my house and an iPhone and iPad so I wanted to try out google's assistant. The google assistant is a bit easier to work with than alexa and definitely behind apple's siri. But according to my research, google is always listening and sending everything to the 'cloud'. Amazon is always listening but will only send what it hears after you say your key word ('alexa', etc). Apple will only process what you say to it and send the translated information to the 'cloud' (I ask 'what is the weather?', it sends 'weather request' to the server, no recordings, nothing I say is stored on the device). But there is no way apple will sell me a home pod for $500. I'll probably stick with my echos and dots I probably spent less than $500 altogether that are in every room of the house now. Google home seems interesting but the privacy concerns don't make me want to replace the amazon devices I already have.

nice speaker with smart fatures
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this small speaker. It produces the real good quality of sound. The sound quality is better than most small or same size speakers. In addition, it can control the smart devices. I had it to control my lights for auto open and off. If you want to buy WiFi speaker, better to consider to by this one. It have almost all the functions the WiFI speaker has and provides you more.

Almost as good as the version
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the original Home and this mini version is almost as good. The only real drawback is speaker quality due to smaller size. I got it for 30 bucks so it was well worth it.

Great Audio
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own Google Home Minis and an Amazon Echo Dot. The Google Home Mini has far superior audio quality for listening to music. I can also set my Spotify up to stream to all my Google Home Minis at the same time so my music is playing in every room at once.

Easy setup and use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this product free with the purchase of a Nest doorbell. Very easy setup and usage. I really haven't explored all of the possibilities so my review score may increase over time. I only worry that now Google is listening and keeping all of my personal data! I already use a lot of Apple products and now Nest, so this is just another company competing for my privacy. Probably why is was given free.

Awesome gift for my sister
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave this for a belated Christmas gift to my sister. She was ecstatic and thought it would be a wonderful addition to her busy lifestyle. She was right. She loves the mamy helpful things the Mini can do. It does save her time on a daily basis. Highly recommend for those who need more time in their day.

Fun So Far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't really used it as often as I thought I would yet, but so far I do like it. I have two of them and both were technically free. It was easy to hook up but I can't wait until I can use it more with my other devices. So far, it's just something to have and try out. I hope to make better use of them. :)

Ease of usage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that you just have to plug it in and it works. I can talk to it from almost any room in my house and it responds -- good range of "hearing." It works well with my TV. I am sure there are at least a dozen more things that it does that I have not yet discovered.

Grandma loves google
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gifted my grandma with this google mini for Christmas. She has been pretty lonely since grandpa passed away and this gives her conversation and answers to all of her questions. She also says that its much easier that reading the fine print in her local telephone directory. Thanks Google!!

Small in size BIG Assistant
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm happy with my Google Home Mini, first because it's small and can be put almost everywhere. It has a great mic so it's easy to interact from a considerable distance. I use it every night while cooking (timers), playing music when cleaning and every morrning to tell me about my day (news) and also to operate my TV through the Google Chromcast. The only thing I didn't like being wired, it would be better wireless.
