Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought 2 of these to put in different rooms and the setup was very easy. Google is still learning, but it integrated with my other Smartthings well. It's pretty cool to just yell at Google to play music by whatever artist I want to hear at the moment :) *note, it doesn't seem to be capable of playing the same thing simultaneously in different rooms - no whole home stereo effect. It can play different things simultaneously though.

I have both the Google Home Mini and the Amazon Echo Dot. They really are pretty similar and do basically all the same things. I'm left with a feeling of what's the real purpose of them though. They do several things well, but nothing that there aren't other avenues to do the same thing. I fell for the hype that because this device was part of the Google network it would be so much better at answering questions. Maybe a bit, but not enough to buy it over any other just for that possibility. It's still pretty danged easy to stump it and be told it's working on learning how to do that.

The google home mini does everything we want it to...controls lights, the tv, the google chromecast, etc. Within minutes of unboxing we were using it to make life easier. Honestly we have been trying different approaches in different areas of the house, google n the bedroom, Apple in the keeping room and Alexa in basement just to see which works. So far google is making my wife happy because it’s so easy. Ultimate verdict yet to come.

I am using google home to control my living room lights and Nest thermostat and when ever I feel bored I ask few questions which is great to get an answer rather than opening a phone and typing. Very easy to install and connect all the devices. Good to have one in each floor so they talk to each other from one room to other. Google is still in a process to advance lot of information on this device, lot of work to do from their end.

Setup is a breeze. Works with LOTS of different products including Hue lighting and Harmony remotes

Read that the mini may have fewer “skills” than Alexa, but it looks so much better than the Dot. Sound is impressive from such a small package. Easy to setup.

I bought it because they dropped the price. I didn't think it would be worth it. I bought a 2nd one the same day to give to my brother as a gift. I particularly like asking to play what's in the news. I have it set up to give me top stories from 5 different sources. In 10 minutes I get a good idea of what's going on. And pairing it with my spotify premium account is awesome. It will play litterally any song i can think of.

I bought this thinking it was cool to control a few lights. Within three days I bought three more. I have one in a living room, one in kitchen and one in bedroom and the reasoning is because of the features. I can set alarms turn lights on from any room. My favorite feature is playing the same music on all speakers at the same time, that way music can be heard from any room. You can also play different music on all of them at once

The google home mini is definitely one of the greatest value's to find this holiday season. Product works like a charm and it is incredible to turn on lights and turning on tv shows on my TV just by asking the device to do so. (You must have a smart plug for the lights, and a chromecast for the tv shows, but they are very affordable as well.) Price was phenominal at $29.99, but even at $49.99 this is definitely a bargain as well.

I love how its so small but very loud .did you know if your phone is dead you still can play music

I bought the Google Home with Google Chromecast and was pleasantly surprised to be able to tell my TV: "pause TV" or "put on the latest episode of ___". It is unfortunate that only a handful of content providers but I am hopeful that support will improve. Also nice to be able to say: "broadcast I'm at the door" and it will pay my voice on Google Home as a message to my family. The best part of it all is how affordable it all was!

I love the functionality and the power in the small box. Easy setup and blends good into my decor.

Really great speaker in a really nice package. Super easy to set up and available at a good price.

Sounds profile is good for a small speaker. Picks up voice detection really well. Very inexpensive

Both my wife and I got our own Easy to use Nice to listen to music just by a simple voice command.

Plays music, easy to setup, and fun to play with. Even understands what I'm saying when I'm drunk.

You're not going to get a world-beating speaker at this price. But the ease and capabilities this thing offers is amazing. It does everything the full-size Google Home does. Works great with Samsung Smart things. Getting one for every room now that Google released the broadcast feature, allowing me to easily send messages throughout the house.

Set up was very easy. Connected to my SmartThings Hub and it works flawlessly to control my plug in night stand lamps. I have it in my bedroom about 15 feet from my bed. Speaker is louder than I imagined, music at night is usually played at lowest volume levels 1 or 2! I can speak in a quiet voice and it will pick up my commands on the other side of the room. I plan to hook up a second mini and a Chrome Cast to run the TV room

This goes great with the google home or even by itself! It's the must have device for your home!

We've had so much fun with our Google Mini. It's amazing how fast she is to respond to our questions (even from a long way across the room Mini can catch our voice). My youngest has a speech impairment yet Mini can make out generally everything he is asking. It makes us have a good sense of humor to his impairment sometimes when Mini gets his question a bit misunderstood, innocent little giggles from time to time. On the other hand it helps him to stop then use his speech therapy skills to enunciate better. I think some days that is why he is using it... so he can keep improving. There's very few questions that are unanswerable that we've asked so far. Pretty easy and straightforward to set up. I definitely recommend getting the product. We lucked out and bought it on Black Friday for a great price. Also bought several more for my siblings. I can't wait to find out how their families are enjoying them. Hope as much as my own has enjoyed our new tech gadget.
