Customer Ratings & Reviews

I BOUGHT 5 OF THESE AFTER BUYING THE LARGER UNIT LAST YEAR. They are now on every level of my home and every level of my best friend's home. They play any song you've ever heard of, they help with the weather, the crossword puzzle, each machine fills your void thought periods with the knowledge of the world. Great for seniors, those living alone, families with school-age kids. I don't know how we grew up without this thing.

Very easy to set up and use. We play it every evening with music and answering all our questions

Love this product!!! It understands my voice and my wife's. We have access to google at our command, AND we can ask the status of which of our smart connected devices are on or off. Coupled with the fact that we can access our Google Music which has our cds uploaded to the cloud, we also have access to our podcasts. We love it and we are using it more than a competitve product. Highly recommend Google Home for your home!!

It's a great compact device that has decent enough speakers to fill up a room with music, news, or hear broadcasts. It's definitely a wonderful addition if you already have some other Google home/devices around. Can easily make your home into a smart home.

I just could not pass these up since they were on sale. Great sound, easy setup and just cool!

Great price for this smart tech device. Compatible with my Apple phone and smart home devices.

This is a pretty good speaker and the assistant works well. Not as many skills as Alexa but I’m pretty satisfied with my purchase. Can’t beat the price!

This is a great item at a great price. Volume is much louder than expected when playing music.

I've mainly used this to interact with my Smart Home appliances (Nest thermostat, Leviton smart light switches, Lifx lighting...) and Chromecasts. There are several commands I'll say that the Google Home doesn't recognize, but I'm certain it's just a matter of learning the keywords to throw at it. We already purchased our second one for another room in the house, and will likely buy at least 2 more before we're done.

Great item to have around! Listens to you and responds. Plays pandora, tells jokes its great!

Figured it would just be a nice additional speaker for the house, but now I find myself using it for everything! Setting alarms, questions, spotify music, drive time, Google home does it all. And it picks up my voice from across the house (which is honestly a bit creepy) but there is a physical toggle switch to turn the mic off. The speaker is good quality too even for a mini! Thinking of buying more for other rooms!

Just the right size for my bedstand. Sound is great and just as easy to us as my Google home.

I’m very satisfied with my google home mini. It’s small but powerful and the price is right.

Controls are easy to use. Setup is very simple with a downloaded app. All over, I'd give this little device very high marks for an early AI machine...

Great. I have set up to turn on and off lights and play music throughout the house in sync with home minis. Its good to use as a timer or alarm clock.

I started out with an Echo and when it seemed to malfunction constantly, they exchanged it for the new Echo Plus. Not much of an improvement, but I like having voice control of my smart home, Then, I decided to try an Echo dot, (for another floor of my home) which is about the same level as this Google Mini. However, after going through 2 of them, neither of which I could hear (nor could it hear me), I returned them and decided to try Google Mini instead. WOW, what a difference, not just in the sound, but in the quality of response from the device. It almost seems to have a personality...lol, which I think is adorable. But it also is more interactive. It responds better and more often. I do not hear "I'm not sure about that", near as often. None of these devices are where they eventually will get to, but between the 2 of these companies, I would definitely say that the Google product is better than Amazon's. And considering Google started two years later creating their product and seem to be better than Amazon already, I am sure this is the product that will win the AI race. The only thing Google still needs is to put a HUB inside one of their products, so you don't need to buy that separately also, like Amazon did with their Echo. If they do that, then I will go completely with the Google products. However, as I need a HUB, I still have my Echo Plus along with my Google Mini. But I do recommend the Google Mini and if you don't have any smart devices that require a HUB, then definitely go with the Google products.

This is the first google assistant device that I have bought and it's a good place to start, both in terms of the device at where the performance is at. The device is a good first piece to seeing how you would use an assistant and figuring out what you want/need more of where ( a barebones version for when you walk in the door, compared to a massive speaker built in for better sound quality in the living room). Also as far as the performance is concerned, I think they are on the right track, but there is always room for growth especially in such a new field.

I got this Home Mini for free with the purchase of another Google product and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I've set it up with my Google Home App and its connected to some other "smart" things in my home. Its nice to be able to turn the lights out by calling out to Google or play a video on my chromecast/tv by asking it to play Netflix. The sounds when I have it play music is just fine and the volume is more than enough. I like that it has a USB-C(?) connector rather than its own propietary power cord that they have on the Gen2 so I can connect my own longer 10ft USB power cord to it in my kitchen. The thought that its always listening is kinda weird, but honestly I don't have much to hide and if they want audio of me singing along to Tom Petty songs so be it.

Love the google home, have the larger one for great room. Sound quality and mic is better on full version , but for smaller rooms mini is sufficient.

So glad that Google came out with this version of a Google Assistant device. I already have 2 Google Home devices (on my main level and in my basement). I bought 5 of the mini devices. So, now I can use the Google Assistant anywhere in my house. Oh, and by the way, you can link all of these speakers together and can act like a home speaker system. I'm going to see if they can work as an intercom system as well...
