Much better than I expected. It thought virtual assistant was more of a gimmick but no. It is fairly helpful especially as a loud alarm. I purchased it for 30 and it's worth that don't pay much more. If you live in a larger house get more than one. They work great for alarms, weather distance to a location directions reminders etc. Works better with Android

The setup was as simple as plugging it in and running the app. After that, it just worked. No, the sound isn't great, but that isn't the purpose. It is adequate for the intended purpose. It is a great expansion to an existing system. The Holiday price made it easy to pick up two for other places in the house. The "Broadcast" functionality works great. Way better than just shouting between floors.

Much better than Amzon's Alexa Dot. My kids can actually ask questions & get answers

I already had a Google Home device that I used in the living rooom. I ordered two Google Home Minis for my bedroom and bathroom. They both are loud enough for me, although not as loud as the original Google Home. You are also able to create groups so that all the Google Home devices in the house play the same thing. I really like this feature, however, you are not able to play on all devices if you are streaming from your phone using Bluetooth which is disappointing. If that feature were present this would have 5 stars instead of 4.

This was so easy to set up, literally plugged in, opened the home app on my phone and it automatically found it and sent it to my phone. I love the future that it gives personalized results based on my voice and on my roommates voices so my contacts will only be able to be called when it hears my voice and there's also a guest mode! I would not choose any other product I've tried Alexa I did not like it. This one is incredibly user-friendly we have two in our house and as long as I have an internet connection I can control all my lights my ceiling fans everything I've connected to it I can even ask it to show me my front entryway camera on a specific TV or the coolest part is I can broadcast a message to all the Google homes in my home either with my voice or Google's voice so that way it acts as a PA system in a way

It’s easy to install and compact. It sits on my night stand and gets lots of use. I use it to play relaxing songs when I’m trying to sleep.

The Google Home Mini is a nice little device. It's not very noticeable in the kitchen and foyer. Love the interaction with Google and finding out info on random things. Works great with Smartthings for the HVAC, lights, etc. Worth the purchase.

Iniitally I was skeptical about buying this product due to privacy and other concerns. But once I walked in to the store, I found a GOOGLE respresentative who was able to explain me the current policies in details. I could match them to terms listed. Now i have been using this product for few weeks and I am very satisfied. The only concern I have so far is it not able to connect to external speakers using a bluetooth or 3.5 mm jack (or i dont know how to do so). I learnt I could use an echo dot for so. So make your choice.
