Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you use Google products and applications such as chromecast, Google audio, Google calendars, etc, you'll be able to take full advantage of this product and will have the best time using it. Although you don't need those things as the Google home mini will still provide you with answers from Google to your questions and works with many different apps and products.

Love the speaker sound, great size and very smart. My new best friend.

I bought three Google Home Mini's as Christmas gifts, and they've been a lot of fun so far. It's really useful to get the time or temperature, and I've also listened to radio stations that I like on them. I'm not that computer savvy, but was able to get them working with a smart phone, so probably anyone could do it. I wish they could have been set up with my PC.

I got this on sale for twenty bucks, and for that amount the product works well enough. In some cases, the mini surprises me with how good the information it returns is, but it still has a ways to go to be incredible. It got way more useful with an IFTTT recipe to add items to my favorite list app, so if it can't do what you want check there. Speaker is loud and sounds decent enough, just lacks bass because of its size. Combining with a chromecast audito for multi room audio works well.

This is my third Google Home device within the past year. I have 3 such devices as I have placed one device in each of my 3 bedrooms. The primary use for the Home Mini is listening to music at bedtime, and for listening to the latest news. I can also utilize the Home Mini as an intercom unit between the rooms. The Home Mini can send 3 - 5 second messages between each unit. I can also make telehone calls from the Home Mini which can be an useful feature. The Home Mini can also answer above average questions, it can also tell the time, weather, traffic, set alarms and timers and interact with some smarthome devices. Overall, I like the Home Mini and Google Home alot. P.S. I also have the DOT, but my wife and I like the Google Home products a lot better. In fact my wife and I have gotten emotionally upset at the DOT numerous times LOL because the DOT made so many mistakes, or was unable to answer some basic questions, or refered us to the ALEXA HELP APP, or asked us to repeat the request, or would play the wrong requested song, and would stop working altogether at times for days. Now we have never ever ever ever experiences these same types of problems with our Google Home or our two Google Home Mini devices. In conclusion, the Google Home Mini is an outstanding device for 29.99.

I bought 4 of these, 2 to go along with my full size google home and 2 as gifts and they are just as good as the full size google homes when it comes to recognizing my voice, but having to use the app or my voice to control the volume is kind of a pain. Also if you mute one via your voice you have to toggle the mute switch on then off which is kind of weird. Those are minor gripes though as it controls my tv/lights/spotify just as I had expected it to and the smaller form factor is a plus.

Great sound. Smart sleek small and good answers. Will be buying more.

I love the way Google Assistant will integrate with all of my other home automation devices. Having a Google Play Music subscription is also great for music, and the YouTube Red along with it is just a cherry on top. With the price of the Mini being so much lower, it's easier to justify having one in every room of the house, so you're never out of voice range.

Love the little speaker. Sounds great and commands are easy to give.

The family loves to use this with our Sony Android TV that has Chromecast built in to voice search or watch Netflix. I can tell the kids dinner is ready or to turn down the music from my bedroom or the kitchen without having to yell. Ascetically it looks so much better than the Echo Dot and the sound is actually pretty good. At the $30 price it's worth a shot.

Once you get started with smart home tech it rapidly spreads throughout your entire living space. The Google home mini is just what you need to complete each room in the house that will accomplish the goals of a tech personal assistant and allow you to be anywhere in your house or living space to voice commands without yelling so you can be heard across rooms.

Google home is a lot smarter then Amazon Echo, just ask it a question. Factor in that Best buy had it at ridiculous price for Christmas and it was a no brainier. Great for a stocking stuffier, or for a gift to yourself, google is gaining on Amazon despite the head start. Amazon is even copying the Google design. Whats in the cloud though can not be duplicated

I recommend the Google Home Mini for anyone. I have always wanted one but the price was never in my price range but for the whole month of December in 2017, the Google Home devices were on sale. Before buying this item, I read a lot of reviews on the original Google Home and the Google Home Mini because I did not want to buy it without other buyers’ opinion on both of the items. I am so glad I read reviews because I would have bought the original Google Home because ‘bigger is better’ but in this case the Google Home Mini would meet my needs. The Google Home Mini is much cheaper than the original and I feel as if the Google Home Mini is much easier to access. It is so much smaller than the original so it is much easier to make space for it throughout your home.

Works great simple and cheap ! Use it as a second room for lighting

The mini is well constructed, easy to set up and reasonably priced.

This is great for $30!! I have this in my kitchen, and Alexa in my bedroom....they are quite comparable. This Google Mini exceeds my expectations. I was warned that music plays a little treble-y, and I do agree with this, but I can deal. It's useful so many other ways, especially in the kitchen. I'm still learning what it can do, and I'm enjoying learning!!

Works great, easy to use. We like it much better than the echo dot!

Great addition to my android Google assistant. Great little product

They’ve been good to me. I’m learning more about them every day. I’ve got one in my living room and bedroom. Set alarms, reminders, and much more. It knows your voice so multiple people can set reminders and it will know. Works with wireless lights, chrome cast etc. Offers lots of cool features. We enjoy it reading us (my kids and I) stories. Setting a group makes it so you can play the same music on multiple home mini’s. We love it so far. Needs work with android tv compatibility.

Works as expected. It's akin to Amazon Echo in functionality. The major difference (other than aesthetics) is the programs it supports vs. Amazon's Echo. Personally, I am a fan and subscriber of 'Google Music', which Amazon Echo doesn't support. Naturally, Google Home DOES support it. Ultimately, just look at which apps each device will support and buy the hub that will be more compatible with your other devices. Otherwise, I've found it no better or worse than Amazon Echo.
