Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Google Home Mini offers an interactive and fun way to get answers to most common questions. However, the Google Home Mini often does not have answers for numerous questions, which can be irritating, especially when the questions are not out of the ordinary.

I received this as a free item after a purchase I made. I hooked it up at my office. Honestly, I really enjoy the ease of use and all it has provided me. On par with Amazon...

My wife loves this so much we take it on vacation. The kids use it for playing music and asking homework question. Microphone picks up voice well, even differences between my kids similar tones.

We love it. We use it to check the weather, play music and change the AC. It picks up the voice surprisingly well when it's playing music at full volume. We're definitely buying more.

Bought a home mini and echo dot at the same time. The home mini has a better speaker and returns better search results, but the echo dot has better mic that picks up your voice better which means I find myself having to repeat myself more with the home mini.

If you want an assistant at home and have a lot of Google integration in your daily life (Gmail, Hangouts, etc), the Google Home Mini can supplement and make things a bit easier. It's great to be able to verbally tell it to add peanut butter to my shopping list or have it read to me my calendar for the day as I'm preparing breakfast. You can indeed have a semi fluid conversation with it where as the Amazon Echo most of the time requires you to say its wake word. It works great with home automation (smart plugs/switches, smart thermostat, etc). There are a couple of bugs in it though. Sometimes it will just turn on even though nobody remotely said "Hey Google" or "OK Google." If you turn the volume all the way up and are streaming music to it, it has a tendency to reboot. The device does get fairly warm, so it's a bit of a concern to me since the Echo stays cool to touch. But this is the first generation, so we can only hope it'll get better.

I really like the google mini. 1st time I've had one. It blends right in to my decor and is very helpful. Can't wait to get more gadgets to go along with it to see its full potential.

We have these in our home, my son has one in his dorm room and now my daughter will have one in her dorm room. They are super convenient and small enough to not be an eyesore.

Love my google home mini. Ask for music, set reminders and other stuff around the home like switching lights on ans off. You can set it in multiple languages.

I didn't know how much I would love this when I got it. I have one almost in every room now haha. Just be careful not to speak too loudly or else all the Google minis answer to you...

I wasn't into the idea of having this item. However, it was gift with purchase. I really like it now. I use it mainly for listening to music. I plays random music at your request.

The Google Home mini is a good complement to my home automation devices. I have Lutron (lights and shades), Ecobee (Thermostat), b-hyve (sprinklers) and Chamberlain (Garage doors). I have 4 Alexas and I bought the mini to compare it. The integration with other devices is easy in both speakers. I think that Google gives you better answers as an assistant, but lacks some features that Alexa has integrating other automation devices. The google mini has better integration with my Samsung phone and Sony TV. It is hard to decide which one is better. And the problem of having both speakers, is that I change their names all the time.... well, that happen with my daughters too.

Latest technology at a great sale price. My techie friend highly recommended and glad he did.

We enjoy using this product. We are an older couple and its so convenient to look up information and being able to work with other electronics in our home.

Since getting my Home Mini about a month ago I've really enjoyed using it, and have found many tasks that it makes slightly more convenient. But there is room for improvement - my main gripe is that it will only connect to other devices via Google's Chromecast, not Bluetooth.

I got this for my step dads birthday and he loves it. He already has an android so he talks to Google a lot, so having this at home was a big plus for him. It’s not expensive at all!

We have one on each floor of our house. Easy to set up and easy to use. Good sound quality for a small speaker. Easy access to whatever music we want.

Very useful, it's more than expected. Initially I thought it would not be helpful. However, after purchasing from simple store phone searches to even google duo calls.

Very happy with Alexa until I activated Google Mini. No contest as Google outperforms. One problem is CNN News Feed. Great for Liberals, not me. Don't know how to delete.

It's great for setting alarms, reminders and especially asking for the weather. I didn't buy this for the audio quality or sound. I literally bought just to ask the weather. Great little device.
