Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this to schedule appointments and set reminders, mostly. What did we ever do without these things? It definitely eases stress and helps multi-tasking when I’m in a rush.

Mine is the first-gen Home Mini. My gripes are two-fold: 1.) It's a pitiful bluetooth standalone speaker, and won't stay connected to any device I pair to it. (Including a Pixel phone.) Casting to the device works fine, but trying to connect to it as a bluetooth speaker just doesn't work reliably - it cuts out after a few seconds or minutes. They've released half a dozen updates since I've had the speaker, and none have resolved this. 2.) Voice Recognition on this first-gen unit isn't as fast/accurate as the newer devices, which perform V-R locally on the device as opposed to querying the net. Otherwise, it's useful for controlling lights and setting timers/alarms, asking weather and traffic queries, and general information.

I needed a new thermostat and my power company had great rebate offers that Nest qualified. The home mini was a freebie that came with each Nest. I had been toying with getting with it and automating my home but had too much conflicting information between Alexa, Google and all the others. I can't be happier with the mini, Everything I have been wanting to connect, is now connected, controlled, scheduled etc. I just wish I had gotten with it sooner. How much do I like it? I purchased and set one up for my Mom (86 years old) It has helped her independent living so much. With me being 3K miles away a huge piece of mind.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my father. He loved it, easy to set up and perfect for all his needs. Highly recommend. You can also purchase wall outlets that work with it.

I use it on a daily basis. It may not, at this time, be as robust as the Echo, but the speaker is just as nice. The Google Home Mini is much nicer than the Echo mini equivalent.

Fun little device powered by google. You can add other pieces to link so google can turn your lights on and off or play Netflix. (Just make sure they’re compatible with google.)

I brought this google mini for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas and she just loves this product. Any question she have even for learning purposes she just ask Google....

Put this on the 3rd floor so I don't have to walk upstairs to reach my children. Speaker sounds great! Don't call me lazy, just love my tech!

Found a great deal on this google mini home on thanksgiving! Arrived super quickly. Less than a week and I know it will make a great Christmas present!

I have Alexa shes good but google mini to be honest is so much better easy to set up and use and connects atomically to all your devices

I keep this speaker in the bedroom. Great for asking about weather, time, as well as having a decent speaker for playing music when I don't feel like going to the living room.

I have an Apple HomePod which is great, but I have created another small network of Google Home Minis because of their value, reliability, speed, and fantastic sound

For any automated home that’s not an Apple Ecosystem, you can’t beat the google assistant. Loud Clear, and understand my Dominican accent, what more can you ask for!

I wasn’t sure about the Alexa of the Nest from google. I went with this a d very happy with it . The sound is pretty good .

I have a Google Pixel phone and love how it syncs with it. I send to have an Amazon Alexa and definitely prefer the Google Home which is easier to use.

Love this little product. Very simple to use and is great for answering questions and providing information. I haven't used it to turn down lights or thermostats which is why I can't give it a 5 star rating, but I did see it can control up to 1000 items

Love my Google Home Mimi. Google wakes me up in the morning, tells me the weather and news, and plays any kind of music I want. Has a nice sound quality for something so small.

We have purchased several of the Google speakers to automate our home, and be able to play music in most every area of the house. Great little speaker for the price.

I have this and a Google Home in different rooms of the house. They deconflict usually when both can "hear" the question so only one answers. Sound quality is great.

Would like to give it a better name than 'Google'. It would be more personable.
