    We converted our house to a Google home vs. Amazon home. We had Alexa products for a year but decided to switch as google seemed more reliable in voice recognition and search.

    Caveat-I have not yet attempted using this to connect to/control any smart home devices (except the Chromecast... which, lacking a remote control, also leaves much to be desired)! As an avid google fan and long time user of Google Play Store, Music, and Cloud Services, I was expecting the Google Home Mini to surpass the echo as far as content and continuity is concerned. I am not impressed. Drawbacks: -Lack of connectivity with most non-Google products -no remote -although improving frequently, the number of apps is quite minimal, at best POSITIVE FEATURES: - Still playing nicely with You Tube -amazing sound quality for such a tiny speaker. -ability to make hands free calls over Wi-F

    Very responsive, integrates seamlessly across smart home devices and the Google account. A speaker good enough to cover a room. It's speech recognition is better than the echo

    I can not say enough about this item. The home was very easy to setup and very easy to set up the other items that it controls. The seamless setup made this a huge win for me.

    Compared to Alexa Google home mini is by far a better choice, it’s far more intuitive and responsive, we use it for music, home control devices, stories, games and jokes

    It wakes me up in the morning, plays my favorite music and tells me the weather when I am ready to go to work. I have one in two rooms. Works like a charm.

    I have google home and purchased the mini for the bedroom. Works just like the big unit and has a good speaker for music. My favorite part is just getting the weather updates.

    Sound quality is just ok but i guess expected for a speaker that size. Works well with couple of compatibles devices at home, ie Roomba, Ecobee. I also own an Alexa speaker so they're very similar. Nice and compact, must have for home.

    I've had Alexa since it first came out. I thought I would test out a Google one to compare based on an article I read speaking about how great it was, better than Alexa. The app is difficult to use, the voice commands are not intuitive. The only thing that was better was in asking questions like football scores.
