    Solid Purchase

    I got this back around Christmas when the sales were on and it was for $29.99. I honestly wish I would have bought more now that I come to think of it. This speaker is great to use because it can be placed anywhere and it has a solid sounding speaker for the price and when you add in the google assistant it knocks other speakers out of the water. I had an amazon echo dot and this is much better. The assistant is more helpful and it can connect to google assistant on your phone. It can also be used to pair with other google speakers to give you sound in all the rooms of your house that you place one.

    Great piece of technology! at first kind of hard to talk to it, but give it some time and it will learn your voice and your daily activities, my little daughter even ask for some recipes and I was surprised with the step by step recipe given to my daughter by Google Home.

    Really like the google home mini. Loud and clear and can answer all most anything...When testing the unit I asked a question that the other competitor could not answer but google did. They both are good. I tell it to set an alarm for morning every night.,,works very well.

    I bought this for my boyfriend, and we both love it. We have 2 standard size home devices already, and this one is a great color and size to blend in wherever you put it. We put this one in the bedroom. Great product at a fair price... I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

    We have Google Home so for black Friday when these went to $29 we said why not buy one for our bedroom, so glad we did! I love we can put relaxing thunderstorms or ocean sounds on for bedtime! I highly recommend it! This is coming from someone who also owns Amazon Echo ;)

    Setup was very easy. I like this better than Echo. Seems to be able to provide more answers than Echo. Adds more bass line to music, and the price is right.

    The Google home mini is a great bargain at this price point and functions just like the larger Google home. It can be linked together with other smart speakers and that is how I use it. Also to tell me about my day, the weather, and traffic so it's incredibly functional.

    Got one of these on sale during Black Friday to try out and was pleasantly surprised to see how loud the speaker can get. Wasn't expecting much, but this works as well as the regular Google Homes and probably can get up to 70% as loud for way cheaper than the base model.

    I bought the Google mini with hesitation after I kept on hearing about the smart home craze. I ended up loving it because it is Google and also the fact that it can play my music as well is awesome. The only issue i have with the mini is that it sometimes doesn't understand my command to turn off Phillips hue lights in some rooms. Other than that, it is a great product!

    I own Echo (Alexa), iPhone (Siri) and the Google Home mini. This is by far the best assistant out of the three. The voice is natural and the response is instant. I love this device! If you don't want to spend money for the bigger speaker this mini goes pretty loud also.

    I have the google home downstairs and placed this one in my bedroom. It's a great addition to a smaller room. I mainly use it in this room to turn on/off lights when I am in bed or to play music while I am upstairs working. So, far I am very satisfied with this product.

    Google home is not only the better of the 2 now, it's only going to get better. This little device has made my life simpler, not more complicated and that's what happens most of the time when we introduce technology into our life-flow. Google home is the rare exception.

    Great item to have around the house! I use it to control my TV and projector, which both have Chromecast devices plugged in. I love the quality of the speaker as well for when I want to play Spotify. It's also handy for finding things like the day's weather and traffic.

    Great supplement to our main Google Home

    We bought this as a supplement to our main Google Home for our son's playroom so he can talk to the Hue lights and ask Google to sing songs, etc. Five stars mainly because of the low price, since the sound quality is lower than the traditional Google Home (as expected).

    This is the second home device we get. The big one is best but a bit expensive (the time when I get it ). This is just helps even more, especially I don't have to shout from one end to the other. Other than the speaker, they are almost identical. Very east to use!

    Works way better than I expected. Understands almost anything. If they keep on improving the AI behind it, will be even better. Sound quality and level for its site is very satisfactory. Microphone understands even from the other room 30 feet away... Happy buying that...

    Mini assistant

    She speaks Spanish and English. I have a bit of an issue communicating with her in the language I choose though. She recognizes my mother and I. My phone doesn’t need to be unlocked to play pandora which is awesome. She also tells me the weather, how long my public transit commute will take, I can ask her to remind me in 15minutes to take a pill, pretty much anything I can think of. The sound quality is not bad at all for what it is. Not a lot of bass but the volume is high. She does not hear me too well over loud music though. Overall, great accessory!

    Better than Alexa

    Color preference is important. But this one and the white one is the same. I have both Alexa and Google home mini. I prefer alexa for certain things, such as playing music from my prime music library and ordering items from amazon, obviously. But Google home can answer way more questions than alexa can. And if you have the play music subscription, even better music.

    The Mini works great. Plug it in, set it up, and it's ready to go. Responds quickly to voice commands, and is very intuitive with its responses. Learns over time and is great to have around. Has decent sound quality for the size, and works well as a Bluetooth speaker.
