    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...

    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.

    Best buy rewards suck. Hard to actually redeem and it's only 1% so don't waste your time. It's sad that Office Depot has a better rewards system. Oh ya my roommates and I love the home mini it works great and we can now control our hue lights and chromecast with voice

    Use with Apple Products

    I bought this in conjunction with a Chromecast. I've been using it with apple products (iphone 6s, ipad mini 2, and macbook pro). Overall, it works really well and haven't noticed compatibility issues. However, I wish that other music apps could connect, particularly Tidal. If you have a Spotify premium membership, then it would be a lot more fun for music control.

    I bought this because I have the regular Google home and I wanted to have one in my room. I love having it, cuz my Google home is in the living room and sometimes after I'm in bed I need an answer to something, or need to add a reminder and don't have to leave my bed.

    Hey Google give it a review a good review. You can ask it anything like the weather or time or whatever you want. It gives you allot of information on anything you need or want to ask. You can ask for news or what’s traffic like? Question after question it does it all

    I have an Echo Dot and love it so I figured I would buy this to compare and see which one I liked more. I really love the Google because it can play music from a wide variety of places like YouTube /Pandora or other without enabling skills as required by the Echo Dot.

    This is a great product. The uses are endless. The mini's sounds leaves a bit to be desired, compared to the Original Home, but for a Bedroom or Kitchen, it's perfect. Not to over powering, but very audible.

    "Please ask google to play Mickey Mouse". That`s what I hear throughout the day. Fun thing to play with. Playing news in the morning and acts as a timer. Although when I asked it to spell sixty it said "Sixty is spelled six zero"... - good sense of humor I guess.. :)

    This only took about 10 minutes to setup and that included linking it to my Hue Lights and Honeywell Thermostat. I was able to turn the lights on and off and turn the heat up without any issues. Very easy to use with lots of useful information and also a lot of fun!

    I was a little skeptical about the Google Home Mini, but always curious as to what it could do and how it could help me out in my day to day life. I finally broke down and bought one out of curiosity, and it was so worth it. Having Google in my room to answer quick questions, tell me the weather, tell jokes, listen to music & podcasts has been great! This thing is so smart and capable for its size/price. You will be blown away. I loved it so much I paired it with a Chromecast Ultra and now I can control my TV with my voice as well. Great job Google!

    For a speaker for 30 bucks how can you go wrong ask it pretty much anything such as the weather, sports, how to spell words and you can have it call contacts from your phone. with Iphone user you have to extract your contacts from icloud into google hard to explain.

    This is well worth the money! I have never owned an Amazon product, but this is a very cost-effective solution to help automate your home. In my opinion, this is a better option than the normal google home as it has the same functionality at a fraction of the price!

    This is my second home mini, and a perfect fit for small rooms where you don't need excellent sound quality to travel far. Easily sits out of the way for blending in, and allows for easy control of my hue lights, setting alarms, and piping some music in the bedroom.

    This is my first ever purchase of Google home or any other similar items. Small size is convenient for various locations inside the home/room. The speakers of this unit are not the best. I wish they had an option for me to connect this to my other wireless speakers.

    Bought a couple of these a while ago and have started to convert my home over to a smart home. Love being able to just ask Google to play some music. Have been watching a lot less TV and have been more active in the house since getting them. Decided to add some more to other rooms in the house with the black Friday deals on them. Have also added GE smart light bulbs that work with the google products without the need for another hub. It is awesome to turn off all the lights with one command and do it from my bed at night.
