    My wife and I were looking into getting a smart speaker / home assistant, and were between this one and the other major brand (that rhymes with "malexa / mamazon"). We decided on this one, and to be honest, it is better than I expected in terms of sound volume and quality for such a small device. Google might still have a way to go with some of the tasks as "malexa", but it will only get better and is a good starter speaker / assistant to try it out, get hooked and then need a bigger / better one. These are also insanely cheap, so ok. certainly worth it.

    I am quite impressed with this little gadget. I already have an Amazon echo Dot which I really like, but I must confess that I like the home mini even more. It is so intuitive, and you can have a conversation with it like a normal assistant (for the most part)

    The Google Home Mini is a must-have for any home or office. This was our second unit purchased and was intended for a child's room. My daughter loves playing games, asking to hear her favorite songs, listens to the news, etc. I love that she can ask what the weather will be like that day and choose her own outfits accordingly. I mean what mom wouldn't love that?! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone and everyone. It's a great price for an awesome product that has the potential to help everyone.

    Let me start by saying I've been using Google assistant for some time now on my phone. Well now you don't need your phone you can say a command and turn your home lights on, or play music, or ask it anything, it learns there more you use it! Must buy at 29.99

    I have these in every room of my house. They give me voice control of my Philips Hue and C by GE light bulbs, as well as all of my VIZIO smart TV's. They tell me the weather. They are my alarm clocks. They are my cooking timers. They are my intercoms to tell everyone dinner is ready. They play music in every corner of my home. The sky is the limit with these... all for a very reasonable price. Set a bunch of these up around the house and you'll feel like you've stepped into the future.

    I had a regular Google Home add two Minis and I can now control things from my bedroom, living room and kitchen .. Love It!! Not to mention I can now walk from one end of the house to the other and still listen to the same music without having the volume up.

    Affordable, but still lacks compatibility

    Great product for the price. In the end of the day, it's a smart speaker for less than $50. Google assistant works great, although sometimes it fails to connect with Philips Hue lamps. My main complaint is that it is not compatible with other Bluetooth speakers in the house, so I can't use them to create a nice integrated sound experience in my house.

    Picked up the Mini to have Google assistant in other rooms in the house. Easy to set up, and discreet. Use mostly to play music, check the weather, and gives reminders. Would recommend to those who are google users.

    I bought the Google Mini essentially for the sound quality. We use it for music in our bathroom. The sound quality is hands down better than the echo dot. The Google Mini also connects to my googleplay music account and will play my playlists too. Love it.

    Saw an ad on TV that piqued my curiosity especially given the price point. Did some homework on the product and given how techie my family is the mini instantly became a Christmas gift. Absolutely perfect that will be fun, novel and useful. Would recommend

    We love the Google mini, we placed it upstairs and it does everything our Google Home does and is so much fun for the whole family! From using it to track Santa Clause to going step by step over recipe instructions I really cannot imagine life without it!

    Plug and Play Simple

    Plug it in and go...it runs you through the setup easily. I'd give it 5 stars if I didn't have a concern about privacy. It's basically constantly listening to you unless you physically switch off the mic - at which point it's really useless. Still, it works as it should as a hands free helper. I use it for weather updates and music for the most part.

    This is a great little speaker. I like being able to schedule my appointments and control my Phillips Hue lights, Nest and Harmony Hub remote. The addition of this $30 speaker to the existing gadgets makes me feel like I live in a home from a scifi movie.

    I like both Google Home and the Amazon Echo dot, but the sound quality on the Google Home Mini is hands down better than on the Dot. The style is also better. The only complaint is the touch volume controls are poorly executed, but no matter you can just say “volume level X” .

    I love the size of the mini. It is not conspicuous in a room however, what it lacks in size, it gives up in convenience. The hands free option in the kitchen enables me to ask questions while cooking, time food, all while listening to my choice of music.

    The Google Assistant is hands down the best assistance on the market. Being able to get it in such a small device like the Google Home Mini is great. I have 5 spread throughout my house to control lights, TV, whole house music, and Chromecast Video/Audi.
