    Nothing but kudos and praise for this little hockey puck. Its so convenient to turn the lights on and off, just ask Google! Want to play music? Google Home Mini can do that. It can tell you the weather, news, and so much more. highly recommended

    I had an Amazon echo dot, but decided to try the Google home mini after reading online reviews and i must say it was worth the change. It helps with a lot more and is loud enough such that a secondary sound system is not required. Great product

    I bought this with the Google Chome cast bundle for 45 and it’s a great little device. I wanted to be able to turn off some hard to reach lights remotely. Google assistant is definitely very helpful for setting timers, asking questions, and casting different apps. Its main use for me is to play music, since I was using a Bluetooth speaker, and having google turn on and off lights since it can be very dark in the morning, being able to request the lights on is helpful instead of having to go across a dark room to turn them on

    I got one for Christmas last year and I bought 3 more this year, for gifts and for myself! I love these! Easy to use and hookup, just plug and get the Google Assistant app on your phone. I use it to control other smart home appliances, to listen to music and ask questions all the time instead of having to google things. I also like when I’m gone I can announce something over the google mini to whomever is at home so it’s awesome and comes in handy! Cheap too! Half price during the holidays!

    Bought this to give as a gift. It’s simple, straight to the point and wonderful for someone just getting into using voice assistants. I love how it’s small but still has the same features as it’s bigger counterpart. Only difference I would say is the speaker quality but that that can easily be fixed by attaching to an external speaker.

    Works as expected. A little disappointed that it came with micro usb and not usb c but, it's going to stay plugged in so I don't care much for it. Sound is really good and it does a really good job at picking up your voice from across the room.

    Google home assistant

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve had the google mini assistant for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I use it to control my lights(wemo), cameras(arlo), thermostat(nest) and then some. Setup of these devices through google assistant is via the IFTTT app and is fairly easy (just a couple of minutes per device). Additionally I use it for simple tasks like setting reminders, checking the weather etc and it works great. It has powerful microphones and can listen to me even when I’m 15-20 feet away from the assistant. The sound quality is great for response to tasks but not great if you want to listen to music on it. I believe the bigger google assistant is better suited for that.i don’t use it to listen to music so I’m okay with the speaker performance. Great product overall. Highly recommend for anybody wanting to smarten their home and routine tasks!

    Better Than Alexa

    I have a Amazon Alexa and I really think Google intelligence is much better than Alexa. In regards to the mini, it can be hard to figure out how to use the volume vs the Dot (Dot has actual buttons vs Google requires you press on the right or left side of the device), but questions asked get answered much better with Google than Alexa.

    Last year I bought a full size Google Home for my living room and always wanted a second for my basement but didn't want to spend $100 so i was excited when the mini was released. It's great to be able to control my lights, thermostat, and music just with my voice.

    I have the google home in our kitchen and I have the google mini in my bedroom. They are both awesome. I can control my lights, doors and a/c from anywhere in the house. And I can get answers to my questions anywhere and any time in the house.

    I have both the Google home and Google home Mini. they both work very well and respond to questions or commands. they are not as good as beer competitors when it comes to home automation but if that's not what you're looking for this is a great product. the new compact Google home Mini can be placed almost anywhere and hardly be seen.

    The Google Home Mini is great! I was a little skeptical when I first bought it because I bought it for a speaker more than anything else. But it has a great sound and it can look up literally anything which helps a lot when I’m doing homework!

    The web flows with review of this and comparison to Alexa. If you subscribe to play music it is a non-brainer. even if you don't, there are workarounds and the value is always unbeatable. I am a semi audiophile and the sound is quite pleasing.

    My girlfriend wanted to "upgrade" from the Echo to these since she uses Google so much on her phone and is trying to get me to do the same. I'll just say that these are much better than the Echo and they seem to listen/understand much better.

    I bought the Google Home last year as a gift for my parents. It was easy to set up and it is super easy for them to use. They enjoy it so much I decided to buy them 2 mini's this year. I have no doubt they will be as great as the Google Home.

    I have the original Home device in my living room. I put the mini in my bedroom and it makes a wonderful assistant. I tell it to wake me up at 8, I stream my podcasts to it, I ask for the weather and more. It’s just the greatest little thing.
