    Better than Echo

    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.

    I have another home device, and its hard not to compare the two. Alexa does things like send messages, but can not answer a question. I prefer google home for things like weather, facts, explanations. I prefer alexa for audiobooks and music.

    I'm always so impressed with technology! The speaker is loud and clear. It picks my voice up from across the room. It plays my news and Google Play music playlists. I am super happy with this purchase. Not to mention it was so easy to setup.

    I have the Alexa Echo and I think the Google mini is much better. Google is able to answer way more questions than Alexa. I bought one than proceeded to buy myself another one (for another room) and than bought 3 more for Christmas presents.

    Google Home Mini Does Everything the Google Home and Google Max Does...Google Home Products are Really Nothing More than Bluetooth Speakers...The Mini is the Smallest of the Line but Definitely Fills the House with Quality Sound...I expect to Upgrade to the Max at some point as it probably packs a little more bass to thump Hip Hop.

    The Google Home mini is the perfect, low cost edition to my Google assistant ecosystem. The sound quality is better than the echo dot and the majority of Bluetooth speakers at this price point. And it passes the Wife test with flying colors.

    I bought one to see what’s the hype behind speaker assistants. This blew my expectations away. I didn’t realize I needed this. Google assistant works with my hue and nest products! I got this during the sale which essentially costed me 19.99

    Having been hey owner of the first Google home I was not surprised on how awesome I’m reliable on the Google Home Manny has become. Don’t let the small size for you sense the speaker and microphone are very reliable and loud. Works great with other home automation devices I highly recommend because of the ease of use. Set timers, alarms, ask for the weather, turn on your lights, and so many more things you can do with the ease of your voice. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to begin taking advantage of these awesome home automation devices!

    Didn't think I would like this but it came free with a Nest purchase. Tried it out and the whole family is enjoying it and have since added two more minis and a full size google home.

    Great unit in a small package. It was easy to set up and connect with Pandora to listen to music. Would recommend and the price is reasonable.

    Got this for my mother who is not tech savvy for use around the house and she loves the ease of use! Now she relies on it for anything from cooking recipes/timers/etc to playing music and finding her phone when she misplaces it. Great if you're looking for a Bluetooth speaker especially if the assistant is an added bonus for you.

    Perfect for an additional room but no replacement for the original Google Home. Sound is lower and mic is less powerful. However, if you add to, say, your kitchen then you're in good shape but don't buy it to replace your original device thats in a large, busy room. The original Home still works better in large, busy environments.

    This is the best voice assistant out in the market. I have two in my apartment. The assistant picks your voice and command easily. The sound quality is better than I expected. It won’t compete with high-end Bluetooth speakers but it does.

    I never really saw the point of these things, but I decided to get one of these for my wife. These little devices are really cool and can do a lot of neat things that I never would have thought of. Glad we have one, I highly recommend it.

    I bought one because it was on Black Friday Sale. At first I thought the audio quality wasn't going to be great but I was impressed. It can call people only if you link it to your mobile phone. It’s small and doesn’t use up too much space

    Received this for free after making a purchase off of Best Buy. Never really wanted one but I figured it was free so whatever. We set this up and linked it to our Google account. Super easy to set up and use. It takes a while for the unit to learn. First couple of weeks it doesn't really know much but gets better over time. We are very happy with it now and it can answer most questions. The only quirk is that sometimes it starts talking on its own LOL.

    My son bought this for his room and it has been very handy. It does it all at the request of the user. Music, alarm and just about anything else you can command. I bought the bigger version for my husband for Christmas. It should be fun.
