    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.

    This google home mini has been awesome! I received it for free with a purchase of a Nest thermostat. I have this connected to my Nest, TVs, and garage right now. Not only is there the cool feature of asking questions but I can also ask it to add items to my shopping list and then pull it up on my phone when at the store. I ask the Nest to close my garage door, change the temperature and turn on/off my TVs with the option of turning on specific shows/movies on specific apps (Netflix, HBO Now, etc.).

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I bought this because I already had the other smart home option. I was using the iOS device and it wasn't very compatible with the majority of smart home devices. So I bought this one to see which one I liked better. So far this device is my favorite as far as ease of use and compatibility with my life. I would recommend that if you are going to choose between Alexa and google to go with google. They are both decent but google works better for me and my other smart home products.

    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

    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.

    I have both the Google Home Mini and Amazon Echo Dot and the sound quality on this is by far superior. Echo is great for home automation but this is alot better for general google questions and answers. Very practical. I highly recommend

    Got this for my wife because she likes listening to music in the morning when she gets ready and it’s not major but it does what it needs to do. We also enjoy some of the games we can play with this gadget. Got it on sale can’t go wrong.
