    We bought our own google home mini and loved it so much we got more to give for Christmas gifts. The sale price is perfect! We use it for music, checking weather, and you can even ask her where Santa is. (Try it, it's cute for the kids!)

    This little gadget is the thing!!! The AI is perfect for music playing. The calling feature is awesome specially if you are cooking or cleaning and need to call somebody. Excellent for small apartments and for multi room interaction.

    i now have 5 Google homes (1 home, 4 minis) and they are scattered throughout the house. they make for a great array of speakers to play music throughout the house. I can easily control my switches and smart devices. I also use the broadcast feature to use it as an intercom to talk to the kids if theyr'e elsewhere in the house

    Tired of Alexa never knowing the answers to your questions then Google mini is just what you need. I love being able to get questions answered without having to go to my computer to look it up. Recipes, sports questions, so many things.

    I picked this item up during black Friday for $29 and got a $10 gift card - so it was a great price. The set up was very easy and straight forward and the app is simple to use. This item works precisely as described by the manufacturer.

    I have two of these in different places around the house to accomodate voice control of Phillips Hue lighting around the house. Also great for making a shopping list, reminders, traffic and weather that is tailored to my daily routine.

    Going to be a lot of these connected on Christmas day. Especially at these prices. I already have a Google Home so it was a no brainer to add this into my existing system. Like the Echo Dot, it fits just about anywhere. I would only deduct one star for no line out. Bluetooth is great, but a line out would have been better.

    I'm really enjoy it even without any smart home setups. With youtube music, it is really a good music player. the only drawback is that it cannot connected to a bluetooth speaker .

    I have both this and Alexa and I still prefer Alexa over this for connectivity and whole house automation. Home mini excels at information (which you would expect since it taps into the Google database) and I prefer the softer, more conversational delivery of the mini as compared to the more rigid and robotic tones of Alexa.

    I received this at sale price and placed it on our 2nd floor. With a Google Home on our main floor, this allows us to use voice commands through the whole house. Easy to set up, shares nicely with the other unit when both can hear you.

    You might get more usage out of the Google Home or Mini if you have Google Assistant on your phone, since it will work seamlessly across all your devices. I have another review for a second unit. You can find more comments on that one.

    Good price for a smart home speaker

    Pretty much does everything the full Google Home does but with weaker speakers. Accepts commands just fine for a small room. A good entry smart home speaker overall. Not sure why Google disabled the top button though so you can no longer trigger the Assistant by tapping the top of the Mini (forced to always say "OK Google").

    There is a ton that the Home Mini can do, and I’ve barely scratched the surface. It is a great tool for my calendar, contacts and Spotify. While it doesn’t have anywhere near the sound quality of other items on he market, it’s perfect for an office speaker to just play some background music or listen to a podcast. I love it.

    the sound quality is not as good as the regular google home, but is good enough for causal listening to news/podcast/kids songs. given its low price, it's perfect for voice controlling your home automation (like smart lighting, etc).

    Originally I had the echo dot. I decided to try google and I’m glad I did. I’m switching to all google mini homes. The only issue I have with them is that you can’t connect to audio devices using Bluetooth like I could with echo dot.

    I love the easability of using the device and setting up. I use it in my master bedroom to control my lights and nest. Pairs great with my pixel 2 phone.i like this over my Alexa. (Personally think Google is easier to use than echos)

    I have the second gen echo Dot and it always seems like Alexa doesn't have any answers. I use everything Google and love it. This is sooo much better than the dot. I didn't buy it for sound quality but it's a benefit that is welcome.
