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.

It’s so cute. But seriously, it’s perfect for additional, smaller rooms.

I purchased this speaker because i wanted a “Home assistant” such as the amazon Alexa or the echo dot, I don’t have either of those so I don’t have anything to compare this product to but I like the google Home mini a lot it connects to my Netflix and my chrome cast and plays stuff on my tv with just my voice! Pretty cool

I really like the minis I have 3 through out my home. The wife uses one in the master bath to listen to her favorite pod casts. The sound quality on these small devices is surprisingly good, but if your looking for something louder and with better sound upgrade to the google home. We use the broadcast and music the most.

This was a great product for a great price! Google assistant recognizes my voice and typically gets commands right the first time around! I was able to link my Spotify account, so I can control my music hands free while I’m cooking!

I have been using the speaker for 2 weeks and it is great. I use it for an alarm clock, speakerphone, and just to ask questions. It is very easy to use and new features are coming out all the time. I like it better than the echo dot.

I hate to admit it but this is better than Alexa. I have both...and it seems google can answer way more things, where Alexa always say "hmm I'm not sure". I think its a great gift! Who doesn't like technology that makes life easier.

I wasn't sure if this would be a great product to purchase originally. I had heard many "iffy" reviews on the Amazon Echo and was scared to try something different. I decided to watch a few review videos online and went on a whim to buy the Google Home Mini. To my surprise, the product is amazing, especially for the price. I have it in my bedroom and it is plenty loud and the microphone can hear me clear as day even in the lowest speaking tone. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a small, affordable, smart hub.

Very small speaker which you can place anywhere with a electrical outlet. Easily link to Spotify and other Google products like Chromcast Audio and Chromcast Ultra. It has TuneIn radio built in and trivia games to play with friends.

This is a great google home for the price. Has all the features of the original google home yet it's half the size. Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a google home that doesn't wanna pay the higher cost for one.

I control my Phillips hue lights, play my music, set my schedules all with my Google home setup. I had Amazon product and just not nearly as good. The Google Home has a better speaker than the mini but for 50 bucks this is a steal.

It is an awesome device for the price you get it for. Excellent sound quality. Understands commands and questions very easily. The only drawback I would say is you don't have lot of song collection for free. Most of the songs ate available with subscription.

This was the perfect add On coming from having the Google Home. Pair this up to be upstairs, since I live in a town home. Pretty loud for being such a small speakers, and doesn't take much room. Definitely recommend it to everyone!

The google home mini is a great product for people just getting into smart speakers and home automation, the google assistance can answer almost anything you throw at it, plus it integrates smoothly with the nest lineup of security devices. The google home app generates a giant list of compatible apps to be used with the google home lineup of speakers. Music integration is great as well, spotify works great the google home mini, and the upward facing speaker sounds nice as well. My only gripe is that the google assistant can't hear you that well when music is playing, and while the sound quality is nice, my sony bluetooth X11 speaker that cost $30 rather than $50 seems to have a wider range.
