    Easy to connect to my SmatThing account to control my lighting. Great research tool for the kids homework. Plus works well for the easy things like weather, listening to radio while getting ready in the morning plus more.

    Great for quick searches. Great for playing songs or playlist while I clean. Avoid me from having to find my phone and pair it with my wireless speaker. The only down fall is when music is playing and I want it to stop I have to walk up to it and say the commands inches away from it, other than that love it.

    Decided to try Google Home to compare with Amazon's Echo. When asking the same question, both do not always have an answer; but Google Home appears to have an answer more often. Each is improving their service and both should be better in the future. Need to investigate what other services each support, i.e. home control devices, etc. Since I have Amazon Prime, the music availability seems more complete with Amazon Echo; although you can subscribe to music services using Google Home. The jury is still out, but initially I believe Google Home may have the edge up due to it using Google search as the primary source for retrieving information. A final conclusion will be influenced by what fetures anyone may use with either of the devices. The test is still a "work in progress" and the eventaul release of a similar Apple product may need to be considered. In the mean time Amazon & Google are battling it out at home. Both provide valuable resouces that make things more convenient. Need to spell a word correctly, 'jsut' ask, (neither deals with typos).

    Great product that helps give you voice control over your Smart Home devices. This is much cheaper than the Home and Home Max devices and works great in rooms where you don't need or want one of those other Home products.

    Great for asking various questions, but when I have my android phone and google home mini in the same room, it becomes a hassle. When I'd want to ask google to call someone from my phone, it would end up calling from the home mini which doesn't have a strong microphone. Aside from stuff like that, it's good.

    I already have several Amazon Alexa's through out my house, but she is not the best when it comes to asking google type questions. I got this to be able to ask questions that Alexa struggles with. So far I am impressed!!!

    I already use my Google Home Mini every, single day. It works well with my Chromecast-enabled TV and I'm looking forward to having even more connected devices moving forward. I already wish I could have one in every room.

    I already owned the original google home before purchasing the mini and was not expecting great sound quality but i was wrong. The mini sounds almost as good as the base model with all the same perks as with great sound.

    Set up is very easy and rather quick. You can add your favorite free or paid music such as the google music or spotify or something else. Even if you don't use any additional settings or apps, it is still very useful. I can ask it to wake me up at a specific time, tell me the weather for today or the week.

    Once we set it up, the voice commands really worked wonderfully. We switched from another brands decide as we could not get the variety or accuracy of the songs we are finding with our new google mini.. We love it so far

    A great assistant to have, I switched over from Amazon's Alexa and it was worth it. Google is the leader in innovations and this is one for the books. Google mini even recognized my kids voice with out programming it...

    Nice little speaker with google assistant. Easy setup and the sound quality is much better than I expected from a speaker of this size. Only problem I have experienced is when tried to control harmony remote. And also unable to link to hue light.

    I bought the echo dot first. Returned it for this since I found out works well with chromecast which I have on all my TVs. Sound is loud for a small unit like that one. I ended up buying 3 during the Black Friday sale.

    I got this item to add to my smart home collection. I have Alexa devices also. This speaker is very clear and loud.. I do the like the sound better than the Alexa devices. It just needs to be able to do more You can change the sound of the voice which is nice. Overall I like it, just wish it was smarter.

    Google Mini needs some improvements

    The Mini has great sound for a small speaker but it misses some obvious questions. sometimes you need to ask the question several times very slowly so that the Mini does not misunderstand the questions. For example, I asked about how much the US spends on an item and Mini thought that I said CVS. Twice!

    I have the Google Home in my kitchen and I purchased this to put in the bedroom. The sound is great and does exactly what I need it to. It also works well for an additional alarm next to the bed. I highly recommend it.

    I put the charcoal mini in a bedroom with darker furniture. These are great additions, especially in large homes, to the larger portable unit. For very small rooms, where you don't need portability, these are perfect!
