The google mini is a nice additional to my main Google Home. It allows me to get all the same features in my office without having to move my device from room to room. Good enough sound for a little device.

This is a great way to get quick information by verbally searching the web including weather and commute info while getting ready for work. Set timers, do conversions like ounces to milliliters, set timers and add things to a shopping list all hands free in the kitchen. It's also a Bluetooth speaker to listen to music and podcasts from your phone on. I definitely recommend this product for anyone looking to get into AI speakers at a cheap entry cost.

Why type your search when you can say it? The Google Home Mini gives you the freedom to get your answers quicker than typing. No more misspelled search entries, no more scrolling for the answers. Just ask!

I have been an Echo user for some time and I like the way Alexa works; however, I feel she’s too Long winded. Google Home Mini gets right to the point and answers my question with little or no fuss. That’s all you can ask for.

If you can still get this for the $30 Christmas deal, this is a no-brainer. It serves up Google Assistant with decent speaker quality for the cost (clear treble and mids, very lean bass and zero sub-bass).

At first I thought I would not use this as I have an iPhone with Siri already.. we use the google home mini in our living room near the kitchen for music on demand! Sounds great for a little slick product!

This is my first purchase of a smart speaker, and I love it! It was very easy to set up and now I have two more so that I can listen to music all throughout my house, or ask Google questions from any room.

I purchased this as a gift but after seeing what it does i decided to keep it for myself. The sound is great. Its like having your own personal helper around the house. I did purchase a 2nd one for a gift.

I have a Google home and a growing smart home. I added the mini for expanded voice coverage, and it does the trick. It looks good but is also small enough to be unnoticeable. Will be getting another soon.

It’s small but don’t underestimate what this little guy can do. If you have WiFi you can play music, ask about weather, search google or link up with your other devices for Handsfree help around the house

Perfect companion to my Google Home Assistant. I have the Google home mini on my nightstand to ask questions, play music and set the morning alarm. Too bad it can't let the dog out too :>)
Great product.

We have been pleased with our Google Home purchased last year. These new minis are perfect for my wife and daughter in their office and bedroom respectively. They love the versatility and speaker quality.

Wow.. This google mini has impressed me with sound quality and of course better voice recognition. Most of the time I'm using it for music and it worked well. Giving four star because I cannot connect TV without Chromecast and also cannot play YouTube unless I subscribed to YouTube RED.

Compared to the Google home this speaker has a better google assistant microphone. The speaker quality is just ok for it's size. Really wish they put an output jack for external connection. Overall this speaker is well worth the price but it feels rushed and could use some improvements.

I purchased this for a friend who is not a computer minded person. They were easily able to connect to their wifi and use it right away. Not as many functions as other models but wonderful for the price.

This product was everything I hoped it would be. It was easy to install and very user friendly. I have one in the man cave, guest room and the children room. Goggle did a wonderful job with this product.
