    I don’t think it’s my imagination but I think my google home mini understands more that I say than my dot does. I don’t get as many “I don’t understands” from google. Haven’t hooked her up tu lights yet.

    Simple to install and configure for home automation on my wi-fi network. Google assistant learned my voice with no problems and even recognizes my wife's without training right now which was a surprise.

    Added this in addition to my three other units. Very happy to spend $29 for a smart speaker that works with Google Assistant to command my devices controller by Samsung SmartThings Hub. Sound quality is ok, but pretty decent considering the size. Will probably add more as time passes.

    Google Mini Rocks big time !

    This Google home surprised me. I didn't do my research beforehand to find out that they permanently disabled the top touch pad which takes away the only physical way to stop music/prompt the assistant in the first place. Seems like a manufacturing defect had a few of them constantly activating on their own so Google had to disable the top touch pad through a software update. Other than that it's what you'd expect, you can get the assistant to do various tasks, such as streaming music or casting to a chromecast, etc. The speaker it has isn't the best obviously but it's good enough considering the price and form factor. If you wanted to have access Google's assistant for a low price, this is your best bet.

    I prefer Google Home mini to Amazon Echo Dot. The mini has better sound and seems to understand my voice better than the Dot. Speaker quality is actually really good as well. Great addition to the home.

    We use our goggle talk daily, however the large one is too big to place on a small table or shelf. So I was so happy to find this mini size. Love them so much, I got 3 more to place in all the bedrooms.

    Getting one for each room in the house

    I bought the smaller one first hoping we'd just get used to it and now we have 3 of them, we've bought 2 as gifts and the people love them. It's nice to come home and while you're unloading or settling in, you just ask it to play music or go through the news or play something on TV. It's useful when you have questions about something or need to know movie times right away too!! We will get the bigger Google home as well, but these play music loud enough for our liking

    Mini personal assistant

    The mini blends right in and requires little space. I like having an assistant to answer all my crazy questions and keep me on track for my day. It's a nice addition to our home but it is limited with access to certain apps and capabilities. With some work, it can be a great product.

    The sound quality and volume is great for its size but I ended up returning it because I have no other smart gadgets so the google Home mini didn’t have anything to control which made it useless for me.

    The Google home mini is a very good speaker for a non primary room. We already had the Echo and a few Echo Dots, but wanted to try the Google home mini to evaluate it's advanced speech features. I like the Google home mini, but find the unmarked controls sometimes difficult to find.

    Although I rated this with stars I tend to feel that Alexa app is much more user friendly but then this could be a user error issue. I'm very pleased with this product and the price is very affordable.

    Useful Gadget

    Google Home is a great gadget to have for music, info, and functionality. We bought 4 during Best Buy's holiday sales-- great value at $25/each. We use it for music daily, ask it questions, and even place phone calls. Bought the Chromecast & hooked all speakers up together for a wireless home music network. Our 4 year old uses it too! Great, inexpensive addition to our home tech network. Gave 4 away as gifts also & would definitely recommend!

    Google assistant works relatively well. It is useful in control other smart devices. The speaker is just ok. It works for general purpose but not great for music. For the price it is well worth buying.

    Google home, either size, is an amazing product. It literally is google on your phone but without having to type, answers all your questions, plays music, it does everything. The darker color is great.

    I have a google home as my main device but it won’t pick up my voice in certain areas of my home. So this was a no brainer to add to my collection on smart home devices. It works great! I may buy more!

    I got this on sale for $30, and that puts it into impulse buy territory. The things you can do with this are amazing. I was really surprised with how good the speaker sounds too for how small this is.
