I bought these for my teenage nieces (1 for myself as well).Great sound, had to figure out the volume touch on my own. I put it on mute when I'm sleep since it's always listening for you to speak.

Had no issues setting this up and using it. Voice recognition works very well. Just say hey google and she is at your beckoning call. Call use to listen to music, search the web, turn on lights and so on. I received this free when I purchased another item, but I believe it is a decent speaker with good volume and sounds really good. If you are looking for a smart speaker at a decent price.....you found it.

My Google Mini sits on my dining room table and can tell me what is on my calendar, or what the weather is for today. It also can give me reminders for appointments. I am still learning all it can do. I have recommended this to a couple friends already for pill reminders, etc.

We have an Alexa and have been using it a year. Bought this to gift to my sister and also to see the difference and we ended up wanting buy one. It is just amazing! It can google which Alexa can't. It has awesome speakers which Alexa can't quite match. It does recognize who is who and it can hear you Crystal clear even when your far. It is witty. It is just awesome !

Google Home Mini is definitely a must buy. Speaker is crisp and loud for the size. Small size also makes it very easy to use in any environment. Speaker picks up my voice from practically anywhere.

Google Home - Mini makes your home smarter

I already had Google Home in my family room so the mini went into our bedroom. It's such a useful tool in so many ways. We set the alarm to get up in the morning. It plays music that we request, answers out questions (most of the time) and since we have 2 now, acts like an intercom when we want to communicate from the other device. We're in process of learning more about what this device can do and adding lights and other devices to make our home "smarter".

Google nailed it again. I am big fan of android. Purchased few smart switches and my home is already smart with Chromecast and switches. I give 4 star only because of not many compatibilities. I hope google will enhance it soon.. for $29 and $10 BB gift card this is a winner.

I use my Google Home daily! Whether it be for waking up to my alarms or using it as a speaker for my music, I always find a use for my Google Home. So much so that this is my second Google Home as I have grown a nice dependancy to gain more intelligence from day-to-day. I got this Google Home in a packaged deal with my Tile purchases and I was able to find my things with Google Home as well. Great working product!

First ever home assistant speaker and glad I got the Google home mini. Does everything the big one does for a fraction of the price. Can't complain about that. Definitely buy more for other rooms

I was optimistic buying this item as I was uncertain what to do with it. It plays my songs, reminds me of daily tasks, and more. It blends in nicely in my room and the assistant has become useful.

I use Google Home to control everything from lights, thermostat to music and playing youtube videos on my android tv. Even the minis have great audio quality. I absolutely recommend this device.

I love google from my phone and now that it is in my house it's even better. Not to mention I love the games you can play with it like taking to santa and mickey mouse. Alexa has been unplugged.

I have this Mini in my bedroom and the bigger one in the living room. I use this Mini as an alarm clock and to quickly tell me about the weather for the day. It is very handy when reading and if you need to define a word, it is easier to ask Mini than to physically google the meaning. There is a lot more that can be done with this Home mini, such as controlling lights in the house. Great value and easy to set up.

Google Home platform is awesome. We have both Google Home and Alexa - find that we use Google more often. Love the home mini because of its size and the ability for it to go just about anywhere.

Good cheap way to jump into a smart speaker already had the big Home. Has all the same features just not as loud but I only tell it to play music on my smartcast sound bar. Use it in my bedroom so it's perfect for the space. Only con is no output jack but I didn't need one.

The Google Home Mini is a very good product if you have a lot of google/android products. I mainly use my Google Home for playing music which has very good quality speakers my personal opinion.
