Extremely loud for its size and shape. It works with most smart devices like the Song TVs. To control your smart lights and thermostat you do not need to set a command like with amazon echo.

I bought this to compare the Amazon Dot and this just blew it away. Conversation searches, sound quality is amazing for a small speaker and seamlessly working with my phone's apps. Amazing!

I have the orginal Google home and bought 2 on black friday. Great price and with gift card was only $19.99. Works as good as orginal. Speaker sounds better to me. Put one in bedroom to control lights, weather in morning, traffic to work and listen to music at bedtime.

I recommend the google mini to everyone. It's small and can be concealed anywhere but the speaker packs a punch. Being able to work my Phillips hue lights with the speaker as well as Spotify/YouTube is convenient. I love being able to tell Google I'm going to bed and have her ask what time to set the alarm for before she plays an hour of calming sounds. In the morning, I get an alarm, weather update, and review of my calendar.

Read my review of the Google Home. I purchased this device along with two Google Homes. Ended up returning the Google Homes and keeping the Mini. I used this device in my kitchen, where most of the conversations with friends and neighbors happened. This device play ok music, I would like to connect it to a better speaker, but it is ok for now. I like how the google assistant handles the questions. Overall it works well and I would certainly recommend.
The only issue I found is that I can't connect to speakers by bluetooth and it also does not have a audio out port on the back (like the Echo Dot).

WOW! I didn’t expect the great sound that comes out of the Google Home mini. I now have a personal assistant that can help me keep track of things in my busy life. Paired with a set of Phillips Hue lights allows me to set the perfect mood to relax or to watch a movie.

My wife wanted a Home for the bedroom, but we don't need the amount of sound output up there, so we got this one. Does everything she wants, and takes up much less space on her nightstand.

Bought this during its sale period in December of 2017. I only ever use it to play music, manage Todoist, set occasional alerts, or ask the odd question, and I still consider it a bargain.

Purchased the Google Home system and installed it that afternoon. We use this daily for various reasons, goofy questions and even to read a bedtime story (didnt know it did that!) Set up for all devices to play Spotify, google music ect at the same to to have a "surround sound" effect through the house. Looking to purchase a Google mini for each room, and to upgrade the lighting fixtures to work together.

Better sound than the Dot. Also much better at finding and presenting information than the Echo series. The Echo is a bit better at home automation, but the Google devices are catching up.

I have the normal Home in my kitchen, and I decided to buy this for my son's nursery instead of a dedicated white noise machine. I can ask it to make several relaxing sounds, or play a playlist of music to help him sleep. I also use it to check the weather when I get him dressed and to set alarms for me when I fall asleep rocking him.
I've found this to be far more useful than other products specifically geared towards nurseries.

The Google home mini works well. We have it in our bedroom and ue it when we get ready for work. It does not have as good of sound as the Google Home, but still responds and sounds decent.

I bought this as a Christmas present for someone so I don't even know if it works yet. Sorry for the helpless review, but I need the 25 points. I will add to the review after we have used the Google Mini. Oh, by the way, the price with a BB gift card was a plus also.

This is really a good toy for everyone. It is really fun to ask it about music and everything that you can think of. You can get any music to play and do calls just by asking it to do it.

Purchased this for my daughter. We have the regular Google Home and love it. The mini does just about everything the same. Connected within mins. Will be purchasing another for my office.

My family and I enjoy having this little device in our kitchen counter. It answers simple questions like what is the temperature outside, play music, what time the library closes.... We just need to start the question with "hey Google...". I have no paid subscription nor have explored all it's functionality, but it's totally worth the $20 I paid for it on Black Friday. It's fun and helpful.

So awesome to setup and start using right away. This works great as it finds your wifi and cinnects using your phone and then uses music programs to stream. It's a dream to setup and use.

I like the Google Home Mini more than the Echo Dot. They are very similar in terms of how they sound but the Home Mini is better at compound questions and has a bigger library of content.
