    Inexpensive, great for family to use. Elderly would love this, listening to old classics from back in the day. It's a no brainer, purchase this item and you WILL not regret it!

    Love my mini! Makes for a great 2017 Christmas present! I mainly use it to play music on a whim and as a flexible alarm. Just those two functions alone make it worth it for me.

    The best smart speaker for most people

    I have perhaps too many smart devices in my household. I don't really use light switches anymore - I have an app for that. The same goes for running the vacuum, mopping the kitchen, and choosing what to watch on Netflix. Pretty much the only way my home functions at all is thanks to smart speakers and personal assistants like this one - and I have quite a few. From massive electric monoliths to wearables to smart screens, I've tried just about every variant of the Google home you can get. And so far I don't think I've found any that can beat the Home Mini. Yes, there are some areas where it's underwhelming. The built in speakers are just okay. It doesn't have a screen to watch videos on, or a clock. And you can't stick batteries in it and take it camping with you. But you also can't just stick any of the devices that do have all those on a wall behind a desk and pretend like you're Captain Picard as you turn off the lights with your voice. While those more complex Home devices all have their purposes, the mini is the only one cheap enough and versatile enough to fill your house with. They are essentially the backbone that enables my home automation system, and I rarely ever find that I miss the better speakers or colorful touchscreens. If you've got any kind of interest in home automation or simply rely on your Google Assistant on your phone to manage your schedule, this is where you should start looking.

    Purchase to use in the kitchen and works great! The speaker is loud and clear when playing music. At times it is hard to speak over the music but it eventually gets my command.

    I still like the small aspect of the regular Home that I also own, but I wanted to have more than one without spending too much. The sound is ok, not bad considering the size.

    Easy to setup up and use device. Pairs easily with other Google Home devices. Happy with purchase and price, only shortcoming is lack of current compatibility with some devices

    Very useful device. If you pair it with your google account, it can update you on the weather, commute, news and your schedule. Since you have Google on it, you can ask it questions and you can also enjoy your favorite music by pairing it with your Spotify, Pandora, Sirius XM or Youtube account. The sound is really nice, clear and it can get really loud without any distortion. My family and I use it everyday. If you link it to your chrome cast device on your tv, you can also select Netflix, Hulu and Google Play Movies at your voice command.

    I had an Amazon echo dot and picked up the Google home mini on sale. Google's mini is definitely smarter than Amazons echo dot. The home mini does a better job picking up what you're trying to say whereas with the Echo I find myself repeating requests.

    Got this as a Christmas present for my wife who has the Goggle Home and loves it. Placed this in another part of the house so she has access everywhere. $29.99 price was great.

    The only thing I am concerned about Is the ability of the Google mini to be able to listen in on private conversations with family and friends and disseminate that information

    We have a Google Home in our kitchen and added in two minis this Christmas...one for the basement and one for my daughters’ room. They love to listen to kids meditations at bedtime and I can control it from my phone I’m another room. The dark grey is an awesome color and the small size is excellent on sound without taking up a lot of space. I will probably add 2 more for bathrooms when getting ready.

    We ended up getting a few of these for the home. It is so easy to ask for information to be sent to our phones for later reminders and tasks to do. We love how all the google homes sync and play music throughout the house. Our nieces and nephews learn to use it and we require them to ask google with please and thank you’s. It is fun to wake up in the morning and tell google, “good morning!”

    I have a main speaker in the living room which produces great sound for music, but having the mini's in the bedrooms is wonderful. It provides music throughout the house not to mention being able to say "hey google" anywhere to control the whole house and find out any information from anywhere and not have to go to one specific room. They are perfect for building your whole house smart home system.
