This is our first Google Home mini. We've had the Google Home for awhile now and this mini is just as amazing as the Google home. Simple to use and quick responses.

I found the Mini to be very useful. The Google Assistant is great tool to help connect devices such as the chromecast and phone to tv . Very easy to set up as well.

Purchased on a Black Friday sale, this device is offering me loads of fun and entertainment for a tiny price. The audio quality is amazing for its tiny little size.

If you are looking to add smart home control to your home, the minis are the answer. The audio quality isn't the best but for the price it performs surprisingly well. The minis seem to be able to hear your "hey google" better then the bigger more expensive google homes. Also was even able to hear and respond quite well to my 3 year old nephew. Paired multiple minis to my hue lights, smart thermostat, multiple chromecasts, and a few off brand smart sockets throughout my house and having so much fun controlling everything with my voice. I enjoyed mine so much I went back and bought 6 more as gifts.

Its a best personal assistant for anyone. It is compatible with most of the devices. I recommend you to get a chrome cast with it unless you have TV with android OS

Works decently well. Google Assistant is much better at interpreting command than Alexa. Can't wait for it to be compatible with my Sonos One though because the sound quality through this is nowhere near as good. I expected that, though.

We have a regular Home and decided to add the smaller ones to rooms around the house. Nice sound for bedrooms/offices.

I bought the google mini thinking it would be better than my Alexa. They are both about the same. The google definitely sounds better. Tell you the truth once you buy these things you find yourself hardly using them, so save your money.

This is a great device that is easy to set up and that is surprisingly convenient to have around. Just say "OK Google" and then state your command. Great discounts

Started exploring various options, It can remember anything, save the shopping list for you and if you have TVs connected on a chromecast it is easy to manage the sound and casting with voice command which is very advantageous at times.

I don't need to fish out my phone, tablet, or laptop to search - I just ask my Google mini! Plus the connection to my Chromecast is seamless. Handy toy for my kid!

For the low cost of 29.99 with a 10.00 gift card for black Friday deal, how can it be beat? Not sure we are ready to start adding smart devices so we opted with Google over Echo for the superior Google AI. The mini does what we need it to do - searches, spelling assistant, weather checks, alarm setting. The speaker sound is crisp and loud and microphone quite sensitive. We keep the Google Home mini below our TV and so far have only had a couple of glitches where it attempted to search for something it failed to find, we were startled when it announced it was not able to help with that yet. :-)
