My thought was it may a lower grade than a Google home and may come with less feature. However, It has all features in small size and also very responsive.

I like it! sometimes google doesn't understand what im asking, but then i can google it and i get the answer, so sometimes thats frustrating. I guess it's still learning. Overall i like it- can get weather, alarms, play music, link to apps you have, turn on and off appliances, even plays games. It can hear me ask a question from upstairs in my room, so thats cool

A beautiful sounding speaker that answers your questions and requests with ease. Definitely worth trying if you’re new to smart speakers or a veteran user.

Answers questions, links to google account and works well with it's voice recognition. Considering cost, good sound capture and projection. Well worth it.

We bought the !enevo and two of these speakers a few months ago. We liked these little speakers so much that we decided to buy another one for our porch. When we go sit on the porch now all we have to do is ask Google to play some music. So cool and convenient. It really is amazing how good these little speakers sound. We are very happy with tnem

Bought this product because my new Vizio TV works with voice commands from the Google Home Mini. Works great and gives my multiple Amazon echoes a run for their money. Speaker is of low quality but everything else works great.

I have been using the google mini for a couple months now and for the price have found it very useful. It is great for common tasks, asking about traffic while getting ready for work, setting a timer while you are cooking, asking quick google questions, asking about weather etc. Yes your phone can do all of this, but with these you dont have to touch your phone or be near it. The minis are worth it, especially when discounted, though im not sure the larger more expebsive ones are worth the bigger price tag.

I now have two Alexa Dots and two Google Homes and I'm loving the Google Home. It is still learning but I don't think it's going to take as long as Alexa.

This little thing is amazing. I can play music, set timers, add to my Google calendar and listen to the news just by talking. A must have for a busy home.

From the easy setup to the unlimited information this Google Mini is by far the most convenient voice assistance I have found. Must get one to appreciate.

I really like this product, it is still a work in progress for sure and that's the only reason why I reserved the star. The Google Home Assistant can be trained to you voice for secure purchase and information related to you.

We bought 4 of these on Black Friday, 1 for every room. We love them. Nice way for the wife to tell me she is thirsty when she is up stairs and I am down!

I have three Google Home devices and am excited to add more functionality by linking the Google mini to my network. Great control for smart home devices.

The Google Home Mini provides you with all the benefits of the Google Assistant at a bargain price (at the time I bought it) of $29.99. A great purchase.
