Similar to Amazon's Alexa, this device does a great job when used for everyday questions. And, the price is right. I would recommend 2 or 3 per house!

Love this little gadget as you can program it to do whatever you want, from playing music to controling even your TV to watch Netflix and YouTube videos. I'm even thinking of buying one for each one of my family members.

Easy to setup and use. Gives very accurate info for shopping, restaurants, traffic, weather, or other general info. Works great in streaming Pandora.

Love using google to ask questions instead of searching on my phone! I have recommended to several friends who have gone to Best Buy to purchase one.

Purchased this for my son’s room. He loves it. Had to buy one as the Home was a great addition to our SmartHome. A great addition and easy to install

I thought this would be a great addition to my Google Home I got for Christmas last year and has resided in my kitchen. I got this for my bedside with intention of minor music streaming, some podcast listening and an alarm clock. Main issue I have is sound quality really suffers above about the 40% level. Way too tinny and ear drum piercing. Also doesn’t work well as an alarm clock as the top button has been disabled by google due to privacy concerns. So the only way to stop an alarm early in the morning is to say “OK Google, stop alarm” which proved too tough for this device to handle when I was still waking from my stupor. I heard they dialed it in so you can push and hold the volume side of device to deactivate alarms but I have yet to try the update.

Took a while to set this bad boy up, almost returned it thinking it wasn’t going to ever connect. Finally got it connected and it sounds and looks amazing. Am very happy with it and will probably buy more in the future.

Picked this item up at my local Best Buy because the price couldn’t have been better, took it home and played with it to see which was more useful and gave better information, Google Home or the Amazon Echo.
After just a few minutes of asking Alexa questions and then asking Google Home the same questions, I found that the Home provided better, more relevant information which is no doubt because of its access to the Google search engine. If you like having toys get both, if you only want one, buy this one. It has many more pros and less cons than the Echo.

I really love the way my google home mini recognizes my voice/slang even I'm a little far away and i'm especially surprised that it recognizes even Indian singer's names the first time I spell it and played their songs!

So far, so good but I think there is still a lot for improvement yet. It understands and follows the commands quite well; sometimes, it misunderstands. Speaker volume is excellent; good enough for the whole living room.

I love this Google Home mini to use in the kitchen while preparing an online recipe. It simplifies the process by telling me the recipe step by step.

Have been using for last few days, am happy with the way it assists in calling, casting devices and setting alarm and all.
Giving 4 star as i think there is lot more scope to improve and be a much better device to use.

I love the Google Home Mini. There are just so many great, useful features. It beats the echo dot in almost every category and sounds so much better.

This is our third - they are super convenient if you have smart devices around the house. Work great with Nest, SmartThings and Hue. Would recommend!
