Love its size, can’t really notice it. I’ve paired it with a smart switch to turn on the leds in the cabinets and it works perfectly. Easy setup, no issues at all. Needs improvements for sure but already a good start.

This is a great addition to my smart home devices. I installed them in every room. The integration with Philips hue is awesome. I can control the lights from anywhere in my home even when I dont have my phone with me.

My wife and I got Two of these after seeing our neighbors.
Use them both multiple times each day. Still learning capacities after the first month.

Got it during Black Friday for only $19 and it’s the best Google product I own. It does everything I need to do. Perfect for reminders and recipes.

It connects well with my apps. It isn't as loud as I would like but is if you are in the room. Wish it could connect with other Bluetooth speaker I have. Kids love playing with it especially with the Santa questions.

Just beginning to explore the smart home technology. This was a black Friday buy. For the price I could not pass it up. Hopefully it doesn't go the way of Betamax.

Bought this on sale for $30 on cyber Monday. I’m still learning about everything it can do but I’ve paired it with 2 insignia smart plug-ins and I can command the lights to turn off and on so I’m basically a God now.

Great gadget to have in the home. Not too bad of a speaker and all of the functionality of a Google Home without the potpourri/air freshener look.

I love this thing. It's small, looks nice and always has the right answer. We use it for timers, weather and checking on all types of information.

What's lightweight, palm-sized, wireless, and shaped like an arepa? The Google Home Mini Smart Speaker. Safety 4-U: program lights to turn on B-4 you get home after dark. Convenient: shut TV, turn on overhead lights or lamps or both with a voice command, or a cell phone. Affordable: no electrician needed. Shh: hey, Google, lower your volume. Nice.

This things beats the pants off Alexa. I just wish it could tell when a commercial is on and not get activated when someone on TV says hey google.

We have echo dots in our home and the Google mini is much better. It answered questions echo could not and also understands voice commands better.

Perfect assistant if you use a ton of Google products like YouTube red, Google play music. Easy to setup and very intuitive recipient of commands.

Used it to listen to the news and christmas music. Way louder than you'd think. No YouTube video will do it justice. It easily covered my kitchen.

This speaker is better than my bluetooth speaker. It can play Netflix movie with voice command but not Vudu or Movie Anywhere. So far, I loved it.

If you are looking for a home convenience product, this is it. I love that you can ask google anything no matter where you are and get an answer. I bought it for my parents, and they love it. Easy to use and set up.

I've had this for about a week, and compared to the Dot the speaker is a little better, and I like that it can answer non-specific questions better and more thoroughly. It is much slower to make any response though.
