The idea is great hopefully it will get better as it continues to update. The broadcast feature should let you select a certain room to talk to and not connect to all units.

My Google Mini can't answer simple questions the majority of the time. Hopefully, it will get better. I bought one for my daughter too and she likes it for Pandora, though.

Google has a lot, but the Amazon Echo works with more integration. The limits are noticed with security cameras and dual users.

This is just a ok item it came with the purchase of our nest thermostat. I do not use this item, but for some Tech savvy people I’m sure it is great.

Product works and features are nice but we are still weary that these type of products can listen ALL the time.

It’s okay, but not as good as the amazon devices. Look at the Echo Dot instead.

It took me some time to figure out the set-up. It is not too responsive to my voice and the audio quality is marginally OK (not as good as the Echo Dot).

I bought 4 for the house to basically have in every room. Sometimes when it’s playing music it stops on its own. So I guess for the price I paid it’s ok.

Not an expert but I don't believe it has as many features as Alexi. However it works great for smart switches. I can turn lights on and off all through the house

We only use it to play music from Spotify premium. Talking to it is pretty frustrating as it seems to misunderstand a lot.

Got this with the nest smoke/carbon monoxide detector. Haven’t tried it yet but if you want to control your detector this would be good to use....

Speaker wise eh. The google built in was meh. I just feel like Siri and or Alexa are a much better choice in terms of speaker and the bulit in stuff.

The google home is great if you’re a google person. Easy to set up and use. I personally like the Amazon Echo better.

It is good when it is charged. The battery dies very quick if disconnect. When it works it is great and I can do things hand free.

This novel product was fun to give as a family gift. The limitation is that it needs special conditions to link successfully with all its possible functions.

Google Assistant is great, but this product isn't. It takes a long time to set up but once you do it works generally well. It is only decent at hearing you.
