Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a good unit as a secondary unit. We use it in the kids room so we can engage w/ Google Home throughout the home and listen to music around the home.

We purchased for a couple of our children. They had no interest in them at all. Would rather just use phones. Never opened and returned to store

I like it but I wish it worked with I heart Radio App it works with Pandora and some others but Im still learning how to use it. So far I'm not impressed.

Good device but cheap sound. Not great for everyday use but good enough for a small room that needs a google speaker.

I would give it a 5 star for the rest of my family but for some reason it doesn't like the tone or something about my voice. It never understands me.

Purchased for my mother and had a difficult time pairing with her Samsung galaxy note 8 so we returned purchase.

THE GOOGLE MINI HOME WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT...HAVE BOTH ALEXA AND GOOGLE HOME...WAS SURPRISED THAT ALEXA WORKED BETTER THAN GOOGLE HOME MINI....

I have several gripes: it does not support Iheart Radio, no intercom ability and the sound needs inprovement. Overall it's a very good device.

I was split between the Alexa Dot and the Google Home Mini, so I bought both to compare side by side, what the heck, only $29 each right? lol Anyway, I have smart outlets and LED color bulbs to play with and compare between the two devices. The sound difference between the two is night and day, with the Google Home mini winning hands down, sounding much richer and louder. Turning other smart devices on and off, they are both about the same. Asking each the same questions side by side, the Google Home won again. I think because the Google mini uses Google as a search engine, as compared to the Alexa Dot using Bing. But the Mini 9 out of 10 times has some sort of answer, where asked the same question to the Dot, most of the responses were "I don't know that one". If the google didn't know the answer, it would at least come back with a funny sarcastic answer, giving you something other than "I don't know that one" Now the last major part of the 2 devices is the ability to either cast audio of any kind to it, Yes or now, and being able to send the audio out the Dot or the Mini with the 3.5mm headphone jack. THe Dot has the ability to send its audio out with the 3.5mm jack, which sounds awesome by the way, where the Mini doesn't have this ability, Google wants you to cast to a Chromecast audio or Chromecast. Both can Bluetooth from your phone. So we decided to keep the DOT for the bedroom so we can control audio in the bedroom over a pair of PC speakers since the DOT had the 3.5mm out, and keep the Mini for the living room since we can cast to the TV's chromecast that we already have and the ability to cast audio on our phone to the Mini. They both have the positive sides, but if wanting to play audio out of the device by itself, the Google Mini sounds way better!!

I thought it would be better because it was a google product. It was just an average product. Speaker is compared to my daughters from 5below

I already had an Echo by Amazon. Since my car has wifi, I thought I could put this in my car. It didn't hook up like the Echo dot did.

Great with general questions. Haven’t yet mastered the spotify use. Too many advertisements and not my selected music. Otherwise ok.

It’s ok. Controls some of my home automation. It’s just not as good as the Echo but way ahead of Siri.

Speaker has to be plugged in at all times. Not convenient to play music or use it anywhere if there is not an outlet available.

It's ok but of course a few weeks later Apple came out with their version which is compatible with apple music this one is not. Overall works fine.

Really doesn't hit full potential without interconnectivity to devices like chromecast or smart plugs. A little annoying to say Hey Google every time.

Easy set up, but the microphone sometimes has a hard time picking up your voice, and the speaker is only ok with zero bass output.

Got one of these in a bundle with Nest thermostat. Gave it two stars because you can play music on it.

Initially this was good and as days passed with lots of usage this feels not working the same command every time

Cannot get it to do anything but play music. Could have got that on my IPhone that I already had!!!!
