Had the Alexa dot previously and thought I'd give Google a try.....well not worth the effort. Stick with Alexa, now have 3 in our house.

The Google Home Mini is a good start but it's not quite up to the ability of the Amazon Alexa. I expect it will be soon though.

Good for what it is supposed to do. Simple connecting. Like the black one better. Wish it had a larger variety of colors.

This model is virtually no different than asking your phone the same questions as frequently my phone picks up my queries.

DOES NOT WORK with some SONY Smart TVs

Google Home Mini is basically a glorified speaker that can use limited Google Assist to answer trivial questions. But when it comes to the Smart side of the product, if you have a SONY Smart TV, there is a problem right now that Google Home Mini won't connect to the TV to do what it's supposed to do. I called the help desk, and apparently Google and SONY are working to make the fixes. However, since the reason I bought the product is to start making my home SMART, then the product has failed in that department. It was funny to hear the rep ask me if I'd tried the Smart Lights or Smart Thermostat, and I told him, why would I invest in other Smart products, when the Google Assist can't even run my TV. Also, if you're not subscribed to a premium music service, you cannot directly request a specific song by a specific artist...you will only be able to request playing a generic genre of music, like Top 40 music. For $25, Google Home Mini is a great little toy for my son to play around with, but until the fixes are made to control the SONY TVs, I'm not a big fan right now.
