    I became the owner of the Google Mini-Chalk when it was included free of charge with a purchase of my Acer Chromebook. What a disappointment! It seems that 2 out of 3 things that I would ask it, the answer would invariably be , “I’m sorry, I haven’t learned that yet. The one time it had the correct answers but was answering too quickly for me to right them down, I could not get it to repeat those answers, which were relevant, but instead gave different answers that were completely irrelevant. No matter what I asked or did, I could not come up with the original answers. It has not helped me out one iota. I unplugged it & haven’t used it since.

    Useful. But requires paid subscription if you want to hear specific songs and if you want to skip commercials.

    Got it for a Pollyanna, I think it’s kinda stupid but makes a cool gift. Hopefully Apple comes out with a competitor:

    I've had this unit for over 7 months and have yet to get it to work! When I try to get it to play music it says that I have to have spotify, but I do have spotify! This came "free" with my Nest thermostat on a special pricing - which is good because I would never buy it. We have Amazon's Echo and it works great every time.

    It's a decent product. Sound quality is okay. I think Sonos or even Amazon echos sound better.

    Instructions leave a lot to be desired. Being of moderate knowledge on tech items it should have more information with it.

    We received one of these with a washing machine purchase. I tried using it just as a Bluetooth speaker and after a week of frustration I threw it out. Maybe it’s because I use an iPhone not android or something, but it would constantly disconnect after a few minutes.

    While it is supposed to recognize only your voices it recognizes anyone's voice. Learns very slowly. Still working on it

    Great for info and control of things. Sound is — as expected, not great. But it can be paired with BT devices.
