It was good at first but then started to become very sluggish and buggy.

Basic setup and use is easy. Setting up to work with smart devices already installed in your home is difficult if not impossible. This item was free with purchase of another item....I definitely wouldn't spend my money on one of these.

The only reason I gave the Google Mini one star is because I couldn't get it to pair up with my Vivant system or Hue lights. It's also lacking some of the knowledge and responsiveness that you'll find with an Amazon Echo. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance in some respects, however, I really wanted something easy to use that pairs with my smart home and I didn't get that with the Google Mini. Having said that, what didn't work for me, doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work for others

It's very helpful but it's useless when searching stuff on Google.
