    I made a terrible mistake when I got the Google Mini instead of Alexa. Most of my friends have Alexa and it seem to work perfectly. Every time I try to play music from my mini it is a struggle. It simply says it is going to play but never does it. It is very frustrating! Some times I have to ask several times until it actually work. I also feel like It never knows how to answer any of my questions. Simple or complex ones. Not even worth the discounted price I got on Black Friday. I would love to get my money back and change to Alexa. Do not buy this product!
