    I like alexa better. Sound quality isn't that good, and the app and compatibility leave a lot to be desired.

    Got this as a free add-on with another purchase. Other than asking what the weather is, or have it read you the news, this is totally useless.

    Wasn't very happy with the sound when playing music. This speaker lacks bass so it sounds very "tinty"

    Google has had some serious cloud issues with their Google Home, and Home Mini for the past few months making the Google home or mini one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Constantly losing my voice data, so it couldn't give me my schedule, shopping lists, etc., making this virtually a useless home assistant.

    I tried this in the echo.both for a few weeks the echo dots microphone is incredible they can pick you up from three or four rooms away or from the floor below you sometimes I have to really pay attention to which way my voice is going because one of the dots will pick me up so far away and there is the Google+ device I had to yell at all the time it never really pictured voice up that well it’s just not as good as the dot

    Not worth the box it came in. Took two or three tries before command was even recognized, much less understood.
