I live in campus. Every time I try to connect WiFi, I need some kind of browser like web page to login. Sadly, for Homo mini, you can do it, since it doesn't have screen.
The return is smooth. Maybe I will pay it in different living circumstances.

Should no surprise to you to hear again this is a knock off of Alexa. I got both Alexa and Google. my Google already is not responding. Alexa is much better, more advanced don't waste your time with Google. as much as I love Google fire I would not get Google mini

I have own almost all the Echo devices and decided to give Google a whirl. What a mistake! This product is not easy to set up. It is clunky, could not listen to my directions. I returned it in just a few days. Do yourself a favor and buy an echo.

it’s not like alexa. it even sounded different, more robotic, more like I’m talking to the phone assistant machine that reads the menu. Maybe the sound quality isn’t as good? It lacked personality if that means anything lol

Frustrating experience, linking my stuff to it. It wont get lamps linked easily. Also won't play music easily. I wish I could return, but best buy only allows return upto 15 days; I am two days past it.

I have both a Google Home and Google Home mini. The sound quality of the mini is fine. Music sounds good enough for something that small, better than my bluetooth speaker the same size. Podcasts sound pretty good. For some reason, I find the response time on the mini faster than on my Home. My only complaint is they disabled the top tap feature, which means I have to vocally stop it every time. But rumor is that it will be reinstated, so I am not too concerned.
