Lot of fun in a small package
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've been using the home mini for about a month now. Right out the box the setup was very simple and the home app pretty much walks you through the entire setup as it does with most Google products. At first we used it for simple things for example playing Pandora, and netflix. As time has passed we've started adding home automation to it as well and so far I've been very pleased with the results. My children have also started figuring out a lot of the cool things it can do like reading stories and playing music on the Chromecast in their room. I plan on adding several more home mini's as well as the full sized to be the backbone of my full home automation.

Cool toy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought one for my kitchen. it comes in handy, but I don't use it on a daily basis. I do like the ability to hook it in with my WeMo switches and Nest thermostat. Overall it's cheap enough and helpfulness is worth the 20 dollars I paid for it.

Better than the competition
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google Home Mini is a late entrant compared to echo dot. I had a chance to compare both of them side by side. They are very close in functionality. However google home mini excels in following areas compared to echo dot. 1. Better Speaker 2. Better voice recognition. 3. Better and more relevant search results ( Thanks to google search vs bing provided by Amazon). The only thing I dislike about home mini is the touch buttons on the side. Every time you lift the device it messes the volume or starts playing media. Echo dot does have lot more skills but mini seems to be catching very fast.
