    It works well

    We bought a few of these minis and set them in various rooms. They work well together. We also connect the minis to our Android phone so when we give the commands, the minis also respond. One strange thing: Google mini lights up at random times when we don't even talk to it. Not sure if this is a glitch, but it's disturbing.

    Deceptively good sounding speaker for such a tiny package. Comes with the smartest most capable assistant. Have many of these littered across the house. Broadcast function is the most useful feature in a two story house to tell the communicate with the kids to come down.

    Kinda cool, it knows everything you ask and you can play any music thru it. Have to buy the chromecast in order to play Netflix and etc thru it but still awesome! Works much better than Siri

    Fails in a major way

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My expectation was that this device would play music that I have uploaded to Google Play Music. I can play all of the uploaded music from any Android phone. But Google requires a subscription to play even the uploaded music. For reasons that tech support can't explain, I can tell the mini to play some of my uploaded songs, but not most. (The choices seem random.) It seems ridiculous that Google encourages people to upload up to 50,000 songs to its service, and then won't allow those songs to be played by its devices. It's a shame because the device is useful in other ways.

    Keeps getting better over time

    The Google Home devices have become an integral part of my home and family. I started out with the Amazon Echo devices, but replaced them all with the Google Home devices. Now I have Google Home devices in almost every room of our house. We primarily use them to control our home automation and entertainment systems, listen to music, and make calls. The Google Assistant AI is vastly superior to Alexa for answering questions. It's seamless integration with Android and other Google products makes it very easy and productive to manage so many things throughout the busy day whether I'm at home or away.

    Came as a gift for purchasing a chromebook over the Holidays. My kids use it in their room and it's great for them to play music or ask for help with homework.

    Bluetooth

    Rated 1 out of 5 stars

    Can't pair with External stereo

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The main reason I bought this was to be able to pair the bluetooth to my daughter's Sony stereo so we could play youtube music. However, the bluetooth on the mini will only pair with a phone. ( In contrast, our Amazon Alexa easily pairs with this same stereo unit But Amazon doesn't stream youtube music). You have to buy a google chrome cast to plug into the stereo then pair with phone in order to and play the music. This seems like an intentional lack of functionality to induce purchase of an additional chromecast device.

    This thing can do anything you want. Control your smart home things. Help you set timers, reminders, and play games. The speaker is nice as well.

    Awesome smart speaker, It does everything I wanted it to do. Music quality isn't the best at high volume, I listen to mostly chill/jazz/instrumentals at medium to low volume so it doesn't bother me. When Google talks to you, she is pretty decent, sharp, & clear enough to hear. I set up an alarm for 7:30 AM, & the alarm was loud enough for me to wake up. The "Tell me about my day" is great, covers everything I need to know like weather, global news, & the time. Btw, this is my very FIRST smart speaker, & I gotta say it was a great purchase!

    Doesn't do what it claims

    Pretty disappointed in my Google Home Mini after it's first 24hrs in the office. Cons Reminders don't work, spent a long time with support just to be told "oh yeah, I just asked around it's not working." Reminders is the main reason we purchased this device. Local radio station cuts out after about 90 seconds of playing. Many questions will not trigger a simple Google search. Instead it tells you "I can't help with that yet." We just were asking for you to search Google, on a Google device. Spotify plays some convoluted stuff when we ask it to play holiday music. Gangster rap and other obscure things we usually listen to make its way to the playlist by the first or second song. Then you get two of the same poorly written Spotify ads advertising Spotify Premium and you understand why it's not providing a good out-of-the-box experience. Since we are a busy office, the time we've invested to get this to work has cost us several times over the cost of this item. We do not recommend. Pros The volume buttons work.

    Works well, and allows integration with other smart home devices. Can run into technical issues sometimes which is the reason for 4*

    I got the coral one and it’s beautiful. It’s loud and easy to you use I would recommend getting one. The only problem is that it has to stay connected to an outlet for it to work.
