Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super cheap when it was on sale. Definitely worth it, particularly as a companion to the bigger Google home

Just as great at the regular Google home just at a very affordable price, was honestly surprised

Don’t listen to the high star reviews!! My mother had this for years, she then later gave it to me and when I ask it to play music it stops/crashes on its own. Resetting the device several times doesn’t resolve it. Moving to another house it still causes the issue. I asked my mom if she dropped it and she said she didn’t. This is basically a cheap piece of junk to be avoided at all costs. I might either throw it away or just donate it.

Excellent! This product is awesome, is small and nice

Pretty good I like this one cuz it’s cheaper. And it does exactly what the big one does.

I was very excited to use my Google Home Mini, unfortunately the product is not supported with wifi networks that require you to log in with a username and password. Third party wifi networks are common in apartments, dorms, group homes, retirement communities, and many other semi-group living situations. When I asked for help from the Google Store chat room I was told that "the Google Home is only marketed to be used in a Home", as though my apartment is not considered home to me. I was then told that I could use my Google home to ask any other questions I have, however I could not do this because I could not connect to my wifi. I have no idea if I would have liked the product or not, but I was not impressed with this issue or the poor customer service I received. Additionally, this maladaptive issue is not very apparent in marketing or anywhere before you have purchased the device and are actually trying to log in to it. You would think that a company as large and advanced as Google would be able to allow their device to log into a third party wifi, just as Amazon and Roku already are able to do.

I recommend the product for purchase. Easy to use.

switched from an Echo to this since our entire house is google based. While the assistant works fine and responds to things even in loud rooms, I'm disappointed by some command limitations around music. There has been a problem for some time now on not only shuffling music, but even using one's own library instead of a radio station. I'm sad to say its no better here even with custom shortcut commands. Playing a playlist or just my library as a whole shouldn't default to a push for paid radio subscriptions or require two separate commands to access my music only, then shuffle it.

Worth every Penny.... I love this. It is so useful and even sings my kids a lullaby at bedtime

should have built in recharge battery. This is not a bluetooth speaker download apps and bluetooth to the phone inorder to work play music from list.

Exactly what you'd expect from Google - great little home smart speaker.

Good product sound quality is very good... Just talk to your product

One of our Nest Minis keeps unlinking from my Google account. Every day, sometimes multiple times per day, we (myself and the other person in my Google Home) get a notification saying one of us has unlinked the Nest Mini from our account, but neither of us did. "xxx@gmail.com unlinked Living Room speaker from your home" Once that happens, the only response the Mini will give is "Please login through the Google Home app" We'll re-link the Mini to our account through the Google Home app, but within 12-24 hours it will automatically unlink itself again. We have already... - Rebooted the Mini - Rebooted our WiFi - Factory reset the Mini - Factory reset every Mini/Chromecast in our house - Completely deleted our entire Google Home and set it up from scratch ...but it is still unlinking itself. We have two other Nest Minis in the house and they work perfectly. Only this one in our Living Room is having this issue. The one disconnects is bought at Best Buy

The stand alone music sound quality is better. That is the only plus. Wi-Fi receiver is far weaker at the same place in the house on same network as a Amazon Echo Dot. Drops Wi-Fi a lot. That included info and streaming music. Does not have ablity to hook up to a bigger better speaker without Chromecast. The Dot can hook up to any Bluetooth speaker. takes twice as long to answer questions and the touch control system is not accurate due to the cloth covering the top of the unit on the Google. That colth is likely to be short lived to if you actually control it with touch. Stick with voice commands. I will take the Amazon Echo Dot anyday

So I got the alexa as a gift. I used it for about two months. But realizing that I own google products than any Amazon, I decided to switch. It was the right call. Everything that I have it is linked and although my cell and my speaker answer individually when I ask 'ok google' I believe it's just a matter of tweaking the settings. Volume it's ok, response sometimes takes more than one 'ok google' but overall it works for me.

My son bought one. We got it home and set it up. At first it would not recognize his voice. Then when it did, it told him to download the app, which he already did. I downloaded it on my phone too. We tried resetting the mini, but the phones would not recognize it even though there were right next to it, and yes bluetooth was on both phones. This thing is worthless.

I love this device keeps me frm being lonely. Love to schedule alarms by voice

Have a couple around the house to use for questions, to hear my Nest Doorbell ring, use for a alarm clock to wake me up in the morning and to control other smart features that I have and to play music!

This device sucks in comparison to the echo. There is no way to control who has access to the device. So as a college student it is useless to me, and parents won’t be able to control if kids mess with speakers all over the house. It also requires chrome audio cast to use a better speaker, adding another $35 to get closer to what the echo already has built into it. I do not recommend this device. Buy the dot, it is much more worth the price tag.

Easy to use and links with other Google devices...
