I love my Google Home Mini. I have half of my house automated with it with smart plugs and suck. Get it while you still can!

Nice addition to add on to your Google Home. Small doesn't take up much space and great music sound from such a small device

I have a full size google home and ordered this one for the bedroom. It’s the perfect addition to my home automation lineup.

The sound quality beats the echo and the dot by far! Love how Google pics up ones voice from the other side of a room. Nice!

It’s a great value! Google is usually pretty good at understanding you and it works best if you have them in multiple rooms.

Good product, but it won’t make me leave the Echo

Let me start by saying that I have a number of Alexa devices, including 3 of the 1st gen Echo, and couple of 1st gen of the Dot, a couple of 2d gen Dot, and a Spot. I’ve been pretty happy with them as we’ve built our Smart Home capabilities, but was interested in trying out the Google Home Mini after getting a recommendation from someone in the family. When the right sale price came along, we took the opportunity to pick one up at Best Buy.
The Google Home Mini is an attractive, small smart speaker; it is really much nicer looking than both the 1st and 2d gen Echo Dot (I don’t have a 3d gen, so can’t do a side-by-side). It is very responsive; in fact, I’d say it is slightly more responsive than any of the Echo products. It “speaks” clearly, but I think the voice sounds a little more artificial than that of the Echo. In the “smarts” department, I haven’t asked it anything it stumbled over yet. I wouldn’t recommend it as a primary means to listen to music, but then I don’t find playing music on the Echo devices to be very appealing, either. They’re both fine for short periods of listening.
Overall, I’m glad to have had the opportunity to try the Google Home Mini, but I don’t find enough value added to want to abandon our Echo devices. Honestly, if Google had been first out of the gate with a smart speaker, I would probably feel the same way about abandoning their products. It’s good to have choices, and I think you just have to decide which “universe” you’re most comfortable in - Google’s or Amazon’s. I don’t think you can go wrong with either at this point.

Setup was easy. Just plug it on and open the google home app. Easy setup from there. You can link multiple accounts to this device.. There is so much you can do with this device. The sound of the speaker is surprisingly good for how small it is. I can be more then 50 feet away and will hear me when I ask for assistance.

This is my 2nd Home Mini and I love it. It is great, and sets up immediately with the rest of my devices (including 2 regular Google Homes and a Pixelbook and a Pixel3). When I use voice commands, all of the devices triangulate my request and only the closest 1 answers to me, which I think is pretty smart.

I have these little guys all over my home and they provide good sound for the price. The only negative that I have is that the speaker will not here you when the volume is all the way up.

For $29 you get to have a small little device to have connected in your home. Definitely can't go wrong with this purchase.

This product works great. I can get traffic info, check on the weather & best of all I can control my Roomba with my voice.
