    This small version of Google Home is great for areas like an office or other small area. It's also inconspicuous.

    This was fun and easy to get started. Hard to connect to iPhone calendar but other than that it’s a good product.

    The sound quality is great on this little booger. The voice recognition is amazing as well. I can be 1 room over and google hears me with no shouting. Easy adjustment touching on the sides of you don’t feel like asking google to turn it up or down. I would recommend this to anyone.

    I paid $30 for the Mini and got a $10 Best Buy gift card, setting the total cost at $20. That being said, I believe that the Google Home is definitely worth what I spent. It's handy to have near the kitchen so that I can set timers and have it read me recipes while cooking. It also works great as an external speaker when I connect my phone or laptop to it via bluetooth in order to play music, or when I want to listen to some music on Spotify while doing dishes. Also, when I notice that I am running low on something around the house, I can ask it to add the item to my shopping list so that I won't forget when I'm at the store.

    I had an echo dot, not impressed with music quality. Bought the Google home mini to compare. I like the music sound much better.

    Google smart phone speaker

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

    This product works very well with existing Google prouducts such as Android phones, tablets, and even iOS devices. The setup is simple and very easy. I usually as Google different questions to answers and it finds them without any issue. I have Google Play Music linked to it also and my music plays right thru the speaker. For $25/$30, you can't beat it. But I personally wouldn't pay more than that for it.

    Not better than echo dot.

    Many people compare Google Home Mini with Echo Dot. Here is my opinion. I have both. And I'm gonna keep both. Because they both serve different purpose. I'm using Echo to listen to the music using external Bluetooth speaker and to control my smart home devices. Google is good answering questiond. Because it's Google. In my opinion Google screwed up two things. First, inability to connect to external speaker without any additional hardware like Chromecast. We can admit that speakers on both Echo Dot and Google Home Mini suck. And second, inability to change the wake word on Home Mini. Because sometime I want to say `Hi Google` just to my phone but Home Mini also answers the call. That a little bit frustrating. All those problems are fixable with a simple software update. I'm not sure if Google is going to do it.

    I hesitated for a long time buying one but when it went on sale I had to get it at half price. The speaker is small but has a great sound, much better than I had expected. The assistant is very handy and quite helpful. I'm still exploring its other qualities but so far I am very happy with it.
