Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a full sized google home in the kitchen, and I got this little guy for my bed side table. The look of it is sleek, and it works exactly like the big one does. The speaker isn’t as good as the big one, but it’s a quarter of the size, so that’s understandable. What I’m not happy about is the defect on the top touch pad of the device. One of the main pieces of functionality of this tech is to be able to touch the top of the device to pause, play, stop alarms, and generally interact. From the research I’ve done, before these even released, when they were giving a few out to lucky winners as promos, there was an issue with a “ghost touch.” It was causing the google to think that the top was being touched, so you’d have it saying weird things to you all day, and pretty much listening to you all day. From what I’ve read online, there were not a lot of people affected by this defect, but google went ahead with the launch instead of recalling the affected devices. They then issued a software update for ALL users that completely disabled the ability to use the top as an interaction button (you can still tap on either side to change the volume). This forces the user to use all voice commands to interact with the device. Which can be a pain in the butt sometimes. So the first day I got this product, I set it as my alarm clock, and you can imagine what I looked like at 6 am, trying to beat this thing until it turned off. I finally had to use voice control to get it turned off. But I was used to my full sized google home and I was expecting it to turn off when I touched the top pad. I’ve heard word that they might recall all of these devices, but I really hope not. Outside of that, it’s great. I just really hope google figures out something soon.

The Google Home mini is awesome, especially at $29. It does everything the Google Home does.

This worked just as well as Siri on the phone. It is compact and always ready. I connected it via a magnetic mount on the wall and is handy to check traffic and weather before leaving home to work. Excellent quality. No issues so far

The speaker is loud for the form factor and is a good start for building a smart home. The only feature missing is the Bluetooth speaker connectivity.

Super fun to use, easy to install and set up will be getting more and for the pcofr worth it

I have started using my Google mini while working out. It is great to skip ahead with music.

I purchased this to add to my remote system I designed for my home theater a work in progress and this will supplement that with voice control as well

I got this Google Home Mini to control some lights and music. I like it a lot. Now I can control the lights and switch on the music by using my voice!

The speaker has good quality for its size and price. (Especially at the discounted $29.). It is able to answer questions by searching the internet with a lot more success than the Echo. On the other hand, the Echo supports a lot more smart devices and services.

Been using the original Google Home since launch, the Google Home mini is a very nice addition to the Google Home family. The device is very nicely designed with surprisingly good sound quality consider the size of Google Home Mini. Would definitely recommend Mini to anyone.

I love my Google because it is so cool I like it more than the Amazon Echo dot..............

This is a great speaker and useful for all members of our family. Would highly recommend it.

I bought this item to experience Google Assistant as a dedicated device for my home. Sound quality is substantial and Google's responses are fairly adequate. It controls my lights and chromecast connected to my TV. Anytime I want to watch something on Netflix, Youtube or Youtube TV, I'll tell Google to set it up for me. I even set up timers for cooking, which has been surprisingly helpful. I even inform Google Home Mini to wake me up for naps in which it has been handy as well. The only thing that irks me is the learning curve of what other things that I can tell Google Assistant to do. If I try something new to say, I usually get "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that yet." I had to go online to find what other commands or feedback Google Assistant can respond to. By the way, if the sound volume is way too high and it's playing music, you would need talk louder or probably scream at Google to hear you for the next request / command. Other than that, it works fairly well.

I have the Google Home and love it, bought these to link and play music throughout the house

The Mini Google Home is easy for beginners. Downloading the app and getting started is easy!

Google worked great. Best Buy gift card on the other hand I’ve been told has no funds on it.

Fantastic does what I ask and more plays Netflix and YouTube on my tv's and music everywhere

This Google home mini was easy to set up. The sound clarity and quality are both good. My family has both Google home and Amazon Alexa smart speakers. I prefer the Google home mini to the Alexa Dot. The range of questions that it can answer is much better than Amazon Alexa.

I use this device for home automation and to play music, don't let the size fool you, it has good sound and gets louder than I would ever want it. I use it with Phillips hue, Chromecast, a Honeywell thermostat and an August smart lock. You won't regret this purchase at all.

I love google products, we got this to go with our google home. I like that it sounds great.
