    Cool little speaker, a lot of sound from it for being little probably comparable to the Echo Dot, similar to Alexa. Just have to say Hey Google , and tell it what you want

    I have a Jibo, Echo Dot, and this mini and feel that the mini is probably a bit better than the Dot in most areas. Obviously, the mini can't help me order goods from Amazon but I did like the fact that the mini was able to do a things that the Dot can't...and at most times more accurate than the Dot.

    What fun this is to have. The great thing about this is it will network with the Google Home. You can create a network of these speakers throughout your home or office to have music throughout. Could not be happier.

    I grabbed 2 of these to put in the bedroom and the office and move the bigger home to the living room. Got them around black Friday for $25 each. The sound out of the mini is ok for alarms and interacting with the Google assistant but music will leave you wanting a bit more. For the sale price they're not bad, I have a few smart outlets I control with them and they work great for that. Just pair them up with a Bluetooth speaker if you plan on using them for music often.

    Much faster than looking questions up on phone or computer. Love the home automation connectivity. I had an Echo dot before, I have removed her from my automation and have had no problems since switching to google.

    I had high hopes for this assistant. However had a hard time to sync with my other devices. google claims its very easy to sync. Cannot connect to any bluetooth speaker. Even had a hard time connecting to my LG speakers (with cast built in)

    Awesome help but has wifi connection issues

    I put my Mini in the kitchen, and it's been a great help. I also have the Google Home main unit, and it's really helped to have the Mini so I don't have to yell in hopes that the Home will hear me ask it a question or set a timer. Connecting it with the pre-existing Home was super easy. It gets great sound and is usually really fast. It's had some wifi connection issues since day 1, but I suspect this is because the kitchen is distant from my modem & there are walls to interrupt the signal. Lately there's been some data package issues with all Google Home devices that makes your wifi shut down, so my Homes are pretty useless right now until Google releases a fix.

    Connected the whole I house One on each floor. It serves as a way to communicate throughout the house and change music playing by telling it to move to another google mini so that you don't have to carry a speaker

    TBH I returned this unit because it would never connect to my Hue bridge. I reached out to a support tech and found out it was a known issue and they were working on a bug fix for it and would let me know when it was released. I ended up returning the unit but never heard about the bug fix. I have since then purchased another one and it worked great with all of my smart devices. I actually prefer using it over using HomeKit with Siri. My son loves talking to google too!

    Best for android users. I do not like Amazon for more than an online marketplace (so I do not want Alexa products). On computers, google is a trusted search engine, and a lot of android phone users already use Google's Chrome to browse the internet. The device answers questions fast (incredibly so!). Can set alarms and listen to music (not a lot of bass reproduction). We have multiples in our house and love the functionality. I cannot wait to expand my home automation.

    I think that the Google mini is actually better than our Google Home. We purchased enough minis for throughout our hone and even to give as gifts. The price is reasonable and I like that they can make phone calls.

    This thing is like having your own personal assistant. You can ask it just about anything and it knows how to Answer. It even has fun games and trivia that you can play with family and friends. It's kind of weird though if left on, it just kind of sits there listening to all your conversations while learning about you lol. So don't be surprised if you ask it something in the presence of someone else and you get busted for something you said in a private conversation... ijs
