    I didn't think I would have this much fun! I bought it to try and see what a world with a smart home would be like. I would just get one just for the entertainment value! I am going to go and get a couple more.

    I had bought a charcoal colored Google Home Mini on Black Friday and saw the white color while walking out the door. After being very impressed by my first one I went back and got the white one for the kitchen.

    We have had this google mini installed in our kitchen. Firstly to set the google mini you need to download the google home app and follow the setup instructions, this is common of many electrical products. The set up did seem to take a long time but this could of been down to my internet connectivity rather than the app itself. The google mini needs to be plugged in at all times, It would of been nice if the cable colour matched the device to blend it in more as the white cable stands out on our black worktops and the actual plug is bulky but this is personal preference and doesn't affect the product. We have been very impressed with the google minis 'understanding' it never fails to answer or perform the task requested regardless of who has asked it, woman, man, or child. As a speaker I don't think the sound quality is as good as other speakers on the market but that said other speakers don't remind you to make a packed lunch or tell you how long to cook roast parsnips for. We haven't got Spotify or googleplay which are the main music platforms supported by the voice activation but it is simple to pair your phone or table via Bluetooth to play music. You can request it plays radio stations for you without the need for a secondary device nearby if you don't use the above mentioned platforms. There is so much this device can do and we haven't even begun to fully utilise it yet, what we have done is; -Stored shopping lists on it so when you've got dirty hands cooking and use the last of something you can add it to the shopping list straight away without forgetting - Kitchen timer, you can ask it how long is left on the timer too - New and weather updates specific to you're local area or wherever else you request - Recipes - Radio - TImer My 9 year old has particularly enjoyed some of the fun features like beat boxing, trivia games and getting the answer to his maths homework. This is a fun family gadget.

    Works pretty well but could be improved

    Does what it should do. If you use google assistant on your phone, you should know it is pretty help. But, couple things that it could be improved: 1) you can use your phone's assistant to ask it send messages to people, but you can't on this (unless you install IFTTT on your phone and that doesn't work as well as the phone's assistant); 2) now that I have both the phone and google home, sometimes it gets confusing. I want to talk to my phone to set an alarm, but it sets it on the home device. Now, I wake up in the bedroom and need to turn off my alarm, I need to go to the living room to turn off on the home device.

    All of these devices are pretty slick and the AI and IoT is pretty amazing. Chose the google device simply because of my positive experience with chrome cast vs fire stick. Decided to stick with google on it.

    Sounds better than the previous gen echo dots, better at answering simple questions than Alexa, but harder to setup smarthome devices also. So So.

    We use Alexa throughout our house, but I am a Google fan, so I thought I would try this in my studio...while the voice recognition and fluidity of interaction is nice, the unit does not offer quite as much performance as the Echo Dot.
