    I have both the Google Home Mini and the Amazon Echo Dot. I think the mini is better, more user friendly, more interactive, and it looks better. Besides, it's on sale now.

    It's great for controlling any smart home items and for casting Netflix and YouTube to your smart TV. Biggest complaint is the phrases can sometimes be very specific or long resulting in having to try multiple times to get what you want to happen

    I was an apple fan for a very long time, but recently switched to Google phone for the superior camera. My cousin had multiple Google homes and I loves the ease of them so I bought a couple of my own and I am not disappointed! I bought lights so go with them so I can voice command when to turn on and off the lights, any Google to play my music. I just love them and the ease of use.

    Great little gadget! I love how it works great with Spotify and chrome cast. If you like the echo dot you'll love this too since it can do a little more. Highly recommend

    This technology is so fun! We started with 2, but have purchased 2 more (plus the home station). We listen to music throughout the whole house using pandora, ask google questions about any random thing that pops into our heads, and broadcast messages throughout the house to call the kids to dinner or whatever. The draw on our WiFi was a bit much so we had to upgrade - but it’s well worth it!

    We have the mini and home and love them. The mini is setup in our kitchen and it's great to call out radio stations or stream music from our library while cooking or cleaning up. Sound is decent and meets our expectations from such a small device. My wife and I share a shopping list on Google Express on our iPhones and it's very convenient to throw items on the mini. Setting kitchen timers are now simple even with wet hands. I wish the microphones were little better as we occasionally have to repeat a request. Overall though happy with purchase.

    I love my google home, that said, I also have an Amazon Echo and plan on getting an Apple HomePod. For me, it’s disappointing that I have to have these three to communicate with the smart home products I have, just wish they all could get along!

    Maybe it's a preference thing?

    Right off let me say all the AI systems are cool. I have two of these Mini's. I like my two Alexa dots better, but it may be just a subjective preference thing. If you are a really committed Google app user already it may be an awesome platform for you, but I am not a die hard Google person and I got my echo dots first. I think it depends a lot on what you are going to use it for. My best advice is get one of each to try, keep your receipt and return the AI you don't get along with as well, I ended up keeping both AI, but kinda wish I hadn't. One big difference is that unlike the Alexa dot, the Mini lacks any output jack to cable it to external speakers or a stereo. Ugh!!! Any of those connections have to be wireless which cuts out use with any if my older existing audio stuff. I guess they assume you are going to use BT external speakers. Not an issue if you have them already, I guess, but Alexa can use them too so not an advantage over the other. The Google AI just doesn't seem to be quite as smooth or accurate along with something I just can't quite put my finger on. It could be a problem with this end user, and it doesn't help that I seem to always say "Alexa,,,,oh, oops, OK Google" but at basically the same price point I think I should have said "Alexa---return my mini" .

    I’m sure it’ll be nice once properly set up, but I have been running into issues with the program I have linked to it and making certain programs defaults. The menu in the app home seems to be lacking tabs that I need to designate these choices.

    Bought this to add to my apartment in addition to the regular size Google Home. I keep it in my bedroom to control to shoot sound/video on my chromecast. Love it to bits!

    Not sure if it is my wifi router or Google software, but it can be a bit finicky some times. Had to change to non-5G to stop disconnects but this is more of an issue with my router. Speaker doesnt sound all that great but that is expected considering the price. Otherwise, I am happy with the 2 that i have. Love that they can be setup to play in sync with other google speakers and products. Just really makes life a bit easier with reminders, alarms, controlling my other smart products, and just keeping me on time and on task.
