Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great device for playing music that doesn't need a lot of base. It is probably the best smart speaker on the market, if you are in the Google ecosystem. Get the Max if you want base or the Google Home standard for a music step up. I use the mini as tweeters, the Home as mids, and the Max as the base.

I haven't explored enough capabilities yet. It will require adding more products to make it really helpful. Probably have most of the same capability already on my smartphone.

I first got the Google Home Mini as a gift for my husband. But after seeing what it could do, we went out and bought a second one for me to use. I love how easy it was to setup. I mostly use it to listen to music on Spotify, set timers, and check the weather. All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase.

alongside my google home the mini is a great addition to my smart home having one in the living room and kitchen is the best I can ask for cooking instructions or ask it to turn my lights on/off ask it useful information have it remind me my schedule and let's not forget all the great easter eggs it comes with

An excellent accessory to accompany the larger Google home, makes audio throughout my place simple and convenient

Most of it's answers come from Wikipedia, but it has answers where as my amazon just says I cant help, home automation works well but it has trouble hear you in crowded rooms.

It's good for simple questions, weather and adding to my calendar. I probably just need to explore it more. But my kids like to ask it questions on homework and to tell jokes.

Love this thing in have it set upmwith my samsung smart things hub and it does it all turns stuff on and off tells me about my day, traffic and weather, news, plays some games

I have the original Home and this mini version is almost as good. The only real drawback is speaker quality due to smaller size. I got it for 30 bucks so it was well worth it.

Pros: Very interactive and quick search answers. Cons: Sometimes has trouble following sequential instructions. Still to test: Smart thermostat, smart bulb, smart plugs.

I have amazon echos and dots around my house and an iPhone and iPad so I wanted to try out google's assistant. The google assistant is a bit easier to work with than alexa and definitely behind apple's siri. But according to my research, google is always listening and sending everything to the 'cloud'. Amazon is always listening but will only send what it hears after you say your key word ('alexa', etc). Apple will only process what you say to it and send the translated information to the 'cloud' (I ask 'what is the weather?', it sends 'weather request' to the server, no recordings, nothing I say is stored on the device). But there is no way apple will sell me a home pod for $500. I'll probably stick with my echos and dots I probably spent less than $500 altogether that are in every room of the house now. Google home seems interesting but the privacy concerns don't make me want to replace the amazon devices I already have.

I purchased this to try out Google Home, without spending a lot of money. It works and sets up simply, however some of the things Google Home claims it does have not worked perfectly. I can activate my smart lighting through my Smartthings hub, but doing things like turning on household TV's has been a bust so far. Overall a great way to get introduced to the world of Google Home, without making a huge investment.

Great Bluetooth speaker and personal assistant. Impressive. It even calls your mobile so you don’t have to search

I have two of these in my apartment and really love them. I use them for Home automation (Hue Light, Ecobee, etc) and also for playing music together via Spotify. You also can ask them general questions like a audible Google search. I got one for each member of my family for Christmas and they love them.

This is my second Google mini. I purchased this one for my bedroom so I can control my lights and play music. It's been a wonderful addition to this space. Can even set morning alarms and countless other commands. The multi room playback option works is perfect for creating the mood throughout the house.

I gave this one away as a gift since I already had the Google Home Screen and an Amazon Dot. The person that I gifted this to still uses it and it works, It is small so it is not visible. It can be placed neatly on a shelf without having the clutter.

I can't live without it period. Synced it up with all my smart devices as well as my google account so it knows my work route in the mornings, google calendar, and anything in between. Honestly I think either this or amazon echo work the same I just prefer google since most of my mom is google.

I have both the Amazon Dot and Google Home. Both are good but like the information I can get from Google better.

Put this one in my room and its so cool. though, it sometimes doesn't pick up my voice if its playing loud music

idk what i would do without it ,its nice to get reminders for appointments...ect. or just to ask it questions. its very quick to give an answer. so much you can do with this.
