    If ever u need fast facts, music, ETAs, or anything of the sort without lifting a finger, the google home works. Great. Just try not to mumble, and go in with low and PG expectations at first until you set it up properly. I just wish I could change the wake up phrase from something besides 'ok/hey google".

    Google Home Mini is a versatile miniature rendition of Google Home with a smaller, yet surprisingly good sounding speaker. Similar to it's larger sibling, simply call out "OK Google" or "Hey Google" and speak your request.

    Good build quality, good materials, honestly did not know it had lights on the top when I got it (...free with another purchase). Started playing with it, I think it sounds better than the taller Google Home device. Cool device.

    I really loved the Google Home mini speaker, its easy to hook up and it recognized each individual voice. Me and my wife, we both have our accounts sync to the google home and when we speak it recognize our voice and say Hello with our names.

    I picked this up to try it since the price was so low during the holidays. I’m glad I didn’t listen to the naysayers who poopooed the speaker. The sound fills the room just fine. If you’re looking for Dolby Surround, look elsewhere.

    I'm a big fan of the "internet of things" and this is a handly little device. I have 2 full size Google Homes, 2 of these, and 2 Amazon Echoes (both generations.) I wish Google would allow developers to create "skills" the way Amazon does with the Echo. But this is inexpensive and does a lot of what I want it to do.

    After having an Amazon echo I have switched all of my devices over to Google. Their devices are much smarter than Alexa.

    Great alarm clock

    Some people have had issues with their google home as an alarm clock, but it has worked great for me. In addition, I can turn off the lights when I am in bed and get weather information, which is all very great. It has difficulty understanding people who speak quickly, but that is not an issue for me.

    Same features as the larger Google home, just lower inn sound for both receiving and delivering. Worth the price though.

    I find myself getting lazier and lazier when I can ask the mini on my desk (or by my bed or in the kitchen...) to do quick math calculations or set countdown timers or tell me about the weather. They just work.

    We already had a Google Home, and wanted something smaller for our bedroom. I was told that the sound quality would not be as good. This is not the case. Maybe it's just my old ears, but I find the sound quality more than adequate.

    If you want to use google home in your home comfortable, I would like to recommend you to buy many of them in your every room. Otherwise, the apple HomeKit is better than google home, especially you have the HomePod.

    I now have two of these and got them for 29.99 at best buy. I love best buy products. This was easy to set up and control from my smart phone. It took maybe two times to get it to work, but since then I've been hearing music in my home. Love this smart speaker.
