    This speaker has good quality volume. I have both the Home and Mini, and the sound is almost similar. The only thing, I live in an apt and have one in the kitchen and one in the room, and when I am cooking and ask questions the room speaker is the one that answers.

    For its size, this device is pretty loud and clear. This is my second one, as I've had another in my kitchen for over a year. One complaint is that it's not as accurate as the larger Google Home at understanding my requests.

    This was easy to setup with my account. It learned my voice with no problem. Good sound for small it is, it's nice that it can be grouped with other minis and a Google Home. Listen well.

    Really love this product. I can even turn on my t.v. with my voice. I am able to ask these like, “Ok Google, stream New Girl on Livingroom T.V.” It does it without an issue! Very pleased!

    This cute little one does all the jobs but for me, it is a add-on assistance to google home. If you do not have the preference to listen to music then this will fulfill the purpose.

    Just got a Google mini along with a Google home and I can’t tell you how easy it was to set up and link them to my Spotify. Just ask it to play a certain playlist or artist radio and you’re set. As a person who loves background noise I absolutely recommend it.

    Its nice to have for simple things like turning on and off lights, outlets, and smart devices. Sometimes it'll mistakenly go off if it thinks you said "ok google" and it's not very good at doing multiple commands at once.

    I purchased several of these along with smart bulbs when I had my baby so that I could turn the lights on and off by voice/ app without having to get up and wake the baby if he was asleep in my arms. Since then we have added more smart home products that are compatible with the speakers. The sound quality is pretty good for how small these are. I have several around the house and am able to group them together to play music in "surround sound". Another feature I really like is being able to broadcast a message, I often use it while in the car to tell my husband I'm outside if I need help carrying anything inside. I also like they Google is constantly adding new features as well. We use these daily to control lights, play music, pause the tv, get the weather, and play white noise at bedtime.

    It's ok but prefer the Echo Dot

    It's definitely lacking the ability to connect to bluetooth speakers and there is no 3.5 mm audio jack. The Echo Dot since version one had these features. However, don't discount the Google Home mini. What it lacks in features, it gains in great responses from Google Assistant. A lot of times it would answer questions Alexa wouldn't know. The speaker is loud and the mic picks up my voice across the room easily. The touch controls are decent but physical controls would of been much better. Granted I got this with a deal (free via buying Tile Pro), I do enjoy it. It also doesn't have as many apps/skills compared to Alexa, but an ok option if you are all in with Google. Wait for a sale or a free deal.

    The Google Home mini was our first try at these types of home tech. I thought it would struggle with me slurring my words or my wife's southern accent but it has yet to make any mistakes.

    My husband bought this for me for my birthday. It’s very responsive. I love being able to listen to whatever music I want within seconds! Plus, it’s pretty small (will easily fit in one hand) so it doesn’t take up a lot of space in my bedroom!

    I wanted a way to listen to my favorite radio stations across the country when I'm in my 2nd home, where the stations are weird. Works great. I'd also like to use it as a clock radio, but haven't figured out how to make it understand what I want.
