This is my 2nd google home. It is nice and compact and can fit in any space. The speaker has different volume settings and music still plays well.

If you want to get your feet wet in the smart home craze this isn't a bad way to do it. Chances are you'll unknowingly already have devices or components around your house that are smart home capable and the Google home mini just kind of helps tie it all together. We got ours when they were on sale for 29.99 so it was a great deal as well. Ended up buy some extra ones for family. They seem to enjoy it also.
If there is a problem I have with it, it would be that you have to think about what you want to say before you say "hey google" otherwise youll keep trying to figure out how to word what you want it to do (if that makes sense). You learn and/or get used to it after a little bit though and is handy when you have random questions or thoughts you want an answer to.

I truly love my google mini. She cracks me up when I ask her random questions. I do wish she could learn more things to do because I do sometimes get frustrated when i ask something I am thinking she should be able to do.

I actually have got 6 of these now. They work great together or on their own. Be aware that they don't have the volume set the same out of the box. After installing two brand new ones the volume coming out of them was clearly lower (I used Sound Meter app to check the db level) so I thought it was broken, when it was really just the sound level needed to be adjusted. If you have a large music library you can load it int Google Play Music and stream it. You can setup multiple groups with them such us upstairs, downstairs, whole house. I haven't connected with other smart home devices except Nest Thermostat E, but that was a simple process and it works great.
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is there's no aux port to connect it to a stereo system, which Alexa has.
