I just love this, I tell everyone it’s the best radio I ever had! You can listen to music, ask questions. It will tell you the weather. Just a great gadget to have. So many things to do with it. Set an alarm. Ask it to remind you of something. It’s great!

When I bought this speaker, I was not sure what should I expect from this and it was bought as toy which can be connected using Google Home. What I really liked about this is, it is in continuous learning mode and getting better and better day by day.

I find it interesting we can adapt to new things... Who thought we'd be talking to our homes. Once you learn the vernacular google can actually help with nearly anything. Turning on/off lights, appliances, control TV's and satellite control. Intercom, play music streaming movies and video to the TV or even reading the bible, all these in one room or broadcast to all rooms.

Smartest assistant out right now. This specific device has some trouble picking up the ‘hey google’ so I want to try an upgraded version like the home screened device recently released. Sound is loud and sounds pretty good but not as strong quality as a higher end Bluetooth speaker.

It's good for extending the range of my Google Home, but Google still has a long way to go on features. Sometimes trying to play to a home group only results in playing to this or my Google Home instead of the group. It's very frustrating since I can't remotely control the playlist or output of either device so I have to stop playing and that loses my spot in the playlist.

My wife's Echo seems to accept a lot more command and you can talk normally to it. This you have to pause after saying Hey Google. It sounds really good but won't play the stations I ask for on Google Play Music even though I'm reading the station from my phone.

A very nifty device. I find it works quite well in my home. You will notice some issues with commands if there are background noises or you are not within a clear line of the device. Another thing to note is that if you are listening to music on the device it may have trouble hearing your commands to pause, stop, or adjust the volume.

We have numerous "smart home" devices, including another voice assistant system in almost every room, but wanted a source to query Google's search engine. We placed this mini unobtrusively in our kitchen and it has served that purpose well.
