Bought 2 to use an intercom - no go :(

After reading many reviews that stated these could be used as an intercom I purchased two for specifically that purpose. It turned out that you can only do a 'broadcast' - i.e. a one way announcement. I returned them the same day they arrived. Too bad . . . Waiting for them to work two way . . .

It is so nice to be able to grt a decent answer to a question on the spur of moment. I don't like having to say, OK Google for it to wake up. I like my Amazon Dot better since it is just Alexa and it wakes up. I don't think Home Mini is as good as the Alexa Dot in understanding the questions and providing decent answer. I like the Dot better.

Ok, I was honestly against getting one of these. I thought it would be a waste and I would never use it...I was wrong. I have been using my google home religiously and loving every moment of it. I have even purchased more items to sync up with it. Best purchase ever.

Got the Google Mini free with my security camera system so I couldn't beat the price. I already have a Google Home in the kitchen and adding this one upstairs is very handy. It works great for verbal Google searches. Easy to turn the mic off and on with the side switch.

I love this system so much more than the competition. You plug it in, go to the app, and complete a few questions.
You add whatever apps you want like Spotify, the news, weather, your WiFi locks, WiFi lightbulbs, the nest thermostat and so many others.

Own a full size Google Home and need a Bluetooth for other parts of the house. This was the best way to go.

My 81 year old mom wanted a basic radio so I got her a google home hoping she’d take to using it to play music in the kitchen. Within days she was saying it would be nice to be able to use it in the living room so I got her the mini as well. She loves it!

I had no idea what to do with an assistant speaker before I got this.
You slowly grow into your role as you find out little by little what more it can do.
I use it as an alarm clock more than anything as well as a clock and to receive weather updates.
