I think its a fun piece of tech to add to the house. I have chalk in the bathroom and charcoal hidden on some black furniture and are very unassuming. They pump out music linked with all your streaming services at a great quality. Very responsive. Also love that they activate my smart lights and can do most of the things of the lights parent applications.

I have a mini in each bedroom and some less occupied rooms. They are great for issuing commands around the house. Function great as a homegroup to play music or podcasts throughout the house. The volume could be a bit better, but I guess that's why they make the Max or the Regular Home speaker.

Product worked but I never figured out why it was needed. Unplugged it one day after a few months use and no one in the house noticed so it turns out no one was using it. Would still be interested to see all the recordings that were collected by the support people.

Its a nice gadget for hte Price paid.
pros: small, low power, very good volumen for its size, very easy to setup with IOS, not so with Android.
cons: Only supports English, perhaps Google will update to support other languages. sometimes disconnects from the linked devices.
Overall good for the Price paid, hope in some near future support other languages.

I love how it controls my TV when it's hooked up to a chrome cast. If you Can't find the remote just ask Google to play a certain movie or show and it'll play it right on your TV. Of course just like Alexa it'll answer questions or play your music.

Google home mini works great with Insteon automation. Much better than Alexa. I have both and the positive with Google Home is it’s ability to turn on and off multiple lights and control more than one automated systems. Alexa is not able to run scenes, Google can. Alexa was a little better at controlling the Harmony Hub, but I typically use a remote anyway.
