    Overall I like this for the price. The speaker sound is ok, but I wouldn’t listen to music all the time on it. It’s more of a neat toy. This is better overall if you have smart home accessories (lights, thermostat, etc.). If you’re not too concerned about sound quality, and/or if you have smart home miscellany, this is pretty good.

    Got this for my grandma so that we could like this with her phone to help her keep track of her appointments and other things going on in her life. She loves it since she can ask it random questions through out the day.

    Great unit. Very happy with it. It helps to first go on the Google Home store or Google play and download as many free apps as possible. Weather, sports, music, location events, etc. Play around with it. It will not break.

    Bought this as my first voice assistant device. I have never used Siri on my iPhone but i find myself using google for many little tasks and questions. Smart tv controls are great for playing videos for the kids without needing to track down the remote.

    Nearly Expired

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The ink would have been fine if I planned to use it immediately. However, it was set to expire in two months so I returned it. Bestbuy must not sell much of this ink to have a product that is nearly expired on the shelf. I ordered directly from Brother and it had an expiration in two years. So, I could safely put this on the shelf to use as needed.

    I own both Amazon and Google products. The Google Home mini looks great, but it's too hard to see the top LED lights. Also, Alexa just performed better. Also, no blue tooth out is a deal breaker, requires chromecast audio. If you are just using it as a stand-alone device it's fine.

    The TV, radio or other people don’t cause the mini to respond unless I tell it too. I like the “hey” so that my phone isn’t responding to “ok” google. Still learning how much the mini can do. Works great. Starting to control other devices in the house.

    I am glad I got the two home minis for the other two floors in my home so I don't have to yell down to the basement level to ask what the weather is while dressing on the 3rd level. Still finding out what it is capable of. Want to tie into home security with it eventually. Overall pleased with the purchase.

    I use my Google assistant for everything. Alarms, music, shopping list, scheduling, etc. It's a great little item and so convenient to use. I love the hands free calling and so many of the other features that it offers. Great as a gift or for yourself.

    I think this is a good investment for students or people who have a busy lifestyle. It's great at keeping you up to date on the important stuff like appointments and class schedule. However, it is a little bit limited in the commands and there will often be times where it will tell me "i can't do this yet."
