I tried the Echo for 30 days and it did not meet my daily use as well as I though it would. It really came down to calendar and and music for me. Glad I did give both a try. In the end Home was able to work best.

We use the mini in the nursery when the grandkids are over to generate white noise during nap time. But just saw how I could stream our nest camera video to the TV in that room - lots more features to discover

I bought this for my teenage grandchild for Christmas. Gives her hours of fun asking questions and helps her if she needs an answer to a specific question. She can just speak the question instead of going to her phone.

It's very hard to set up with an IOS. Also, it doesn't work with certain types of emails. (High school students) Seems like it's tethered to my phone because it doesn't work unless the phone is near it, the application is pulled up, and the phone is on.

The Google Home mini is the perfect compliment to our Google Home. It's nice to have the ability to get answers quickly to any questions. In addition to having the ability to play our music. I wish the Mini had a little more bass.

Love the google home line. Have several already and with black friday price wanted to add to another room to better control lights, etc. If I was going to use more for music would have gotten the 2nd generation. First does everything you need but sound is not as good as on newer model.

I have one in almost every room in my house. The whole home music is really cool. I use it for when I shower to stream music. Controls all of my smart lights and other devices. Don’t know why I didn’t buy these sooner.

The Google Home Mini is fun to ask questions, and since I have an Echo we often pit them against one another. It's obvious that the Home Mini has a better search engine behind it(answers some questions that are obscure and not known by Echo), but the Echo often communicates better, and seems to be more conversational.
