Have bought self one and given as a gift. Have family who use it as well. As my friend said, "It was the life of the party!" I use mine daily to timers for cooking, play music, give weather report, etc.

We have both the echo dots and these minis in our house, some of us prefer the dots, some the dots. The minis are easier to pair up with our phones. Now the minis have to pair to each other that would be great!

I purchased this because my niece had one and I thought it to be very late to be able to access information just by voice request although it is uncomfortable to know that people could be listening when you’re not aware

It does some cool things. It'll tell you a joke or the weather. If you have a music service, it will play whatever song you tell it to. It controls some smart home products. It kind of depends on whether you want to use your phone for these activities or if you'd rather speak it and it's done.

When I walked inside the store, I was quite surprise to find the google home mini for the price that I did. I purchased it and used it as a gift for our yankee swap this christmas. It was a hit!

I love my alexa and the google home is a close second. If i did t have Amazon's unlimited music and prime I'd go with google home entirely. I bought this for 1 reason. An echo device can only mnage one harmony remote system. I have two

Haven't had any issues with speech recognition like I've had with my experiences with amazon echo. In a 10'x13' room with it sitting in one corner it can accurately pick up anything I ask in a normal conversational volume.

I could not connect my nest hello to an electrical ring because I do not have one installed at home. This smart speaker works like a ringer and also announce who is ringing the bell.

Product is great. Wish it was easy to use with iPhones. It frequently disconnects from iPhones. Not sure if it’s an Apple issue or a google issue. Never had the problem when I owned a android phone.

This unit was purchased to fulfill a need to make it easier for someone with challenges to get info like weather, music, etc. Now, they can just ask it for what they need and it responds accordingly. Perfect!

This is a nice little device. For the price, the functionality is absolutely awesome. The whole family has been using it. The sound quality is much better than I expected for a "mini" device. I would definitely recommend!

I have several Alexa devices so when I got a chance to get one of these for free to try, I had to check it out. Overall very nice, but to me the Alexa has more integrations due to its time in the market.

I have an original 'Google Home' and it works great. I thought that the addition of another 'mini' would have been a waste, but I wanted to try it out. It works great and seems to listen a bit better than my regular one.

Bought this for my 93 year old mother. She uses it to ask about the weather, recipes and to search for videos to watch on her television. Bought on sale for a great price. Loved it so much bought one of me.
