This is my second Google Mini, adding it to the downstairs main room, this product was a free addition to my purchase of a Nest Thermostat.
Both products were in stock and ready to go.

Bought as a gift for my 60 something year old Aunt. She loves it and gets a big kick out of it. Have one at my house and we use ours all the time and love it.

Only use it as a speaker so far, so I can only judge the audio quality. Not sure if it will an integral part of life even after installing Nest thermostats but it's convenient for now.

Speakers are great. But now that I have the hubs these are almost wasteful, I guess I could sell if. But I recommend getting the screens

Google does everything, a better assistant than Alexa. It works with so many different devices and is very versatile. You can set them up to know your day and to cast things to your smart TV.

Great when it work. It has a problem connecting to my WiFi that is upstairs right above where I placed the mini, but it still has connection issues 90% of the time. I will be returning it and buying the Amazon Echo instead.

The item itself is very nice, responds well, and blends in without being intrusive. The software however has some flaws, such is not properly working with some Android TVs and when using reminders it only states that there is a reminder not what the reminder is.

There are so many things we can do with this! Playing music is just one of them. I control my lights and thermostat as well. In my opinion, Google's speech recognition is far better than that of Amazon!

This was a request from my grandson. He was excited to get it. Don't know any more than that as he doesn't live close to me and I haven't heard from him yet as to how it works.

This is a good home AI assistant. Speaker quality is marginal, but what do you expect from the mini.
I wish the AI would become more intuitive. I am constantly having to think about how best to ask Google a question. Hoping that improves.
Integrates well with Nest products.

Nice little home assistant to which you can ask anything. Whenever you are unsure of a certain fact, you can ask Google, and it usually knows the answer.

Bought this as a gift and did not work with the smart TV. It required an additional chromecast and the TV it was purchased for wasn't able to be set up with it. I guess it's a great gift/item if the TV is equipped.

This thing is amazing. I talk to it without even thinking about it sometimes now. however, if you aren't going to use it very often it might not justify the price. but even having it just for random questions everyday/using it as a bluetooth speaker make it worth the price for me.
