Great as an alarm clock, to get morning details about weather and traffic, check my schedule for the day and listen to my favorite music all without handling anything!!

For smaller rooms this version of the home is great. Music sound is ok not great but it is small and discreet. If you play alot of music while going about your daily duties the larger home is great, loud and can be used as a Bluetooth speaker.

What else can be said that hasn't been said before? The slightly obese puck packs a punch for any possible ponderings picked. I put this near my night lamp to play music when I am getting ready for work and asking random things when I clean up my room. I set alarms, listen to audio books, traffic, cast to my tv, order pizza...All for $25??? What else will Google think of?....

The Google Home mini benefits from the intelligence of Google. Sound is better than the Echo Dot, but still not amazing sounding. I expect the Google Home to be more useful once more third party developers launch Actions for Google Assistant.

Does what my larger Google Home does except music is not as full sounding due to smaller size of this unit. But assistant's voice is clear even at high volume setting.

Amazed at how well it interprets questions and how quickly it responds. Easy to setup and link to Spotify, wireless speakers, Philips Hue and other smart home devices.

Bought this for the kitchen since my Google Home is in the master bedroom. Great sound despite its size. Set up was a breeze. Getting another for the living room soon.

It’s really small but has good sound quality. Wish it was a bit quicker to respond. Overall great product for its value. I can control my Nest thermostat and much more

Got it for an awesome deal! And most importantly, it 'just works' after setting it up (which is easy and straightforward), it does everything advertising says it does.

Good product, with a few short comings. Like the usability of Google. Wish it connected to bluetooth speakers without having to buy another Google device (Chromecast Audio) or at least have a 3.5mm headphone jack to plug a speaker in direct.

I love this thing! It is extremely easy to use. I'm just scratching the surface of all it can do besides setting alarms, playing music, and answering random questions.

Absolutely a great device. If you're invested into the Google ecosystem, this is an absolute must have. It's so cheap and effective that you can get one for each room.

I have had the original Google Home since they came out. But I wasn't in love with it. Si Got some Amazon echo dots. They worked better with my WEMO plugs. But, Google is much better now and I recently got some Phillips Hue lights and Google is way better than Alexa at running them, with easy of set up, etc. Plus the answers and help from the Google Assistant is just better, more detailed and informative.

Best part you can tell mini to play any song, you don’t have to go to laptop to start you tube or ask about weather. My kid is asking only about jokes. I wish it should be working when I am moving mini one place to other. This is a drawback.

This complements my Google Home very well while not taking up a lot of space. It just blends in. Now I don't have to go to another room to ask Google to do something.

It does everything you expect it to do. However I don't see why you have to buy a subscription to other services to play specific songs when I can just YouTube it anywhere else fine. But it's nice and entertaining. Kids love it. It's great.
