    Added 3 more to my home along with a standard Google Home in the main living area. All work great.

    When you are not using the mini, you need to take out the power, otherwise it will deduct your voice and start responding

    Google Home Mini vs Amazon Alexa Dot

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

    The hardware in the Home Mini is very different from the Amazon Dot. The Speaker in the Mini is better than the Dot but you can connect the Dot to another audio device that is a better speaker. The Mini cannot be connected to another speaker device. The Mini has no audio cable output and the Bluetooth will not connect to a Bluetooth speaker (like the Dot will). But the Mini can be used as a Bluetooth Speaker for a device like your cell phone. Completely opposite for these two devices. From a software and functional standpoint, they are very similar. I am still testing to see if there is any special best in one vs the other in software operation. Of course, you can't play Amazon Music Unlimited directly through your Google Home Mini!! Same thing with Amazon Dot, no support of Google services. As far as I can tell for now... Still Testing.

    I really do like the google home and the google home mini, however, I feel that they will be more useful after we finish converting our home into a "smart" home.

    Neat product. If you have a Google Home they need to be spread apart from each other. My house is not that big so both units sometimes pick up my verbal request.

    I like the tech stuff and so this product. However, only drawback is they need to build good AI for it to be able to answer decent amount of questions.

    It is a little glitchy at times and does not understand what I am asking, e.g. brightening lights instead of turning them off. Overall works fine.
