Have a few Echo Dot's and gave this a try and was impressed with the sound quality and amount of integration you can achieve. Definitely buying more of these.

Really good quality speaker for the price. Google does better at voice commands and search. However you need a chrome cast to connect it to external speakers.

The sound quality is much better than Alexa. I find my self using the Google mini more than the Echo dot. I bought it just to compare and like it much better.

I love this for the simplicity of control and using it as a little alarm/speaker. Works so easily with my google cast TV and is fun to ask it to play netflix.

I already have a Google Home so I was very excited to get the mini. It connects with my home so I can listen to the same types of music from one to the other.

Pretty fun and super easy to use this device follows us all over the house. When you're tired and want to sleep just ask the device to play sounds of the ocean and you'll have waves in the background that will calm you and assist your sleep. Arguing with a friend about who is right, just say, "hey google" and ask! Only issue I feel could be improved would be adding equalizer settings for music, and being able to change them the device responds to. Other than that it's actually quite great!

This little mini speaks very well. But pair it with another speaker and your sound system will be awesome. It picks up your voice from another room very good.

I'm glad Google launched this in their Google home product line with this competitive price point. A good product but could be better in terms of searching the web when trying to provide you information for the question you asked.

Do you know the difference between Alexa and Google? Google works! You can ask whatever you want, whenever, whereever and with any accent. Awesome assistant!

Great device, works just like the big brother, but the sound is a little less tuned. Overall, still a great product for the price point. Better than the Dot!

The google hoe mini is an awesome little device and for the sale price you can't go wrong. I'm using it to control lighting by voice among many other things.

Don't know how well it actually works yet as was bought as a gift. Don't see any reason for it to not perform as well as the full size home or an amazon dot.

I suprise when I am using it. It is over my imagination. If it can participate with more companies and devices, it is definitely a smart assistance for life.

Love this small speaker! It’s great as a virtual assistant: it can control my smart devices via the Samsung SmartThings Hub, it can quickly answer any of my questions, and it sounds very good as a music speaker given its small size.
For the best sound quality, I would recommend one of the bigger speakers from Google. But this is great as a bedroom or office speaker.

The sound was much better than expected from a small device. Of course it is hard to beat Google's search. May come in useful in getting the teenager to put down her phone for awhile while doing chores since she can talk to it.
