Awesome little speaker. I read several reviews that question the sound quality, but I feel like this has really great sound quality for such a tiny speaker.

This is the OG. Most helpful when asking for weather updates, random information on Google, or just streaming music while you're doing whatever. And it connects so seamlessly to most devices. Get this, you can't go wrong. As a matter of fact, I just order a Nest Mini as my third to add to my studio. Review on that when it arrives.

The Google Home mini is great. It is great by itself or as a companion to the original. When compared the Echo mini, the sound quality is light years ahead.

We have a few of these around our home. They are very affordable and great for creating a smart home. It controls the lights in our home. Plays nice background music and has endless possibilities when you ask it questions. Definitely prefer google over Alexa because there has so been so many weird issues with the amazon Alexa. I would definitely recommend it!

I got this speaker from Google to add to my home, It does the basic commands like playing music or turn on the lights (Smart Switch required) or check your calendar, email, etc. It seems that with the latest updates more commands can be given to it, but it would be nice if you could have your family members voice added so it will give results depending on who's asking. Some limits and restrictions can be done through the Google Home app, but I wish they would allow some more tweaking for it.

For being so small, it's awesome. I have the full-size Alexa and this is a better speaker. Also this speaker voice recognition is so much better than Alexa.

My wife and I use it all the time for reminders, timers, playing music, asking questions and more. Eventually I'll get the smart light system to go with it.

Good speaker, fast responses, pretty easy set up. Couldn't get calling to work well, sometimes it would work and other times it said it couldn't find my contacts. Hard to remember to say "Hey Google" and not just start talking.

We love It! We have an Amazon Echo also and we prefer the Google Home Mini over the Echo. We ask them both a lot of questions and Google seems to know more.

Love the mini, cheap combact version. Very complimentary to the large version. Now I can talk to Google in any room without having to yell across the house.

These little things are great. They sound good for such a small speaker. There are so many things they can do. You can even use it for a sound machine at night and when it comes to something you need to know all you have to do is ask. You can tell it to show your Google photos on your tv too. Setting up is very easy also. I am very satisfied with everything.

I love my new speaker and being able to cure my curiosity in seconds without needing to find a device. Love being able to say an artist name and listening to music a ton as well. At this price everyone should have at least one.

We own a google home, this is our first Home Mini and it was purchased to be used in a night table. It is great as it helps in setting up alarms and lists.

I mainly use this to set my alarm cause I have to wake up in different time everyday. Very useful if you are just laying in bed and your phone is charging.

My thought was it may a lower grade than a Google home and may come with less feature. However, It has all features in small size and also very responsive.
