    First time using a product of this category. First thing my 11yr old son said was, "awesome, it can help me with my homework". And he uses it alot.

    Just beginning to explore the smart home technology. This was a black Friday buy. For the price I could not pass it up. Hopefully it doesn't go the way of Betamax.

    The whole family loves our mini Google. We're asking questions all the time, and getting educated at the same time. HA I use it to control my TV (via Chromecast), play music, set wakeup alarms, get the morning news and weather, etc. Compact size is great, too. Also bought them as a gift for two friends and they both said "it was the best gift ever."

    Bought this on sale for $30 on cyber Monday. I’m still learning about everything it can do but I’ve paired it with 2 insignia smart plug-ins and I can command the lights to turn off and on so I’m basically a God now.

    Great gadget to have in the home. Not too bad of a speaker and all of the functionality of a Google Home without the potpourri/air freshener look.

    We have echo dots in our home and the Google mini is much better. It answered questions echo could not and also understands voice commands better.

    Google's Home Mini was a no brainer for me. I like Google's products and ecosystem. Their voice recognition is the best out. Siri is horrible and Alexa is good, but not like Google. I will list the things I use the most and will demonstrate how Google's products and ecosystem tie in together. Turn on TV --> Google Chrome Cast Dongle Turn on lights --> Random outlet smart switch or smart light Turn on AC/Heater --> Google Nest Thermostat Play Song/Playlist from Spotify, Youtube, Youtube Music Play "name of Netflix show" on TV (name of Google Chromecast) Add reminder or calendar event --> Google Calendar Ask a question --> Google Search These are just a few examples of commands and how they connect with other hardware and programs. Chromecast and Google smart speakers are amazing as they allow you to control your tv. Asking Google to play my "Vibe Time" playlist on Spotify during a gathering is sweet. Since this is a piece of technology, it will sometimes lag, be unresponsive, or lose internet connection. Unplugging and plugging back in is a simple resolution.

    Perfect assistant if you use a ton of Google products like YouTube red, Google play music. Easy to setup and very intuitive recipient of commands.

    Used it to listen to the news and christmas music. Way louder than you'd think. No YouTube video will do it justice. It easily covered my kitchen.

    This speaker is better than my bluetooth speaker. It can play Netflix movie with voice command but not Vudu or Movie Anywhere. So far, I loved it.

    If you are looking for a home convenience product, this is it. I love that you can ask google anything no matter where you are and get an answer. I bought it for my parents, and they love it. Easy to use and set up.

    I've had this for about a week, and compared to the Dot the speaker is a little better, and I like that it can answer non-specific questions better and more thoroughly. It is much slower to make any response though.

    It can handle most questions or command. Play music/song if you can tell what you want. Put calendar. Wonder if it knows foreign language by using google translate. Is there a way to setup? Guess need to ask itself.

    It’s very easy to set up, didn’t have any problems with it. Has other various languages with it. It’s a very smart speaker and the sound when listening music are great. Overall it’s a great product for the price I paid $25. Will be buying more products since I’m very satisfied with it. This was my first google smart home product.

    If you’re in the market for something new, don’t hesitate to pick this up. It’s fun and easy to you. Great thing about it is that everyone in the house can use it. Better than SIRI and understand every word you say.

    I love this, I only wish they sold the additional equipment I needed like lights, switch and etc together so I did not have to run back and forth to get everything I needed. Otherwise great! And and a great price.
