The google Home mini is great for small spaces. I have mine in my office, and it is great for finding the weather and a plethora of other things.

What's lightweight, palm-sized, wireless, and shaped like an arepa? The Google Home Mini Smart Speaker. Safety 4-U: program lights to turn on B-4 you get home after dark. Convenient: shut TV, turn on overhead lights or lamps or both with a voice command, or a cell phone. Affordable: no electrician needed. Shh: hey, Google, lower your volume. Nice.

My family and I love these. We are just starting to get into the realm of a home assistant. These minis fit the bill. Got them for Christmas when they were $20 cheaper and it was a great purchase. My kids love asking each what the weather is going to be the next day so they know how to plan their clothes. I love the shopping list and broadcast feature. Just bought a Harmony Hub so will see how well the two talk to each other. Is ti perfect, no. But it keeps getting better little by little.

I received this for free when I bought a smart thermometer and it is fun to use!
I really like using it as an alarm - in case I forget to set it before I hop in bed I can just verbally ask it to wake me up at a certain time. I also use it when I’m in the shower and it is loud enough even over the drumming of the water and the fan.

After setting up the Google Home on the main floor, I knew I wanted something for the family room in the basement. Home mini is the perfect fit!!

Comparing to Amazon Products

I purchased the Google Home Mini to compare it to the existing Amazon products I have (Echo, Tap, Dot). Overall the functionality has been the same between the two ecosystems.
I use Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon FireTV, Amazon Shopping, and Prime Video, so it makes more sense to use Amazon products rather than Google.
The Home Mini seems to accept a wider range of questions/comments phrased in different ways, sometimes you have to say things a very specific way with Amazon devices. The Home Mini also has a more natural sounding AI voice.

I like it! sometimes google doesn't understand what im asking, but then i can google it and i get the answer, so sometimes thats frustrating. I guess it's still learning. Overall i like it- can get weather, alarms, play music, link to apps you have, turn on and off appliances, even plays games. It can hear me ask a question from upstairs in my room, so thats cool

I placed each of the mini's in the bedrooms of my home. They are small and unobtrusive, yet are just as easy to use as the larger portable unit.

Bought a second google home mini and now I can stream my fav playlist to both speakers at the same time. The sound was better than my Echo Dots.

Did not realize how useful this little google home mini could be. Love having it in the house, and the speaker is very good for the living room.

Google has some room to catch up on Echo, it does a better job on some things. As it may be limited on bluetooth, its only going to get better. Ask google anything and most of the time you get answers, unlike Echo

I want to set it up in a way that I can control my Sonos. Will most probably need to buy a Chromecast Audio as well. Nevertheless, great device.

Absolutely AWESOME. Sound quality for such a small device is the best. For 30 dollars and a 10 dollar Best Buy card - this deal can’t be beaten!
