One of our favorite features is OK Google let's play a game. It will give you a list of multiple games that you can play with the entire family.

Great controller as a secondary device for home automation. Also use as an alarm clock which uses both lighting and a chime which is effective but not intrusive.

When I hooked this up for my mother, she went crazy. Not sure that she really knows how to fully use it, but she can get weather and play music, so, she's happy.

Love my mini’s. I use them as an intercom system in my home, no more yelling upstairs for the kids. During parties I use for music system and plays music throughout. Easy to use and can even control over devices (pause roku, turn off tv, change thermostat, and control lights).

The google home mini has been a very good addition to my apartment, I’ve made calls, played trivial pursuit, listed to podcasts and music! I’ve enjoyed the “ Ok Google how’s my day?” It’s been a great purchase :)

I love how you can play music through this smart home device. I have found it useful in getting traffic updates before leaving home several times. It has also been useful when needing answers to random questions.

The unit does a good job recognizing voices of multiple users. It also does a good job of controlling accessories such as switches and outlets.

Your own personal Jarvis assistant that can not only answer any question but help with tasks and has pretty great sound for it's little size. Works great to fill out your smaller rooms with while you place the bigger Google home in the larger areas. Perfect for a bathroom to play music while you shower or relax in the tub... and also great with kids.

Didn't think I would use as much as I have. It has completely replaced my alarm and weather report. It also has become my bedroom music player.

I already have a google home and chrome cast. This fit right in and easy to use. Seems like it picks up my voice better than the original home.

This tiny product has made my time in the kitchen so easy. I love setting a timer so EASILY and not having to stop what I'm doing. I also love being able to play music whenever I want to, without having to wash my hands and look around for my phone. It's so convenient to get the news at any time, and get random questions answered. Love it!

Great device to compare to the amazon echo dot. It was very affordable and the price is great. Well worth it in every way and worth every dime
