    This product works great but sometimes I find myself yelling at it when it doesn't do what I ask. Will be adding more smart home products in the future.

    The Google assistant technology is great. My only complaint about this device is the lack of external audio output for connecting to speakers.

    The voice assistant works very well Looking forward to integrating smart home tech (harmony remote, switches, hue, Nest, and etc). For the $30 I spent its worth it just for the calendar management.
