    Works better than I thought it would and sounds pretty good for a small speaker. We use it almost every day. It also works great for our smart lights!

    It'll help with alarms and calendars and will definitely answer you on the weather. But all too often it says I'm not programmed to do that just yet.

    Got this as part of a package with a Nest Doorbell. I already have a Pixel 2 phone and it's pretty much an extension of the google assistant. I can turn on any of my smart devices and if someone's in face recognition with the nest, it tells me they're at the door with their name. It does confuse my phone when I want to make a phone call through a voice command but otherwise, it's great.
