All Google all the time. We have a Google Home but wanted something smaller for the bedroom, this was the answer. Connects easily with the Google Home infrastructure and all our smart home devices. Nice to not have your phone with you all the time.

I have one full size Home now and 4 minis in other rooms. It's super handy to play music throughout the house or use it as an intercom. I will say that the mini doesn't have the full sound of the full size Home, but it's also significantly cheaper.

Saw the recent ad on TV and had to get one. Not disappointed. Say- Hey Google- ask a question - and you will get a concise answer. Say - hey Google good morning and she will give you time temperature forecast and start giving you the news. Love it!

We are really enjoying the Google mini. We have it set on the top bookshelf in living room and ask it to play music while sitting 10-15 feet away. The kids also have fun asking it questions as well. I love the size of it and the sound it produces.

I love this google home mini, it’s great to automate a lot of your house gadgets but also if you’re on the google ecosystem this is one of the most helpful products you can get from the google asistente line because this basically becomes your hub

Sr. citizen who was gifted this item loves to look up random info/trivia and can't spell well, does not understand how to narrow a search or to pick the appropriate URL from an answer set on a computer. Simply asking Google is a perfect solution.

We already have a google home and decided to try the google home mini in another room. It works great love the home automation (we have done our lights and some outlets). Easy to set up and use. Lots of compatability with aftermarket accessories.

While I have not used this item since it is a Christmas gift, the demo and explanation that I received from Wilson during my visit made all of the difference. I was torn between this and the Amazon Echo and this, in my opinion, was far superior.

I installed it in the bedroom and after a couple weeks it works well. The Home mini is pretty responsive and easy to use even with ample background noise. It recognizes my girlfriend and my voice with ease. The speaker is good and plenty loud enough for the bedroom. It also paired nicely with a Philip Hue starter kit I picked up after the fact.

Nothing but kudos and praise for this little hockey puck. Its so convenient to turn the lights on and off, just ask Google! Want to play music? Google Home Mini can do that. It can tell you the weather, news, and so much more. highly recommended

First of all, the speaker in the Google Home Mini is way better than Amazon Echo Dot. Secondly, it does what it’s suppose to do. If you ask Google something- it will read back everything it searched for and what the website and send it to your phone as well. Amazon Dcho Dot- will send it to your phone only. The build quality is amazing as well

Works as expected. A little disappointed that it came with micro usb and not usb c but, it's going to stay plugged in so I don't care much for it. Sound is really good and it does a really good job at picking up your voice from across the room.

This google home mini has been awesome! I received it for free with a purchase of a Nest thermostat. I have this connected to my Nest, TVs, and garage right now. Not only is there the cool feature of asking questions but I can also ask it to add items to my shopping list and then pull it up on my phone when at the store. I ask the Nest to close my garage door, change the temperature and turn on/off my TVs with the option of turning on specific shows/movies on specific apps (Netflix, HBO Now, etc.).

I’ve had the google mini assistant for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I use it to control my lights(wemo), cameras(arlo), thermostat(nest) and then some. Setup of these devices through google assistant is via the IFTTT app and is fairly easy (just a couple of minutes per device). Additionally I use it for simple tasks like setting reminders, checking the weather etc and it works great. It has powerful microphones and can listen to me even when I’m 15-20 feet away from the assistant. The sound quality is great for response to tasks but not great if you want to listen to music on it. I believe the bigger google assistant is better suited for that.i don’t use it to listen to music so I’m okay with the speaker performance. Great product overall. Highly recommend for anybody wanting to smarten their home and routine tasks!

The Google Home Mini is great! I was a little skeptical when I first bought it because I bought it for a speaker more than anything else. But it has a great sound and it can look up literally anything which helps a lot when I’m doing homework!

Better than Echo

My girlfriend wanted to "upgrade" from the Echo to these since she uses Google so much on her phone and is trying to get me to do the same. I'll just say that these are much better than the Echo and they seem to listen/understand much better.
