  • Not as good as Alexa

    The Google Home Mini is a nice addition to my phone office. I got it free when I purchased another item at Best Buy. I already had an Amazon Echo with Alexa and IMO Alexa is still the front-runner in this game. Alexa is smarter when asking her questions and can be linked with more music services and smart devices. If you are already in the Google Eco-system the Google Home Mini will be a nice addition to your other products but right now cannot beat Alexa. Google will likely get smarter and more useful over time with future updates.

    The Google home mini is perfect for my small house and can be used with several other "smart" home equipment. I also bought a Pixel 3a phone and one of the things I really like is when I say "hey Google" my home mini answers rather than my phone. It was really annoying before when I was using my old HTC and I'd get answers from both my phone and the mini....
