    It's an average speaker and it had hard time hearing my commands. Initially it was exciting to use it but later on it became useless for me as I don't have many home automation devices.

    This is the OG. Most helpful when asking for weather updates, random information on Google, or just streaming music while you're doing whatever. And it connects so seamlessly to most devices. Get this, you can't go wrong. As a matter of fact, I just order a Nest Mini as my third to add to my studio. Review on that when it arrives.

  • 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.
