    I love my Google Home mini, got is at at discount for $29. I have both this device and Amazon Echo, I like the responsiveness and accuracy of google home mini much better than the Echo. Echo sometimes does not understands my commands as well as google. Also google can understand commands in Portuguese and echo only supports English.

    Got my first mini when the price was only $29. Great buy.. Never worry about my alarm clock now! If electric goes off during the night and back on again, google alarm performs perfectly. A regular digital clock must be reset. Love this for everyday uses such as shopping list, time, reminders, weather, music etc. Just received my second as a Christmas present! Love them!
