    Nice and compact. Not crazy loud, but it's $30 so I can't complain.

    Already have the regular Google Home, this is an additional unit. I used this Mini to replace an Amazon Dot I had at this location (the Dot got relagated to a more remote location in the house. Having had both (Google and Amazon), I just find the overall knowledge graph of Google just more indepth and easier to use. Both control all my smart devices nicely!

    I now have 3 of these. In terms of function, it works great when connected to the right devices. Also if understand any question you throw at it no matter how you ask it.....98% of the time. I just used it to play music and find my phone when I lose it in the house. If your home is your sanctuary and you prioritize your privacy, don’t get it. But it you have a cell phone....big brother is probably already on to you.
