    Bought it for my sister. She loves it. Very responsive and picks up voice even when we whisper.

    This is a neat device for the house. I use it in my bedroom to set my alarm and wake up to my favorite song.

    I purchased one during the Christmas Holidays in 2017 and have enjoyed it to this day. I mainly use it for music or simple "who sang/acted in..." questions. Google Music has an extensive library of songs (omitting several obscure albums from obscure bands but I'm not being picky). I'll probably buy another one.

    Google home is now a big part of my house. I have three and like being able to control my lights, thermostat, and a few other devices with it. I have one by my bed which I ask it for the time throughout the night and use it for my alarm. I like having it play the news and use it for finding general information.

    I ended up returning this product but I do hear great things about the Google Home. I use Google Voice on my phone and I know that Google Home is very similar to that. You're able to just say "OK Google" and then ask Google a question. You can ask about directions, how the weather is, etc.
