    Much faster than Siri and HomePod. And good integration with smart devices such as Nest products. Hope to get support for more devices soon such as Chamberlain MyQ

    We use this one mostly for timer or alarm clock. We wanted to use it in conjunction with another to try to communicate between 2 in the home. Could not get it to do that.

    Its an inexpensive and unobtrusive looking google assistant client. One star docked due to speaker volume and quality not being quite as nice as the full sized units.

    Decent sound. Google search packed in a tiny speaker. Works really well if you’re using the Google ecosystem (gmail, google calendar, google maps, etc..)

    It works good for a bathroom speaker. The sound quality could be better. It doesn't have a pause touch spot like the regular Google home has. But I still enjoy it for music.
