  • Nice but returned it for a couple of reasons

    I thought our family would love this, but I returned it for two reasons: a) I found out that Google stores every question ever asked to the device; b) I was concerned about it always being on and "listening" for the "Hey Google" command; and c) my family mostly asked it for the outside temperature. Other questions Google couldn't answer, or it took too long to figure out how to ask the right question to get an appropriate answer.
