    Great little device to have in every room. Although the broadcast feature would be better as an intercom.

  • Smarter than Alexa

    This is objectively smarter than Alexa, but that doesn't mean it's better. Google is invasive. They want to know everything about you. They buy companies like Nest and Fitbit and then harvest all the data those companies collected on you. There's nothing wrong with this device, but with google behind it I can't recommend it.

    The Google Home mini fails to give us the one thing that Alex Echo Dot does give the Consumer. That's the ability to drop in and call home from another location using the Home device sync with my Android phone. G.H.M. is probably smarter than A.E.D. but based off the fact that A.E.D. has that feature. I find it slightly better.

    I bought this to compare to the echo that I currently have. It needs some improvements before it is equal.
