    It’s ok. My son likes it. The only issue he has is getting music to play smoothly. Has to do unnecessary work

    Google??? This thing is terrible, so difficult to Connect other devices. I’m tired of wasting my time and energy figureing out all the bugs.

    I wish it knew more answers to my questions. Also I would prefer that it gave local news when asked how is my day. It gives local weather.

    The 29.99 google assistant has very limited capacity to answer questions and no volume control. Its more of a gadget than a real assistant.

    Google's Home Mini Smart Speaker is okay. Cool for listening to music, but it's limited to only a couple of streaming services.

    The Google Home Mini is a good start but it's not quite up to the ability of the Amazon Alexa. I expect it will be soon though.

    DOES NOT WORK with some SONY Smart TVs

    Google Home Mini is basically a glorified speaker that can use limited Google Assist to answer trivial questions. But when it comes to the Smart side of the product, if you have a SONY Smart TV, there is a problem right now that Google Home Mini won't connect to the TV to do what it's supposed to do. I called the help desk, and apparently Google and SONY are working to make the fixes. However, since the reason I bought the product is to start making my home SMART, then the product has failed in that department. It was funny to hear the rep ask me if I'd tried the Smart Lights or Smart Thermostat, and I told him, why would I invest in other Smart products, when the Google Assist can't even run my TV. Also, if you're not subscribed to a premium music service, you cannot directly request a specific song by a specific artist...you will only be able to request playing a generic genre of music, like Top 40 music. For $25, Google Home Mini is a great little toy for my son to play around with, but until the fixes are made to control the SONY TVs, I'm not a big fan right now.

    We received one of these with a washing machine purchase. I tried using it just as a Bluetooth speaker and after a week of frustration I threw it out. Maybe it’s because I use an iPhone not android or something, but it would constantly disconnect after a few minutes.
