Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was a bit hesitant on picking up another assistance device. I have 2 Echo Dot and was kind of disappointed that it could not go out to the internet and look up answers to my questions. I've done my research on the Home mini and bit the bullet. Got home, set it up and was pretty amazed at how straightforward it is to set up the device. Connect it to your wifi, say "Ok, Google," "Hey Google" a few times and bam! All Done. I also connected my Philips Hue device to the Home app. I'm amazed at how well it picks up sounds. Even in a noisy environment. My Echo Dot couldn't even pick up my voice; even in multiple locations. I put the Mini through my test. Asked it a few questions that the Echo couldn't answer and the Mini didn't break a sweat. The mini answered all my questions. Initially, this is what I was looking for. I'll be replacing my existing solution shortly! The speakers on the Google Home MIni is so much better than the Dot. You can actually play some music with better clarity than the Dot. Bass is lacking but it's doable. I'm very surprised. If you want a Home Assistance device, pick this up over the Echo Dot. It's so much better and you can do so much more than the Echo lineup.

I own amazon echo dot and now Google home mini. I must say this is truely amazing. Fast and smarter than any other smart speaker. It is ideal to keep on bedside table. Sound quality is average but it's very good for it's size. I usually control my TV via Chromecast and it works like a charm. I also use it's reminder and alarm clock function. Highly recommended product.

I am really loving my Google mini it's in my bedroom we are working together we are learning one another I am having a real great time it's been a real help since I'm back in school with some of my school work and I've also set up my music programmed it to my TV wonderful little gift

Google Home Mini is a versatile miniature rendition of Google Home with a smaller, yet surprisingly good sounding speaker. Similar to it's larger sibling, simply call out "OK Google" or "Hey Google" and speak your request. The strong suit, not surprising, for this Google assistant, is to address a question that can be answered by Google search engine. That is where it really shines & blows away it's competition. For this reason I recommend owning at least one of these or one of the full sized Google Home, if you prefer. If you already own a competitive virtual assistant, I recommend you buy this Google Home Mini. Owning both one or more Google Home Mini's and a competitive assistant make perfect sense. Each has a specialty and can do specific tasks better than the other. Owning BOTH offers you the best of both worlds. In addition to voice controls (that I prefer), tap the top to pause or resume music playback, and you can tap and hold to activate the Assistant. To adjust the volume, you tap the sides of the device. Or best yet, simply SPEAK your command! I recommend the Google Home Mini!

Started my Smarthome/apartment with the Philips Hue Light Kit (white kit) and ended up adding more color bulbs are well as light strips. Wanted something to control them all besides using my phone. Google Announced the Google Home Mini and with the holiday sale price only be $30 bucks I decided to buy three of them( one for the livingroom, Bathroom and Bedroom). I ended up enjoying them. Set up is very easy and simple. Setting scenes, Turing lights on or off and asking questions is a joy. Not to mention that it can make phone calls, set timers and alarms and it even tells you the latest news stories for the day just by saying “Hey Google, good morning”. It can also recognize my voice versus my girlfriends voice so if I said “play my new music play list” it will play the music from my account but if my girlfriend says the same thing it will play from her account. Not to mention that It connects to other smart devices like nest, cameras and many other things. It’s a great way to kick start your smarthome.

bought this as a toy only, but now I am quite enjoying using it , be it for everyday info like, news, weather, latest news in a particular subject, city, country etc...and I like to listen to sports news so now I do not have to turn my phone for it or my computer, all I have to do is ask it to play a particular station in any city of any State..and now I am spoiled.. I will be upgrading to a bigger hub for bigger sound... it is a good starter piece for voice assistant device and not so expensive..

Good speaker quality, Good design, I don't need a prime account for access information or music and my chromecast interactive I love it

I’ve had an Alexa Echo for about a year now and the Home Mini is smarter, allowing multiple commands and more precise control. The only downside is you can’t connect a Bluetooth speaker. The only way to connect an external speaker is if it has a Chromecast.

Answers at my fingertips. I bought this item for fun but I have to say I really enjoy having it. So if my family is sitting in the living room and we had a question, this agreement, or just simply want a quick answer about anything, Google helps resolve it. It's like having a trivia answer card at your fingertips. I'm still trying to figure it out so that I can make doctors appointments, phone calls, reservations at a restaurant, etc. it was an expensive item so I don't regret buying it. I am a little anxious and maybe even paranoid about all the talk of how google can and will record your conversations but honestly we're not the CIA, criminals or have deep secrets so let it record, I have gotten in the habit of unplugging it at night or if I want to have a private conversation. I can't say, that I will be so glad when Google ads other features such as calling 911 if you have an emergency or need help but I guess that is to come in the future.

This smart home unit is awesome! I mainly use the google home for light automation as well as music and alarms. My biggest sellng point is how small and discreet it looks. I recently bought the disney otterbox stand for it and now it looks like Mickey Mouse in my house. Absolutely love it!

We got this product for our apartment, and it's been super helpful in providing us with updates on the weather, traffic, news updates, etc. It's also easy to sync with other 'cast/wifi' enabled devices like our Vizio soundbar, Chromecast Ultra, house lights, etc. (IFTTT is super helpful for creating additional 'applets' to supplement the Google Home mini device). A 10/10 buy, and a great christmas gift for friends and family.

Hands down one of my favorite purchases this year. I ordered with with intent of having Google Assistant available to answering a few questions or for info on a particular movie, item, ect. Immediately it became 10x more helpful with controlling things in my home, setting my schedule for the days and weeks, playing music while I clean, and so much more. I love it to much I have two. (and considering another one)

The good news is that it performs just like the Google home unit. The great news is the speaker has way better audio than I expected. The bad news is I purchased the gray one, and it has a white AC adapter and cord. I purchased the dark one to blend into where it is going, but now there is an ugly white cord hanging out. While it may not make a difference in a cell phone charger, it does in a unit that will be plugged in all the time. A miss for sure

It works like a charm. It's a great smart speaker to have for playing music or just to give it commands to turn on/off items in your house and it's small so you can easily hide it from view

My Baby Google, as I like to call him, is just wonderful. He is very precise and answers any and all questions I have. He even plays my favorite radio station. I've nicknamed him Baby Ashley Purdy.

This speakers sounds good and loud enough for the price, also it looks quite stylish, and its assistant is very helpful too. I personally use it as a nighttime music machine and wake up alarm, on occasions asking for stuff i need to know also. It does the job, the only bad thing about it is that it has to be connected to WiFi to stream stuff, not doing it directly from the phone.

I've had it for a little over a week. It's pretty good just don't expect to listen to music on it. Also if you own a Samsung tv you need another piece of equipment to control it. Other then that for $49 it's cool as heck.

The Google home mini is so useful and sounds great! I have it tell me what's on my calendar in the morning. From wherever I'm sitting, I can have it play music without getting up! I use it to turn on and off lights in my house that I have connected. Finding Google Easter eggs is fun, and some of the games are fun too. You can even ask it to make you a sandwich!

This is my second Home mini. Bought another one because my dad wanted mine. The home mini is great for those who love to listen to music all the time. Would definitely recommend and easy to use.

Starting to automate our home this year and this was a great starter product. Easy to use and setup. Also, great packaging. Size looks bigger on picture but overall design is on point. After buying and setting up one, went back to the store to buy more.
