This speaker on this device is shockingly loud for its size and it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
You can link this to many smart home products seamlessly.
Well worth the low price tag!

I was never interested in the smart speakers until I purchase the Google home mini on sale. It is very intuitive and its speaker is a lot louder than the Amazon Echo Dot. Great for listening to music.

The small footprint is great. It doesn't have the greatest bass but honestly I didn't expect it to for the size. It plenty loud for my office and it tucks discreetly behind my computer monitor. Really enjoy having it. Worth the money especially if you get it during the Christmas sales.

I buy these for my grandkids then teach them to use it. Help them set them set up and have fun. They tell me "old people" aren't suppose to use electronics. Lol.
They are very user friendly so impress your kids, get one and you'll be like me and have them in every room. I use to set timers, listen to music or audio books. Wake me with music. Answer questions, tell me what movies are showing etc.

Nice packaging . The product looked exactly as described and performs very well. Setup was super easy. I'm a previous Amazon echo ( alexa) owner ang got the Google home to compare. I would have to say that the Google home is much more versatile. The big kicker is the ability to do a simple Google search via your voice ( which the echo can not). It controls the same devices and set up is just as easy. Both are amazing pieces of tech. As a consumer and heavy usrr of both Amazon and Google products , it's hard to tell a rookie which to buy. I would have to say to go with the company that you eptimarily use for music as that will be the deciding factor . Great product would highly recommend

The Google Home Mini works in conjunction with your Google Home app to perform all of the functions in the app with voice control. If you have smart home apps linked to Google Home, you can use your voice to control it. Be aware that the Google Home Mini must be plugged in for use.

Don’t let the size fool you. This little gadget is very useful and other than the speaker size, this matches up to higher models. Very fun and useful. For the price of $29.99, you can’t go wrong.

We got a Google Home a year ago and we were pretty disappointed in how little it understood and could respond. Just a year later it is completely different. Google Home understands 80% of what we ask and can tell diffferent voices apart. The app also continues to improve and add more features. We decided to add the mini to reach into another room and the mini is just as great. You do have to use your voice to turn off sound on the mini rather than tapping like the Google Home. Overall I love it and can't wait to see where it's at in another year.

I didn’t think this would be as useful as it actually is. Totally surprised. Phillips lights are a great addition as well. Speaker is much louder than expected. Even has fun trivia games! Love!

Great little assistant. Even though it is pretty small, the speaker delivers great full & rich sound. Even the volume is pretty good for such a small size. I would have given 5 stars but it is limited to only a few streaming music companies. I wish I could play Apple Music .

Nice personal assistant who can read news, provide weather updates, traffic and play music. Best part you can connect play Netflix and You tube videos on TV if connected to Chromecast. This is a cool device to have in our home... It's been just few days but we are loving it.

The little speaker has decent sound, and is a well polished assistant compared to Amazon's Alexa. Worth the price for general knowledge, syncing with Spotify and home automation commands.

Fun toy for tv control

I bought a harmony hub and found i could use voice controls for it. Ok sounds fun so which one is best Google or Amazon. I decided to go with Google since I am not a prime member. This easily connected to my Harmony Hub but controls are ok. When I ask hey Google go to HGTV it then says ok let me get harmony then harmony says channel HGTV .....not quick and not smooth. Once I programmed voice controls for all my functions it works well. I only use it to turn tv on and off and from different inputs otherwise I change channels and volume with the remote app. It is a fun toy for this and I like it. We enjoy asking it questions especially my 4 year old. Listen for $30 it is a fun toy and you will be able to use it for some fun task. For me I'm not gonna have it running all aspects of my house and life but at this price it is worth it for some entertainment value and a little cool factor of whatever task you choose it to do.

Had Alexa before the public every got the first one and it was a fun but useless item. Yes it got better and if you had the time...and lots of it, you could program it using iffit and diving into A lot of linking this to that.
This on the other hand takes one gmail account and ability to yes to a couple of permissions and your done. Google answers real life question w/o the hassel of trying to figure out how to phrase the question to get the answer you want. I links to everything right from the start. Until these came out I had left a couple of phones on in various rooms to get the same effect. These just are better to look at and only answere when asked.
