Customer Ratings & Reviews

My girlfriend likes and kept the google device, it answers questions better and I used it to translate english to chinese with very good results. Sounds good and setup was pretty easy.

Google Assistant in general is very useful: lists, news, shopping, search, alarms, etc. Voice commands feature is good, but still being fine tuned as wording has to be exact or the assistant won't do what you want. Ability to sync multiple Home devices is very useful, can have whole home sound without volume being too loud in any one room. As one would expect, speaker on the mini is less than ideal, but still very functional. Won't get much bass, but will do for simple listening, especially when augmenting another device while synced. Small foot print and nice aesthetic makes it blend in well.

I bought this during the Black Friday deal, where it was $29. I absolutely love this device! It’s easy to use and the speaker is amazing for such a little item. Must have in any home!

Got to admit that. I was skeptical about this purchase but so far I like it a lot. I just use it for the alarm, listen the news in the morning while i get ready to work and some music once in a while. So far it’s been great and everyday i founf new things it can do

easy set up and easy to use just say a few lines so it knows your voice play music ask weather, any thing turn on and off alarms , washer dryer light you name it just talk to Google

We actually have 4 of these little things and 1 Google Home. They are awesome. They seamlessly integrate into our household set up and are a perfect addition to any home. Each of my kids (6 & 9) have one and they love it. We were able to set up kid accounts for them and they use them as alarm clocks, they listen to music with them and they are able to ask Google questions. Totally worth it, highly recommend.

Another great deal and purchase from Best Buy. This item is great to be used in the bedroom where it doesn’t take much room on a night table. Great to be used as an alarm and to wake up to your favorite music. Also great to find out what the day will bring in weather by just asking Google or to find out if your favorite sports team won or lost while you were sleeping. Another good investment and extremely easy to set up.

Bought two of the minis after a great experience with the larger unit. These are perfect for bedrooms, studies etc. Good voice recognition from such a small unit and quality sound

This little speaker packs a punch it has good sound for its size and is a great addition to your home automation network. I have this one in my Kitchen and works perfectly when I want to add things to my shopping list or just listen to some music as I clean up.

I have both the Alexa and Google Home products as well as their respective smaller versions. The Google home mini is a great tool that doesn't clash too much with your home decor. Although the speaker is not as loud as the original home, it has every functionality as the original google home. It also has touch sensors on top of the speaker for volume control but you can just ask the mini to reduce the volume. I really see no fault in this product and while it is on sale this holiday season, I wouldn't mind getting one for each bedroom and bathroom. I would get the bigger versions for larger spaces such as the living room or kitchens.

Google has been improving their AI assistant each year over the competition of Siri or Amazon Alexa. This Google Home Mini is great for quick information or being used along with your smartphone. Google's machine learning is 2nd to none and the more you use it the better the results get. I would recommend these for those people who want to jump in the home space but don't want to pay $79-$100 for the bigger Google Home. I bought this around Christmas time when they had great promo's for only $25 plus a BB gift card. The kids love it and use it to ask questions all the time.

I have plenty of Amazon Echo devices, from the dot to the show, and wanted to try Google Home. One of the first things I noticed, when you ask Alexa about, for example, grocery stores that are still open, Alexa will just give you a list of popular stores in your zip code. Google on the other hand will give you stores based on how far away they are from you, and even send directions to your phone. You can even ask about how long it will take to get there with current traffic. Alex does have more tie-ins with 3rd party apps, but the main ones I use like harmony remotes, nest thermostat, hue lights, LIFX lights and my smart things hub. Also I have the ability to chromecast stuff to my chromecast devices with the google home. the speaker is ok, like Amazon's dot not something id buy for extended music listening, but I just chromecast my music to my speakers and it works great for that.

I use this speaker to tell me the weather in the morning, or to tell me how my commute to work is. It sounds great for such a small speaker, I use it also to listen to Spotify.

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the Google Home Mini - a lot of customers did the leg work in comparing Google Home to competitors in the market, and it won out in technology and features. I purchased it based on reviews, but also to fit in with the other technology features in my home - not all home assistants are made equal, and they're not all universal with other technologies yet either. So plan what you already have and what you might install in the future for your smart home (ie., lighting, thermostat, sound bar/television, etc.). We are very pleased with the Google Home Mini - it has great range and amazing sound!

I've been using an Amazon Echo Dot for the past 4 months and I think when compared to the Google Home Mini, each device has its own pros and cons. The speaker on this unit definitely sounds a lot louder. Ideal to use in a small room. Its also great if you have a Google Play Music or Youtube Music/Red subscription. I use it primarily to play music/sounds when going to bed, setting alarms/reminders, and controlling my smart home enabled gadgets. At this price it will be a great gift idea for the holidays.

I have both Google Home and Amazon Echo Dot. I also have a Harmony Hub and several smart home devices. I love the smart home integration and once you activate lights and your entertainment center with your voice, good luck going back. For now, the Echo has better integration with my smart home, but once Google Home catches up, I will be switching to Google. The speaker is amazingly loud when playing music I also have an echo dot and I loved it but the speaker is not very loud the first time I told my Google home mini to play music from my Spotify and I turn the volume all the way up I was blown away buy how good it sounded.

Bought this for my 14yr old daughter as Christmas gift and am pleasantly surprised with the sound quality even at full volume. It’s still clear and crisp with no distortion.

Google home mini is great! Much better at answering everyday questions tharn Alexa. It easily integrates with my other devices and controls lights, plugs, thermostat Etc....

Way better than Amazon ECHO. Good Quality of Speaker. I don't need to repeat any request unlike ECHO. It would be more better in coming days as more apps associate with it.

Bought this on black Friday. It is pretty neat. I mostly use it for playing music on spotify and having it look up information for me. The size is great and it has come in handy on many occasions. I plan on purchasing other devices that connect with it.
