    Great sound for music and helps control smart lights. Nice that it is small and discrete and not noticeable out in the open. Would buy again if I need any more.

    I bought some of these as gifts and one for myself. It's a really useful assistant and sounds a lot more human when compared to the voice of Amazon's Alexa assistant. It also has a better speaker and sound quality when compared to Echo dot gen1 and gen2. I mostly use it to turn on/off my TV which has a chromecast connected and also to stream content to my tv. It can also be used as a standalone speaker to play music from internet radio stations or from your spotify account.

    These google home minis are great additions for your bedroom and kitchen. You can broadcast music to all the devices (google home and google home minis) and also broadcast a message to all the devices (or just 1) in the house.

    I like the Google Home Mini. However, having owned both this and the Amazon Echo Dot, I would recommend the Dot. The Google Home Mini is not quite as intuitive when it comes to smart home integration and "skills". Until just recently, there was no easy way to determine exactly what this thing could do, I also experience more disconnects with this than I do with my Amazon Echo Dot. The sound on this speaker is better from the device itself, however it cannot connect to a bluetooth speaker if you intend to listen to it for music. Overall, it's useful, but it's just not there yet.

    We have a Google Home in our living room and bought this for upstairs. Found it is pretty much the same as the Google Home, but missing the dial on the top. Overall it is pretty good, but I do feel like it has had a few more moments where it says it cannot help me or repeat my question than I got from the Google Home.

    Very easy to setup and start using this device right out of the box. Performs above my expectations. I would like the sound to be a little better, but given the size, it still over performs.

    The Google Home Mini is a great device for answering everyday questions and my smart home control devices. Google assistant seems to know more general information than the Amazon Echo Dot, which I have, but the Dot has more specific skills than the Google Home mini. However, Google does seem to be catching up quickly.

    I purchased this to help me out around the house. My grandmother passed away in September and I moved in with my grandfather to help him with day-to-day tasks and to be company for him. Since I'm helping him as much as I can, I needed a little help myself. Enter Google Home Mini. From the minute I set Google up, it has been a lifesaver. From weather forecasts, to recipes, and travel times...Google has helped me out quite a bit. I'm still learning what all Google can do, but so far I am not disappointed one bit.

    Purchased one for myself and played around with it. Disappointed that it cannot turn on Sony Smart TV unless an actual Chromecast is connected. Why would I connect a Chromecast device when the TV has Chromecast built in? Will be buying Harmony Hub instead to control more than just turning on TV with Google Home Mini.

    Google assistant works pretty well. I'm not nuts that I'm being recorded constantly, not that anything I have to say would matter to the police or the like. I'm not impressed with the poor speaker quality and the fact you can't connect an external speaker to it either wired or bluetooth/ This is a pretty major flaw.
