Customer Ratings & Reviews

The sound quality on the mini is better than I expected. I enjoy using this product to listen to the latest news and weather updates and to google search things quickly.

I've been using the Alexa ecosystem in our house for 3-4 years, and we're all pretty used to it. On a whim I decided to try a couple of home minis when the were on sale to compare. The voice recognition and answer response is far better than with Alexa, in my opinion. If it weren't for the difficulty in training the family to switch to a new vocabulary, I'd probably ditch all of my Alexas and go with the Google Home system.

I purchased the Echo Dot last Christmas and was left disappointed by it. Google Home Mini is easily more useful with links to your Google account. We use the shopping list quite a bit and it's also great for reminders, calendar events, or just asking questions. It works much better than Echo for all of those tasks.

I like the device, since I was finally able to find it at Best Buy, I looked for it on Amazon, before I found out that the two companies are at war with each other and won't list the competitor's devices, or services.....

I’ve used Alexa and HomeKit for a while to control devices in my house for a while now. Decided to give the mini a chance. Overall, happy with the connected google world and the ability to get a “smarter” response to requests but setting up connected devices isn’t as straight forward as the other devices out there.

Very easy to use, quickly to set up, good sound. Multi language feature making easy to use with all ages and cultures

Compact size with great sound plus it turns lights before you walk in the room. Hey Google is my new favorite phrase.

The greatest gift ever. It was easy to set up. Mostly use for music, but has games too.

Very easy to use, very easy to set up, and very entertaining with the google assistant. Also has a pretty good speaker for music

Great way to get the smartest voice assistant. Google assistant is easy to use and the Google Home Mini sounds great.

Lots of things are in need of improvement, for example the calendar function will only read 3 appointments at a time, can't get others on the same day until the first ones are passed. Also, it won't announce them as they approach, only as you ask. Other things are also not quite there. But not bad for the price.

Somehow I continue to increase the number of Google devices in my small condo. They are all easy to install and all work seamlessly with the phone and with each other. This particular device is in the kitchen and provides answers mostly while I'm cooking. It is also close enough to the dining room table to provide answers to my girlfriend, who is still working from home. I love having a smart home!

Convenient, small and stylish. We bought this for our nest doorbell to alert us inside the house. Works great.

Call local or any number from this device is awesome... OKG, call mountain mikes pizza.. then it calls the nearest mountain mike's pizza where I can make orders lol.. save a couple of minutes looking for the number haha

Great device I have Amazon Echo and Dots and Google Home. I recommend buy one of these and a dot if possible. Alexa may have a slight edge in home automation and calendaring, but for everything else I find google home to be superior. Also with google you can now issue two commands at once which is pretty cool.

Google Home works great downstairs, so we added Google Home Minis upstairs. All of the same great features, but now the units are linked in a group and the whole house is covered. Control any or all from each location.

Better than my Alexa for me. I can be washing the dishes and ask Google Home Mini to cast my YT vids and Netflix shows to my Chromeast without drying my hands,etc. I imagine after Christmas more apps will do the same.

The Google Home mini is a good assistant to have at home. It annoys me when it starts talking randomly, but, other than it, it works perfectly and is great to play music!

I would have enjoyed something more Jarvis from Iron Man, but for what it is, it's practical and user-friendly. Maybe it will take a few years to increase the quality of this device, but until then, it's still useful.

This little thing is so much fun and so full of information I can't get enough of it and I've only scratched the surface. Can't wait to really get to the nuts & bolts of this thing. "Where have you been all my life?"
