Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a late adopter of this whole connected home / IOT stuff, but I have to say that this item is fun. Right now it is more of a novelty, but I do see how it will become more integrated in our lives as we use it.

I bought this before Christmas when it was on sale for $29. I also own an Echo Show and a regular Echo (1st Generation). Having Chromecast, the Home Mini really shines. Being able to call up Youtube videos and Netfix by voice is incredibly convenient. The Mini is also better at answering general questions. However, I give the nod to the Echo Show for playing music (especially as an Amazon Prime member), recipes, pictures, timers and lists. Having a relatively non-smart home, I can't comment one way or another on that aspect. I would definitely be more inclined to buy the Home Mini at the sale price. Overall, a great product, and my 5-year old granddaughter loves it!

One of the must have electronic item for every household. I have connected my smart plug and vizio sound bar and it all works so great. Planning to buy more google home mini and connect across room in my house..

Excellent voice control, Very good Internet connectivity, So I fired my Amazon Echo and hired Google Mini, Very easy setup

Google mini is very helpful and can also be a lot of fun. It manages your calendar, tells you the weather forecast and you can do a google search by saying "hey google". You can also stream music and play games.

This is a great product easy to use and durable great sound. I’m very satisfied.

I got this on a whim. It’s seems fairly ‘intelligent’ and good at contextualizing questions. I like the looks too. Unobtrusive. Like it so much I bought the regular Google Home and will take this to the office.

It's so easy to use, easy to set up, plays really loud for a little speaker, a nice device to have in your home

We have had this google mini installed in our kitchen. Firstly to set the google mini you need to download the google home app and follow the setup instructions, this is common of many electrical products. The set up did seem to take a long time but this could of been down to my internet connectivity rather than the app itself. The google mini needs to be plugged in at all times, It would of been nice if the cable colour matched the device to blend it in more as the white cable stands out on our black worktops and the actual plug is bulky but this is personal preference and doesn't affect the product. We have been very impressed with the google minis 'understanding' it never fails to answer or perform the task requested regardless of who has asked it, woman, man, or child. As a speaker I don't think the sound quality is as good as other speakers on the market but that said other speakers don't remind you to make a packed lunch or tell you how long to cook roast parsnips for. We haven't got Spotify or googleplay which are the main music platforms supported by the voice activation but it is simple to pair your phone or table via Bluetooth to play music. You can request it plays radio stations for you without the need for a secondary device nearby if you don't use the above mentioned platforms. There is so much this device can do and we haven't even begun to fully utilise it yet, what we have done is; -Stored shopping lists on it so when you've got dirty hands cooking and use the last of something you can add it to the shopping list straight away without forgetting - Kitchen timer, you can ask it how long is left on the timer too - New and weather updates specific to you're local area or wherever else you request - Recipes - Radio - TImer My 9 year old has particularly enjoyed some of the fun features like beat boxing, trivia games and getting the answer to his maths homework. This is a fun family gadget.

Amazing product, I love it , works with my lights and tv and everything, just say hey google and the magic happens! Really fun to use, would definitely recommend this for a beginner on the way to a smart home.

I added one of these in each of the rooms to play music. Also they work well with the hue lights and tv.

Great little item. Good sound for such a tiny speaker. Very easy to set up and much better looking than the Amazon unit.

I put my Mini in the kitchen, and it's been a great help. I also have the Google Home main unit, and it's really helped to have the Mini so I don't have to yell in hopes that the Home will hear me ask it a question or set a timer. Connecting it with the pre-existing Home was super easy. It gets great sound and is usually really fast. It's had some wifi connection issues since day 1, but I suspect this is because the kitchen is distant from my modem & there are walls to interrupt the signal. Lately there's been some data package issues with all Google Home devices that makes your wifi shut down, so my Homes are pretty useless right now until Google releases a fix.

All of these devices are pretty slick and the AI and IoT is pretty amazing. Chose the google device simply because of my positive experience with chrome cast vs fire stick. Decided to stick with google on it.

Easy use and gets Spotify songs very easily. Used for Hue lighting and works great. For background music is perfect

It was a good little speaker with more sound power than I expected it also was an easy setup.

I bought this a gift for myself. I truly like it. I use it for daily news, alarm clock. Its tied to my google calendar.

Awesome addition to all the google home family for a smarter home, nice looking, small and loud.

I purchased this Google Home Mini as a gift for my sister. She says she loves it and that my nieces like to ask it silly questions all day. I feel like their enjoyment of uses the product equates a 5/5 star.

I purchased this item about 12 months after buying an Amazon Echo, and I have to say I'm impressed. They are basically identical in their function, which means both items are awesome. The price is a bargain.
