Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had both Alexa and Google. Google by far has already surpassed Alexa. I'll do my amazon shopping through the website. Think about it. It's Google compared to Amazon. Hands down great purchase!

i had bought the echo because of its integrations with more systems. I decided to buy this one instead because of the intelligence with natural language. It does not feel like you're giving commands to a computer, it is more natural. I would like it to have compatibility with sonos

Just bought the Google Home Mini and so far I really enjoy it. I'm new to smart home technology and I've felt that this product is a great start for those that want to dabble into smart technology.

I got this so that I could turn off lights & turn on the fan without having to get out of bed. I'm still finding more things to use the google home mini for but it is working how I expected so far.

The Google home mini was easy to set up. I can access my Spotify account and stream radio stations. The sound quality is pretty good for what I use it for.

Speaker sounds pretty good compared to the Amazon Echo. Google assistant is very easy to communicate with and provides several commands. Looking forward to getting another one.

I bought this product after reading some reviews. While I liked Alexa it different offer me the kind of info I needed. Google mini is like having a conversation with Einstein. It knows everything.

This device is easy to set up and use. It plays music and can control smart switches in a house.

I bought these as gifts for my 10 year old and my seventy something mother-in-law. They both had this on their wish list for Christmas. They both seem happy with the product and I love the price.

I've used this for quite a while and have been quite happy with it. I've had zero problems either in setup or operation; have never had to force a reboot by power cycling (though a few storm power losses have). The sound quality for voice (its primary use) is more than adequate. The music sound quality is good - not great - but I'd never expect great sound from such a tiny speaker. Overall well worth the investment.

I recently got this item for myself, and I like it. It's visually very appealing, and the sound quality is decent. It responds to and in multiple languages (I tested out English and Japanese with no problems). It also has a decent mic since it picks up my voice from any part of my room really well. My only complaints are the ways you adjust the volume (picking it up around the sides will mess with the volume) and the fact that it doesn't seem to have a few features that I would think a device like this could handle. Eh. It's a good device overall, and I think it's nice for smart home beginners.

Positives: 1) decent voice recognition - I use this in tandem with another Google Home (the mini is supporting my downstairs and is used with my home theater) 2) Google is adding features and doing more with its Assistant each week 3) love the home control with my August Smart Lock, Phillips Hue bulbs, Logitech Harmony Elite and Chromecast 4) since we already had a Google Home, everything with our profiles came over - sync up was easy Negatives: 1) the speaker is not that great for music and only ok for podcasts/general audio 2) i bought it for $29, but at $50 with a Google Home going for $79, the Home is a better deal

I bought one for my self and my parents. They love how it reminds them to do things. I like it. some times it don't hear you, or it will say something on its own. Other than that it works great.

I bought this as a gift for my father. Ever since I taught him how to use it, he’s been very satisfied with it. He can ask Google anything at all, from the weather, to most of the United States History, Google tells you immediately. Google Home Mini also lets you call friends and family, play music on Pandora and much more. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to give Google Home Mini a try, it is definitely worth it!

So handy. Best thing I have bought in years. Plays my requested music and answers all my questions.

I purchased this to compare with the Amazon dot. I really don't like the placement of the lights as it makes them hard to see as opposed to the very visible ring on the dot. The sound is better in the home mini but the dot connects via bluetooth to any speaker and it has a audio jack to physically plug in a speaker if you want. The actual assistant I found easier to use with the dot so I prefer the dot over the home mini. I also hated having to say "hey google" or "ok google" as the wake up phrase!

These are perfect for the kids rooms. They are small and the voice comes out nice and clear.

It was a gift for my mom and it so easy to use. Great size to fit in the perfect size

I've owned multiple Echo Dots through the years, and they are very good, but the Google system has impressed me more. It seems to be more advanced in understanding different styles of speech. English is my second language, so I speak English with an accent, and sometimes Alexa had issues understanding me. Google seems to have built a more flexible system that allows me to speak to it more freely and haven't had any issues so far.

This thing is like having a hired assistant in your home at all times, she settles arguments, gives recipes, plays great music, can broadcast throughout the home, sets alarms and timers. We use this so much I'll never be able to be in a room in my home again without one. Once you get comfortable speaking to and remembering shes just sitting there for you it'll change the way you live! Also at $29 you really can't go wrong, definitely give this a try.
