This is now my second google home mini that I have and I can't say enough good things about it. Honestly would i have two of them if I didn't like it. I can listen to music, set alarms, timers, get news, and also see what my day has in store for me. You can also control lights and other smart featured from the Google Home and they keep adding new features all the time.

Already was using Google Home in the family room, bought Google Home Mini for the Master Bedroom. I have it integrated with Smartthings, Chromecast and Nest. Enjoying the lights, TV and thermostat control via voice as a bonus in addition to using the smartest home speaker in the market with new features being added automatically transparently with software updates. So many features yet to try like phone calling, intercom, shopping etc. Put this system together after a lot of indepth research and have no second thoughts about it, very satisfied about the system.

The Minis are an affordable means to add Google Assistance throughout your house. Still needs a lot of development but the basics are there with promising potential and transparent software upgrades as enhancements roll out continruously. We have 2 Homes, 3 Mini's, and 3 Chromes throughout the house (paired with Android phones and other home automation products). The Mini's have surprisingly good volume but get the Home if you want quality music playback. But, the Mini can add voice controls to entertainment systems already in place (paired with Google Chrome).

Managed to link my Google Home Mini with other devices. They work together extremely well! Google Home acts as a very helpful assistant by itself too!

Hands down the Google Mini is superior. It will search the web to find you an answer to a question. Alexa doesn't. I wanted to know how much it cost to ride a cable car in San Francisco. Alexa was stumped. The Google Mini searched the web and gave me a very complete answer and even told me the hours the cable cars operated.The Google Mini calls me by my name and works seamlessly with my Samsung Galaxy Note. I have to say that I am quite impressed by the well rounded usefulness of the Google Mini. Poor Alexa will play our Amazon Music because its tied to it, but little more than that now that Google Mini is here. If I were to compare speakers I'd say they sound about the same. The larger Echo by Amazon does sound better than the Google Mini, but that's not a fair comparison.

It’s amazing what it can do for u! Change your channel, listen to white noise, play ur Spotify playlist on ur surround sound speakers. It can remember ur fav colors, read u the news and it speaks to ur other devices at home.

For the size and price you cannot beat this gadget. Great sound and super easy to set up and use. Mic is awesome haven’t had any issues with distance

This is my first smart home speaker. I started with Philips hue color lights all over. It’s so much easier to control my lights now with just my voice. I can control many of my chrome cast ready devices and speakers. Everything just seems to work. You do have to play around with the google home app and get to know the ecosystem to get the most out of it. I will definitely be gettting another one in the future. One negative thing I’d say is that there Is only one speaker and when I’m playing fairly loud music on my sound system, the google home mini just won’t hear me. I have to yell sometimes which is a bit absurd.

So easy to set up. Just plug in the power and tap Google home on your phone. Google will ask a few easy questions from there and you are done. It is very responsive to my voice and usually understands my request correctly. However...when I wanted to add my other devices that were not made by Google, I discovered that I had to install the other company's app and then link Google home to it. I tried to do that on my Windows 10 desktop only to discover that Google home app is not available for PC version not even running in tablet mode. So now I have 4 different smart home apps on my phone that was already starved for memory.

Great device. Very easy to use with my Android TV's and my Nest thermostat. Look forward to buying more products that are compatible with this unit.

It's a clever design small and it sounds good, fit in a small space. There is a rubber in the bottom make sure it not vibrate and stay in one place.

The product is great. Compact, beautiful, and well built. The speaker quality is great and paired well with the google assistant. Good buy at $29.99

I'm very happy about the Google home assistant. I linked it to a smart-plug that allows me to turn a bedside lamp on and off by voice, it controls my TV via a Chromecast and it even wakes me up in the morning with news recaps I chose and interesting facts. It gets updated pretty often. I thought it was missing a feature to create custom commands to trigger several actions, it has been added few days after I bought it! I can now say "Hey google, I'm going to sleep" and the assistant will stop playing movie/music, shutdown the TV and turn the lights off!

Great for listening to music in the bathroom! Loud and responsive even when water is running.

I have been looking at this mini smart speaker for quite a long time for use in my bedroom. The weekend of Father's day I bought it and tried it out and really liked it, playing music it sounded very nice at half volume and late at night using very low volume it sounded very thin like an AM radio on a station that is just on the edge of being received, kind of squeaky and irritating. But while I had been looking up the Google speakers here on Best Buy I saw their bundling offers so the next day I went back to the store and tried out some of the competitors that still used Google Assistant that were in stock on display and ended up buying the Google Home and this Google Mini. It has worked very nicely, I use the mini in my home gym where I can use it at half volume and the Google Home sounds great at any volume for placement wherever you'd like as long as the room isn't too large and you can connect them together to use somewhat like an intercom and a lot of other useful things, a seemingly endless list and often growing list. It listens very well, I haven't had to repeat myself or had a request misunderstood yet. I'm glad I finally bought these. I previously used Window's smart system and either I wasn't smart enough or it didn't do what I needed it to do.

Well I admit no kidding I made fun of friend who recently got the full sized version. Like what use could that really be. After few days and seeing these on sale for $30 I grabbed one. It is beyond handy to have around , so much so couple days after that I bought one for the bedroom as well. Timers, light control, quick math or conversions. For it's sale price everyone should have one , no joke. I use it several times a day for legit reasons. No gimmicky fun things all real world practical uses. I even after buying my two bought one for a friend.

the google home mini is the same as the normal one but a smaller speaker. Speaker works just fine and is a much better buy than the normal home.

Good looking home assistant. Speaker not bad for being such a small device. Found it easy to set up.

This is a perfect way to start out in the Google ecosystem if you plan on switching from a different ecosystem this is the way to go this speaker isn't too expensive and has great sound, it responds to commands and is not to big like said it's perfect way to start a new system or just adding some cool teck to your house or apartment

Still getting used to talking to it but very easy to use and install, works great with other smart devices and easy to get it all connected.
