    "Hey Google" All Day Long

    I purchased a Google Home Mini for both of my kids, and they each have a new best friend. From alarm clocks and reminders in the morning, music and instant access to answers throughout the day, games that are truly entertaining, and a nighttime routine that lulls them to sleep, both kids have made "Hey Google" the most common phrase in our household.

    I was skeptical of getting a smart home device, because I didn’t see the use of it. Now I’m addicted. It is so nice to be able to walk around and ask google questions or to play music or to turn the lights on. We got a smart thermostat too so I can be under the covers upstairs and ask google to turn the temp up without having to get up.

    This is a great product, set it up with your phone or tablet and start talking. Sound quality is great. I like that you can change voices. It is nice too that the voices sound realistic and not like they are computerized. Works with chrome cast but is limited on services, I would recommend using chrome cast with your phone or tablet till Google makes them more integrated.

    This is amazing. I love that it can broadcast messages and make calls. It’s not even the highest model and does a lot. We use it for timers, online searches, listening to music and calendar searches. It’s great for so much. We haven’t even learned all the extra things it does yet and are excited to find more ways.

    google home mini vs alexa echo dot

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had the echo dot for over a year before I bought the google home mini. I bought it because sometimes I'll ask Alexa questions that I'll have to google because it doesn't know the answer. But as time went on Alexa has been improved and can answer a whole lot more than when I originally bought it. I ask both of them the same questions and they pretty much give me the same answers. Maybe google will give a little more details but so far there has only been a couple of questions that google knew over Alexa. But if you have prime Alexa is the choice hands down. They have tons of free music and if you have a fire stick or tv tons of free movies as well. So if you don't have prime, google is the way to go. It can connect to bluetooth devices, control smart devices, deliver custom news feeds, set up calendars, make lists, tell jokes, sing songs and play games just the same as the echo dot. I like the Alexa app and the google home app is pretty good also. The big difference is amazon prime. I don't subscribe to any google services other than gmail and youtube but it seems like you can utilize the google drive to upload music and play it through the google mini. I have done this with Alexa. I have bought albums on Amazon and some have digital mp3's of the album that you can stream at anytime off of the dot. You can favorite playlists on Amazon and both can play from pandora and spotify just the same. So there you go if you have prime the Amazon devices are for you if not google will allow you to do all the same things as the Alexa devices.

    Got Google Mini, because my sister-in-law had one, and I saw what this little gadget could do. We leave the dog home and in a crate when we are gone. ask Google to play our favorite radio station and it streams the music for the dog to listen to while are gone. Ask forecast or weather and it responds right away, even ask it to tell you a joke!!

    I bought this as a gift for my parents, who aren't very tech savvy. I had to set it up for them, but once it was setup, they were able to use with ease.

    Great product. My teenagers have it set to turn lights on at a certain time. They can set reminders for their chores and school assignments. My con: as a mother: they set voice recommendation so I can't leave them reminders. They definitely like it more than the other brand-they gave that one to me. Items also arrived in plenty of time for Christmas, shipping was very good.

    I purchased this after having enjoyed using the larger Google Home. In no way does the mini sacrifice any range when using it, which is impressive.

    Is a great practical and useful tool. Was an economic buy especially on black Friday. Can place it in almost any room and it will turn on and off electronics, set alarm, set up a good night routine, answer questions, will really do anything that Google can do. If for some reason you stump it, it will apologize and explain to you that it is still learning.

    While it may not be perfect, it is helpful in many ways. The shopping list feature is great for my young kids to tell us when we run out of something.
