The Google home mini is fantastic for your smart home. It is small and discreet while still packing a decent speaker and endless knowledge.

Bought this to accompany the regular Google Home, but it could work well on its own. Good sound, easy to use, color fits well with decor.

I got the mini to sample the Google Home services. I love it for the price. I got it on sale during Black Friday. I use it to play music while in the kitchen. I can hear it over the sound of frying food or the sink running, which can't be said for my top of the line smart phone. I don't have it integrated into my home since I'm not interested in that yet. She's great at answering questions. When I'm feeling goofy, I ask her what sounds different animals make to watch my dogs tilt their head trying to figure it out. It's fun.

I did not expect the Mini to make me as happy as the Google Home unit, It was substantially less and I assumed it would be limited in several key ways, but I looked forward to the additional coverage in the man cave. I have been so pleasantly surprised! For all intents and purposes, this is offering me the same features that I love about the Home unit. I do know there are some differences, they are very clearly explained in the description, but what I use regularly is packed into this tiny unit and works like a beast! YEAH!

works very well, but when playing music, news and during phone calls it is hard to get it attention; sound quality and volume are good enough considering its size, could be used in any rooms including shower.

When I got it I opened it immediately and set it up. It was easy to set up, you'll just have to download the Google Home app and pair it to your phone. It sounds decent and loud for a mini speaker assistant.

I purchased this to start my home automation journey. I like that I can simply ask it to find various radio stations and to start streaming them. I also like that I can control some home automation devices by speaking to it as well. It's small and compact and does not look like an eye sore sitting out in the middle of the room.

I have been waiting on this particular item since the Google Home was announced last year. The compact and sleek design allow it to easily blend far better than its older brother. I currently now have 2 of them paired with the rest of my Google Cast devices including the Google Home, which has seamlessly integrated and made my home smarter. If you are on the fence regarding assistance, Google is the standard and the price for entry is now more affordable. Once you get one, its hard not to add more to do more!!!

Love this so much better than the Echo Dot. The sound quality is more clear and it seems to understand commands more successfully.

If you love all things Google...

If you love all things Google, then the Google Home Mini is for you.
Owning a Chromecast is definitely something worth purchasing by the way. Not only does it enable the Home Mini to turn your tv on and off for you (cheesy, I know; mind you, I do not own a smart tv!), it can cast anything from Netflix and Youtube by the usage of your voice.
If you're feeling like you're not gaining enough control of the devices, everything you ever need to know is IN YOUR GOOGE HOME settings (both on iOS and Google Play stores).
Setup is incredibly easy, and the device itself is lightweight, portable, and affordable. Teaching adults how to use this device is also very simple (trust me, I would know). Lastly, the volume, is quite incredible and very powerful. adjustments to the volume are easy to control as well.
The ONE thing I would want the Google Home Mini to accomplish is to play the volume from Chromecast when it's enabled on to my television. Even with it's bluetooth capability, it doesn't, but it does with my AppleTV 4th Gen. So please do keep that in mind.
Otherwise, I see a lot of improvements with Google Home Mini in the near future and it's a stellar investment.

We already owned a "full size" Google Home that we utilize on a daily basis in our family room and couldn't resist the Christmas sale price to buy a Mini for each of our bedrooms. From setting timers when we're cooking in the kitchen to listening to all the music in my Google Play library, I can't say enough great things about the versatility of Google Home. It's extremely easy to set up and in my opinion looks better than its competitors. You never knew you needed Google Home...until you get Google Home.

I had another brand device like this and it died on me. So I was walking around the store and came across this Google Mini. It was on Black Friday super sale so I picked one up.
Set up was very easy after I downloaded the Google Home app to my phone. You say a few phrases so it learns to recognize your voice and you're set.
I put this on my nightstand so I can ask it what the weather is like and whats on my calendar for the day. It does a ton of stuff and I'm still learning. But so far I'm pretty impressed by it.
The bigger version is probably the one you want if you want to listen to music. The mini sounds ok for what I want it for.
If they're still on sale I'm going to pick up a few more.

The google home has completely change the way I lazy. With my Chromecast I can cast YouTube and Netflix with my voice, I can turn my tv off and adjust the volume all without leaving the comfort of my blanket fort. I have the Philip hue lights and can have Google turn them on and off to my desires. If you have an android phone you can create some complex triggers with other app plugins and Tasker. Google Home has increased my level of laziness to unimaginable hights. And this isn't even my final form.

Got two of these little guys - one for myself and one for the girlfriend - and we are happy with both of them. The speaker is lacking a bit on the bass side and is not as high quality as my portable bluetooth speaker, but having the voice assistant balances out this weakness. If you're part of the Google ecosystem, the assistant becomes even better and more useful - particularly with the growing pervasiveness of smart home products. Perfect little speaker for on a nightstand in the bedroom.
