If you just have the Google Home Mini you will be very pleased. Especially if you use it to get information, make lists, setting dates, woking it into your Home Automation, etc...
If you have an Amazon Echo you will be pleased with the answers Google gives as it is way better at it. However if you are building a smart house and you would like to make things happen with your voice the Echo is just plain better at it. I am sure Goggle will catch up but it still has a ways to go.

Move over Alexa

When I was looking to buy something like this last year, Alexa was the clear winner. However, I came to find out that Alexa was somewhat restrictive in its use. I saw the Home Mini advertised on TV and was very impressed by what it could do- so I ordered one. Believe me , it did not disappoint. I bought it primarily for use in my 13 yearold son's room. The feature I like best is ttthat it responds to my voice, as well which makes things easier to access when he falls asleep.

Very good product, has answers for most questions and very small and sleek. Room for improvement of course, but for $30 it is very worth it. Makes a very good Christmas gift as well!

I've had the Amazon Echo Dot since the first generation, and I've loved it. Still do, in fact. But I also love the Google Home Mini. Both are great, inexpensive personal assistants, but they also have their respective pros and cons. Generally speaking, they do almost all of the same things, and at current holiday price point of $30 are a great deal. The one aspect of the Google Home Mini that I love compared to the Echo Dot is the vastly superior speaker. That said, I really wish it had an aux out. But since the speaker is much better, that isn't a huge gripe for me. Overall, it's a great personal assistant, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Smartest of all AI assistants

As a former sales employee at Best Buy, I know a thing or two about these products. As far as compatibility is concerned, the Google platform will pair with just about any major brand of smart home tech you can find. This speaker will also generate the most feedback for questions asked when compared to any other AI platform on the market. The setup and use of the Google Home ecosystem will take you a few hours to get it perfect, but it's well worth the time put into it. As for the actual customer service and feedback, I was blown away. Yesterday (6/27/2018) there was a worldwide outage for some of the Google Home platform. I assumed that this was a software bug and it was, so I didn't even contact anyone assuming they would patch it. And they did, within half a day. What really made me feel compelled to write this was that Google contacted me, without any reason to, regarding the outage, and clarified what happened. All in all I got to hand it to Google, for being the premier AI system and for being a world innovater. 10/10 AK

I have both a Google Home and Google Home mini. The sound quality of the mini is fine. Music sounds good enough for something that small, better than my bluetooth speaker the same size. Podcasts sound pretty good. For some reason, I find the response time on the mini faster than on my Home. My only complaint is they disabled the top tap feature, which means I have to vocally stop it every time. But rumor is that it will be reinstated, so I am not too concerned.
