    I love this little device! It's a versatile device that can answer thousands of inquiries, set reminders, play music from Spotify, Google music, and Pandora (it also has a very good speaker), play sounds of nature and the radio. It can also help with cooking recipes in the kitchen. You can pair it with Chromecast, and ask it play any video on youtube, or a movie and tv show on Netflix. I could go on and on, I really love this device! Its a great value for $30!

    I noticed when I request something specific like Wiki entry it gives me exactly what I ask for, yay. But if I ask a general question like "tell me the show times at xyz theater" it will only give me the next showtimes and not all the show times. The Echo gives all the show times. I still have not had it long but I couldn't figure out how to get it to give me all the show times for a particular movie for a particular theater. This seems essential in using this kind of assistant. Since this is just a software issue I am hoping it improves. Love the low profile and the charcoal color...wish it came with a black cord and not a white one.

    I purchased a Pixel 2 smartphone from the Google Store and got a free Google Home Mini as part of their initial sales promotion. Set it up and hooked it up to some Phillips Hue light bulbs and my Harmony Hub remote on my TV as I begin my journey into the smart home. First Mini was placed upstairs. Liked it so much I purchased a 2nd one for downstairs. Debating whether I should purchase one more for the master bedroom. Great device and pretty easy to set up!

    Good smart speaker but not perfect

    Google has several things going for this tiny smart speaker. The sound quality is much better than on the Alexa mini devices however it doesn't have the ability to connect an external speaker via a plug or Bluetooth which is a big detraction. There is also no comparison between the Smart's of Google Assistant versus Alexa's very limited responses and knowledge when it comes to answering questions. However the Alexa assistant, in my opinion, is better at controlling smart home devices. Give Google a little time and they will catch up and probably surpass Amazon. For now if you want a better sounding mini smart speaker that can answer your random questions more accurately stick with the Google mini but if your main concern is controlling your smart home then the Alexa Mini is it better return on your investment. As a side note I own six Alexa Minis and two Google Minis and have put them head-to-head so my assessment is accurate.

    So when I first bought this I thought like most people that I had no use for it, but since it was on sale for $29 plus you got a 10 gift card instantly I figured why not if anything It will be my new bluetooth speaker. Well, I got it home and set it up and immediately realized this thing was going to be used all the time. Since then I've used it morning noon and night and don't see anything that gonna slow me down. Just buy it you won't be disappointed,.

    I got this on black Friday. Perk was the $10 gift card it came with. This is way smarter than the echo dot. It basically has better response and answers alot better than alexa saying I am still learning... YouTube works great with Google home mini. The speaker is louder and listening to my Spotify Playlist is easy. I don't really need an extra speaker. App is so easy to use. I loved this so much that I bought 5 more. Christmas and birthday gifts!!!
