Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just could not pass these up since they were on sale. Great sound, easy setup and just cool!

Great price for this smart tech device. Compatible with my Apple phone and smart home devices.

This is a great item at a great price. Volume is much louder than expected when playing music.

I've mainly used this to interact with my Smart Home appliances (Nest thermostat, Leviton smart light switches, Lifx lighting...) and Chromecasts. There are several commands I'll say that the Google Home doesn't recognize, but I'm certain it's just a matter of learning the keywords to throw at it. We already purchased our second one for another room in the house, and will likely buy at least 2 more before we're done.

Great item to have around! Listens to you and responds. Plays pandora, tells jokes its great!

Figured it would just be a nice additional speaker for the house, but now I find myself using it for everything! Setting alarms, questions, spotify music, drive time, Google home does it all. And it picks up my voice from across the house (which is honestly a bit creepy) but there is a physical toggle switch to turn the mic off. The speaker is good quality too even for a mini! Thinking of buying more for other rooms!

Just the right size for my bedstand. Sound is great and just as easy to us as my Google home.

I started out with an Echo and when it seemed to malfunction constantly, they exchanged it for the new Echo Plus. Not much of an improvement, but I like having voice control of my smart home, Then, I decided to try an Echo dot, (for another floor of my home) which is about the same level as this Google Mini. However, after going through 2 of them, neither of which I could hear (nor could it hear me), I returned them and decided to try Google Mini instead. WOW, what a difference, not just in the sound, but in the quality of response from the device. It almost seems to have a personality...lol, which I think is adorable. But it also is more interactive. It responds better and more often. I do not hear "I'm not sure about that", near as often. None of these devices are where they eventually will get to, but between the 2 of these companies, I would definitely say that the Google product is better than Amazon's. And considering Google started two years later creating their product and seem to be better than Amazon already, I am sure this is the product that will win the AI race. The only thing Google still needs is to put a HUB inside one of their products, so you don't need to buy that separately also, like Amazon did with their Echo. If they do that, then I will go completely with the Google products. However, as I need a HUB, I still have my Echo Plus along with my Google Mini. But I do recommend the Google Mini and if you don't have any smart devices that require a HUB, then definitely go with the Google products.

So glad that Google came out with this version of a Google Assistant device. I already have 2 Google Home devices (on my main level and in my basement). I bought 5 of the mini devices. So, now I can use the Google Assistant anywhere in my house. Oh, and by the way, you can link all of these speakers together and can act like a home speaker system. I'm going to see if they can work as an intercom system as well...

Works well in the kitchen small enough to not take a whole lot of room. Works as described.

Simple and easy to use. Truly a great little device, and honestly not a bad speaker at all!

Out of the box and set up in minutes. Very easy! Can be used with smart Home devices such as WeMo so I can have my lights on and off down stairs when I want them to be. Also helpful for weather and traffic when I’m getting ready for work. I usually start my day off with a joke so it’s always fun to be begin the day with a chuckle.

We use the device in our bedroom and we find it very useful with alarms and playing music.

Love the sound of the speaker on this. Creates loud noise from such small compact speaker.

I have it in the kitchen. It was easy to set up / plug and play / join network / sync with my iPhone 8. It is very helpful as it can answer random questions and actually works! I use it as a calculator, timer, reminder, etc. It streams music. A great feature is it recognizes voices and answers questions accordingly, e.g., what’s on my calendar. Streams weather and news. Overall impressive for a mini speaker!

For $29 very good sound quality and Google Assistant is really interesting & intelligent.

Amazingly small with a big punch. Detects very quietly spoken words, and responds quickly

I have an echo, and 3 dots in my house. I bought this during the black Friday deal to try it out. It actually fares better than the dot in sound quality. I am too invested into the echos at this point to switch over. I ended up giving this to my parents who are 60 years old. I also bought them a few smart plugs. They love it and use it every day for music as well as turning on and off their Christmas lights

Controls are easy to use. Setup is very simple with a downloaded app. All over, I'd give this little device very high marks for an early AI machine...

Great. I have set up to turn on and off lights and play music throughout the house in sync with home minis. Its good to use as a timer or alarm clock.
