    Light, great sound inside or out. Keeps track of the genre I last played and I say, "Ok Google, play music," it will play the last genre I requested. Simply love it. I now have several in my house.

    So easy to use! Love that I don't have to search for my phone or sit down at my computer to get an answer to a general question. Need to spend some more time figuring out the features, but, so far, so great!

    It is really amazing all you can do with it. Not only playing music but many things. I believe it will grow very fast. I have a combination of this small device together with a couple of the big one covering all my house.

    I was skeptical at first but I love my Google Home mini! I'm able to get answers to most questions quickly and I even rely on her for my morning alarm. If your feeling a little down she will also sing and tell jokes!

    This is my 4th google home product. This one is in our baby room. This wonderful thing turns off/on the lights. Plays thunderstorm sounds for white noise and reads Harry Potter books to soothe the baby.

    I was disappointed that the Phillips hue generation 1 is not supported. It works fine but it did not meet my needs.
