Bought a home mini and echo dot at the same time. The home mini has a better speaker and returns better search results, but the echo dot has better mic that picks up your voice better which means I find myself having to repeat myself more with the home mini.

This wonderful device is a great addition to any smart home. What it lacks in sound compared to Google's bigger models it makes up for in convenience. Super simple, super small, super awesome.

The sound quality on this is much better than the second generation echo dot and more comparable to the third generation Echo Dot. Google did a good job bringing this to market.

If you want an assistant at home and have a lot of Google integration in your daily life (Gmail, Hangouts, etc), the Google Home Mini can supplement and make things a bit easier. It's great to be able to verbally tell it to add peanut butter to my shopping list or have it read to me my calendar for the day as I'm preparing breakfast. You can indeed have a semi fluid conversation with it where as the Amazon Echo most of the time requires you to say its wake word. It works great with home automation (smart plugs/switches, smart thermostat, etc).
There are a couple of bugs in it though. Sometimes it will just turn on even though nobody remotely said "Hey Google" or "OK Google." If you turn the volume all the way up and are streaming music to it, it has a tendency to reboot. The device does get fairly warm, so it's a bit of a concern to me since the Echo stays cool to touch. But this is the first generation, so we can only hope it'll get better.

I found google home mini voice recognition better than echodot. However lack of physical buttons make it a bit unclear on things like reducing volume etc. overall a great device.

Great Device, But Room For Improvement

Since getting my Home Mini about a month ago I've really enjoyed using it, and have found many tasks that it makes slightly more convenient. But there is room for improvement - my main gripe is that it will only connect to other devices via Google's Chromecast, not Bluetooth.

This product is very useful in a day-to-day environment. Especially if you have a smart bulb, or other smart devices, they can be easily activated by your voice.

These units are great for spreading around the house for coverage. I have several of these spread out in my house. The unit is small enough to use a wall mount for easy placement.

My family has loved asking Google endless questions. They sometimes ask just to see what she is going to say. Now if I can just keep my daughter from asking for the answers to her homework.

Googlr Mini Home - Fantastic Product

I first bought the Google Mini Home for my wife who is always forgetting her shopping list or needing an extra timer while in the kitchen. They work to set reminders, answer questions, play music and connect to Bluetooth devices. I love being able to say, "OK, Google, play 'This Song' by that artist". I liked so well I plan to purchase two more plus the Google Home Hub and start using smart bulbs. My wife was thrilled and gets a smile telling me while I am away and gets lonely she has someone to talk to!
