Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have four of them and they really help make my life easier. They can control almost everything, lights, locks TV, music, thermostat. It hears you almost all of the time and I've run into very few issues with it overall. I really couldn't ask for a more helpful device. It's even more handy when I found that I could get a battery base for it. I love that I can take it into the bathroom with me and listen to music while I shower or take it outside and listen to music. That's really the only thing I think it was missing.

We have Google Home so for black Friday when these went to $29 we said why not buy one for our bedroom, so glad we did! I love we can put relaxing thunderstorms or ocean sounds on for bedtime! I highly recommend it! This is coming from someone who also owns Amazon Echo ;)

Very useful around my apartment for weather information and setting alarms and playing music. It's a breeze to set up with other Google home devices and Philips Hue system. I've had to reset my Google Home once in order for everything to sync up.

I have the google home downstairs and placed this one in my bedroom. It's a great addition to a smaller room. I mainly use it in this room to turn on/off lights when I am in bed or to play music while I am upstairs working. So, far I am very satisfied with this product.

Google home is not only the better of the 2 now, it's only going to get better. This little device has made my life simpler, not more complicated and that's what happens most of the time when we introduce technology into our life-flow. Google home is the rare exception.

Great item to have around the house! I use it to control my TV and projector, which both have Chromecast devices plugged in. I love the quality of the speaker as well for when I want to play Spotify. It's also handy for finding things like the day's weather and traffic.

Works way better than I expected. Understands almost anything. If they keep on improving the AI behind it, will be even better. Sound quality and level for its site is very satisfactory. Microphone understands even from the other room 30 feet away... Happy buying that...

The Mini works great. Plug it in, set it up, and it's ready to go. Responds quickly to voice commands, and is very intuitive with its responses. Learns over time and is great to have around. Has decent sound quality for the size, and works well as a Bluetooth speaker.

Best buy rewards suck. Hard to actually redeem and it's only 1% so don't waste your time. It's sad that Office Depot has a better rewards system. Oh ya my roommates and I love the home mini it works great and we can now control our hue lights and chromecast with voice

This only took about 10 minutes to setup and that included linking it to my Hue Lights and Honeywell Thermostat. I was able to turn the lights on and off and turn the heat up without any issues. Very easy to use with lots of useful information and also a lot of fun!

For a speaker for 30 bucks how can you go wrong ask it pretty much anything such as the weather, sports, how to spell words and you can have it call contacts from your phone. with Iphone user you have to extract your contacts from icloud into google hard to explain.

This is my second home mini, and a perfect fit for small rooms where you don't need excellent sound quality to travel far. Easily sits out of the way for blending in, and allows for easy control of my hue lights, setting alarms, and piping some music in the bedroom.

Google Home Mini performs the same functions as Google Home and more. The addition of voice recognition of two family members makes it more useful, especially for locating misplaced cell phones. Good value.

I bought the Google mini with hesitation after I kept on hearing about the smart home craze. I ended up loving it because it is Google and also the fact that it can play my music as well is awesome. The only issue i have with the mini is that it sometimes doesn't understand my command to turn off Phillips hue lights in some rooms. Other than that, it is a great product!

I already own 2 of the full size google home assistants. I just got the mini for the kitchen. It's the perfect size so it stays out of sight. It works just as well as the original except the speaker quality for music isn't quite as good but does well for it's size.

My old roommate had a google home and I knew I had to get a google home mini when they released that were making one. This small yet fun device is perfect for people who just want to listen to music, ask questions as they come to mind, or make lists on their phone.

If you don't have one of these you are missing out. I asked my son to ask it a question. What's he ask? When will the Sun die? The answer simply thrilled him. We have one in 3 rooms now. Wish they made one for outdoors. Only Issue. He tries to use it for homework.

Personally, I think this is better than Alexa. The device seems to be more intuitive. I own the Echo and the Dot and I have to say that the Google Home is by far superior. The built-in casting is my favorite part. "Hey Google, cast YouTube to my TV." It's awesome.

I'm very pleased with my Google Home Mini purchase. In fact, I have two of them. I have them paired with my Chromecast Audio so I can play the same music throughout the whole house. I also will use my Google Home Mini to give me news briefings when I get home from work. Plus, I will use Google Home Mini to control my Chromecast, turn my TV on or off, change my Nest thermostat temperature (or tell me what it is currently is set to), as well as play my Nest cameras on my television. The Google Assistant also is friendly and tells jokes. If you want to have fun, just say "I'm feeling lucky"

Color preference is important. But this one and the white one is the same. I have both Alexa and Google home mini. I prefer alexa for certain things, such as playing music from my prime music library and ordering items from amazon, obviously. But Google home can answer way more questions than alexa can. And if you have the play music subscription, even better music.
