Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this in conjunction with a Chromecast. I've been using it with apple products (iphone 6s, ipad mini 2, and macbook pro). Overall, it works really well and haven't noticed compatibility issues. However, I wish that other music apps could connect, particularly Tidal. If you have a Spotify premium membership, then it would be a lot more fun for music control.

My wife and I were looking into getting a smart speaker / home assistant, and were between this one and the other major brand (that rhymes with "malexa / mamazon"). We decided on this one, and to be honest, it is better than I expected in terms of sound volume and quality for such a small device. Google might still have a way to go with some of the tasks as "malexa", but it will only get better and is a good starter speaker / assistant to try it out, get hooked and then need a bigger / better one. These are also insanely cheap, so ok. certainly worth it.

I was quite impressed with this little device. Set up was quick and simple. Small and compact but the speakers are quite loud. Perfect size for a small office.

I am quite impressed with this little gadget. I already have an Amazon echo Dot which I really like, but I must confess that I like the home mini even more. It is so intuitive, and you can have a conversation with it like a normal assistant (for the most part)

Price is good, but this might be too much for the house. Everytime a tv commerical for Google comes up my chrome mini starts talking. Gets annoying after awhile. It's more intuitive than Echo.. and I can control my lights, temperatures, and other smart home with this, even though they are also set up with Echo. This might be good in the car. Will be trying it

Easy to use Very reasonable price enjoy the music light Voice command

Let me start by saying I've been using Google assistant for some time now on my phone. Well now you don't need your phone you can say a command and turn your home lights on, or play music, or ask it anything, it learns there more you use it! Must buy at 29.99

Saw an ad on TV that piqued my curiosity especially given the price point. Did some homework on the product and given how techie my family is the mini instantly became a Christmas gift. Absolutely perfect that will be fun, novel and useful. Would recommend

We love the Google mini, we placed it upstairs and it does everything our Google Home does and is so much fun for the whole family! From using it to track Santa Clause to going step by step over recipe instructions I really cannot imagine life without it!

Yes, it's not perfect yet, but it will eventually be another tool that we can't remember life before it like the cell phone or DVR. I'm already talking to it way more than I thought I would have. The unexpected uses, like finding your cell phone, jeep piling up, and they are adding other things all the time. Just wish there was a shorter phrase to activate.

Already have alexa, but i figure we try with chromecast, and we love it. Better sound. Had fun asking gh to turn on tv and play netflix and youtube. Also made fon calls and ordered pizza. Check youtube for vids on how to use, but turn off gh mic 1st -lol.

I love the size of the mini. It is not conspicuous in a room however, what it lacks in size, it gives up in convenience. The hands free option in the kitchen enables me to ask questions while cooking, time food, all while listening to my choice of music.

I have the google home in my living room and love it so much I had to get the mini for my bedroom. The alarm is very pleasant to wake to and she takes care of my tv and lights very nicely as well.

Picked up the Mini to have Google assistant in other rooms in the house. Easy to set up, and discreet. Use mostly to play music, check the weather, and gives reminders. Would recommend to those who are google users.

Started small but very impressed with how many commands I can use. Great sound but lacking bass. But then again for only $29.99 sounds better than some Bluetooth speakers with way less features. A must buy if an Android user. Would be a wonderful gift.

I bought the google home mini to control my hue lights and it worked so well i bought several more for Christmas presents. Its great to set alarms,timers,play music,ask questions about the weather,traffic.i would definitely recommend these to friends.

We have a Google Home for our downstairs, and I love listening to music on it while doing stuff around the house downstairs. We decided to get the smaller version for our upstairs because we liked it so much! The sound is better than expected as well!

When Best Buy included it with my pixel pre-order I didn't know if I would ever use it. After hooking it up I was really surprised at how easy it was to use and how often I ask it questions now.

Plug it in and go...it runs you through the setup easily. I'd give it 5 stars if I didn't have a concern about privacy. It's basically constantly listening to you unless you physically switch off the mic - at which point it's really useless. Still, it works as it should as a hands free helper. I use it for weather updates and music for the most part.

Love this. My son is helping us make our home a little smarter and a little more efficient. This Google Home Mini is the start of something pretty awesome. Will definitely be buying another one in the near future to place in other parts of the house.
