Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great little gadget that can tell you the temperature outside to also commanding it to call you any name you’d like such as King or Queen. Lol you will not be bored with this device. For the price, it’s a steal.

Google Mini is a decent product and provides accurate responses for most of the basic questions. It offers a good speaker output and does recognize voice from a good distance. Definitely worth a buy for $29.99..

We have had this google mini installed in our kitchen. Firstly to set the google mini you need to download the google home app and follow the setup instructions, this is common of many electrical products. The set up did seem to take a long time but this could of been down to my internet connectivity rather than the app itself. The google mini needs to be plugged in at all times, It would of been nice if the cable colour matched the device to blend it in more as the white cable stands out on our black worktops and the actual plug is bulky but this is personal preference and doesn't affect the product. We have been very impressed with the google minis 'understanding' it never fails to answer or perform the task requested regardless of who has asked it, woman, man, or child. As a speaker I don't think the sound quality is as good as other speakers on the market but that said other speakers don't remind you to make a packed lunch or tell you how long to cook roast parsnips for. We haven't got Spotify or googleplay which are the main music platforms supported by the voice activation but it is simple to pair your phone or table via Bluetooth to play music. You can request it plays radio stations for you without the need for a secondary device nearby if you don't use the above mentioned platforms. There is so much this device can do and we haven't even begun to fully utilise it yet, what we have done is; -Stored shopping lists on it so when you've got dirty hands cooking and use the last of something you can add it to the shopping list straight away without forgetting - Kitchen timer, you can ask it how long is left on the timer too - New and weather updates specific to you're local area or wherever else you request - Recipes - Radio - TImer My 9 year old has particularly enjoyed some of the fun features like beat boxing, trivia games and getting the answer to his maths homework. This is a fun family gadget.

We got the standard Google Home last Christmas. We've used it every day since. Seeing the offer for the little guy at Best Buy, I just had to have one. Guess what my wonderful wife is getting, this Christmas...

I am using this device to send voice commands to operate my automated house. It’s easy to configure and I recommend this product who wants to use it around house for more than just voice search, scheduling etc.

This was an addition to our smart home that pairs with a full size Google Home. We love having this one for another room to control our devices. The sound is not great, but that is as expected given the size. It recognizes all the commands we expect and performs well. A very solid entry from Google.

My fiancé loves his Christmas present! We’re still learning how to use it, we’ve never had anything like that before. Lol. It’s a great assistant, can’t wait to get the light bulbs that’s compatible with it.

Very easy setup and initial use. We also needed to purchase the Google Chromecast adapter for our Sony TV to enable the Google Home mini to communicate with it. It should get plenty of use from our household.

Google Home Mini is a great companion to the Google Home Assistant. Picked up a few of these for Christmas presents. Having used a Google Home I am eager to try adding a Mini Home to my home automation setup.

Technically easy to use and set up. Great use for hands free deeds like calling phone #s, weather, look up questions etc without using a phone or computer. Getting all this for $29, a steal for what it does.

I have found more use in this than I had expected. I love it now and expect to become accustomed to it soon. I have been happy with its ability to understand me and complete tasks. I definitely recommend it.

Smarter than Alexa considering it is using google’s search engine. Only set back is no Bluetooth connection. Bargain price when I bought it. Easy to set up.

I found this product to be a little buggy at times. But my overall impression is that it can be very useful and lots of fun! I can play music, listen to the radio, get the weather, and also get lots of information. The speaker is pretty impressive for its size. That only makes it worth the money.

Does everything the original Google Home does but for a fraction of the price. A hundred dollars less to be more specific. Love it and loved it so much I decided to get 3 for my family as christmas presents.

I've bought four of these devices in both black and white cloth cover, they came free with the Nest thermostats. It was an easy setup when you link your google account to it. There is a hardware button to mute the microphone. I've accepted devices listening all the time and pray that google isn't an evil corporation ;-) Besides it's just like carrying around my cell phone around all the time that has a better microphone and is both wifi and cellular. I would recommend using a separate router/switch for your IOT devices so they are on a different network than your main network. You can use your speakers together as a group for casting to multiple speakers, but I don't think with just two speakers it will play in stereo. I believe there is a dev way to set it up that I will try later some time. It does recognize different voices and you can link up to three different google accounts, my wife and I did setup multiple accounts and it does recognize which account to use by our voices after you do voice setup and link it to the specific account. I can also control my Nest devices from any of the four mini devices CONS: you can accidentally press the sensitive side buttons for volume when picking up the device. I don't know if they have a bracket to hang it on the wall or stand it up on stand, I have some on a higher shelf and can't see the lights respond to my voice commands, but you can turn on the settings to play a sound note for either start/end of a voice command response. Wish you can you use amazon prime music like pandora premium, I don't know if this was done on purpose being google? Sometimes when we use the free Pandora music service the music will stop randomly, I believe because Pandora is asking if you are still listening and you have to click online that yes you are still listening. We don't have this issue with the premium spotify services.

I have always been skeptical of a device like this, mostly because my Android phone essentially does the same thing. What I was surprised about was that the speaker is very good quality and music sounds fantastic. It fills a room and while its not comparable to real bookshelf speakers, it is perfect for our needs of background music while cooking, or listening to news headlines, or entertaining our daughter with a fairy tale. Its so simple to sync with an android device too.

After early adoption with Google Home, I have been pleased to find the Mini for less than half the price. While worth the current price, the fact that the functionality continues to grow is an added bonus.

Once connected to your profile using the app, it is very useful. You can customize this device to your liking by syncing your contacts and other info, etc.

If you have IoT devices (Thermostat, light switches etc) then this devices makes it really easy to control them in an handsfree environment. Wh you are cooking or have hands full of tools and need to set a time or find something out. Just being able to use your voice makes it a fantastic device.

This is a great way to get quick information by verbally searching the web including weather and commute info while getting ready for work. Set timers, do conversions like ounces to milliliters, set timers and add things to a shopping list all hands free in the kitchen. It's also a Bluetooth speaker to listen to music and podcasts from your phone on. I definitely recommend this product for anyone looking to get into AI speakers at a cheap entry cost.
