    Better than Echo IMO

    Haven't had any issues with speech recognition like I've had with my experiences with amazon echo. In a 10'x13' room with it sitting in one corner it can accurately pick up anything I ask in a normal conversational volume.

    This is a nice little device. For the price, the functionality is absolutely awesome. The whole family has been using it. The sound quality is much better than I expected for a "mini" device. I would definitely recommend!

    I've got one of these in every room in my house, and it's not just a novelty. I truly love my Google homes. They make so many tasks so much easier.full home automation is great and Google home is my interface.

    The mini is nice to be able to move from place to place if needed. If you're looking for a really loud speaker then this isn't for you. It is also a big hit at parties because she can be fun to hang out with.

    The charcoal color Mini looks great next to our black TV, but the power supply and cord that are provided are both white. I suggest using a black USB cord from another device for the best appearance.

    We have purchased a Google Home device and two Google minis. All are connected to our lights and thermostat. These have made our home "Smart" from the areas where we spend most of our time. WE are enjoying our devices.

    Love this speaker. It shall and looks great, the audio quality is surprisingly good for something so small. There is a small learning curve to get google to do what I wanted because it didn’t understand all my prompts

    GOOD ITEM, NOT SURE IF IT'S MUST OWN

    It does some cool things. It'll tell you a joke or the weather. If you have a music service, it will play whatever song you tell it to. It controls some smart home products. It kind of depends on whether you want to use your phone for these activities or if you'd rather speak it and it's done.

    The only issue I have is that the microphone isn't as sensitive as I would like it to be. I have adjusted the microphone using the app but it doesn't always answer unless I'm facing it. Maybe it thinks I'm being rude? (Yes that was a joke)

    I love my alexa and the google home is a close second. If i did t have Amazon's unlimited music and prime I'd go with google home entirely. I bought this for 1 reason. An echo device can only mnage one harmony remote system. I have two

    I have 6 of these They are great for listening to music and controlling the lights, I stated giving them as gifts and the people love them. Customer service at google is the best you can ask for.
