    Google home is clutch. I'll recommend this to anyone that feels like they need some organization in their life with constant reminders and just want to know something random. But with all products there are some improvements thats needed but ill say Google is going in the right direction with this product.

    I love my Home Mini. We plugged it into the bathroom to play music while getting ready in the morning and to use Assistant + Spotify. Works well. Audio quality isn't there, but on-par with expectations at this price.

    Really helpful for little tasks and chores like setting timers/reminders, checking the weather, asking for directions, playing music. The voice assistant is fast and accurate!

    To get the most use out of this thing you should have a few smart devices in the house. It's still cool to use as an assistant or "speaker" but it's much cooler to use it to control your various device.

    Very responsive and can give it commands like a regular conversation. Able to control my lights (dims the lights if I ask for that as well) smart plugs, smart camera. I would've gave it 5☆s but it's not wireless..needs to be connected to wall outlet in order to be used.

    I absolutely love my Google mini so much I bought multiple to put in each room. I love how they control my smart tv and communicate with the other minis in other rooms. The app is super simple to use!

    I got this as a gift for another in the house. I have the Google home already. Does the mini doesn't sound quite as good as the full Google home still fun useful. The system as a whole still in development so there is a bit of a learning curve if you're going to control your house.

    The google mini sometimes struggles to hear my voice, while there are other noises in the room. The games and small functions are awesome and funny. I haven't hooked it to my smart house functions as of yet. We mostly bought it for its better ability to search the internet for information over the Alexa.

    I have set up my home as smart home to use google home mini to the fullest but it still serves the purpose. Small commands like setting reminders or timers. Makes the easier and I would buy this again.

    I bought this as a Christmas present for my son. At first he was concerned about privacy but after using it he really likes it. He has become addicted to it. Not sure if this is better than Amazon Alexa, but it seems to work well. I would not put any private personal information on it.

    Pretty much just a bigger version of siri. I gotten this product a couple months ago and i probably only used it twice. It definitely more beneficial if you have the other features that you can link to it. I wish i returned the product sooner.

    Smarter than Alexa

    Smarter than Alexa — because it’s powered by Google Search Engine. You can ask follow up questions and it knows what you’re trying to say. Instead of repeating the same questions over and over again.

    You have more options with Amazon’s Alexa. But you have to pay for prime.

    We like the mini and it has been a good helper for searching, remote controlling things around the house. One bad thing is occasionally it just came on by itself and waiting for command even though we didnt call it. But then it goes off right away since there was no actual commands being requested

    Decent Google device, but design-wise

    Good home management device and google information search, however, the microphone doesn't pick up my voice as well as Amazon's Echo Dot. Shape should be more square to fit firmly in a well designed wall mount. Laying flat hard to see the top lights which are rather faint. Needs design improvement.

    Works as advertised. No regrets in purchasing the mini as opposed to the full-on version. I wasn't looking for great sound quality; I have a sound system for that. I did have a problem getting it to detect a chromecast despite following instructions, but eventually it worked without explanation why.

    Worth it - especially in the kitchen. Good for reminders, timers, quick little recipe kitchen questions, and of course....MUSIC! Also makes free phone calls...I use it to call mom / the bros...etc.
