    Pretty good device. I received it free as a promo package and I like it pretty well. I am used to the Alexa devices and this works very similar.

    It works good for a bathroom speaker. The sound quality could be better. It doesn't have a pause touch spot like the regular Google home has. But I still enjoy it for music.

    This does the job but it pales in comparison to the Amazon Echo. Would be nice to have video screen but it met needs and expectations.
