    I love my new speaker and being able to cure my curiosity in seconds without needing to find a device. Love being able to say an artist name and listening to music a ton as well. At this price everyone should have at least one.

    Google's Home Mini was a no brainer for me. I like Google's products and ecosystem. Their voice recognition is the best out. Siri is horrible and Alexa is good, but not like Google. I will list the things I use the most and will demonstrate how Google's products and ecosystem tie in together. Turn on TV --> Google Chrome Cast Dongle Turn on lights --> Random outlet smart switch or smart light Turn on AC/Heater --> Google Nest Thermostat Play Song/Playlist from Spotify, Youtube, Youtube Music Play "name of Netflix show" on TV (name of Google Chromecast) Add reminder or calendar event --> Google Calendar Ask a question --> Google Search These are just a few examples of commands and how they connect with other hardware and programs. Chromecast and Google smart speakers are amazing as they allow you to control your tv. Asking Google to play my "Vibe Time" playlist on Spotify during a gathering is sweet. Since this is a piece of technology, it will sometimes lag, be unresponsive, or lose internet connection. Unplugging and plugging back in is a simple resolution.

    It will surprise you with the sound quality and on the top of that it's Google who can answer most of your questions. I bought three this black friday.

    We have been using the original Google Home unit for over a year and really like it. We bought a couple Minis to spread the features around the house.

    Smarter than the others...

    I have the other AI's: Siri, Alexa, and Cortana. The Google mini responds much better than the others. It's so much easier to add appointments to my calendar, to add reminders and to do other tasks. In addition, it handles questions a ton better than Alexa and Siri. I have Alexa in the same room, and right after she tells me she doesn't know, I'll ask Google the same one, and get an answer. And the answers from Google are more in-depth. The speaker is about what I expect in this device, not horrible but not really for listening to music for any length of time.

    Bought this product because my new Vizio TV works with voice commands from the Google Home Mini. Works great and gives my multiple Amazon echoes a run for their money. Speaker is of low quality but everything else works great.

    Similar to Amazon's Alexa, this device does a great job when used for everyday questions. And, the price is right. I would recommend 2 or 3 per house!

    I have been using the google mini for a couple months now and for the price have found it very useful. It is great for common tasks, asking about traffic while getting ready for work, setting a timer while you are cooking, asking quick google questions, asking about weather etc. Yes your phone can do all of this, but with these you dont have to touch your phone or be near it. The minis are worth it, especially when discounted, though im not sure the larger more expebsive ones are worth the bigger price tag.

    I really like this product, it is still a work in progress for sure and that's the only reason why I reserved the star. The Google Home Assistant can be trained to you voice for secure purchase and information related to you.

    Picked this item up at my local Best Buy because the price couldn’t have been better, took it home and played with it to see which was more useful and gave better information, Google Home or the Amazon Echo. After just a few minutes of asking Alexa questions and then asking Google Home the same questions, I found that the Home provided better, more relevant information which is no doubt because of its access to the Google search engine. If you like having toys get both, if you only want one, buy this one. It has many more pros and less cons than the Echo.
