    very impressed how easy to set up and how good the sound is. I like the looks of it too. I think it is a better product than amazon echo dot 2 which I also have.

    I love my Google Home Mini. I have purchased several devices and at a low price I am able to speak to and control my whole house. I control my lights, my TV, some of my appliances and even my fan with it. I can play/pause music everywhere in my house. I can play Stranger Things on my TV through voice! It also provides great answers to all my questions, I believe it must give the same answers as Google.com. Overall - great purchase.

    Skeptical at First, Amazing Shortly After!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Going into my purchase of the Google Home Mini, I initially did not think it was something that I would use. I was so wrong after seeing the capability of the devices. Given that I already had several smart home devices in the house, this was the piece that connected it all together. I can continue working on what I am doing without having to pick up my phone. Additionally, it syncs with my phone. Perfect!

    I bought this 2 days ago and i love it, its sound is great for its size, picks up my voice and my voice only(bc i set it to mine). I got it to use in my bedroom and i have no regrets. It will even pick up my voice when i slur the words or talk with a southern accent. It’s an overall good product and I recommend to all!

    LOVE MY GOOGLE

    This thing is WAY better than Alexa. Compared to google, the Alexa is useless. I love my google. I have a Beats Pill speaker and I still use my google instead of that. The speaker on the google is pretty awesome. It can do anything I ask. It linked seamlessly to my Spotify account and can play/do whatever I ask! I would highly recommend!!!

    Was excited when this was announced at the beginning of this month but buying it was worth the money. I have two full size Google Homes one in my living room one in the bedroom, we also use phillips hue lights i bought this for my daughters room so she can control the lights and tv as well perfect purchase, ive caught my 8 year old playing trivia totally worth it!! Will be buying a few this Christmas for in-laws and parents.

    Music pauses/ Can’t hear me

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We replaced our Alexa with google home mini because we thought it was better suited for our needs. We love our Google home but so far have had a lot of trouble with playing music through Spotify. (Not sure who’s at fault) Songs pause (buffer) constantly which makes it very annoying when trying to listen to music. Our google home is only 10 ft away from our couch and in a silent room it cannot hear me when speaking in a normal tone. We have to yell. So far we have plugged our Alexa back in to play music through. Hoping either Spotify or google resolve this issue.

    First attempt in smart speaker

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Have used Bluetooth Speakers for a couple of years, but this is my first attempt for Smart Speaker. I got this mini with my pixel 2 pre-order and as a Chromecast user and Youtube TV subscriber. The continuity between these devices is really fluent. For the speaker point of view, it is decent for its size. And I'm happy with its audio quality for casual podcast and music listening.
