Awesome sound recognition and music sound is awesome out of this smalll speaker. Love it!

I like the price of the mini, even though the speaker isn't as good as a full-sized Home.

I have a full sized google home in the kitchen, and I got this little guy for my bed side table. The look of it is sleek, and it works exactly like the big one does. The speaker isn’t as good as the big one, but it’s a quarter of the size, so that’s understandable. What I’m not happy about is the defect on the top touch pad of the device. One of the main pieces of functionality of this tech is to be able to touch the top of the device to pause, play, stop alarms, and generally interact. From the research I’ve done, before these even released, when they were giving a few out to lucky winners as promos, there was an issue with a “ghost touch.” It was causing the google to think that the top was being touched, so you’d have it saying weird things to you all day, and pretty much listening to you all day. From what I’ve read online, there were not a lot of people affected by this defect, but google went ahead with the launch instead of recalling the affected devices. They then issued a software update for ALL users that completely disabled the ability to use the top as an interaction button (you can still tap on either side to change the volume). This forces the user to use all voice commands to interact with the device. Which can be a pain in the butt sometimes. So the first day I got this product, I set it as my alarm clock, and you can imagine what I looked like at 6 am, trying to beat this thing until it turned off. I finally had to use voice control to get it turned off. But I was used to my full sized google home and I was expecting it to turn off when I touched the top pad. I’ve heard word that they might recall all of these devices, but I really hope not. Outside of that, it’s great. I just really hope google figures out something soon.

The speaker is loud for the form factor and is a good start for building a smart home. The only feature missing is the Bluetooth speaker connectivity.

Bought this on black Friday and glad I did. The sound is decent and it gets the job done.

Purchased the day after black Friday at a great price it helps with so many daily things.

I purchased this to add to my remote system I designed for my home theater a work in progress and this will supplement that with voice control as well

This product is so much better than echo dot. The sound and abilities are so much better

I had to buy another, and probably will give em away during Christmas at this low price.

Got this for my fiancé! He looooooves it! I’ll be getting one for each room in the house

Great product. Works just like the big guy. Bought this as an add on. Very happy with it

So, what I like about this is it's just tiny. Well, not so tiny that it disappears into the scenery and you lose it and have to walk around playing Marco Polo just to find where the cats batted it too while they were playing a version of "My Shelf-Hockey," as cats are prone to do. Plus, if you have the Google Assistant app on your phone, you can send voice messages to it so that people in the room where it's at can hear your voice. It's kind of cool, however, I'm disappointed in the fact that it announces there is a message from me coming through before it plays the message. I mean, how am I supposed to play "You're not alone in the house, are you?" and creep people out if it says "You have a new message from...." before it plays the message? Come on Google, let me pander to my dark side, just a little. So, yeah. Good product.

Gave this as a gift My friend loves it and uses it all the time he said it’s a must have

When paired with Chromecast and a galaxy phone and tablet the possibilities are endless.

I bought this because I needed a smart home device to control a bulb that I purchased for my living room light. Works great to control the light and I love listening to music on the speaker and the kids have fun asking google jokes.

Small , affordable way to add functionality to my smart home system. My wife has cerebral palsy and adding voice command to lights, door camera and thermostats has been a wonderful advancement for accessibility in our home.

We love it, it's easy to set up and perfect for our family! Added on to our Google Home!

As smart speakers get more and more advanced the prices keep going up. The google home mini is an amazing smart speaker at an even better price. It has all the amazing features as the bigger google home but in a smaller and more nice looking body.

I bought this as a gift and they love it. It works great is a pretty good speaker also.

Great product I absolutely love this product. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.
