These things work so well, bought several more as gifts. Easy setup. Low profile makes them barely noticeable. Kids love them. Put them in all the rooms, so we can use them constantly. Can’t believe the function for the price. Was a previou Amazon Echo user, and now am a Google Home convert.

I like it. It's nice for playing music through Spotify or playing podcasts. It provides accurate directions when I ask it. It doesn't connect via Bluetooth to my phone but will connect to my tablet just fine. Doesn't have as much features as the Echo Dot, it it's new and still improving.
If you have a Chromecast enabled TV you can use it to start programs on Hulu and Netflix.
Overall a good buy.

I was very skeptical at first, before I decided to buy the Google Home Mini. After long consideration, I made the purchase and to be honest I really like it. Works great and does what it supposed to do. Also, I can control my Nest Thermostat. Definitely better than Amazon Echo Dot.

Perfect item for the smart home beginner, as well as a fantastic add on if you already have a Google Home speaker. Google Assistant is a welcome guest in our home, helping with everything from music to homework to turning the lights on and off.
And you can't beat the sale price!

This was purchased to assist with homework questions, function as an alarm, play music, set reminders, and link to another room with Google Home working as a speaker to broadcast messages. By far it has surpassed any of my expectations as it does everything that I want and more!

I love this mini edition of Google Home. Already had the original Google Home in my living room, but had to yell across rooms if I wanted anything. Now I have one of these in my bedroom, I can control my Hue lights without screaming. The speaker looks and feels very premium too.

Got this mainly to play my Spotify in my room. I also like setting a morning alarm with this, even though the first time turning it off was quite hilarious. (I kept yelling at it to turn off, forgetting to say "Hey Google, TURN OFF.") It's also nice to ask random questions to, especially the weather. Works better than Siri on my iPhone. Speaker is very good for a room. I'd recommend it.

The Google mini has great sound for such a small speaker. It works well with the other Google smart speakers we have. We use it for music, news, home automation, and more. Easy to set up from my smart phone. I would recommend the Google home products to anyone. Glad we got it.

My husband loves our Google home and google home mini. It works perfectly. It makes life easier and more fun. We play music, ask it questions, search the internet, and change the tv with it. I love it. I want one more to go in another bedroom. This is definitely worth $30.

First the price is great for an introduction to the product. I have the larger one but I needed this one for my office and bedroom.it understands mistakes, speak is more conversational rather than robotic, and the speakers although not to loud, the output quality is great.

The Google Mini works well as long as you realize what it does. It is meant to be handy. It plays music, but not like a larger sound device. Where it really shines is answering questions and controlling smart home devices. It seems to hear your voice well and is surprisingly accurate with the information that it provides. A very nice device especially considering the price point.

This little mini packs a punch. the larger one is better but don't get me wrong this item will do the job in an office or bedroom or even kitchen. We have them all throughout the house for when we leave or arrive home. Plays music perfectly throughout the house as well.

I have one in each room for a total of 4 Google home mini's. We use them to turn on and off our Lifx smart bulbs light. The kids have them in their room for listening to music and using them as alarm clocks for school, and timers. Search recipes in the kitchen, ask it history questions, play trivia games. Broadcast messages to other Google Home Minis in other rooms like "Dinner is ready". Overall a very useful product that does not cost a fortune. Sounds better than the Amazon Dot.

The Google Home Mini is the most affordable Google Assistant-enabled speaker available and thankfully it was on Sale for Black Friday for $29.99 and got a $10 Best Buy Gift Card Whether shouting from across the room or speaking gently 10 feet away, the Home Mini yielded similarly great results.... Hay Google whats the weather today and in a clear voice it tells me.

I don’t even know what all this thing does yet, but it is very cool. It plays Pandora, answers questions, plays games, helps plan your day,controls smart home devices...the assistant is so much better than the google app or website. Sound quality is excellent.

This little unit has the integrated Google AI just like your android phones and the google home units. If all you are looking for is basic functionality, then this unit is for you. If you are looking to play music or books or use this as a bridge between your phone and entertainment center you are going to want to look at the more feature rich google home unit.

With Google Assistant built in, the Google Home integrates with Google Calendar, Maps and Chromecast, so it gives you personalized answers. Say the word, and the Home can also control your smart home gadgets or send music and video to your TV and speakers.

Purchased this item because of the Black Friday sale, and it turned out to be a very cool little speaker. The google assistant is very accurate and pretty much always gets it right when you ask it to do something. Purchased 5 of them that’s how good it is.
