    I'm in love with my Google Home Mini. It can understand everything I say and it doesn't sound like a robot. I have an iPhone and it's so much better than Siri. You can also ask for recipes and it'll tell you how to make it step by step. Really usefull!!

    It recognizes my Wife and I without many issues. The device responds quickly to commands wit minimal errors. Setting up additional devices such as my next thermostat was incredibly fast. Despite their small size they put out a an adequate level of sound

    Google home mini does what is says and more that I thought it would. Currently controlling Hue lights and streaming to Vision chromecast TV with voice commands. Easy to installl and the Google home app is relatively intuitive. So far it's pretty cool.

    Google makes life easy with this little device. I can turn on my TV with my chromecast. I can add calendar events, alarms, searches and ask for jokes. The only issue is that Netflix needs to get on board with voice support with this little toy.

    Caught this on a great sale and couldn't pass it up for basically $20. It's a fun little device. Works great as a speaker to play google music and we are just starting to set it up to control some of the lights and other home devices. I can definitely see it becoming invaluable over time as we get used to making the most of it's capabilities.

    Finally Google has a voice assistant that can rival the Echo Dot. This thing does everything the standard Google Home does at half the cost. It's small, stylish and has pretty good sound quality when playing music for such a small speaker. Its worth the $50 price-point!

    Great Entry to Smart Home Tech

    I have a few of these around the house and I love them! They can hear your voice quite easily (even better than the bigger Google Home that comes at more than twice the cost of this one) and there are new features every couple of weeks to play with. The speaker does get extremely loud however, what it lacks is any substantial bass, especially when listening to music. This is not a deal breaker by any means. It still outperforms speakers I have used in this price range and I find my self using it more than anything to listen to music. The great part is, if you have more than one, you can set up a home group and have music playing throughout your home. I've also invested in making my apartment smart home friendly and it's been fantastic. These work with just about every smart home product on the market and Google is light-years ahead of the competition when it comes to voice recognition and executing commands.

    We've had a couple of Google Home's for a while now and got this Mini to extend our coverage. Maybe the Google Home has a little bit better sound, but this one does everything like it's big brother and costs a lot less. Definitely a win!

    Setup was very easy. The sound is pretty good considering the small size. We use it as an alarm clock/radio in the bedroom. The same features as the bigger Google Home, just smaller.

    Easy setup and if you have an android phone, you will have more custom options. It seems to sync better with android than with Apple products. Love the trivia game and that it has the ability to keep a conversation going unlike Alexa.

    These little speaker donuts are great. You can talk to them and they answer your questions. This donut does not taste good but lets me turn off my lights like other donuts do not.

    Learning what smart home means

    We have been thinking about switching some items in the house into smart features. To start out though, we needed to understand what they could do. This was bought at the same time we bought some lights. Nothing too over the top. And it was a great way of learning what they could do. It didn't long for me to get use to having one in the house. Granted it didn't stay where it began. After some other products, we moved this into the master bedroom to see if we would use it there. That was one of the best moves we did with the mini. Here are things we found that we like with just one; Control movies, play music, tell stories, play whitesound or sleep sounds, crate - edit - read back lists from Keeps, answer random questions, and controlling lights. If you have more then two, we found these things that we liked; broadcast messages to other speakers, calling other speakers, and being link to one household so we can get information anywhere. I personally went with Google for a few reasons. I've been playing with the Google AI with my phone for a few years. So I had some idea what they were doing. I also like the look and profile of their speakers more the Alexa. I also felt that Alexa needed to be link straight with your Amazon account and I can easily see us ordering things we shouldn't by voice. Before you get into smart home, research which you want as the based of your smart home. If you know other to create a smart home without these, do it. But if you are thinking about what you might want in a smart home and can do programming, get one of these with some lights.

    Actually got this along with my Nest thermostat. Already have a Home in the kitchen. It's kinda nice having the same functions available upstairs, too. Sounds decent musically, for it's size and is very unobtrusive on a nightstand.

    If you're looking for a secondary Google Home to go into a smaller room like a bathroom you're in luck. The speaker is good but not great. It gets loud but almost too loud to the point where saying Hey Google might not work on first go. I suggest buying the normal sized Google Home as the main one and the mini as secondary.

    This item was my first venture into voice controls for my house. I did a lot of reading on different options and decided with the lower holiday price I couldn't go wrong giving the Home Mini a shot. I was not disappointed at all. The mic picks up commands really well from anywhere in the room. The speaker is better than I expected. It isn't going to be a super crazy loud high fidelity music player but for voice, basic music, podcasts, etc. it is actually much cleared and louder than I expected. I have all the lights in my house able to be controlled via the Home Mini. I rarely use the switches or apps to control lights any more. The entire family has actually adopted the use to control the lights. I was so pleased that I have purchased 3 of these to go through out my house now.

    We have multiple around the house and love them! We use them for timers, music, and to control our smart lights. We also will ask Google questions often, and with multiple young kids in the house, it comes in handy for facts!
