    I hesitated for a long time buying one but when it went on sale I had to get it at half price. The speaker is small but has a great sound, much better than I had expected. The assistant is very handy and quite helpful. I'm still exploring its other qualities but so far I am very happy with it.

    This little device is easy to setup and use, it's great for streaming NPR and Pandora. I like being able to stream or play a soothing whitenoise (like rain or a thunderstorm or ocean waves) while doing yoga. It can also answer my various questions, set timers and other useful stuff.

    I paid $30 for the Mini and got a $10 Best Buy gift card, setting the total cost at $20. That being said, I believe that the Google Home is definitely worth what I spent. It's handy to have near the kitchen so that I can set timers and have it read me recipes while cooking. It also works great as an external speaker when I connect my phone or laptop to it via bluetooth in order to play music, or when I want to listen to some music on Spotify while doing dishes. Also, when I notice that I am running low on something around the house, I can ask it to add the item to my shopping list so that I won't forget when I'm at the store.

    I had an echo dot, not impressed with music quality. Bought the Google home mini to compare. I like the music sound much better.

    Not better than echo dot.

    Many people compare Google Home Mini with Echo Dot. Here is my opinion. I have both. And I'm gonna keep both. Because they both serve different purpose. I'm using Echo to listen to the music using external Bluetooth speaker and to control my smart home devices. Google is good answering questiond. Because it's Google. In my opinion Google screwed up two things. First, inability to connect to external speaker without any additional hardware like Chromecast. We can admit that speakers on both Echo Dot and Google Home Mini suck. And second, inability to change the wake word on Home Mini. Because sometime I want to say `Hi Google` just to my phone but Home Mini also answers the call. That a little bit frustrating. All those problems are fixable with a simple software update. I'm not sure if Google is going to do it.

    I purchased this product when is was 50% off and I am so glad that I did. I have a loft in my apartment and I put this one in that area. I mostly have it for the ability to say "hey google - turn on my loft lights" lol...but, for such a tiny little thing, it has great sound and works great.
