Customer Ratings & Reviews

Didn't expect much, even after seeing all the commercials. However, the product was intuitive enough to play a great mix of smooth jazz with a slant toward the type of music I listen to in another venue. (I don't know how) Easy to place and almost forget it is present until someone says hey google.

Loved it at first look. Nice little device but with all capabilities. Easy to tune. Covering on top feels smooth. No buttons visible. Just tap on left/right to increase decrease volume. Or change it via command. Easy to configure via mobile. Nice volume. for sure dont expect something like BOSE

I have, I think, all the Alexas. I wanted to use the dot in my bathroom while I showered but I couldn't hear it. This was a total impulse purchase based on the Best Buy associate telling me it was really loud and she was right. Now the mission is complete. Every room has a device! Thanks! Love it.

THE REASON WHY I SAY 'A LITTLE' IS BCUS GOOGLE HOME MINI SOMETIMES FINDS IT DIFFICULT TO HEAR MY VOICE - I HAVE TO SCREAM OUT LOUD SOMETIMES. ECHO DOT IS MORE EFFECTIVE WITH VOICES. BUT GOOGLE HOME MINI IS MORE EFFECTIVE ALL ROUND. THAT IS WHY I WOULD KEEP THE DEVICE. SOMETIMES I WILL CALL OUT A NUMBER OF TIMES, BUT MINI WOULD NOT ANSWER, THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS - EVEN WITHOUT ME TALKING, SHE WOULD RESPOND "HI, HOW CAN I HELP YOU"... GIRL PLEASE!!! ANYWAY, I AM AN ANDRIOD PHONE USER, I SUPPORT ANDRIOD PRODUCTS AND GOOGLE BASICALLY CONTROLS THE WEB- SO WHY NOT GET A GOOGLE HOME MINI FOR A DECENT PRICE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE. ALSO, MINI OCCATIONALLY REASONS TO OTHER WORD OR PHRASES OTHER THAN 'OK OR HEY GOOGLE'. WHAATT!!! SHE'S CRAZY LIKE THAT. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO GET AN ANDRIOD TV TO GET THE FULL USE OF THE GOOGLE HOME MINI - CHROMECAST IS NOT THAT EFFECTIVE UNLESS TO HAVE THE HDMI CHANNEL ON. THAT SUCKS. ALSO, **** I NEED MORE ACCENTS/ LANGUAGES*** AND I EXPECT THEM TO BE A EFFECTIVE AS THE US VERSION.

Great item for short money. I have 3 of these in different rooms. I use this to play music, listen to the radio, set timers and alarms. I often ask it off the wall questions, like "How long before eggs go bad?" or "Teach me some French." or "What movies did So and So play in?" "What's the weather today?" I also speak to my google in English and Spanish and it will respond in either. (I had to set up for both languages prior.) I also have it connected to my smart plugs and bulbs so I only have it ask to turn something on or off.

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.

This one works and the sound is decent. The Google Home is much bigger than this mini with better sound. However, given this one's size is so compact, I am pretty satisfied on how clear the sound is. I wish Google Assistant has the feature to answer a call but it does not know how to do it yet.

I find Google's products much more intuitive than Amazon's. I have it controlling my Hue lights, Nest thermostat, Harmony hub for my TV and entertainment system, smart plugs, etc. Once Sonos integration comes then I'll be all set.

This google home mini bangs. Bass is alright. Better than amazon alexa. Louder than amazon alexa! Clear and Crisp Sound. Works great with my z-wave switches, smart tv, chromecast, and smartthings. Its very easy to set up! Love It!

If you have a smart home or just want a nice speaker for your room, or bathroom, this is the one. For the price, you just cant beat it. I have the larger Google Home in the main area, and then the Home Mini in every room. I have 4 and they are awesome. It's extremely helpful, from setting alarms to timers, to reminders or checking weather before getting ready. Or if you put it in your bathroom, like we do, you can have it play music while you shower or take a nice relaxing bath. Even make phone calls. And because we have it in every room, we can play one song simultaneously throughout the house all at once as a group. Buy it now, and buy many!

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 purchased the "Google - Home Mini (1st Generation) - Smart Speaker with Google Assistant - Chalk" to expand my smart home network. I previously purchased the Google Smart Home Light Kit so I already had a smart speaker, but I wanted to make sure that Google could respond to my commands from other areas in my house. This additional Home Mini was very easy to set up and it works very well. It will answer my questions, turn on/off lights, play music, tell me jokes, keep me updated on the news, weather, etc. It's a great little device and I highly recommend it to others.

We were curious about this product, so when it was only $29.00, we decided to get one.WOW, this little item is more than we expected. Once it learns you, you can asked Google, just about anything, to include to play just about any song you can think of/ the weather/ news, traffic...ext...

This is our 4th one. I have two Echos but by far this is much better. It works as a stereo system in my son's room, give me a kitchen timer, weather station and news broadcaster in the kitchen, and helps with TV in the living room. We couldn't do without! Great sound with this gen, too.

We've had a Google Home since last Christmas and decided to get a couple Minis for the bedrooms, mainly for controlling our Philips Hue lights. As we have Chromecasts and soundbars in the bedrooms, the smaller speakers aren't an issue for us. This is a fantastic inexpensive assistant!

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.

I bought this when it was on sale, around $25, and it's one of the best things I've ever done. I decided to take the plunge when I found out it could control my WeMo network connected light switch. Prior to that, I had to go through a whole process with my cell to turn the switch on and off. Now I just have to say turn off the lights and it's done. The sound is remarkably good for such a small speaker with good volume. It has basically replaced my little bedroom radio. All the controls are voice so I don't have to fumble in the dark for a volume control or alarm off switch. I just love this thing.

Great little speaker. Very loud for such a small thing. Still learning all it can do. Can tell you a wealth of information if you ask it. Still trying to learn how to do the smart things. Not a problem with it but me knowing how to do smart technology. Easy to connect to iPad, etc.

I currently have the Google home, I added this Google home mini to the bedroom. It allows me to control the lights in the living room without having to shout at the Google home! I also like being able to set Music on a timer as I nod off..... You can also set a timer to wake up.

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.
