Love the mini’s though wish they had more range. When in bedroom you have to be close to make it work. Recommend for smaller rooms.

Very reasonable price, compact size, excellent voice recognition and high audio quality and sound. Let’s you communicate very naturally with the device and has a good capability of letting you hear the voice within a reasonable distance.

Works well. I enjoy asking it to play shows or movies on my chromecast. Wish it has integration with videos I have on google drive.

Purchased this to have in our bedroom where we have 8 Philip Hue Lights. We have the Google Home downstairs in our living room and this is the perfect companion to have in the house. Google now has a broadcast feature that lets you use the devices in your home as intercom system. We have been using that a lot. Speaker is loud and clear and i like that it is smaller than the Home.

I love my Google Home Mini. The Google Assistant is the best of the smart home assistants in my opinion, and I've tried all of them. 9/10 times it's the one that's going to understand your question the most. I mostly use mine for asking the weather, checking my commute and calendar, and controlling a handful of smart devices (thermostat, home security, and a few smart plugs). While I do think the smart assistant technologies are not at it's full potential yet, the Google Assistant is constantly improving so it is nice to see when new features are rolled out. I'm sure if you're in the Google ecosystem, this would be a no-brainer and would work seamlessly for you. I am on an iPhone and have still found it incredibly easy to use. For the price, not a bad way to get introduced to smart homes.

I have both echo and the google home mini, both are good devices for what they do but the google seems to be able to "answer" more questions or at least with more detail the google device likely will have more connectivity with other internet of things devices. There seems to be a lot of these devices but there more basic features such as a timer, weather reports are most handy.

This is a great speaker, pretty good volume for a little speaker. Recognizes my voice and knows the difference between all five of my family members. Even understands it when I stumble over words. Will likely get more for other rooms.

Works wonderful! I use it a lot in the kitchen for timers or conversions. You can ask it a lot of different things, and gives you great answers. Playing music off this is really great too. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack to plug in external speakers, and setup can be a little tricky at times.

Like the compact size of this model as it doesn’t take up a ton of space or look out of place. Speaker is rating and microphone is about a B+ but it likely is much better in room with lower ambient noise. Still learning how to use apps with Apple products. Overall good purchase and values. Easy to add more units in other areas of the house.

Google is so much better than Alexa!

We have both a Google Home and Alexa- decided to go totally google with the purchase of a few more Google minis. Google can do all that and more, but what convinced us was the deep catalog of knowledge - we assume google got super smart after years of being a leading search engine- Google can answer anything, where Alexa’s response to our questions usually begins with ‘Sorry...’
