I bought the Google Home Mini for gifts this year because I bought the Google Home for everyone last year. Everyone liked the Google Home so much I thought this was a good expansion of the Google Assistant into other rooms in the house. I bought one for myself to try out and again expand Google Assistant into other parts of the house. It's fantastic. Well constructed. Not cheaply made at all. Works just like the Google Home and so far I'm not dissappointed with the sound quality. I would definitely recommend to others. I would have preferred that Google retained the multi-colored lights on the mini when interacting with someone. It just blinks white, but It doesn't detract from the overall quality of the product.

The small footprint is great. It doesn't have the greatest bass but honestly I didn't expect it to for the size. It plenty loud for my office and it tucks discreetly behind my computer monitor. Really enjoy having it. Worth the money especially if you get it during the Christmas sales.

This mini Google is terrific for the price. The speakers are also mini so they aren't as strong as the Google Home. The mini is loud enough to hear in a small or quiet room. It is easy to set up and use.

Set up was easy and we are having fun learning how to use our Google Home mini. A great way to start using this technology. The charcoal color looks like a dark brown to me. It blends in almost anywhere.

Compact in size to fit anywhere, and the experience of Google Assistant is great. The only drawback is that sound level is a little difficult to adjust, and may be changed upon accidental touch or move.

This speaker is loud for its size and can do just about everything the original Google Home can do for half the price. Purchased this specifically for my bedroom and already looking into getting another.

The google mini is a great addition to the house. We have a google home upstairs and now we have the mini downstairs. The sound quality is good and does all the same things we ask our google home to do.

This speaker on this device is shockingly loud for its size and it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
You can link this to many smart home products seamlessly.
Well worth the low price tag!

The Google Home Mini works in conjunction with your Google Home app to perform all of the functions in the app with voice control. If you have smart home apps linked to Google Home, you can use your voice to control it. Be aware that the Google Home Mini must be plugged in for use.

I was never interested in the smart speakers until I purchase the Google home mini on sale. It is very intuitive and its speaker is a lot louder than the Amazon Echo Dot. Great for listening to music.

I have the Echo but wanted to see how much different they were. I actually think Google home is better. The sound is better. The fact that I can control Google assistant from my Galaxy S7 Edge means I can control my home anytime, anywhere with a simple "ok Google". Great product!

I buy these for my grandkids then teach them to use it. Help them set them set up and have fun. They tell me "old people" aren't suppose to use electronics. Lol.
They are very user friendly so impress your kids, get one and you'll be like me and have them in every room. I use to set timers, listen to music or audio books. Wake me with music. Answer questions, tell me what movies are showing etc.

Nice packaging . The product looked exactly as described and performs very well. Setup was super easy. I'm a previous Amazon echo ( alexa) owner ang got the Google home to compare. I would have to say that the Google home is much more versatile. The big kicker is the ability to do a simple Google search via your voice ( which the echo can not). It controls the same devices and set up is just as easy. Both are amazing pieces of tech. As a consumer and heavy usrr of both Amazon and Google products , it's hard to tell a rookie which to buy. I would have to say to go with the company that you eptimarily use for music as that will be the deciding factor . Great product would highly recommend

We just moved into a 3 bedroom house and bought a couple Google Home Hubs. These Google mini's are awesome to have around the house because we can broadcast to the speakers in all the rooms. We can ask Google questions, wherever we are in the house. It's a really nice and inexpensive feature to have throughout the house. If you had smart lights or smart lightswitches/outlets you can control them through the Google as well.

Was easier to set up and get started than the Amazon Dot. Sound is a little better than the Dot, and looks better. Answers questions better than the Dot, but no external speaker capability. The Dot, however, can get you into simple smart home capabilities with cheaper options.
