Nifty little thing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have linked the Google Home mini to my thermostat and some smart electric plugs and its pretty nifty. I ask what is on my calendar from time to time and what the current temperatures are. The sound on it is pretty decent when I have it play my Spotify playlist but in the future, I may add a speaker or get the full version for another room. What I think I value most about the Google Home Mini, is that it takes away from my time going through the different apps on my phone. Its nice to just ask away and I get the answer I need.

Great personal assistant from Google
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does everything for you with different features always becoming available. We bought a few for each bedroom. I love it for playing music in whatever location you're in the house and telling you about your day just by saying good morning Google. If you're working, cooking, doing homework, etc, and need a question answered, it does it for you. The kids love it and use it ALL the time. It's very amusing when my son uses the broadcast feature to send random affection messages to his mother while in different parts of the house.

perfect size on its own
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to accompany the regular Google Home, but it could work well on its own. Good sound, easy to use, color fits well with decor.

Upgrade to the original Google home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The much smaller form factor comes with no loss to features and capability. Sound quality is on par with the original Google home. I only wish it included an internal battery for a truly mobile experience

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had both amazon echo and google home and much prefer the google device. I wanted to add another room and didn't really need the google home again. It is able to hear me even when on the other side of the room. it is clear and easy to understand the responses. i will stick with google since it is able to do more for me than what amazon was able to do. i control my lights, cast movies and tv shows. get correct answers to information i ask. could it be better yes but i do expect added functionality to be added continuously.

A must
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought our own google home mini and loved it so much we got more to give for Christmas gifts. The sale price is perfect! We use it for music, checking weather, and you can even ask her where Santa is. (Try it, it's cute for the kids!). We also purchased smart plugs that I can just say "Hey google, turn on living Room" and whatever I have plugged in will turn on. Right now I have our Christmas tree hooked up to it and it's great to walk in the front door, say the command, and google turns it on lighting up the room to see!

A great sample
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the mini to sample the Google Home services. I love it for the price. I got it on sale during Black Friday. I use it to play music while in the kitchen. I can hear it over the sound of frying food or the sink running, which can't be said for my top of the line smart phone. I don't have it integrated into my home since I'm not interested in that yet. She's great at answering questions. When I'm feeling goofy, I ask her what sounds different animals make to watch my dogs tilt their head trying to figure it out. It's fun.

Such a powerful mini surprise!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not expect the Mini to make me as happy as the Google Home unit, It was substantially less and I assumed it would be limited in several key ways, but I looked forward to the additional coverage in the man cave. I have been so pleasantly surprised! For all intents and purposes, this is offering me the same features that I love about the Home unit. I do know there are some differences, they are very clearly explained in the description, but what I use regularly is packed into this tiny unit and works like a beast! YEAH!

Great Little Speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to start my home automation journey. I like that I can simply ask it to find various radio stations and to start streaming them. I also like that I can control some home automation devices by speaking to it as well. It's small and compact and does not look like an eye sore sitting out in the middle of the room.

Easy to setup and use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup. Easier than echo. Works well with smartthings and Phillips hue. Good features and like that you don't have to load skills to use. Echo has more options but this is great and easy to use.

Does better and more than expected, with promise
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google Home mini does more and better than I expected. But there are still things you'd expect it to understand that it doesn't. Google is saying that it will get smarter and more features over time. Sound is good for its size and price, but its small and cheap. It worked well setup near the couch with a Chromecast Audio across the room connected to a standard television soundbar. There are some creepy privacy concerns about the big G listening all the time that I don't dismiss, but I'm still in for using one.

Nice,compact info center
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had another brand device like this and it died on me. So I was walking around the store and came across this Google Mini. It was on Black Friday super sale so I picked one up. Set up was very easy after I downloaded the Google Home app to my phone. You say a few phrases so it learns to recognize your voice and you're set. I put this on my nightstand so I can ask it what the weather is like and whats on my calendar for the day. It does a ton of stuff and I'm still learning. But so far I'm pretty impressed by it. The bigger version is probably the one you want if you want to listen to music. The mini sounds ok for what I want it for. If they're still on sale I'm going to pick up a few more.

Amazing product at a great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love the Google home mini! We already had several larger Google home devices but the mini is perfect for the kids' bedrooms. They live it and it saves me from hearing then talking to the one in the living all day. My boys Emily letting it read stories to them and explain science to them. My girls enjoy listening to music. The best party is the broadcast feature to tell them all when it is time for dinner or time to leave... No more yelling to be heard across the house and in bedrooms when their doors are closed!

Bang for the buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was a good product as is but totally paid off to buy it on black friday. I have the Alexa and the google home mini. I have been using the Alexa to control my smart home but now with mini it extends my smart home capabilities. I personally found that the wemo devices reacted better when commanded through the Alexa. But the chromecast integration is neat and the commands on mini are more conversational. You can ask a follow up question on the mini and it will know the context based on the previous question asked.
