Love it! It paired seamlessly with my WiFi plugs for my lights. I like that there are options of greeting voices. And I have a Google Play music account and it works wonderfully with playing selections from my music library at my request.

Starting to automate our home this year and this was a great starter product. Easy to use and setup. Also, great packaging. Size looks bigger on picture but overall design is on point. After buying and setting up one, went back to the store to buy more.

My only gripe is that even though the instructions say that you can tap the speaker to play/pause or access the assistant, that feature doesn't work. My sister has same speaker and having same issue. However, if you pick it up then it will sometimes play/pause. Voice control works without any issues. Submitted question/feedback to Google but no response yet.

I initially bought this because of the ability to play music and turn on the light but found out I can control my roku tv with it. It has been a life saver after spine surgery when I can't find the remote or it's to far away.

I never thought this tiny device will have such a powerful sound. And as always google is the best with their software.

For simple task it works well asking to turn on or off the TV or lights and so on. But for more complicated takes or questions not so much.
