Great for each room!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google Home Mini is a great add-on to each room and it takes up such little space. I like the color scheme they went with as the neutral color goes with everything. Setting up is fast and easy with the Google app and there are loads of customization. We have this one in our bedroom. It gets used as an alarm for quick naps, playing rain sounds for sleep, reminders and more. It's been super helpful when it's paired with the Phillips Hue suit as I can easily adjust and turn on lights by voice. Also when hooked up to the Ecobee thermostat, you can adjust the temp on the fly. I have tried the alexia, but overall I preferred the Google Home as the voice and 3rd party apps are just better suits for my taste. Also to note the sound is great from a small speaker. It just does so many things right!

Better than echo dot.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on black Friday. Perk was the $10 gift card it came with. This is way smarter than the echo dot. It basically has better response and answers alot better than alexa saying I am still learning... YouTube works great with Google home mini. The speaker is louder and listening to my Spotify Playlist is easy. I don't really need an extra speaker. App is so easy to use. I loved this so much that I bought 5 more. Christmas and birthday gifts!!!

Great device for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small size but good sound and at a very reasonable price that doesn’t bust the budget. Anyone thinking of getting an expensive smart speaker should get this first to see if you like it. Even if you end up going big this speaker works great so you can use it elsewhere.

Excellent for music
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had one Google Home mini in my bedroom when I bought this one. I loved being able to play and control music (I use Spotify) using my voice, and I wanted one for my bathroom, specifically for when I'm taking a shower. I was a little concerned whether the Home mini would be able to understand voice commands over the sound of the shower, but so far it's worked perfectly. The volume is excellent, and I sometimes think I have it on too loud. I live in an apartment and I don't want to be an annoying neighbor, so I have to remember to say "Hey Google, volume 50%". I paid $30 when it was on sale. I would definitely recommend having this unit in one or more rooms. I like being able to play music on both my bedroom and bathroom Home minis at the same time, which I did by setting up a group in the Google Home app. I'm planning on buying a house soon, and when I do I will probably buy a couple more of these to have in my living room and kitchen.

Google - Home Mini - Charcoal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having owned multiple Echo devices for several years I wanted to give Google Home a try. The Mini works well but like the Echo doesn't always know the answer to questions. The success rate to answering questions is a bit better than the Echo devices. As far as interfacing with other devices, I think Google has some catching up to with Amazon. Overall all I am satisfied with my purchase but probably wouldn't have purchased it if it wasn't on sale and included at Best Buy gift card.

Great...with one exception
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a Google Home Mini and was excited to compare it to the Echo Dot. Google Home outperformed the Echo in a couple ways. 1. The sound quality was significantly better. 2. Google Assistant is simply smarter, and produces better information. BUT, the Google Home Mini cannot currently connect to external speakers via bluetooth. This was a deal breaker for me, and it broke my heart to have to return it. Why does this matter? Well, the Google Home is stationary as it plugs into the wall. So, I had it plugged into my bedroom. I frequently connect my Echo to an external speaker and take the speaker into the bathroom as I shower or get ready for the day. It works wonderfully. But Google doesn't let you do this. It was annoying enough for me that I couldn't justify keeping it, as I use it in that scenario so often. So for now I'm back to my Echo Dot - which does connect to my bluetooth speaker.
