    Google Home is much better than Echo / Alexa. I have 2 Google Home units, a Mini and a standard one as well as an Echo Dot. Echo / Alexa is fine for controlling lights and shopping but Google Home is able to actually answer your questions, Echo / Alexa is dumb in comparison. An added plus is that the Google Mini sounds better than the comparable Echo Dot when playing music.

    For being so small the speaker really cranks out the volume. Also the home mini is typically pretty good about detecting my voice. Google assistant is by far the superior voice assistant and I love how it interacts with all of my other google products or serivces (chromecast, android, iphone, etc). For the price it's definitely worth it. Only things I would change is being able to run aux out in to another set of speakers and the ability to change the alarm sound to something that acutally wakes me up.

    Having used other Google products, installation was easy and quick. The device understands voice commands very well, and answers questions correctly. However, beyond checking the weather or playing music, we still haven’t found much use for it. I’m hoping that as we add other home automation devices, this device can control them, so for example, we can turn on lights by voice command. The only aspect that is not very easy to use is the volume control. Finding the exact spots to press is not that easy.

    I got so spoiled having a Google Home mini in my den, I realized I needed another one for my bedroom. This device lets me play music, interact with my lights and opens up the world of radio stations. When I have trouble sleeping, I'll say "Hey Google, play soft jazz for 20 minutes". As its capabilities grow, the Google Home mini will become indispensable for every home.

    We have the main Google home unit in our living room so we got this to put in our bedroom upstairs and it's just the perfect combo and a great size to use in a bedroom I feel. Very stylish looking as well.

    I love this device. I read reviews online and looked at comparison videos on youtube with amazon's echo dot, and I gotta say this is better than amazon. I also asked best buy tech employees about which one is better, they all say google mini because you can talk to it more freely whereas the echo dot, you have to form sentences in a specific way for it to understand you.
