    This is my second Google Home Mini. They are simple to setup and it as good volume for such a small speaker. I got this one when it was in sale for $25, definitely worth that price!

    I had Amazon Echo for a while, and I wanted to try Google Home Mini. In some way, it's better than Echo for example, it recognizes voice far better than Echo Dot. When there is a schedule in Korean, Google home reads in Korean, in my voice!!! While Echo does not know if there is something on my calendar. In some ways, Echo is better than Google Home. Google home mini's bluetooth is terrible. It keeps being interrupted often so I cannot play music on a bluetooth speaker. To connect a bluetooth speaker, I have to change default speaker on Google home app. But for Echo Dot, I can just say "connect my speaker" then it connect to the one connected last. I will keep both Amazon Echo Dot and Google Home mini since both has pros and cons.

    Great Mini Smart Device

    For $30, the sound quality when playing music using this device is beyond my expectation. It is really responsive. Pairing devices such as Nest takes some time because you need to download apps for both Google assistant and Nest app and spend some time on settings and registration. It will be great if future models have rechargeable batteries since the white power cord can't be hidden to make your device look better in your room.

    Love my Google Home Mini! It's a great addition to my home office. I am impressed with how clearly the device understands questions and commands. It's also well synchronized with both Apple and Android Google Home Apps. You can view your speaker history and interact with it via a phone or tablet. Very pleased, indeed!

    Quick Answers - Handy & Fun - Endless Commands

    I absolutely love my little Google Home Mini. It sounds great for its size, plus I can have it play music on my soundbar. I also have a Google Chrome on my TV that it can control. There are so many new commands and resources it can connect to and the list keeps growing and growing. I love being able to instantly ask it a question when something comes to mind faster and easier than it would take me to use my phone. Plus it's great for quickly adding things to my shopping list, my calendar, and it can tell us apart so it knows who's shopping list or schedule to put what on. Plus there are fun games and great things for kids. Check out the Google HOME app on your phone before you buy one even, and hit the compass icon to explore the huge list all you can do. It's amazing and endless. Do a Google search for "Google Home complete list of commands" or "New Google Home commands" to get an idea of what it can do too.

    Admittedly, I'm still getting to know all of the features, and there are plenty to explore. While the sound quality doesn't deliver deep bass tones, it is great for a smaller room (an office, for example). I also have an Amazon Alexa, so comparing the two early on it's an even race in terms of features/capabilities.

    The Google Home Mini has a lot of sound for a tiny package. The voice sounds more natural compared to other smart speakers. You will you get answers to questions that pop into your head and you can play games with the speaker or a group of people. If you are an inquisitive person, you will enjoy the Google Home Mini.

    The google Home mini is a great entry product to a smart home/assistant. Since getting it I’ve enjoyed being able to start my day by saying “hey google! Good morning” and getting a run down of my calendar, weather, and top news headlines. The only issue is that it will occasionally hear “hey google” or something that sounds close to that on a commercial or something and go off so it’s not perfect but it’s a fun little accessory!

    The Google - Home Mini is the perfect size and shape to fit unobtrusively in any room. It is just a functional as a full size Google Home assistant. As the capabilities of this item grows every day, it is fast becoming indispensable to my daily life.

    Having used Alexa I wanted to try out the mini to compare. On first impression I like the responsiveness of the mini vs the Echo dot. From across the room and even a slightly above whisper tone the mini heard me. And so far the google home mini understood everything I’ve said when Alexa sometimes doesn’t understand.

    The Mini is a great compliment to my current Google Home for multiple rooms in my house. They also make great stocking stuffers! I love being able to play the same song on all of my speakers and Homes at once. And the new broadcast /intercom feature is also pretty cool. Sounds much better than my Amazon Echo Dot.

    This year for Christmas I bought this for my nephew - he loved it. I have one myself in my home office and basically use it like a speaker phone. It is reliable, small and easy to set up.

    I feel like the only difference in the Google Mini and the regular Google Home is, obviously, their size. But the commands, capabilities, and operations are still the same. I have a regular sized Google Home in the living room and this Google Mini in the bedroom. It works great! I can ask it for the time, for a rundown of my calendar when I wake up, I can ask it what the forecast is going to be so that I'll know how to dress that morning. You can even ask it to tell you a joke if you need a little laugh. If you also have things like Chrome Cast, you can operate them through the Google Home Mini as well, once you've synced them up in the Google Home Assistant app.

    Don't let it's size fool you, the sound on this device will catch you by surprise! Clean and understated design helps this fit into every room. We placed them throughout the house (bathroom, bedroom, living room) so we can always stay connected and have music readily available without draining our phone batteries.

    To be clear, I am not an audiophile and so am not very picky about the sound quality. You ask it to play music, it plays music. You can't ask much more at this price point. It was easy to set up (easier still since I already have the Google Home app) and operates just like the full-size Google Home. No complaints.

    I decided to purchase Google Home mini, during Black Friday price drops. I originally had the Amazon Echo and found it just is not as good in search results as the Google Home is. Also, as I expand my smart home purchases, with Nest products, Google Home fits directly with those products. Well worth the purchase.

    It is an absolutely great product. I bought this on Black Friday at great deal. This product does great job in understating different accents and almost 99% accurate. It plays the music I want , Puts alarms , tells everything what google search will tell. I still need to explore it more. Seems unlimited potential.
