    best voice recognition around

    The voice recognition is great, even if you're in the next room and speak quietly it hears you and responds quickly. It's a bit limited on services right now but is quickly adding more. It works really well with a chromecast to let you voice control your TV. If you're fairly certain you'll use it go ahead and upgrade to the regular home for a slightly better speaker and the touch button on top

    I recently purchased the Insignia Voice Smart Speaker. I was so impressed with its operation, I purchased another. This was my first experience with any smart speaker. The Google Assistance function is fantastic. I purchased the Google Home Mini to supplement my collection of smart speakers since it can place a phone call. The Insignia Voice cannot place a call at this time. Hopefully, this feature will be added with the next software upgrade. However, I Like the Google Home Mini. It will play music request on the Chromecast Audio Link ( Purchased separately) attached to an external speaker of your choice. I am very pleased with my purchase.

    It was a great price for a Google Home mini. I decided to get this and installed it upstairs in our house, so I can use Google Home while I am upstairs. The setup was very easy and the sound was great. I wish that Google would make it connect with my regular Google Home as a intercom device.

    I thought I’d give google Home a try and I was concerned that the size would not make me happy. However, it is perfect and out of sight, so I love it. I use Bose for all music, this item was purchased only for smart capabilities. If you want it for sound, definitely go with the larger model.

    I thought the most usefull use case will be just to ask for weather as needed on the go. But there are other better use cases like listening to radio on tunein and for kids this is wonderful as they can hear stories, jokes, music when needed as well as play games in groups...fully satisfied.

    Great sound quality and room filling ability. Little brother of the Google Home is not to be underestimated. With the Google Assisntant inside and ability to recognize your voice from others to give you a personalized response, this is a must have for anyone that multitaksks on a daily basis

    Google Home Mini was very easy to setup and connect to the WiFi. It understands comments accurately. It was easy to configure our Phillips Hue Lights, Nest Thermostat, and Harmony Hub with the Google Home App. The Google Home Mini controls all of our smart home devices easily and accurately.

    I decided to get a smart home, so I could connect my nest and Philips Hue lights, and it was the best decision ever. It has helped me around the house. It allows me to start timers while my hands are dirty, listen to music while cooking, or know how my day is looking. I recommend getting it.

    Best Speaker Assistant

    Very good deal for this item. Makes it easy to set reminders, and the speaker is great for the size. I have an echo dot, but this one takes the prize for me. I bought 3 more for other rooms in the house. Would definitely recommend this over the echo just for the smoothness of the assistant.

    Great Mini Home Speaker

    I haven't tried all the features just yet. But what I have used is the music player. It understands Spanish way more than Alexa. It's able to give me Spanish music stations and by name of the artist. The volume is really good for a small speaker. It has a decent Mic as well. The Google home app on my phone doesn't work but on my husband's it does. Still need to figure out what's going on.

    The sound quality is wonderful for so small. Very fun options to play with. My husband loves the ever changing music and the ability to schedule reminders and events on the spot. My kids love asking google for a joke and I love asking how to spell tricky words and what sounds animals make.

    I bought an Amazon Echo & 2 Echo Dots before I tried Google Mini & I have to say, I wish I would've tried Google first. It responds quicker & hears me in a lower voice than Echo. It also can respond to more than 1 command with just 1 wake up word. Overall, it's definitely worth the money.

    It’s nice and small and easy to use. My MIL has the Google Home and wanted something so she could listen to music in her bathroom. We got her one of these and got us one as well for the same reason. The volume is great and my kids annoy the bajeezus out of me with “hey google” constantly.

    This has been a great addition to our home. I enjoy the daily weather update and news. My toddler loves to ask it to play kids songs and my husband likes the commute time to work updates. We don’t have smart light bulbs yet but plan too. I bought these for bristmas gifts for friends too.

    This a great little product purchased from BestBuy. This makes it really easy to search by voice and is fun to use too. I think it will be very helpful for students who needs a quick translation or to define a term quickly. It's not perfect but it will get better as it gets more updates.

    I bought this to try out the Google home features. It works as expected. Compared to other devices, it's good ad recognizing what you're saying. It's also nice that it accesses all of your Google stuff. The only reason I didn't give it more stars is because you can't Bluetooth it to a larger speaker for bigger sound.

    Ok so I have like 3 maybe 4 haha so far around the house and I luv them. Like the style and shape and they r loud for being small. They connect to everything like my hue lights and nest cameras and control my Sony smart TVs like if I tell it to play something from Netflix. I’m amazed and I’m buying more. Bought one for my nephews room. Bought it for when he was born and playing calming music or even music would keep him calm now he’s 1 year and he lives it. And his Disney golden books r interactive with google mini. So it plays background music and sound effects when reading the Disney golden books.
