    I have both Alexa and Google Home. Google Home seems better on listening and respond to my command, it also respond back promptly. Using Google Home for music playback is super and bring up good suggestion song..

    I found this product to be a little buggy at times. But my overall impression is that it can be very useful and lots of fun! I can play music, listen to the radio, get the weather, and also get lots of information. The speaker is pretty impressive for its size. That only makes it worth the money.

    The Google Home Mini was easy to install and setup. I find I use it for cooking timers and checking the weather. A feature I really like is the phone calling feature that doesn’t require a cell phone or landline.

    This product is very great. All that is needed is just a quick download of a free app and the rest is linked through WiFi and Bluetooth features. Voice recognition feature is pretty accurate and works very well.

    Great little gadget that can tell you the temperature outside to also commanding it to call you any name you’d like such as King or Queen. Lol you will not be bored with this device. For the price, it’s a steal.

    Got this for a great deal Black Friday. I have known of smart speakers but never really thought that I'd like to own one. Decided to give it a shot because of the great deal. Made my life totally easier. I connected most of my lights and other devices on the device and everything worked like a charm. No more finding my way in the dark at night. Now cannot live without it. Will continue to research more awesome stuff to do with it.

    If you have IoT devices (Thermostat, light switches etc) then this devices makes it really easy to control them in an handsfree environment. Wh you are cooking or have hands full of tools and need to set a time or find something out. Just being able to use your voice makes it a fantastic device.

    Google Mini is a decent product and provides accurate responses for most of the basic questions. It offers a good speaker output and does recognize voice from a good distance. Definitely worth a buy for $29.99..

    Fun Gadget, Great product

    We have had this google mini installed in our kitchen. Firstly to set the google mini you need to download the google home app and follow the setup instructions, this is common of many electrical products. The set up did seem to take a long time but this could of been down to my internet connectivity rather than the app itself. The google mini needs to be plugged in at all times, It would of been nice if the cable colour matched the device to blend it in more as the white cable stands out on our black worktops and the actual plug is bulky but this is personal preference and doesn't affect the product. We have been very impressed with the google minis 'understanding' it never fails to answer or perform the task requested regardless of who has asked it, woman, man, or child. As a speaker I don't think the sound quality is as good as other speakers on the market but that said other speakers don't remind you to make a packed lunch or tell you how long to cook roast parsnips for. We haven't got Spotify or googleplay which are the main music platforms supported by the voice activation but it is simple to pair your phone or table via Bluetooth to play music. You can request it plays radio stations for you without the need for a secondary device nearby if you don't use the above mentioned platforms. There is so much this device can do and we haven't even begun to fully utilise it yet, what we have done is; -Stored shopping lists on it so when you've got dirty hands cooking and use the last of something you can add it to the shopping list straight away without forgetting - Kitchen timer, you can ask it how long is left on the timer too - New and weather updates specific to you're local area or wherever else you request - Recipes - Radio - TImer My 9 year old has particularly enjoyed some of the fun features like beat boxing, trivia games and getting the answer to his maths homework. This is a fun family gadget.

    I love how it recognizes my voice from others and how the sound is so clear. I can be in another room and still hear it. It has been very helpful since the day I bought it. I can't imagine being without it now.

    We got the standard Google Home last Christmas. We've used it every day since. Seeing the offer for the little guy at Best Buy, I just had to have one. Guess what my wonderful wife is getting, this Christmas...

    I habe both Alexa and Google home mini. I prefer alexa for certain things, such as playing music from my prime music library and ordering items from amazon, obviously. But Google home can answer way more questions than alexa can. And if you have the play music subscription, even better music.

    Very easy setup and initial use. We also needed to purchase the Google Chromecast adapter for our Sony TV to enable the Google Home mini to communicate with it. It should get plenty of use from our household.
