Customer Ratings & Reviews

This little thing is a great way to dip your toe into the smart home world. Recognizes my voice easily and can do lots of handy things. Searching, music, Chromecast integration, calendar organization. Love it

We have a full size google home, so buying a mini to accompany it was a no brainer. The Black Friday price was so good I bought 2 others as gifts. I like that you can broadcast messages from one to the other.

Worse than Alexa at playing music. Alexa on Amazon Prime is amazing, but Alexa is bad at answering data based questions. Google mini is astounding at finding and giving info! The only bad/dumb thing about the mini is its lack of a stereo output jack. Can't play it through an external stereo.

I love these for listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks and news in the morning while getting ready. You put multiple ones in a group and listen to the same things all throughout the house, which is nice when you're doing a lot of cleaning. I've also used them to broadcast messages like "dinner's ready" to people in other rooms of the house. And of course, it's great to be able to turn on and off lights from anywhere with a voice command.

Google Home Mini is a great companion to the Google Home Assistant. Picked up a few of these for Christmas presents. Having used a Google Home I am eager to try adding a Mini Home to my home automation setup.

Technically easy to use and set up. Great use for hands free deeds like calling phone #s, weather, look up questions etc without using a phone or computer. Getting all this for $29, a steal for what it does.

Its super steal deal to get a smart speaker for 20$.The Google Home mini is a nice compact interactive device. You can set it up for a male or female voice with Multiple accounts and the voice sounds natural compared to Amazons Alexia. You can add different features such as news, &. weather.

I have found more use in this than I had expected. I love it now and expect to become accustomed to it soon. I have been happy with its ability to understand me and complete tasks. I definitely recommend it.

Smarter than Alexa considering it is using google’s search engine. Only set back is no Bluetooth connection. Bargain price when I bought it. Easy to set up.

We have a google Home, and wanted to connect several rooms of the house without buying the full home for the less used rooms. We love how the home and minis connect to each other. The speaker quality is not a good as the home, but totally worth the price, especially the Black Friday deal!!!

Does everything the original Google Home does but for a fraction of the price. A hundred dollars less to be more specific. Love it and loved it so much I decided to get 3 for my family as christmas presents.

The Google Home Mini is a stylish-looking speaker with surprisingly strong sound quality for its size. My con is that it doesn't have a jack out and requires Chromecast Audio in order to connect with at external speaker setup. A solid accessory, but not the centerpiece of your smarter home.

Jury still out if the Google Mini outperforms Alexa. Sound quality is much better as is response to general queries "Google who has the most goals in the NHL?" App/Task integration not quite to Amazon Echo Dot but seems to be getting there. Recommend for music, linking to gcal, etc

It can answer any question that you can think to search of in Google. Sometimes you might have to phrase your questions a certain way, but for the most part it works the way it should. I also bought smart lights to go along with this and it works okay. It’s not the best but it does the job.

I've bought four of these devices in both black and white cloth cover, they came free with the Nest thermostats. It was an easy setup when you link your google account to it. There is a hardware button to mute the microphone. I've accepted devices listening all the time and pray that google isn't an evil corporation ;-) Besides it's just like carrying around my cell phone around all the time that has a better microphone and is both wifi and cellular. I would recommend using a separate router/switch for your IOT devices so they are on a different network than your main network. You can use your speakers together as a group for casting to multiple speakers, but I don't think with just two speakers it will play in stereo. I believe there is a dev way to set it up that I will try later some time. It does recognize different voices and you can link up to three different google accounts, my wife and I did setup multiple accounts and it does recognize which account to use by our voices after you do voice setup and link it to the specific account. I can also control my Nest devices from any of the four mini devices CONS: you can accidentally press the sensitive side buttons for volume when picking up the device. I don't know if they have a bracket to hang it on the wall or stand it up on stand, I have some on a higher shelf and can't see the lights respond to my voice commands, but you can turn on the settings to play a sound note for either start/end of a voice command response. Wish you can you use amazon prime music like pandora premium, I don't know if this was done on purpose being google? Sometimes when we use the free Pandora music service the music will stop randomly, I believe because Pandora is asking if you are still listening and you have to click online that yes you are still listening. We don't have this issue with the premium spotify services.

The Google mini is very helpful and so small that you don't even notice that it is here. But if you need information, just say "OK Google..." and your questions are answered. Also it is nice to stream music.

I have always been skeptical of a device like this, mostly because my Android phone essentially does the same thing. What I was surprised about was that the speaker is very good quality and music sounds fantastic. It fills a room and while its not comparable to real bookshelf speakers, it is perfect for our needs of background music while cooking, or listening to news headlines, or entertaining our daughter with a fairy tale. Its so simple to sync with an android device too.

After early adoption with Google Home, I have been pleased to find the Mini for less than half the price. While worth the current price, the fact that the functionality continues to grow is an added bonus.

Once connected to your profile using the app, it is very useful. You can customize this device to your liking by syncing your contacts and other info, etc.
