    The speaker does well with picking up voice recognition and plays music at a very decent volume when all the way up. I do not have a smart home or Chromecast so my features with Google Home are limited. She CAN do a lot more but you must have the required equipment in place. I use her for Pandora and to get the news while I get ready for work. Cool little speaker and she entertains guests with her voice recognition feature. I would say $100.00 is a fair price.

    Google Home is a great home personal assistant. When it is paired with the Hue bridge and Hue light bulbs, you can control the lighting in your house. It is pretty cool to walk around the house and have Google turn on the lights. It is also pretty neat to ask it random questions and have it give you the answers. Only downside is that you can only attach one google account. So, if you want it to read a family calendar, then you need to set up a family account.

    While Alexa got a jump on the market, the Google interface is super smart and helps me win arguments with the wife :-) Also can control lights and similar items around the house!

    I bought 4 Google Home in CA - 1 for my condo in CA & 3 for our homes in Canada. Google Home is not available for sale in Canada yet. It was easy to setup in Canada with my Google account and I was able to get tech help to set the music service option via Google Chromecast tech support transferring me to Google Home support because GH toll free # does not work in Canada My grandkids are having a great time asking Google Assistance questions

    I bought this for my wife for Christmas, primarily for playing music in our kitchen. The sound quality is much better than I expected from such a small device. It also does so much more as far as answering all sorts of questions, etc. It is like having an audio version of Google on your computer, but instead of typing the question, you just verbalize it, and Google Home responds with the answer quickly. I am very pleased with this purchase.

    I bought this for my mom. She is in her 60's and seems to be adapting to this device quite well. She uses reminders and shopping lists all the time. The speaker sounds great and the voice is very realistic. I like it better than my Alexa Echo personally although the Alexa is a bit more "fun" when it comes to what you can do. Google, however, seems to be much better at conversational responses and answering questions.

    I expected more from the Google Home. I have a Chromecast which the Home does work with the Home. So I can say "Hey, Google. Play and Video on my TV and it will play the video. I only received 14 days of Youtube Red which I thought I would thought I would have got 3-4 months of service for free. But the Google Home does not recognize a lot of commands. I have Echo and I feel that the Echo is better but the speakers on the Home sounds better.

    I got this for a Christmas present for my wife and was excited with the thought that this might be a great way to keep the everyday questions from my wife to me between her and Google! It worked! My wife and Google have become best friends and has eliminated the Q&A between my wife and I. I have to say Google Home is awesome and simple to use! We BOTH love it and even bought one for my parents at the age of 78 which they use all day long.

    The speaker is good, sound recognition is functional. The only issue is don't buy this if you are using open network (like univ internet) as it can be accessed by anyone on the network

    I bought this for my grand daughter to play music from Spotify in her bedroom. She loves asking Google all kinds of questions as well. It turns the bedroom lights on and off - it was a good value when it was on sale for 49 bucks. We have several of the Google minis around the house as well and there is so much you can do with these little buggers, I'm hooked.

    Google has become my friend... Gives me weather to start my day and plays music to get me going. I keep in kitchen and is great for timer on cooking and if I have any recipe questions. My husband uses it to ask sports questions. My grandkids are little and love to ask it about different animals and the sounds they make. It seems everyone is enjoying google and sound is great. It was easy to get hooked up to Wi-Fi too.

    Upgraded from the Echo Dot to the Google Home, and I love it. The speaker is really good and Google Assistant is by far smarter than Alexa. The only drawback is that it doesn't have as large of a smart-home ecosystem as Amazon does, but I'm not too keen on that and it doesn't bother me. I have a Google Play subscription, and it lets me seamlessly play any music i want just by asking for it. Kids love asking her questions too :)
