    I'm amazed at how well Google Voice can understand my commands when I speak at a normal speaking volume from across the room. Of course it's not flawless, but the number of commands that don't work is far fewer than the ones that do and new features are constantly arriving. I would especially recommend purchasing Hue lighting and a Chromecast for your TV with this. I can amaze all of my guests with this.

    Would not suggest any smart speaker over it. Period. It has the backside AI configuration, I mean it is Google. You don't have to install functions on this one like the Amazon. It's ready to go the moment out the box. Does not sound robotic or like it's reading off a script. You can ask about recipes, math, medical, and even chemistry. The hardest thing about to google home is remembering to be use it.

    Bought this Google Home as a 2nd device to our original. Works great because we use it fully (meaning for more than just music). You could really use a Google mini to do most of the same chores, but the big sound in such a small package helps to make this worth it. Always check for the updates as to it's new abilities and it'll show it's worth for some time to come.

    Very cool technology. It's like having someone in your house doing things for you. Just ask google. She'll try to find whatever information or song you want.

    Google's original Home speaker still outperforms

    I have two of these and love them. I also have 4 Nest minis and many other products attached to my google home. I find the sound to be a but bass heavy for corner placement , but that means I can place it just about anywhere and get decent sound. It is a much better device than the Echo that is collecting dust in my laundry room.

    I love using Google home, the only reason this is not a 5 star is because this system still needs more time to learn and catch up to the other one that is out there.

    This device is great for providing a quick answers to your questions. In regards to its ability to play music, the speaker is only adequate. If you position the speaker towards the center of the room the sound is fine but either side or behind the speaker the sound is not as good. I would hope that the next generation of the Google speaker will have 365° of speaker for maximum sound excellence.

    I bought this item for my 86 year old tech savvy mom for Christmas, she love it and so did the 22 family members there on Christmas Eve when she opened it. It was a super easy and very quick to setup. Everyone started asking questions and the laughter was endless. I bought one the next day for my home and my mom's 75 year old neighbor bought one too. As of today 4 family members have purchased one too.

    After reading reviews, decided on the Google Home. Reviews claimed the sound quality was much better than the Amazon Echo, which we found to be true. We love to ask Google to play our favorite songs. The downside is that sometimes Google Home doesn’t know all the answers, but it really depends on how you ask the question. Google Home can tell some pretty lame jokes.

    I was looking for a new toy, and asked around about Google Home and the Amazon products. Overall the recommendations went toward Google Home. I purchased it and am very happy with it. It took a couple minutes to set it up on my phone and I was able to utilize it right away. No need to be a techie to handle Google Home. I use it every day, most often for music. The speaker quality is great.

    Google Home works well for our purposes, but isn’t without flaws. Doesn’t always understand our commands. Solid personal assistant, but hoping for some improvements.

    I purchased the home so I can get radio, interactive stuff, help with emails and all that. She is fun to play with, helps every morning when I ask "who's my day?" by telling me my commute time and weather, I can ask her to play stuff while I do the dishes, I can ask her random questions, I can ask her to play Netflix on my tv and YouTube (which I frequent) and I can't wait for more advances to be made

    So this device is meant to compete with Amazon Echo but honestly at the moment there isn't much competition. The Google Home can do the basics such as answer questions, play music, turn off lights, etc. But it can't order stuff, call people, text people, or a lot of popular things you would ask your phone or Alexa. Other than that, it is a great price of tech to have in your home. I am sure it will get better over time.
