    Google home is great. Listens to what I say and answers all my questions. Keeps my shopping list and plays music I want to hear. Easy to setup and use.

    I purchased this for my parents for the holidays as my mom had told me she had recently gotten rid of her old stereo and missed having music in the living room. The setup was quite easy and the unit recognized the voices of our entire family. We loved that you could request music without having to setup any sort of account as long as you sync the device to your existing gmail/google account. My husband and I have a Sonos speaker and the sound quality is definitely much more powerful/clear on that, but the Sonos does not have the smart technology of asking questions etc... The device was able to answer basic questions, like scores of sports games, things you would find on wikipedia etc. However, when asking location based questions, it was not that great and often didn't recommend things that were close to your location despite specifying and the unit already having your physical location setup. It would also often answer with "I can't help you with that, yet," which could be quite frustrating as we really weren't asking anything too difficult. It'll be interesting to see how much this is used aside from playing music, but for that reason alone, it'll do the trick. Although if you're looking for something that can really fill a room with quality sound output, similar to a stereo, I would recommend the Sonos or equivalent instead. My parents are simple and don't care much about super fancy stuff so this will be fine for their music needs.

    My Google Home is a great partner when I don't want to bother doing simple things. I ask it questions, find it about the time and the weather, and tell it to play music and it's pretty on the ball. I also use it to control my Chromecast, which is great for YouTube binges. There are a few weaknesses. Its ability to answer Google-able questions is hit and miss, and it'd be nice if the phone calls showed something other than "Private number" on the other side's caller ID. I also feel like its usefulness is directly tied to the number of connected smart devices you have.

    The Google home makes a great sidekick​ to help you throughout the day, playing music, telling you the weather and so much more. Integrates very well with the Phillips Hue system to add voice control to the home and helps over simplify daily tasks. I purchased multiple for my home and lumped them together so they can all play music at the same time. Very neat when cleaning.

    This product is absolutely amazing!! Simple set up, great sound quality, compact size. Works well out of the box with my Belkin Wemo Light switches and Nest Thermostat. Integrates seamlessly with my Google Account to keep me up to date with my daily schedule, set up lists and play my music. I will be purchasing 2 more for my home so I can have access from everywhere.

    Incredibly easy setup. Didn't think I would use it that much but it surprised me. I use it for alarms, setup shopping list, lights, smart plug, control all media equipment (with Harmony Hub) and list of other things. Everything is out on the web with how to use this, what can be asked and fun Easter eggs. With the recent update, it works ever better and more useful. Only thing that took a while is remembering how to ask questions or to give it commands in the right way. That was a learning curve for me but gets easier with time.

    Google home understands our voice commands great. We asked her to play some Christmas songs. We were in the other room so we asked her to turn the music up louder and louder until we could here it from the other room. I was amazed at the clairity of the speaker system. Love it. We actually bought from the plover Best Buy. Not happy with their customer service so went to the rib Mountain location. They were very helpful. I bought more Christmas presents from them. I will definitely do my business at the Rib Mountain location.

    I love my google home. I have my whole house connected. Just ask for google to do it and it’s done without having to get up. It turns my lights and thermostat on and off. Locks my door (will not open it - good feature). Tells me my morning briefing, schedules, time it will take me to get to work. Updates me on the news. Turns my TV on and off when I ask. Sets the mood at request, turns on music you want. If you don’t know what you want to listen to just ask it to play something you will like; does not disappoint. And oh yes, the speakers are great for the size and when I want some bigger sound, I just ask google to play it on my home theater instead and it works seamlessly. Google Nest is always updating and adding new features. Oh and did I say, I just shout out things I want to add to my shopping list from the kitchen and it just get added?!?! There are a lot of other features that I just don’t have time to ramble on about but if you are looking for a smart assistant, Google Home has the power of Google.
