I have this in my kitchen and it does the job. We often use it to play music, which it does well unless you turn it up to the max. Still, for it's size, i'm impressed as the sound quality is solid. It listens well and is perfect for background music while you're cooking.

A great start for a hands free device from Google and I look forward to further improved abilities from Google Assistant. The speakers have great sound quality when playing music or any other media. The limit of the two multi-directional microphones does appear to limit the range of the devices hearing,

This is Google's version of the voice controlled assistance-based devices. Comparable to Amazon's Echo line of devices, this machine will take voice commands that can be used to schedule events, tell you the weather, Google something, etc. Neat devices if you can find a real need for them.

Family Loves The Google Home

We have a couple of Google Homes. One in the family room and another in the living room. It's integrated into my streaming music (Google Play and Pandora). The sound is pretty nice for a small unit. The kids also like to use it to ask questions, or play trivia games, etc.

Absolutely love this home hub. I have Amazon Alexa in the bedrooms (I had them before Google Home) and while Google does not have all of Alexa's skills its far better in voice recognition. Google is quickly added partners and I have no concerns that they will leave Amazon in the dust.

This purchase is my third Google Home device. We use it everyday to set the Nest Thermostat, get the latest weather forecast, hear the news, ask questions, and access our WiFi connected devices. It is easy to set up. Google Home is a bargain! I recommend the Google Home!

I loved my Google Homes, I bought 2 and synced them together and works flawlessly with my Phillips hue lights!
The software needs to be updated, which eventually google will, but the hardware is impressive. The volume is pretty loud considering it's size, and very balanced too.

The Google Home has a lot of potential. Right now it is limited in what It can do but its getting updated with more features often. I like to have it play the news in the morning. I also have it play music when I want. The speaker is surprisingly VERY GOOD! I would definitely recommend this product.

Controls many devices. Software updates seem to have taken care of some minor initial quirks.

Listening to music, asking information, creating lists, syncing with your phone, and even controlling the chromecast. I get great sound for music and thoroughly enjoy this little guy. Even the lady who was previously against this tech uses it now.

I gave this to my son-in-law for Christmas. He did ask for it and was very happy when he got it. I had a chance to see how it worked when he was at our house and connected it. It was pretty amazing. He asked it to play Christmas music and immediately started playing. The sound was great!

I purchased the Google Home over the Amazon Alexa and was sorely dissappointed. While it is advantageous to connect to my email contacts and use the google assistant, on a general use it came up short. Answers to questions were "I don't have that information yet". So I was dissappointed.

He connected without issue and very impressed with the quality of sound. Able to access Google no issues. Only caveat is you have to make sure the phone is off or away, as Google home and the phone will answer. Maybe will be an update where systems can be addressed differently so as not to comingle.
