    SO far I've really enjoyed the Google Home. Being able to walk in and just ask it to start playing music is awesome. I also got a Chromecast Audio, so I can have the same song play to multiple parts of the house for parties and such. I highly recommend it.

    purchased for someone not so tech savvy. Easy setup and really good price. I was amazed at how well it heard the command "Ok Google" through room noise. you can yell at this thing from just about anywhere and it will hear you. even if music is playing loudly it hears you.

    I am not into having everything controlled by a smart phone or the internet. Received this as a gift from my husband. Great for asking the weather, play variety of music and odd trivial questions. I dont have it connected to my lights nor my tv and dont plan on it.

    A good start, but needs work

    The good: Virtually unlimited access to music with a premium YouTube Red or Google Play music subscription. Guests love being able to just name a song and have it played. The IFTTT integration is a good start for home-automation, but native WeMo support would be better. The bad: The microphone is pretty spotty. If you have music playing, expect that you may need to shout the activation phrase to get a response. I'm getting maybe a 75% success rate from within 20 feet of the unit when using one of the activation phrases. The phrases ('OK, Google' or 'Hey Google') are a little awkward and not customization. It seems to be triggered at odd times by the TV as well. If you're invested in the Google ecosystem with Android phones or TV, Chromecast etc..., it's a better alternative than Amazon Echo. If not, you may prefer Echo due to the better microphone, Amazon Prime integration and more extensive collection of 3rd party add-ons.

    We recommend the Google Home. We placed it on our kitchen counter. We use it several times a day for music and for other information. We add things to our Google Keep shopping lists. We also use the Google Home to control, by voice, our three Nest Thermostats.

    Bought this for my two daughters who have questions all day long. Great for homework and just general silly questions. But I love it for playing my music in and around the house. I also received the Echo Dot (Alexa) from a friend so I'll see how that compares.

    Google got the set up right, very easy to get running. Having both Alexa and Google home I find a use for both. Trying things against both units is entertaining. Every week it gets better and better at learning what you ask and answering properly.

    Absolutely love our Google Home, have it in our bathroom for when we are getting ready and/or freshening up. Good quality sound for the price. Of course having google assistant right there is very convenient as well. Great device!

    This Google Home device is well made, looks nice on my kitchen counter and has great sound. There's a lot of questions that google says she doesn't know the answer to yet but is still learning. So in the meantime, we just have to wait for software updates to come through.

    This was a gift for my son. He loves it. He linked it to his Spotify account and really enjoys using it to listen to music. I have had trouble with voice recognition systems not understanding me in the past. This system handles my voice with no problems. Very impressive.

    I have had the google home for over a year. No issues at all. The speaker has good quality sound. Love the "ask google" feature. Love the shopping list. Only complaint, I wish you could organize your shopping list by type of store.

    The Google Assistant is just about the most useful thing I've ever gotten. It's crazy smart and I rely on it more than I know. Also, the sound quality of this little guy is pretty impressive considering how small the actual speaker is.

    The item is kinda bulky, however, looks classy and sounds great. At times I do have to repeat myself for it to start but overall its a good product. The only down side it must must be plugged in at all times. Wish it had a wireless capabilities for power.
