    I like it. Questions have to be specific or she will reply "sorry, i don't know how to help with that". That part is annoying. When playing music sound is awesome! Kids love asking questions and helpful during homework time.

    I love this product. I love that I can ask "Google" questions and she usually has the answer. Make sure you have your music provider chosen and ready to go and she can play whatever you like. She is even polite. :)

    I look forward to Home learning more through updates. The microphones aren't as sensitive as the Echo, I often have to repeat my command before it pays attention. Speaker is solid and Chromecast integration is a big advantage.

    My teenager purchased this item for himself, but he chose to share with the family, by putting it in the family room. We've all used it for music, information, weather, jokes and entertainment. User friendly by all

    I bought this along with an Amazon Echo and ended up returning the Echo. While the Echo is more put together, the use cases are different. The Echo was a superior music player (Prime Music) and has more "skills". However, the Google Home could give me better answers to the things I cared about: How long would it take to get somewhere, what were the hours to a business, etc...that Echo doesn't answer (outside of traffic to Work - one location you can currently ask about once programmed). Unfortunately, the Google Home doesn't have the connectivity it needs to all the different smart home accessories that Echo communicates with. You can use IFTTT, but native support is slicker. Thankfully, in the month I've owned it, Google has updated and added more compatible devices.

    We are really enjoying our google home. The speaker is just right for enjoying some tunes. Every time we wonder something like an actor's age while watching tv or a movie, we just ask google. It's great!

    I think the concept of Google Home (GH) is awesome. We recently had a baby so I can hold the baby and turn on music. I also connected GH to Chromecast so I can say things like "Ok Google, Play a Casey Neistat video on YouTube to my TV". And viola! It starts to play. That is just one example, but there are so many things you can go like ask Weather, tell joke, traffic report, set timer, set alarm, add things to google calendar, etc, etc. Plus GH will be evolving all the time. The reason I gave it 4 stars.... Well because as of its current state Amazon Echo has more connection. I understand Echo has been out for years and GH for 4 weeks at this point. And because if you are playing the music loud like at volume 8 its hard to get GH to hear you over top of the music.

    Bought it on sale and it's well worth it. We play educational games asking to find various geographical sites, and it integrates well with smart home devices as well.

    I had previously ordered an Alexa but returned it because it was unable to answer basic questions. Decided to go with the Google Home because I was used to using it on my smart phone. It works as well as it did on my phone.

    I have owned the Google home - smart speaker for a while now. for a small speaker, the sound quality is decent. Integrates well with the rest of Google Home items.

    This really sounds like a much larger speaker. I was surprised at how nice it sounds - great bass, clear mid range, nice highs. Connectivity cam be a little iffy at times, but that's probably not the fault of the Home.

    The voice recognition for different users is very handy and seems to work well. The answers to questions are quick and mostly accurate. Haven't tried the home integration yet, but looking forward to that as well.

    This is a cool added feature and with it constantly improving it is handy and provides some nice features. Integrates well with the Nest Thermostat and Phillips Hue lights and works well with the Google Keep app.

    Google home is what I thought it would be and more. There is no need to have a question unanswered, but also the ability to control devices in home, or on command play music, ... no regrets here, and inexpensive.

    Initially, I had a hard time setting this up. Once I got connected, the sound was awesome. I do have a problem getting it to play pandora at times. I don't know if this is a pandora problem, or a google home problem though.

    This has great sound and the bluetooth works great. My only complaint is that you have to have apps and subscriptions for many of requested things. If you bluetooth and your phone you are good though.
