Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow! Amazing. I love my Google home, I have set alarms when I forgot, without getting out of bed. Nice. It finds music I like, or a certain song. Employees of best buy, were very knowledgeable of Google home. Still learning more and having fun with my GH.

When I purchased this I had a Amazon Echo and was trying to figure out which was better. I now have 3 Google Homes and I sold the Echo. Hands down no competition. Although Google doesn't have as many partners as Amazon, it won't be long before they catch up and surpass Alexa!

I caught this on sale and it works perfectly in the kitchen. You can either use it as a timer or let it play some music while cooking. Best cooking mate!!!

Love this thing, we received this as a free gift with our appliance purchases I didn't even know what it was but it's fantastic OK Google and it does anything you wanted to do, well just about anything

GOOGLE Home is My New Best Friend. He is there for me (I change the voice), 24/7, as well as google home support. The price is great. I set timers. Learn languages. Greatest home companion.

This is our second Google home in addition to one Google Hub and one Google Mini. They all work great and can be linked together.

Use it all the time, plays my music, answers questions, entertains the kids, tells me current weather conditions to name a few uses! Sleek and stylish...

My boyfriend and I have the Google mini speakers, the hub and this smart speaker. They go along with our Phillip Hue smart lights. They have been a great addition to the house. You can set timers to turn on lights when you’re not home. It answers questions for us when we debate who’s right (of course I am....lol) when we’re bored it seven tells us a joke. Ha In all seriousness, we enjoy having all of them in the house and the add a convenience when we don’t want to get up to turn lights on or off.

an amazing product,i am very happy with this purchase and recommend any and every one to buy this device!

Is perfect , the sound is perfect , but!!!,I think that can be sound a little better is hi if quality is about

In the box there is the device itself, a power cord, and some papers like the quick start guide, etc. The set up was pretty straight forward. You plug it in, it will boot up and when its done booting it makes the same chime sound the Google Pixel does which I thought was a cool touch. You then have to install the Google Home app from either the play store, or Apples app store. For me this was from the play store. After installing the app you begin the set up. It will ask for various permissions for example location. The next step was a device search. It immediately located my Google Home device. It then sets up a temporary Wi-Fi hotspot while it connects. Once its connected it will do a connection test by chiming a sound from the Home. If you hear it you have connected successfully. It then asks you what room the device will be in. You have the standard options like Living room, etc. For me I scrolled all the way down and chose “other” and manually entered a room name. The next step was connecting to the same Wi-Fi network that your phone is on. For me it automatically had the correct SSID and password so I didnt have to enter it.

The next step was connecting to the same Wi-Fi network that your phone is on. For me it automatically had the correct SSID and password so I didnt have to enter it. After that initial set up you then get to the “Meet your Google Assistant” steps. This was locating my address, selecting whether or not I wanted email notification, and choosing my music service. You have several music service options like Google play Music, Youtube, Spotify, and Pandora. In my case I used the Google play music. After this it went into an audible tutorial on just a few of the things it can do. For example giving you the weather, time, setting alarms. If you are bored it can also tell you jokes, read poetry, sing songs, and you can even play games with it such as trivia, mad libs, etc. These could really come in handy if your bored. During this step it also told me I had a free 6 month subscription to Youtube Red which I thought was pretty cool. One of the main things people will want to do with this of course is play music. It is very easy. You can choose specific songs, albums, or even just ask it to play random music from a certain genre. For example I said “OK Google, play me some dubstep”. It then played some dubstep from a google play music station. I was honestly surprised at how good music played from such a small device. The bass was much more than I expected. The highs, mids, and vocals are all very clear as well. In other words it sounded great. Another useful feature that I'm sure a lot of people will use it for is of course Google searches. It does this very well and because it is connected directly to Googles network it is very accurate, and can do a lot more than you might think. The searches are also contextual meaning you can ask it something, then continue with that topic without having to specify that topic again. For example you could ask it “How old is George Clooney”, then say “what are some of his movies” without having to say “What are some of George Clooneys movies”. It will know the subject you are already asking about. But you do have to say “OK Google” before each, it wont work if you just ask the question without first saying “OK Google”. This is of course so it wont always be talking when you are asking someone else near it a question. It has to be activated with “OK Google” or “Hey Google”. The device itself looks a lot like an air freshener. Its very small and can fit pretty much anywhere. It comes with a grey base, but this can be swapped out with optional bases that are different colors to match your houses theme if you want to. The top of the device is also a touch pad. You can use this to control music, adjust the volume, or start and stop searches with a tap. The microphone on it is very good as well. I was surprised at how it heard me perfectly. Even when it is playing loud music you can say “OK Google” to stop, pause, go to next or previous track, or even adjust the volume. It will also connect to any Chromecast devices you have. I dont have any at the moment, but it would for example connect to any external speaker system you had if it had Chromecast. You can then choose to play music from your speaker system instead of the Google Home device. It can also connect and control lights, and thermostats that are network connected. Our house doesn't have any of these yet, so I guess at the moment our house isn't “Smart” yet. But the Google Home is a step in that direction for sure. At the moment it does have some limitations. For example when trying to make calls or send texts it will say “I cant do that YET”. The “YET” I am assuming means it will be able to soon. I'm sure with updates and time there will be a lot more this little device can do. But even now it is quite handy. The Google Home is great device that will smarten up any home.

I love this item better than the echo dot..the sound and knowledge is awesome

5 STARS love my GOOGLE HOME. EasY to work and a lot a lot of FUN

Google home has answers to everything. Great product/toy

Kids love to play nursery rhymes. We can control our smart bulbs and tv even when away from home. Really love it. Only problem u need YouTube or Spotify subscription for specific song request. It would be wonderful if it's come with free YouTube premium subscription.

I decided to try Google home because I already have Amazon echo. Google is more responsive to my Hue lighting system and gives more and better answers to questions, however it lacks in music sound quality. There are certain things each does better than the others but the Echo had better skills (apps).

I just wanted a good Bluetooth speaker and an assistant for low cost. I have hit the jackpot with Google home.

I bought Google Home as a present for my boyfriend and he loved it! I considered Amazon Alexa but after reading the reviews I opted for Google Home. I feel that it does so much more and it is more affordable. My boyfriend stamped it with his company LOGO

I just bought this device for the novelty... Had to decide between this and the Echo... I am happy I bought this one because it is more user-friendly and it understands my commands better... I ended up buying two more and gave my friend one as a gift...

This product is very helpful because it can wake you up in the morning. And it also tells you the weather so you were the proper clothing and it also controls my air conditioner and lots of other smart devices.
