    Great additional for a smart home

    First off, the two main reasons I bought a Google Home vs. Amazon Alexa is because 1) We do not have an Amazon Prime account and 2) My whole family (including my kids) have gmail accounts. This was easy to set up and has many options available for expanding your smart home. My family loves being able to select different types of music for their listening experience. I know some reviews complained of low quality speakers, but I think they sound just fine. I'm guessing you can really only tell a difference if you have multiple products next to each other, playing at the same time, to truly tell a difference. I will be purchasing the Google minis in the future for use in our kids room as well.

    Purchased the google home after reading reviews on it against the Amazon Alexa. The google home has a better reference library and is easy to work with. Links up to many different applications we already have.

    This product can answer almost any question i ask and can perform many functions without using a computer. I'm glad I bought this over Alexa and Homepod...It is more tuned in to my needs.

    I was very impressed with the sound quality. I own multiple google homes and use them every day. It's great for music, reminders, timers, conversations, and all sorts of other things.

    I bought this as a present for my wife. She loves using it to play music. It is also fun to ask it questions and listen to it's answers. My neighbor ran out to buy one after seeing how well it worked.

    I think Google has a great chance to get this out to everyone's home. It's very convenient and the most recent update has made it so multiple profiles can be added to the google home. I love this!

    Setting this up was a great experience. It was up and running in five minutes, linked to my content accounts, and streaming media like a champ. A couple of cute easter eggs that the kids had fun with too :)

    I own amazon echo already, if I compare it with Google Home. I would say Google home beats echo all hands down with many more features to offer. Secondly I found sound quality a bit better than echo.

    Google is definitely going the right direction, I would like to see future updates. If you speak to google through your phone you will love google home. Works well with google music if you are subscribed to it.

    Google's home assistant device is a look into the future. While not perfect, you can see where things are going in terms of voice control and home automation. Good follow-up to Amazon's offer.

    I have had fun asking questions and asking her to say phrases in different languages, good speaker but sometimes google only has one version of a song and it's not the one you want, I still enjoy it very much.
