    Let me start by saying I love this gadget, but at this time, still prefer my Echo device for home automation. With that said, I purchased the Google Home at Best Buy for my wife to use mainly for music and to also help her with tasks, appointments and google calendar. This device excels in deciphering your speech and translating it into useful commands & searches. Google's music library is good too! My daughter likes animation songs which are readily available where other services did not have them in their libraries. Overall, the Google Home continues to be very impressive and is used daily by every member in our household.

    Products too is overall good, but still not quite as capable as the Echo. If what you need is music, basic news and weather it's great, but it's app integration is too Google-focused.

    Love the Google Home! My favorite use is checking sports scores for my husband without having to constantly search for the game while trying to watch a movie! Worth it for that alone!

    Works great. Plays music, sets alarm, tells me news, plays movies or videos on TV. Does almost everything. Just doesn't make calls but update will soon be available for that.

    I haven't tried to integrate it with many smart devices but I have used it with chromecast and it works great. I also subscribe to google play music, and I can ask it to play something specific and it's pretty much spot on for a specific song/video or playlist relating to a certain artist/genre, if I ask to play something. The sound isn't amazing, but I didn't get it for the speakers. I also tend to use use it for asking about weather and directions ( how long it takes to get somewhere), but also very good at holding a back and forth conversation, and referencing stuff on my calendar, if I ask what I have going on.

    I have been having fun with Google Home, but there were some things I wasn't expecting. First, you have to adjust your Google account to allow Google to save your history and voice actions; otherwise, the Google Home is reduced to basically being a speaker. It also had limitations to which music service you could use - limited options were available. While I know that Google Home's main competitor is the Amazon Echo, it would have been nice to be able to access the huge music library I have through Amazon. That being said, I chose Google Home over Amazon because of the greater search capabilities and other functionalities offered through Google.

    It is great to have the depth of Google readily available. Certainly a disadvantage that it isn't a bluetooth receiver, but for general inquires and basic functions it works well.

    Best parts of echo, fraction of the cost

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Unless your big reason for considering a smart speaker is to order new socks on Amazon without having to hop online (sorry, Mr. Baldwin), the Google home offers the best elements of the Amazon echo at a fraction of the cost. It is currently limited to cross-functionality with fewer smart home companies, but, as always, Google is promising to keep updating their product. And more often than not, they follow through (sorry Q buyers). To be honest though, the feature that makes this product and the Chromecast audio really worth it, is simultaneous audio streaming, now with voice control built into each and every Google home.
