    The Google Home is easy to set up, and it has some great though limited functionality. It integrates well into most Google products. I imagine that it will improve in the future.

    This device has been great so far. Our favorite feature has been the connectivity to an audio service and being to start music in the kitchen with a simple voice command.

    Right now the main fictions of this speaker are the hue lights, nest and asking trivia questions. But the sky is the limit for Google home once all the possibilities are applied.

    I am a very frequent Google user, and this product definitely delivers correct information. I went into Best Buy looking to buy the Alexa product, and ended up walking out with Google home that same night. The guy working that night went through both products thoroughly, and even helped me determine which product would be better for my everyday uses. I use Google home to do any quick searches, to play music from my main television, to even telling it to bring up a certain show on Netflix (these are just a few of the things that I use it for). Definitely a good buy if you have a few extra bucks laying around!

    We've really enjoyed our Google Home. It's been nice having music, answers to questions, the weather forecast and other topics all at the sound of our voice. We use it everyday.

    Love asking Google questions. Still blows my mind how it answers so quickly. Some questions it can't help with though but it's still a lot of fun. Love the music option.

    I bought the Google Home during Thanksgiving and I am glad I did. We enjoy streaming music without having to touch any keys. Google voice recognition is simply awesome..

    Great Smart Speaker for Smart Home enthusiasts

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

    I love this thing because we use it regularly to control all of our smart home devices. Everything seems to have a simple path to setup with Google Assistant control. Like it much better than Alexa on the Echos because its way better at doing things outside of the Smart Home control. However rare that might be for me. If the speaker quality doesn't matter much, get the mini. If it does matter, get a chromecast audio and hook up some real speakers. That is the only reason I won't give the google home a full 5 stars, because the speaker element--while better sounding than my echo, still isn't that great.

    It's alright, but lacking many features

    It's a great wireless speaker and timer but it lacks crucial functionality. It can't sling media to other devices; can't open or use any apps (including youtube for some reason); and has difficulty playing back music from my Google account. All of these are software issues so they can be fixed of Google wants to fix them. It's alright but don't expect any miracles.

    Pretty cool little smart device that can play music, offer up news, answer questions, etc. If you use Google apps a lot, you'll probably find this device more useful than Alexa.

    Really enjoying it as a casting device, for minor queries, and for playing music. It really shines at the latter. Can't wait to see what this will do with some more development.
