    Not only can this speaker play music, it can play a trivia game with you too! Google can even tell you how long your commute to work is! Definitely a great purchase!

    I actually like this device. I don't tap into its potential as often as i should, but I do command it to play music almost everyday. Wonderful device.

    Google Home is Fun!

    I am really enjoying the Google Home and feel it is a delightful and useful addition to my home. When the Google Home arrived I was quite impressed with its packaging. Very well thought out. It is simply beautiful and very well done. It is smaller than I thought it would be, which is a good thing and not at all obtrusive. Setup was simple - plug it in, download the Google Home app and I was ready to go. What I got right away is that using Google Home is really fun! You can ask/request anything you can and do ask of Google on other devices. What is the weather forecast? What is the distance to the moon? How do you make a pot-roast? What is the traffic like to LAX? I use Google to set a timer when I do my laundry; I ask her to add things to my shopping list as I think of them and when I'm ready, I ask her what is on my list. She stores the info so I don't have to remember. I used the app to link to my Pandora account in the app then I asked Google to play Pandora. It is amazing. She can clearly hear me from across the room and even while she is playing music. She lowers the music volume to hear me and keeps it low while she responds them immediately raises it back up. Awesome! This doesn't have the sound of a Bose Bluetooth speaker and I wouldn't expect that. But the sound is surprisingly good. Speaking of Bluetooth, this is WiFi only, no Bluetooth, so there is no way, at least not that I could figure out, to play the songs on my iPhone via Google Home. And that's OK, I have other devices that can do that for me. But maybe in time...? Also, I do not have any other devices that I can connect to Google Home. I don't have Chromecast at all. It is a stand alone unit for me. This is my answer box. My go-to. My memory assistant. My friend. My music box. My recipe holder. If I choose, she will play games and be my playmate. There is just so much she can do and I love it. Yes, there are many things Google is "learning" and I do feel that over time she will become even more intelligent. Would I recommended this? Absolutely.

    This is a good piece of gadget to have if you love music and wants to free yourself from pushing the button. Just speak to it and you'll get what you want.

    The future is here

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

    Okay, yes and no. The future is here in that I have a device at home that can connect to other devices AND give me (almost) every information at the tip of my fingers. But the AI and voice analysis is still spotty and have lots of improvements to make. I'm excited to control my chromecast and play songs and ask random questions and add stuff to my shopping list with just my voice but I'm even more excited for the day that conversation feels more fluid (and not have to repeat myself multiple times sometimes) and for this device to control my own home. But, until that time, the future is here now.

    We are enjoying this in our home but wish that it was Bluetooth enabled. We knew this when we bought it and don't regret the purchase, just thing Google should work on that.

    Did not expect a speaker so small could have such power! Really surprised! And add Google assistant to the mix, and there is no mistake in purchasing this.
