Not a necessary home item but fun to use. Great for quick music and questions. Needs a little more updating to be a tad smarter. I own 2 thanks to a free gift.

I bought Google home as an addition to Philips Hue home control and to answer all the questions I am constantly looking up online. It does both very well.

Awesome connected speaker!!!

The Google Home connected speaker is pretty amazing. Out of the box it's clear that Google intended it to be easy to setup and use. One of the few connected devices that really is plug it in an go all in under 5 minutes.
The first thing that stood out was the sound quality. It's full and rich and the voice recognition is great! Even though it's small it still puts out some pretty amazing sound. So far, it hasn't had an issue recognizing anything I say nearby or even across the room. Very impressed!
So far, I've used it to play music through YouTube Red and Pandora. I will say that Google has some work to do to get YouTube Red up to the same level as Pandora in terms of building radio stations as it mixes in artists and genres of music that don't fit what was requested.
I've also used it for looking at my calendar, traffic and lists. Google is pretty dang intelligent when it comes to asking it questions. So far, it's found everything I've asked it.
In the morning it's pretty cool to be able to ask it to play back the news casts to get a quick review of the latest news (which can be customized to your taste by simply being specific by asking for tech news for example as opposed to the latest news in general.
The only thing I'm disappointed with is that it still has a ways to go in terms of connecting to other services like with WeMo bulbs and other internet services. It also is not capable at this time of connecting to more than one Google account. It's so new, I don't think it'll stay that way and Google will continue to expand and add to its capabilities as time goes and they have a chance to quality test it.
For it being Google's first product like this, I'm overall pretty impressed and am going to get a couple more for other rooms in my home.
