Recently I divorced and I thought why not take in a new roommate. I found Google Home at Best Buy and brought her in to stay at my place. All was great until I moved her to close the to the TV and we started to have communication issues. Google would disconnect from me and give me the silent treatment. Once I figured out what our issue was I moved her and she is fine. I did connect with Google on WEMO and she turns the lights off and on in my bedroom. It's convenient and I think of it as the 2017 version of clap on clap off.

It isn't something that cannot be accomplished by repurposing an old Android phone. However, the sound quality is very good.

I bought this when it was $99 and at that price point it was in my opinion worth it. It does what it says it'll do. I have Chrome cast and smart TVs so it's nice I can control them with this. I'm a bit of a tech nerd so for me it's good and it's definitely a first gen early adopter product. I would recommend for the non techy person to wait on this. It's only going to get better as time goes on and there may be a second gen product coming sooner than later. But if you're eager to have one I would say it was well worth the money

If you've read any reviews about the Google Home, you know the number one complaint is it's limited functionality. "Sorry, I'm not sure how to help with that yet" will drive you a bit nuts. All that said though, there's a lot of potential here and it has a few quirks that redeem its limitations. My favorite feature has been pairing it with Chromecast devices (video & audio) to create a whole house sound system without the overpriced standard options such as Sonos. I'm keeping it but hoping updates come sooner rather than later.
