    This was included in the purchase of my appliances and I haven't had much time to set it up yet, but I have heard from a few co-workers that it is very nice to have around and can do quite a lot from answering simple questions to giving you a traffic update. I can't wait to play with it.

    I bought this as a Xmas gift for my dad. After we set it up and used it I was amazed! It played requested music, gave sports updates, searched the web to answer our questions. The Google Home even told my son a bedtime story! After that I was sold on a personal one for my home. Great product!

    I bought the Google Home as a Christmas gift. Individual I gave it to loves it. She is not a "Teche" but said it was simple to set up. I do not know enough about the unit since I already have the Echo. It seems a lot like the Echo but have not had the opportunity to spend enough time with the Google model.

    Our granddaughter fell in love with the features of the Google Home we have in our kitchen, so we purchased a second device for her. She can use it here at our house when she visits and, of course, at her home. The whole family is having fun using the device in their "own special ways."

    I purchased my first Google Home as a raffle item for a local computer group. It was so much fun that I had to purchase one for myself. My husband who is the least computer/technology person is having a ball with it. He asks it so many questions that I think Google might be getting tired :)

    Works well with Phillips Hue lights and Chromecast but has occasional glitches. Seems like Amazon Echo has better voice recognition but on the other hand, Google Home can do multiroom audio sync and voice activated smartlight color change while Alexa cannot. Overall a very good home automation product

    Great addition to my home. I bought two and will probably add a third. 90% pleased with performance as there are few things it can't do easily like update Google Calendar. It can read it. Bought Echo Dot as it can add to my calendar easily. Development time will work out the bugs then it will get 5 Stars.

    I love my Google , it serves as a computer when you wanna know something like recipe, scores, weather anything really, and as a radio system for your room , or house. Use it all the time!! My 81 year old dad came over and thought it was the best thing ever, went home and bought one too!!

    The Google Home is really good at it does which, in our situation, is primarily for playing music and creating a whole home audio experience. It has loads of potential for voice activated technology, especially home automation as developers continue to work with it. Really nice audio output and easy setup!

    Google home is working great, but there are a number of areas that respond by saying, "Sorry, I am not sure how to help with that." I am using Google home with Samsung's Smart things and they really compliment each other. I just heard about an update for Google coming soon that I am looking forward to.

    I was undecided which one to buy, the amazon echo or the google home. After speaking to the salesperson at Best Buy, I bought the google home because of the knowledge of the salesperson. He said he owns one and that it has more features and better quality than the echo. I'm very happy.

    Love the voice interaction, the ability to sync these in multiple rooms, the ability to cast shows on my Chromecast with just my voice, controlling my thermostat, getting questions answered. I haven't had any of the competing products but i'm extremely happy with this one. Highly recommended!

    My wife used the Google Home when she was in RN school, and it helped her immensely during her studies. We wish they wouldn't have changed the "grocery list" feature which used to work with Keep. I also hope they get on the ball and let you have more than one Google account connected to Home...

    Needs more integration

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

    The Google Home is a fun device but since she is so new to the market, she lacks many of the features amazon has. She will get smarter and probably quickly. Google Home should also integrate Beyer with Google calendar and texting. I would have thought that would have been one of the first features.

    Totally diggin' the Google Home Smart Speaker. Gets smarter the more you use it. I set it up in conversation mode and like teasing it with challenging thought processes. My wife says I'm nuts. Maybe I am, but this is a fun way to tap into the brilliance of AI.
