    It just came out and it's just how you would expect it. It just lacks a lot of the features the Echo has at this moment. Give it 6 months and it'll surpass the Echo.

    Ran out to get the unit. However, compare with echo it does almost exactly what echo does but with less "parters". I am sure Google's unit have better AI or search engine, but echo simply does more at this point.

    Overall it's pretty cool but sometimes it doesn't pick up my voice when I'm only 5 feet away. I also wish they would start adding more things that are compatible. But overall it's fun to use and my kids love it.

    I bought this for my husband who is very much a technical kind of guy. He really does enjoy this gadget. I bout the mini with this and he is able to use it in other rooms. It pairs very well.

    I use it mostly for music streaming. Good audio quality. Grouping with other Google homes makes for a great whole home music streaming experience.

    It's really helpful around the kitchen. Not to mention plays my Google Music playlists. The only issue is I heard that it also throws out advertisements now. I haven't heard one, but that'd be pretty horrible.

    Google is a great addition to our household. It is a great way to have easy access and handsfree to ask questions and get answers, recipes, playing music, reminders and ordering.

    I had the Alexa before and it was great but I’d say go for the Google Home for a cheaper price and works just the same! I love it’s sleek design it goes in any household

    Pretty close to conversational, but definitely takes a little practice to be able to effectively communicate with it. Sure do love not have to click start on netflix though - definitely worth the purchase.

    I use it to control my lights, smart things hub, etc, which most of the time works well. It's early but I have faith in Google to make this much better then Alexa.

    Love it but needed more instructions on setting up the different features like; shopping lists, calendar, still trying to set up reminders. Once that happened it works great. The sales person was very helpful.
