Google home is really cool. I have it paired with my nest thermostat and my smart things which I have lights connected to. I can tell google home to turn on or off the lights, turn on or off a certain light, dim a light, or turn up or down the thermostat. Ask questions and get answers, start a shopping list and add items and a lot of other things I'm still learning

We have this in our kitchen and use it quite often to play music, query the weather, set timers, control smart hub devices. It's great!

Got this for a great price on Black Friday. Easy set up and the speakers were awesome but...it would not play iTunes-it will only play google music. I transferred my iTunes to google play and still could not play them. spoke with a Google rep who confirmed that it was not possible. I sadly returned it.

Better sound than Alexa..but both are good. It was easy to set up and I like the broadcast feature. I wish it would work with Direct TV

This is a fantastic little smart device like Alexa for Amazons echo, but it's not a Bluetooth speaker… And if that's what you get it for you'll be frustrated. It requires an app to be installed on your phone called Google Home in order for to work so I won't connect straight away with your Bluetooth settings. It doesn't really play music to your phone, it plays music through the Internet if to say after your phone or your laptop though, Annick connect to Music and streaming services like Spotify premium Pandora or Google music. it comes with a six months of Google music subscription included, which is great actually and the reason why I actually initially kept the products… Which includes YouTube red, which has no ads and is background playing YouTube, so if you switch off the app it doesn't stop playing.
This smart assistant is activated by saying OK Google, which if you have an android with the OK Google enabled it can get a little bit confusing as they start fighting. It's cool though because you don't really have to remember any special commands, it kind of understands what you want… The only thing it had a problem with was turning down the volume, so I have no problem turning up the volume and maximizing it which is really weird .
Only had it for about a week so I haven't really gotten to play with the other features but it's definitely cool.

it is a cool little gadget. Mostly used it to play music. The only issue is, sometimes it doesn't hear me/the command when the music is playing

I love my Google home! It's so much more useful than Alexa. Alexa has been pushed aside and Google home and home mini have taken over.

I love that it syncs seamless with my google accounts and I can get all my updates while doing other tasks. My wife loves that the home knows everyone voice and plays their playlists. The kids love to ask questions and check the weather. Sits on the kitchen counter taking up less space than most appliances and hooks to our Bluetooth speakers and our Nest.

While it doesn't compare to a Sonos but still good. It is fun to use it to play with the kids. Son loves that it makes all the animal noises.

I really enjoy having hands free operation to control my home automation, access to information and to schedule tasks and calendar appoinments. With IFTTT and Tasker apps integrated with Home you can do some pretty sophisticated things. Voice recognition even from a distance in a noisy environment is good and the speaker produces a deep sound. Recommended!

Not the best looking device
Wish it would include one extra color base. They are too costly to just change color
