    Using as professional gifts. Fun "grown up" toy that many would never purchased for themselves. Good feedback so far from recipients.

    Excellent product and simple to operate. We ended up getting several for other family members to start using and create a smart home.

    There's not much to say about google home, either you're a fan or you're not. The main purpose of it is really no purpose. Yes, it'll answer that random burning question you have about the number of toothpick it takes to reach the top of the Eiffel tower. Yes, it'll convert that 3.14 liter of water to teaspoons. And of course it'll translate "Hello" into Swahili when you need it. But, you'll need to be feets away constantly saying "Hey Google" or "ok Google". Compared to Alexa, when I ask both the same questions, I generally get slightly different answer. Some answers were better from Alexa, and others from Google home. The one thing Alexa does do better is smart home integration. I don't actually use it much besides the occasional "Tell me the news", as I use my Alexa for music. None the less, speaker on Google Home is good enough for most people. In conclusion, I find the device puzzling, as it's not advance enough to anything well (ie. ask for any recipe) but works well enough to tell you any direct fact you can google for you (but hands free). It's fun to toy around with for a bit, but nothing I would use continuously. I think this is a great first step into virtual home assistant, but don't expect too much at the moment.

    This device was very easy to setup and works great. Everyone in the family can use it without going through any setup procedures. Works great when playing music and answering questions. Any strange questions must be phrased differently to get the answer, but would recommend to anyone that needs information and doesn't always have the hands available to search on a computer.

    I can't wait to see where this goes but right now this is a handy little device with a big speaker. Not only will it control all my smart devices, the speaker has remarkable sound when playing music. I like being able to make calls on it, see how my commute to work is or just general knowledge questions. Should be interesting to see what the future holds...

    Had Alexa and purchased a Google home to compare. Google Assistant is smarter and understands me better than Alexa did. Nothing against Alexa products but the GA is better for me. Syncs perfectly with my Pixel 3XL and my smart bulbs. Loved it so much picked up one more and the Lenovo smart display 10 inch for the kitchen.

    I got this product for myself and gifted others. It's easy to use once you have it programmed. I love it for playing music. I don't use it for more than that. I wish I could use it to make calls. Every now and then it will just suddenly stop. Other times it has a hard time understanding my commands even though they're simple. For the most part, good simple product.
