    I bought this as a gift and the recipients have greatly enjoyed the product. Being able to request songs via Ok Google is most used feature. Sound quality is very good for size of speaker.

    Instantly reference song lists or radio stations and play them with just a vocal request, along with all the resouce info of Google by just saying "Hey Google." Very pleased...outstanding device!

    Bough the this on sale at Best Buy. I love the idea of anew assistant and I like Google's approach to keeping things open. I am not a fan of closed systems like the Amazon Echo. Overall this product shows a lot of promise but seems like it is not yet finished. A lot of questions are answered with "sorry I can't help with that yet." It is good with playing music in the kitchen, the speakers are fairly loud and balanced for their size. Also, very helpful with setting alarms and reminders. I would like to be able to place calls and texts with it though which it is not able to do yet.

    It can't set reminders for Google now. That's really my only con. It interfaces perfectly with a chromecast, and usually knows what I want to play on the TV. Playing music videos on the TV I still get ads, despite the YouTube red subscription that comes with home. But that might be a problem with Red and not the home. I got two one for the living room and one for the kitchen, for music everywhere. The voice recognition is so good, the living room home can hear me in the kitchen, about 30 yards away and around the corner, with music playing. I'd definitely recommend anyou google fan try it out. It's worth it. And I do believe it works with iOS, for all you Apple fans as well.

    I have three of these in my home now. I use the multi-room music and message broadcasting the most. Excellent for setting timers hands-free while cooking. It has fun games to play with the family like madlibs, tells jokes (some are pretty bad), and is great to answer random trivia questions.

    This is a great speaker, Quality is as good as Bose and it understands your commands. It is better than Alexa. It can play various programs just by saying it to the speaker on a chrome cast TV.

    We've had this for a month and I wanted to REALLY like it... but it's fallen a little short of what I had hoped. It does play music pretty well, but at times it just stops while playing and I ask it to play something and it says "ok, here's a little something from ______" and then nothing. We do like asking it questions, like how many tablespoons in a cup... things like that. My wife asks it how many calories in everything...lol that's a buzzkill. We were watching some TV last night and on Last Man Standing the main character asks about googling something and the unit woke up and made a noise, waiting for a command that never came. Hopefully it will continue to get better but as of now it is good enough.

    If you are into technology and have a robust internet connection you will enjoy all Google home has to offer. It is essential if you want to have a "smart" house. Google home is always ready when you have a question. It may not always provide the answers you want but at least it is honest.

    Incredibly simple, but equally as useful digital assistant. Just the speaker quality alone justifies the price, but it can do so much more than just play music. 100% worth the price/purchase.

    Because I have a Google Play Subscription, this suits me much better than an Amazon Echo. But besides that, the sound is great for such a small speaker. Google Assistant is very useful.

    I have several of these and plan to buy a Google Home Max when released. It works well with my Nest and Hue smart home systems. The search function is a bit finicky. You cannot be overly vague or complex in your search, otherwise it won't know how to answer. But once you get the hang of it, it's fine.
