    I received this product for free with appliance purchases. I don't think I would have purchased this otherwise... but I wish I would have earlier. It was so handy to have in the kitchen that I actually did go out and buy a 2nd one. Well worth it!

    I have Alexa and Google home. Google home is by far the ultimate personal assistant. It always recognizes my voice and answers 2 part questions which Alexa cannot.

    I purchased my Google Home after seeing it at my nephews house. It's very easy to set up and use, the sound is fantastic. I will be purchasing a 2nd one for my office.

    I got this because I didn't have an Amazon account so I figured I go a different route than the Echo. I don't regret it one bit. I've absolutely loved having the Google Home! I use it to play music, make a shopping list, find out about the weather. I ended up getting Phillips Hue lighting after this so I just tell Google to turn on my lights when I get home and it's done. The voice recognition works well and I bought a couple Chromecasts for my tvs and speakers and it all connects perfectly. I love this thing! So much that I got a second one so that I could have one downstairs AND upstairs.

    bought this for my mothers 90th birthday gift, she loves it as she did not have good radio reception in her apartment building. Easy for her to listen to her favorite stations , get the weather and play the music she likes. Perfect for her! She loves it.

    The voice recognition and mic pickup is amazing. Even with the tv blaring and across the room it can still hear me asking questions. It's a fun companion... speakers are not premium, but definitely do the job and music has some fidelity. But don't expect to hear depth like you would from say a home theater system. Also app integrations are great but lacking compared to the amazon echo.... I expect this to be improved and expanded. It definitely does the main things I wanted it to: - answer questions - play Spotify music - trigger smartthings devices - ittt integration (though I haven't done much with it yet)

    Google Assistant is fantastic, so I won't spend a lot of time there. You probably know what it does, and this device does all of those things. The speakers on this unit are fantastic and great for playing music. We have this in our living room, and it easily fills the room with sound. The touch controls on the top are a nice feature as well. I like that you can swap out the bottom piece for different colors. If you're getting into the smart home game, go with Google Home!

    I like the Google home but I feel it's still a little glitchy. Sometimes the music stops for no reason, still struggle to get he to do certain things for us. Overall it's a cool addition to our house, but it's mostly a glorified wifi speaker at this point.

    This device works flawlessly once setup. The bass is excellent, especially at low volume. Overall loudness is excellent as well. The Google Home - Smart Speaker is well-constructed. The only lower mark would be setup. It took a live chat session with Google support to get the device to pair with a Samsung Galaxy 10. Since the Galaxy operates on Android, also a Google service, it's odd that it would have been difficult to pair. Overall though, great product and value.

    Was curious about this type of smart home device. Had a google mini I received with another purchase so thought I’d try out this one to use as a Bluetooth speaker in our kitchen. Sound quality is good and it gets fairly loud. Biggest issue is that it seems to drop Bluetooth connections from our iPads frequently when trying to listen to audible Books. I Otherwise mostly use it to help set timers/alarms when cooking which has been pretty helpful as I’m quite forgetful. Overall happy with purchase.

    For a device so small, and compact, the Google home pack quite a punch with its audio output. Don't Expect it to substitute your HiFi system or anything, But for a smaller room, It is a great option unless you are one Audiophile, Its debateable looks (like a room freshener) and its rather neutral color scheme gives this device a very homely character and it blends into the surroundings, unlike some other Smart Speakers that stick out like a sore thumb. Very responsive, this device can pick up its activation phrase from any corner of the room, comfortably.
