    It was quick to setup and easy to use. I listen to music all the time and ask random questions to get exact answers. Good investment.

    I already had an Alexa for and it was fine, but the speaker was really average. I heard a Google home at my friend's place anr the speaker sounds really good. I am very impressed with the speaker as well as 3 months of free Google play music. I don't yet have a Google Chromecast as I have a small apartment, but the features are impressive. The only downfall I have personally experienced is the microphone response has not been as good as I was expecting and had experienced from Alexa. Maybe it is the different placement in my apartment, not sure.

    The google home speaker is a vast improvement over the "mini" model both in sound and ability to hear and understand my voice. If you can still find one (I read they may have been discontinued) at a good price, I highly recommend picking one up. In many ways, these are much more useful than "alexa" speakers - I have both. they give better answers, and do a better job of distinguishing voices for multiple accounts in the same household.

    A personal assistant to talk to

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My wife bought this because she needed someone to talk to. She finds it extremely helpful to add groceries which are running out into her shopping list. It has good speakers on it. So, she also finds it useful to listen to her favourite songs and set timers while cooking just by our voice. It can sometimes get annoying though - says it can't understand and that it's still learning. Even simple things like changing the time/time-zone can become tedious. I guess AI and machine learning are still in their early stages and need to improve considerably.

    Better than the Echo

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We already own an Echo and Echo Dot, both of which we loved. That said, we love Google Home even more. The responses are more accurate and on point from Google Home. It accepts requests in a more natural speech format than the Echo making it feel like a more normal conversation. The microphones also seem to hear us much better despite there only being 2 microphones on the Google Home. It still has room to grow with some actions/abilities that are available to Echo being unavailable to Google Home, but I suspect this will be the platform to beat moving forward.

    The sound is great and very cool device to have. The only minus that I'm hoping will get updates is that you can't use this as a Bluetooth speaker.

    So far it works great and hopefully it will work even better when we get to know each other more. There are lot to learn what it can do. As it is a AI product i hope it never stop learning to get better that the reason for 4 stars.

    Bought Google Home when on sale for a Christmas gift. Fun to ask questions and getting immediate response instead of searching on the web. Bought basically to play music, which has excellent quality sound, and to ask things like weather and what sports are playing. Ask Google Home to tell you a joke, pretty lame. I understand that you can operate Netflix with Google Home, however, I have not tried yet. I gave four stars because Google Home isn’t compatible with as many things as Alexa, but hear that Google Home is working on it.

    My 94 year old mother in law loves this product. She has recently been restricted with vision problems and I purchased this for the family for Christmas. She was dependent on family members for many basic things that now she can find out or do on her own. Google Home lets her know what time it is, sets alarms, gives her the outside temperature, answers general trivia type questions for her, and allows her to listen to many songs and artist that she remembers growing up. It has given her a renewed freedom. She must say Hey google at least 20 times a day!

    I wish it had the future to make a to do list. It's easy to use and is small enough to set on any table. It can reconise voice from a ways away.
