I’ve added the smaller version as well as the video upgrade of this item to other rooms in my home. It conveniently cuts all my lights on as I ask it to, when walking in the front door at night. It gives me a wake up call in the a.m., and even plays the sound of crickets chirping at night for a background sound in the bedroom when falling asleep. The myriad number of things that you pick up your phone or tablet to inquire about are readily accessible by just asking....

I’ve been using the google Home and mini for a coupple of weeks now and it’s been great with sheduling alarms to checking the weather. I really like it cause you can control the Hue lights with just a voice command.

At this point I only find this good as a voice command speaker. I'd like to set reminders on a calendar but it currently doesn't support that operation, or so it tells me. It does have great sound for such a small device and I do use it to setup shopping lists that show up on my Google Home app when I'm at the store so that's convenient. It does weather updates, plays videos on our Chromecast TV and such, but unless you have a more connected home than I do it really is just a cool toy and I'd recommend it as such.

Google starts off strong with this assistant, but there is room for improvement, which will hopefully come with updates in the future. We used this to replace a table top radio in the kitchen. It plays Spotify and other audio sources and is able to pull a lot of information from Google search results and services. Hard to link to other devices, this is where Amazon Echo excels. I personally like this device in a kitchen, where as I like Amazon Echo / Dot in a living room / office to control other non-Google devices.

The sound quality that comes out of Google home is Simply Amazing Great bass sound. And the fact that you could control your Chromecast along with requesting any songs that you want on your media streaming services now you can even make phone calls for free from your Google home and also use it as a Bluetooth device it's ultimately amazing way better then Amazon Alexa besides the fact that I provide you with the correct information you want when you want because you're Googling it.

I received my Google Home free when I purchased my Samsung Washer and Dryer. I never thought I needed one. Now I can't live without it! It is so cool to just say, "Hey, Alexa, help me with..." And she does!

As a first time purchase of a home "assistant", this has been a great addition to my home. Because our home is more geared towards Android, we elected to purchase the Google Home Assistant. After researching the product online we were convinced that this would fit our needs and so far it has exceeded expectations. The setup was quick and easy and use of the Assistant has been seamless to this point. I would definatly recommend the Google Assistant to anyone looking to purchase a home assistant.

I have this and I also have the Amazon Echo, and I can say that the Echo has had a very large head start in the home automation game. I do believe that Google will start adding many different features to their hub at a very fast rate, and I am hoping that it soon catches up because my home would be much better if ran by the Google version vs the Echo, cause the Echo is hindered by Amazon's policies on not allowing 3rd party services like Google music, for instance. Overall, a great buy IMO...

Music comes through great. Like news reports and weather. Our grandson loves asking it questions. Can even get a recipe. Easy set up

It doesn't have as many apps as the Echo but it's still fun to use. I mainly use it to listen to music. Music randomly cuts off every once in awhile. I don't know why. A huge plus is free Youtube Red for 6 months, the ads are getting ridiculously long. I have the Google Home in the middle of my apartment and it was able to pick up "Okay Google" from my bedroom, which is pretty impressive. Overall, it's fun to have and the price is decent. I'd recommend buying it, especially when more apps/functions are available.

I own two of these. One in my den downstairs and one upstairs in my great room. Google home has come a long way, but still has quite a way to go. Sometimes they don't recognize who I am, so they wont tell me whats on my calendar, I can't get the travel time to work or the voice calls to work, and bluetooth pairing still needs some help. Otherwise they work great, I've paired my system with smartthings, nest, and zwave utilities and we can control all of my lights and AC with voice commands.

Sound quality is good, good smart home addition, looking forward to additional features and more connections with other devices

This is a great Alexa alternative however, I still prefer Alex for controlling smart devices. The Google Home is better at everyday questions, recipes etc... Not as much integration with smart home devices as Alexa.

Easy to use, answers mores questions then my echo ever did and sounds much much better which entire house was this smart

This is the smart speaker for you if you are already subscribing to google play music service. Only disappointment is that it currently doesn’t link office 365 so I can’t get my work schedule played back.

I replaced my Amazon Eco (aka Alexa) with this Google Home only for one reason... It fits with what I do with Google. I have a Google calendar, Google Keep and other G apps that can be used with G Home. Now G Home can do all of the stuff that the Eco can do but I am hoping G Home will catch up in its technology. The speaker seems to be just as good as Amazon and the mic can hear and understand me from a good distance away. G Home even responds to the TV when a commercial says "Hey Google".

I bought this for my future son-in-law's birthday present. I like the aesthetic of it's design. He was very happy with it and is already planning to get other compatible items to make his house "smart."

I purchased this as a gift for my husband and I for Christmas and we've been trying to figure out everything we can do you with the Google Home and what accessories we can get. I was a little sad to find out that we could not use the YouTube song list without a subscription to YouTube Red. It has been great for around the house and it's able to hear our voices from a distance away which is nice when you're in another room and want to ask Google something. Looking forward to learning more about our Google Home.
