    I thought it was going to be a comprehensive Google integration however it left me feeling less than. It lacks a lot of features that a full size Google Nest Mini or Google Hub can offer. The microphones on these are not as sensitive as the Nest ones. The sound is worst than the Google Nest Mini. Overall I would skip this product. It a glorified alarm clock.
