Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can’t complain. I hate that I’m in the google ecosystem, but as a stand-alone product to review, it does what it’s supposed to, controls all my smart devices well, recognizes my voice, etc. I don’t really use it as a speaker for listening to anything so I can’t rate it there

I love this mini. it sits by my bed and wakes me up with a beautiful tone alarm. The sound is amazing. The music sounds wonderful. She gives me the weather every day and if I ask, for the week. In fact she answers all of my questions. This google mini was definitely a good purchase for me.

Bought the google home mini for my mother in law, she's been having some health issues and has been wanting a smart speaker in case she needs to make an emergency call in case of her health issue. it picks up her voice from anywhere and has multiple language options!

Easy to install and makes it easy to control multiple devices. It answerers countless questions by voice.

Easy set-up and good quality. Decent sound when playing music/audiobooks. The only negative is that if you have an Android phone, there are problems with which device acknowledges the voice commands. Example: sitting in my office with my phone and nest mini and say "Hey Google, send a text to dad" - instead of the phone doing the task, the mini takes over and says "Sorry I can't send texts yet". Very annoying. Almost wishing I went with Alexa just to avoid this.

My new Nest Mini (2nd Generation) with Google Assistant - Charcoal is an awesome addition to my home. It can be set to give daily reminders, appointments & alarms plus so much more. I would advise that everyone have this device in their home. Thanks Best Buy for having the lowest prices anywhere for this item.

Great little product! PROS:If you are part of the Google eco system, this is a great little device for playing music, radio, telling you the weather, telling you jokes to name but a few! Great for playing Spotify. Good speaker sound. CONS: Can't set alarms to play Spotify unless you go through some complex set up. OVERALL: Great for the price and we have 3 in the house!

I purchased this to place in my bathroom and I've never been happier. I use this to play news podcasts in the morning while I shower and get ready for work. This is easily mountable to the wall and I can control it with my voice no issue. If I ever move into a house I will buy another one for all my bathrooms.

This product has an easy setup and a stellar sound.

I bought this along with a hub. The broadcast feature is nice bc I can tell my kid dinner is ready without having to leave the kitchen. You can customize it to recognize your voice from others in the house. I tried to turn my son's lights off and ended up turning it off in my bedroom! You just have to be a little specific.

This was a very easy addition to get the google assistant near the back door. When the wife and daughter come in from the carport in the dark, they just ask the Google Assistant to turn on a lamp and they can turn it off with voice, app, or on a Nest display, any where in the house.

Nice sound small compact control are fast and easy

I love these smart speakers. I use them across my house to control my smart home pieces. They sound pretty good and work consistently for years.

The Nest Mini did what I hoped it would do. I have other Nest Hubs in other rooms of my home and purchased this one for the kitchen. As expected, it has good sound and allows for me to use the Google Assistant from any room. Very handy for setting timers and such as well.

This is my second Google Home. It is a great addition to the home. I can play music. Get reminders. Set dates. Make calls and all things an assistant does. I like this device. I am thinking about buying one for my mom. She is getting older and can use a mini assistant like the Google Home.

I received a Google Assistant free when I bought my wife a new phone. I had a lot of fun with the assistant, so on Black Friday I bought 2 of the 2nd generation ones, on sale. Now I have one in 3 different rooms. I use one to listen to on-line radio stations instead of using a radio. Ask the assistant to tell you a joke.

This was free with a TV that I bought, and I thought about re-gifting it because I don't like the idea of having a microphone always listening to me. But I hooked it up and sort of fell in love with it. It has really good sound and it also has a switch on the side to turn off the mic. So I guess it's a keeper after all!

We are enjoying our Google Nest Mini. Just say Hey Google and ask a question whether it is the current weather, time, music, etc. We have it in our downstairs and the Nest Mini will alert us when someone rings our Nest Hello doorbell upstairs.

Already had a Google home, which we love and use constantly. Got this device as a freebie when I purchased other equipment. It’s the second nest addition to the home. Now have Google Home in the living room, a nest in the bedroom, and a nest in the loft with my computers and server. All perform equally well!

Given its relatively low price, the sound is extremely impressive and loud enough for a big area of space. However the Google Assistant still needs to integrate better with other devices such as my phone. They sometimes responded together (like when I tried to adjust the volume of the nest mini, it adjusted my phone instead). The device also gets really hot but let's hope it is how it's supposed to be.. anyway overall still very worth the money.
