    Love having the mini around - it's the easiest way to get the answers you need NOW! Also, I've hooked up a couple of smart lights, and soon my new Nest Thermostat. The jokes could be better, tho.

    The Google Home Mini is the most affordable Google Assistant-enabled speaker available and thankfully, its voice recognition doesn't suffer from the reduction in size and price

    Once I finally got it set up, it was great. But I did have to get a separate app (different from the Home app) to set it up on the wifi for the first time. Odd and clunky fix by Google, but got it working.

      Hi nvdub, thanks for sending in your review of your Nest Mini. We're sorry to learn that you had some difficulties in setting up the device. We'd like to know more details about how you were able to setup the device without using the Home app since you'll need the Home app to complete setup.

    This is my 3rd Mini and it is helpful around the house in providing information at a command, operating some of my smart devices, and playing my music in each room as needed. My wife was reluctant when we got the first one but has since used it for receipes and a simple timer for both cooking and other tasks.

    So Many Uses

    We have these throughout the house. We use them to control the lights, thermostat, music, everything. We have them assigned different names so if we want one to talk to another in the house, we just specify which one and it broadcasts our message. Works great. We don't have to yell upstairs to tell the kids something.

    The Google Nest Mini is easy to set up, has very good sound. I have two that are integrated with smart light bulbs using Google Home app. Using the mini, I control lights with voice commands.

    Great value to stream music around your home. I purchased three and connected them all for a home speaker system. Excellent value and they look great.

    This a great addition to our smart home. We have 2 hubs already and this one is nice to have in our living room to listen to music or control lights from the other side of the house.

    This nest mini is an awesome helper! Its small enough to use as decoration and it doesn't clutter up any space. Answers every question and comes in handy a lot of the time.

    Perfect sound for a small room. Gets loud enough. Lacking base and sound at highest volume is not great but that is expected at this price point. Google Assistant is the best AI.

    The nest mini is ready good. The sound is much improved over the 1st gen Google Home mini. Also including the wallmount is great too as you don't have to buy something extra.

    I own one of these for myself and I was looking for one for my girlfriend. She's very busy with lots of things to schedule and has her hands tied doing things when she's home. I got her this particular one and she loves it! It's made her life so much easier and convenient to get things setup and scheduled, handsfree and worry free. It also helps her with my smart home, so she's not always looking for switches or remotes. Worth the money.

    Love the whole system. Have several mini's all around the house but bought this to hide inside my entertainment cabinet. Charcoal color blends in and doesn't show on the open shelving.

    We own many Nest Mini smart speakers and have one in just about every room of our home, including our garage. We utilize them to integrate with lights, door locks, tv’s, etc. There are only rare times when we have issues with them and typically we just reboot them from the Google Home app and we are good to go. They certainly make some things convenient like when you would like to play music or ask Google a question. The 2nd Generation come with a pre-drilled hole on the underside to hang on the wall if you so choose. These were a good value, especially if you pick them up on sale.
