    I watched so many youtube reviews, and I have now tested the google and alexa home assistants. saying hey google everytime is boring and feels like they are trying to force brand marketing on its users. you can not change it, unlike alexa which is a nice name thats easier and faster to say, and you can change alexa wakeup command too. my biggest issue with the google nest mini is when you try to turn lights to a certain color and it gets it wrong, then it starts talking really fast listing off the search results it found. the only way to shut it up is to tap on it, you can not stop it by voice. alexa lets you shut her up with just your voice. i get the feeling google will be smarter overall, and thats also what the reviews generally say. I also like that the google nest is touch sensitive, which the amazon echo is not. finally, I haven't tested the echo long enough but it feels much heavier, and comes with a significantly more powerful power plug. this indicates a more powerful speaker in the amazon echo. google nest is also uglier than the echo dot in my opinion, though im not in love with amazon echo design either. both of these are 25 at the time. i bought a google tv at the same time and it is buggy and slow, will be returning that as well. personally I prefer my old roku, its simple and works without crashing

    A Mighty Little Speaker for Google Home

    The Nest Mini (there were two--one chalk and one charcoal that I purchased and that are reflected in this review) is a very powerful and responsive speaker in the Google Home system. I had two already and needed to just expand the Google presence in my home--especially for music. Personally, I find their audio quality quite amazing for their size, Speaking of size, that is the other feature that prompted my most recent purchase. They are easy to hide in a room environment, and they are nicely portable. One of the two I have designated as "Portable" and move it to where I am working on projects where, fortunately, my WiFi reaches. Once unplugged and then plugged back in, it takes about a minute to find itself and ready to work.
