Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy setup. A Perfect fit. Seamless sound quality.

The nest mini is awesome. It's small and compact but dosen't mean it's not packed with features. The sound streaming music for its size is awesome. The speaker can hear me from the other room and has a great variety of music streaming services support [minus 2 key obvious competitors]. The mini hears me more reliablely than Amazon Echo Show. Echo often can't figure out want I'm asking where the Google Nest mini will come up with relevant info. Making phone calls from the mini is a breeze once you follow the 1 time setup in the Google Home app. People never question what I say on phone calls made through the Google Nest Mini... The same can not be said for for my bigger more expensive Echo Show... People always ask me to repeat stuff on calls made via the Echo.

I've used Google products for quite a few years now and thought this would be a great addition for the house. Setup was fairly easy. Looks nice, sounds nice. Really cool features. Downside, my wife and I have separate Google accounts so the Google mini doesn't really deferintaites which account to pull up even though we have our own settings. Tried restarting the process over and we had the same issues. Even with retrained voice recognition we had the same issue. For example, my wife couldn't find her phone and asked Google to find it. My phone started ringing even though I was 20 miles away, at work. Tried adding chromecast and our home security to be controlled through the Google nest mini and everytime it says it cannot find them. Even though they're added on our Google home app. Would recommend to a Google tech, not you're average user with multiple Google devices in a household.

I originally got a Google Home Mini for free about two years ago, and after moving into a home with two floors I decided to get another one. I went with the Nest after viewing the differences between the Nest and the Mini (they are minor), and I have been satisfied. It operates the same as and looks almost identical to the Mini, but its audio quality is slightly improved, and it has a hole on the back for wall mounting. It is also built with more sustainable materials (yay!). Setup was straightforward, and I have yet to encounter any issues with this device. If you are looking for a music speaker, this is not the best. I still use a separate speaker for music, and I bought this strictly for the assistant functionality.

Just received to use as a digital chime for my Nest Hello doorbell. Super easy setup, great sound, and perfectly integrates with our doorbell. Overall, great buy for a great value.

This is my second Nest Mini. I had been given one originally for a gift 5 years ago. I pretty much use it every day for one thing or another. Just yelling out "whats the temperature" or "what time does a certain store close". These little gadgets are so handy and I know I am NOT using it to its full potential. Just setting little timers when I dont have my phone with me or a alarm to make sure I really dont oversleep. They come in multiple neutral colors to blend in with your home decor. Cost was $25 , normally $50. Its a small, and pretty much fits anywhere. Adjustable volume etc. Everything is controlled from Google home and google assistant.

Device works well. Ok for music. Great for accessing google home commands and broadcasting throughout the house (with multiple units). I really like getting the weather and having it turn off my smart lights at night.

Having owned the 1st Gen Assistant, we decided to add another to our home. The nice thing about these is linking them together to have seamless music throughout the house. We have 3 minis and 2 Nest Hubs in our home to create a seamless experience throughout the house (2500 sq. ft.). One of my favorite features is the glass breakage detection from the microphones on these. We pay for the Nest subscription that allows for this and it gives us piece of mind while we are gone. I hope like heck that we don't have to find it was needed, however. The sound is rich and fills the rooms, and we would recommend these to anyone.

Very convenient and easy to setup for those on the Google platform. We choose a couple of these smaller Nest Mini speakers rather than the larger speakers as these are our primary audio/music speakers in the home. The are relatively cheap and super convenient for all of the Google Home/Assistant tasks that make life a little easier such as turning on lights, getting an announcement when someone is at the Nest Doorbell cam, asking for the weather or latest news, asking if the garage door is closed or not, etc. I'm still finding products and devices around the house that I can integrate with Google Home. If you want a loud speaker for high quality music this won't be the thing you want. It does a decent job and could be good for a small bedroom, but the primary benefits to this Mini are it's size, value (very cheap when on sale) and convenience. You put them almost anywhere and even mount them on a wall (there's screw/nail hole on the back of the unit for easy hanging).

I got this on sale at Christmas, and it sounds better than the first generation Home Mini that my daughters have. However, we cannot both play music from the same Google Play music account at the same time even with music that I own. They say that this is industry standard, but it still seems crazy to me since if I owned multiple CDs and two CD players, I could definitely listen in more than one room at the same time. Also, if you don't have a YouTube Music subscription, you can't request particular songs even if you own them. If I ask it to play "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner, it will reply with something along the lines of, "That song is only available for YouTube Music subscribers, but here is a playlist based on Foreigner." I can, however, use a phone and the cast feature to send a particular song to the Nest Mini, but then it becomes a little less useful than a Bluetooth speaker in the sound department since not all apps support this feature. In other areas, it excels, though. You can ask it for weather, news, or other any information that you would ask Google Assistant. Still, if I have to have my phone handy to cast music, I could just use the phone to ask questions...

I use it with the Google Nest, they sound great together. Nest Mini doesn’t have the bass like the Google Nest but together great sound. And useful throughout the house or office

The Nest Mini is fun to use and interact with. The sound is clear and loud enough when playing music. It is also easy to set up, just follow the instructions in the included manual.

Easy to setup and use. Loud for a small speaker and has good bass. Feels a bit heavier than the 1st generation. The soft touch plastic or rubber used for the bottom half of the speaker feels more premium than the previous Mini.

Great product at a great price. Simple and reliable to use. Sound quality very good from a small speaker. I purchased it as a gift. I already have 3 in my own home. I highly recommend this product.

I love out Google home network adding this was a plus and we needed the extra speaker. Just plug in and follow the prompts so easy.

I am enjoying my new Google Nest Mini more and more such that I have bought 2 more. The sound on this 2nd generation mini is much improved over the 1st generation version, and I have four of those. (Those 4 are retired, just like I am). I use my minis mostly for listening to music in my two bathrooms and in my dining room. I have one problem with them however. I have being using the new "Move Music" command as I move around my apartment. I can move music to my mins with no problem, but I can't move music from the minis. I don't know if I have a setting set wrong or if the mins have not been updated to execute this command. I think it is more likely a software problem. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. It is just a little frusrating. This coomand works just fine with my other Google devices. It is not the end of the world that the minis have this problem. I am working around it in the meantime.

Great sound, easy and fast setup. Speaker groups works way better than Alexa. No sound drop outs like I was getting with Echo and finally I can do Youtube Music to speaker groups!

I bought two of these Nest Mini Smart Speakers. I love their sound and the ease of use. We keep one in the kitchen and another in the living room. Our Hub is in the bedroom. Great product

This is the 4th mini we have in our house. We love being able to send messages to our kids using them and setting it to play music on 'whole house'. We also use them for timers, alarms, and turning Philips hue lights on/off.

Love this thing - we have them all over the house. Controls our thermostat, robotic vacuum, plays music, answers questions, trivia, and we broadcast to get the kids out of bed!
