This was easy to set up and connect to my music streaming services, which I use it mostly for. Google easily recognizes my voice and made it simple to do everyday things.

We purchased three of these as part of a home internet upgrade. As part of our Google Nest WiFi we’ve achieved whole home sound system that sounds great. Easy to set up and use. Would recommend to anyone.

Awesome little speaker that works so well with my home automation. It can play music with great sound and also change my lights, lock my door and work as an alarm clock and calendar. For the price point it’s a great buy!

This speaker may be small but it puts out a BIG sound. I have Google Smart Speakers in every room in my house so I can enjoy my music through the house, especially during my quite "Me Time", they sound great when you group them together. I have the mini's in my bathrooms and the larger ones in the bedroom, living room and Den and the Large Smart Displays in the Kitchen/Dining room and the small display in my bedroom all speakers grouped together in the Google Home App to play music throughout the house.

Works great for voice control of smart lights and thermostats. No more stumbling around in the dark or getting up to turn off the forgotten light. Has good sound when playing music and google assistant works well. I grouped with our google hub to provide room to room music. Thinking about a couple more for home wide music.

I have this hooked up in the bathroom and is great for listening to music or podcasts while getting ready for work or bed. Doesn't take up that much space as it's pretty small. Clear sounding speaker.

Bought for the offices at work for everyone and they were a hit! The setup was super easy (even for those who had to create a google account) and the sound quality is great considering the price!

I already had one, so I wanted another to pair to get stereo audio in my bedroom since setting up a true set of speakers or soundbar wasn't really an option.
These work great for my purposes, but I do wish Google would do something to enable me to match the lag between audio and video on youtube so these wouldn't be up to 2 seconds behind videos. I've also noticed when I try to stream youtube content to the stereo pair that the pairing can fail without warning. Switching to Pandora, I never see that issue. Why would Pandora be seamless and a Google owned App break their own product? Beyond me.

Brand response from Nest Support

Hi BuiltTough, we appreciate your insights. We're sorry to hear about the audio lag when stereo pairing Nest Mini.
It was a great idea to try another streaming app to isolate the issue. If you haven't tried yet, we recommend unlinking and relinking your preferred music streaming app with your Google Nest account. You can follow our help article on how to link your music services and set your default service here: - Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your speaker or display. - Open the Google Home app. - At the top right, tap your account. - Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to Nest Mini. To switch accounts, tap another account or Add another account. - Go back to the home screen, and at the top left, tap Add Music. - To choose your default service, tap the music service you'd like to use. Assistant will use this service when you say “Hey Google, play music.” - To link functionality for your preferred streaming app, you'll need to link your accounts. To connect your account, tap a music service > Link account > sign in or sign up for the service and follow the in-app steps. - To unlink an account, tap Unlink > Unlink account.

Pretty nifty. Got this because Alexa uses Wikipedia for information and Google is better at answering at questions. Seems to function smoother and faster. I got it during black Friday it was definitely worth the price. It listens better and has not randomly come on like I was talking to it.

I just bought my fourth one -- and not because they break or become defective! I love having them around the house -- bedroom, living room, and bathroom (with a hub max in the kitchen for the photo frame). After seeing how I set it up to automatically play NPR in the morning, mom wanted one in her bedroom too. The app works well with it, and the google assistant on my android devices adds convenience to that.
Speaker sounds good enough, but I almost always use some other kind of speaker, except when I had music playing in the mornings instead of radio.
You can set it to always use another speaker via bluetooth, but at that point I just use my phone. :)

I have several 1st gen minis and was already impressed with them. I got the 2nd gen for free as a package deal with I ordered my Google Nest Learning Thermostat. I have to say that the sound from the 2nd gen minis sounds much better than the 1st gen. Mind you, it will not sound like you have a home theater in a puck but the overall sound, when compared to the 1st gen mini, is an improvement.
I have this set up in my home office which is on the 2nd floor. Our household is heavily invested in the Google Home ecosystem. So, being able to use this to control devices throughout the house, play music, set alarms, make calls, and also have it work something like an intercom is super convenient!

We have the Nest Mesh system for wifi and have added 3 of these Minis and 2 additional access points for better coverage across the house and add more music spots. Super easy to setup and start using!

This was easy to set up and configure. It responds quickly and sound is very clear. I used it to play music, and access weather and my calendar. It is nice to have around to access many things on the internet.

I received this free with the purchase of a TV and didn't think much of it at first, but its extremely easy to use with voice or by casting music from your phone and gets pretty loud for how small the speaker is.

I love having access to my Google Assistant from the Nest Mini because even though the sound is clear and loud, the speaker is small and able to be hung on the wall.

Really enjoy the nest mini. Probably does a lot more than I use it for but I am totally satisfied. Just the ability to listen to music of all types and have it turn off when you want is just very classy.

My whole family absolutely swears by these. They are compact and incredibly intelligent. The sound is impressive for how small they are and you literally can't beat the price.
