    This is my second one. I put in my garage when working on my car. It picks up wifi 70 ft away in my detached garage. I like to play music from it. The sound is nice for the size of it.

    My favorite thing about google products is the physical switch that lets you turn off the microphone.

    It's a great little product when it works. I've had 3 in recent years that all start great but after a while just randomly stop connecting and I cannot set them up or reset them.

      Hi Evarg017, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having connectivity issues with Nest Mini.

      Try to reset Nest Mini by switching the mic off located on the side of your device. The lights will turn orange. Press and hold the center of the Nest Mini, where the lights are on top. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.

      If you still cannot reset the Nest Mini, we may need to take a closer look at the issue. Please reach out to our support team, we’d be more than happy to help and improve your experience. You can reach out to us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Works great for boosting a weak wifi signal. Depending on the size of your house you may need more or less. For my needs I am able to stream movies without loss of speed or quality.

    Love these google home devices for the most part SO convenient when paired w chrome cast to be able to tell it to play stuff on my tv hands free, but Bluetooth connection is sketchy sometimes drops randomly / won’t connect to my record player whatsoever which is a disappointment

    I switch from Amazon Alexa to Google and I am glad I did. Alexa seem to answer even when the code word was not used. Google seems to understand us better.

    I can’t set my Spotify playlist as my alarm but I can choose my favorite band. It sometimes doesn’t recognize my playlist names on Spotify but other than that it’s a pretty neat thing to have. I wouldn’t say I “NEED” this but I don’t mind having it.

      Hey RealDeal, thanks for giving us feedback on the Nest Mini and we‘re glad that you like it. We appreciate you for sharing your concern about your privacy.

      Google Assistant might activate when you didn't intend it to because it incorrectly detected that you wanted its help - for instance when there is a noise that sounds like ""Hey Google,"" or you manually activate your device accidentally. If that happens, and your Web & App Activity is turned on, you can say, ""Hey Google, that wasn't for you,"" and the Assistant will delete what you said from My Activity. You can also review and delete your Assistant interactions in My Activity at any time. If Google Assistant activates when you didn't intend it to, and your Web & App Activity setting is disabled, your Assistant interaction will not be stored in My Activity. To better tailor Google Assistant to your environment, you can adjust how sensitive your Assistant is to activation phrases (like ""Hey Google"") through the Google Home app for smart speakers and smart displays.

      We keep your personal information private, safe, and secure. By default, we don't retain your audio recordings on Google servers. You can decide to save your audio in your Google Account to make Google speech products more helpful to you and better for everyone. Visit your data in the Assistant to learn more about how your data makes the Assistant work for you.

      We care about your feedback and experience. If there’s anything we can be of help, please contact us anytime at the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I have Echo dots throughout my apartment, but I also have Google Nest minis throughout my apartment too. My TCL Alto 9+ Soundbars use google home.
