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.

This small, but mighty, speaker is fantastic. I have 6 of them throughout my home. Can't bet the sound, for the price!

Good for Assistant, not good for sound quality

I have several Google Home Minis and I enjoy them as a supplement to bigger speakers. I have the larger Google Homes in the main rooms in my house and have these smaller ones in rooms I don’t spend as much time but still want Assistant connectivity.
Sound quality is not great, hence the 4 stars (mix with better speakers in nearby rooms and you won’t notice). Volume is surprisingly loud, and I love the ability to wall-mount with a single screw/nail.

Handy, compact smart home control

After a few years of trying to use my iPad to control my smart home devices (which proved unreliable), I finally broke down and picked-up a Google Nest Mini while it was on sale for the holidays -- and I'm very glad I did. All I use it for is to control my smart home devices. The first unit I purchased constantly disconnected from my Google Account, which was frustrating. However, after a few months, the device finally became a brick entirely and Google support was quick to send me a new one. Since the replacement, it's worked flawlessly. For someone who only uses this device essentially as a voice-activated remote control for switches, it's perfect for what I need. The sound quality is fine the few times I've used it to stream from Pandora (when the alternative would have been my iPad or iPhone speaker), but I cannot attest to the speaker quality for people really intending to use it for that function.

Exactly what I wanted. I like my music a little loud. My phone wasn't loud enough so purchased the Nest Mini. It was easy to connect to my Samsung and now I can have my music louder!

Nice Little Speaker

This is a great product. A great quality little speaker that really fills up the room. I prefer the Google suite of products to Alexa. Great for reminders, for music, for timers, etc.
It can be a little tricky to set up with the network, especially if you have multiple Nest Minis. For example, one may take over the other when you're playing music (e.g., Spotify) and that can be annoying.
Sometimes I'm in my truck and all of a sudden the music will change because my kids are using the Nest Mini at home and it overtakes my phone! So I'll change the music and then I'll take over the minis at home! These sorts of interactions are common and highly annoying.

Better than Alexa

Purchased two and both work great. I'm not sure if it's the software or hardware, but compared with the Alexa system that we used before, Google has a lag/ delay of a few seconds when responding to voice commands that is definitely noticeable. The echo dots that we used before switching to Google seemed to have a lot of conflicts with the router that we were using, resulting in having to constantly restart the router to reconnect everything (usually at night when telling Alexa it was time for bed, and the last thing you want to be doing is messing with the router just so that you can turn the lights off).
Anyway - we use the nest minis with the Google Nest router system, and aside from the delayed response time, everything is working nicely. I like how they recognize voices and customize commands accordingly based on how you set up settings and routines in the app. Spotify integrates really well and I'm super happy we switched.

We can't recommend this product more, we use it to play music, cooking tips, turn on lights, etc. It is a very easy to set up and the speaker on it is great.

I am a huge fan of smart home technology and the Nest Mini doesn't disappoint. It allows me to get a great deal done with just my voice. Is like an extension of myself, and as such can be quite useful. I am constantly interacting with it and using it for work, personal life, and just the basic needs of the day. It helps me learn, access information, communicate, and entertains me throughout the day. That is just the basics. But when I couple it with my smart home products it makes things even simpler and easier.

Love how small but loud these speakers are. They work great and so easy to use even the kids are able to ask google to play something on their own.

I got this mini speaker initially to get it to work with my new security system (Vivint). While it can't pair with the Vivint system, I still like having it, especially because of the routines. When I say good morning, I can program it to give me the weather and the news, although I chose to turn the news feature off.
When I'm ready for bed, I say good night and I can program it to give me tomorrow's weather, set an alarm, and give me a choice of ambient sounds to fall asleep to.
While I was a bit disappointed with the fact that I couldn't use it with my security system (Vivint is aware of the issue), I still enjoy the features and I'm glad I bought it.
