Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been a long time user of Google products. This was just another edition to our home. Amazing quality and easy to use.

Easy set up, excellent for teens and children. Easy to connect to Google smart homes. Lots of colors to choose from. Great price during the black Friday holiday.

I was surprised by how well this sounded. It's small but the speaker is better than most $100 to $200 big speakers. I love this thing, I highly recommend this product

Picks up my voice from the other side of the room and sounds great when responding. Great color and material. Just wish it was usb c

You're only limited by your imagination (and Matter/Google's ecosystem, and software library maintenance, and the tech economy's hardware offerings). Anyways, the point is: yes, voice activation and automation for various things does improve your quality of life if you set it up properly. For me the biggest three things have been: Google Newsstand, Spotify, and voice-activated lights, and setting reminders for the next morning has been nice, too. That said, you can get all that with your phone using the Google Home and Google Assistant apps, so what's the big deal? Not fussing with your phone or keeping it in your pocket all the time, and having a nice enough speaker with no bass channel so you don't annoy your neighboring apartment or roommate. So, who should buy it? Anyone with a small amount of disposable income and 600+ sq ft residential area, and anyone with a smaller residential area who also wants an okay speaker but doesn't really know what to get and doesn't want to do a lot of research or pay more for a JBL. Bad things! Doesn't hold a conversation even with Gemini, doesn't work with Audible because of Amazon being a doof about Echo/Alexa, and you will have to train yourself to make use of it and commit to giving it a task once a day at first just so that you don't forget about it for months or longer.

I was very hesitant at first of this speaker was worth it. It has more volume than expected and I truly recommend. It’s perfect for a small room and does the work. Thanks Google

Bought two of these on sale and we love them! We purchased some smart outlets and LED light strips (from another store) to hook them up to the google assistant so that she can turn them on by command or by timers on the app! Loud enough to play music throughout the house and we love how compact they are...you can even clip/stick them under cabinets to conceal wires and get it off the counter!

If you need music, set reminder, or connect to your phones google nest if for you. I love it and it was easy to use. Very small and very simple. I highly recommend it.

Great sound quality and very versatile in placing anywhere or on anything in your home. Works well with Google Assistant and easy to setup with the google home app

Big sound from little device! It’s not a full blown home theater system but it definitely adds to my whole house music experience. And also controls my lights and thermostat!

Great to get simple answers to simple questions, or playing sleeping sounds or just some music. Turns on/off my TV and also my lightbulb, easy to manage.

Easy to use, good sound quality, responds well to voice commands,

I absolutely love my google, it’s such a life changer, i use it for weather, sleeping, asking questions and playing games when im bored. love the app and the ability to change so many things, it’s small and sleek looking, matches a lot of aesthetics and fits in every space, also love the fact that you can hang it on the wall too!

Mini 2 was same price as Mini 1, so we got the 2nd generation and were SO pleased with the first one that we purchased a second one on the same day! Easy to install app and set up. Rarely have used the touch commands because the voice command "hey google... play (whatever name station you prefer) station on Pandora" with "increase volume XX%" or "decrease volume XX%" being the most used commands. Have even used "hey google, what time is it" or "hey google, tell me a joke" being useful. Great purchase!

Works flawlessly! My wife and kid Bryce love it. Bryce loves to ask questions in math and weather. Jenna uses it to play YouTube music. Google gives you your horoscopes.

For the size it is, it sure throws out great sound! Enjoy using it especially when we have a get together, you can hear it, but it's not blasting everyone out

Love the google minis but the use of features requires research and isnt as intuitive as initially thought. Integration with smart home devices is good but if i say hey google turn off “the floodlight” the answer’s always “im sorry i dont know how to help with that!!” (Im sorry……. “turn off floodlight”. Then get the response “ ok turning off “THE” Floodlight” i’m sure if I renamed it the floodlight it would not be a problem, but something as simple as that shouldn’t confuse Google

Love it! I have 3! Worth it, works great & connects easily

Pretty happy with my Google "home assistant" Nest Mini right now. Don't have any additional devices (thermostat, remote switches, etc.) but plan to get some. For now it's nice to have a voice-activated reference point for information, weather, traffic, music, and timer, etc. And it works great, I had some trouble connecting it in a second house, but did the reset thing and it worked fine. Looking forward to further exploration of its capabilities. Especially like the male voice option, something that Amazon's Echo (Alexa) does not have.

I received the 2nd Gen Nest Mini with another purchase and am happy that not all that much has changed from the first version. I am told the speaker is a bit different and it has a different proprietary power cable (not so happy about that) but I am unable to tell the difference too much. I mostly use my Sonos One for listening to music and the Nest Mini is mostly a backup device. Setup is really easy through the Google Home app and alltogether I was happy to receive this for free. I am not sure I would pay $50 which is the advertized price for this item and I think $20-30 would be more appropriate.
