    One of the best uses of $20. Although, I use it for a variety of tasks like find my phone, check the weather, play music, control home devices etc.

    I love the smart things but had issues with all of google home mini. It’s always says there was a glitch try again in a few seconds or something went wrong try again in a few seconds. Also playing night sounds all night instead of turning off after a while. Sometimes not turning lights on or off. Will look into Apple devices or Amazon echo more as I still have the first generation with zero issues

    • Brand response from Nest Support
      Posted .

      Hi Oldschoolstyle, thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear that you are having a poor experience with the glitchy issues for your Nest Mini.

      Resetting may help improve your experience with the glitchy issue for your Nest Mini. Keep in mind that this will erase all data and that you may need to set it up again. To reset, check on the side of your device, switch the mic off. 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 the issue is persistent, please feel free to contact our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This "new" google home does all the same as the old model but now has a better setup of touch controls on the speaker and the sound does have an edge over the old one

    Definitely has great sound coming out of such a small device. FYI, its stationary (can't unplug from wall). If you want to keep listening to music around your house, you need to purchase a couple more. Its handy to have at home.

    I've purchased a grand total of 6 of these little pucks. It's really nice for streaming music throughout the house or controlling "smart" devices. We just love knowing skynet is listening to our day to day. I always say please and thank you to the machine overlords on the other end of the wiretap. (Seriously though, music seamlessly playing in every room is fantastic).
