    This is a really good speaker for this price range. The echo and home pod mini are $20-$70 more and essentially do the same thing. So far so good.

    I have the 1st and 2nd generation speakers. I would not replace any 1st gen with the 2nd gen speakers unless if you have an area where you use the assistant quite a bit. The on board assistant engine is much faster.

    These are so convenient to have around the house. They are small but produce great sound. Simple request for alarms, timers and to dim lights or lower the AC are easy. Have one in almost every room of the house.

    Great for 20 dollars on sale for black friday. The speakers is loud enough and with a couple more creates a loud surround sound experience. My only complaint is the base isn't very clear or loud.

      Hi Jason,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. It means so much when our customers share their experiences. Indeed, this helps us get better.

      If you haven't already, we recommend changing the audio settings of Nest Mini from the Google Home app to improve its bass and treble.

      Here's how:
      - Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your Nest Mini.
      - Open the Google Home app.
      - Tap your Nest Mini.
      - At the top right corner of the screen, tap the Equalizer Settings.
      - Move the sliders under Bass and Treble to adjust.

      If you're willing, you can contact our support team and we'd be glad to further assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    A little better Hub Mini

    I have the older Hub Mini and Nest Mini. Nest has better sound recognition and can be wall mounted without additional hardware. Not much more beyond that. If you have to choose between the two, go with Nest Mini.

    Google App is Great, the Neat Isn’t…

    Decent speaker but not my favorite. I’ve tested and used Apple HomePods, Alexa echos, and now Google Nests and none of them work perfectly. However Google’s nest system is probably the least reliable, and that’s sad compared to Amazon’s poorly design echo network. Although Google’s home app is the best by far, the device itself loses connection, doesn’t detect prompts, and often times doesn’t preform the desired action. The accessories for it are more expensive than Amazon’s and again work unreliably.

    I bought it for my roommate's birthday gift. After he got it, I can hear he uses this for forecast, local news, and so on every morning. I think this small smart gadget changes his lifestyle better. Recommended.

    This is a nice upgrade from gen 1 in terms of being able to respond to voice-especially when room is loud or volume is up on the speaker. Hook on the back is nice to hang without having to purchase separate hanger.

    Quick and simple to setup and use. Music plays pretty good and loud. Kids love it in the bedroom. They use it alot setting alarms or playing music during homework. Does not take up any space.

    These are a great addition to your home if you like an assistant. Works with most IFTTT technology. I can control many devices from different manufacturers. Voice technology is always learning.
