    I have a few of these around the house. My son set it up so that we can talk to each other in different rooms. We even use it as alarm clocks to make sure we are all awake in the mornings.

    HUGE improvement in audio quality over the first generation. Fills up a bedroom with music and I can control my entire home automation. Should've bought one of these sooner!

    The google home mini was pretty good. I had them for a bit over a year without any issues until recently. The microphone has a bit of trouble hearing your voice so for the home to hear it you have to talk loudly but overall it’s pretty good

      Hi Jordy, we appreciate your review of your Nest Mini. We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some recent difficulties with the microphone having trouble hearing your voice. We'd recommend that you retrain the Nest Mini to better recognize your voice. We also suggest adjusting the Hotword sensitivity as it may also be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps below:

      Retrain Voice Match:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
      - At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      Change Nest Mini's Hotword sensitivity:
      - Open your Google Home app.
      - Select your Nest Mini.
      - At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon.
      - Then tap Audio.
      - Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your Nest Mini more responsive to the hotword.

      We still want to know more about your concerns on the product and the other issues you had with it so we can help improve your overall experience. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I have all kinds of home automated features hooked to my google mini. I was without it for a while and missed it dearly. I can control my lights and plugs from Kasa TP-LINK with it. Never have to get out of bed in the middle of the night again to turn on a light. I can control it all with google or through the app.

    This came free with the new Sony TV we bought for our son for Christmas. He has Android and loves that he can connect his Samsung phone and TV through the app and control the TV with his voice.

    Replaced the first generation device as the manufacturer abandoned the product (wouldn't provide updates)... The new device works great with additional features but still has some voice recognition issues... Good that we were able to buy it at the Thanksgiving sale.

    It is good to have when I misplace my phone. The volume tends to be low even at the highest range. It is nice to get up in the morning and be able to ask about weather and news. I feel more secure with it because I can ask it to call emergency if I have one.

    Only bought two at first, but when I realized how much more convenient they are, as opposed to carrying your phone everywhere, I had to buy two more. Smart home, here I come!

    Love these. Own four. Very convenient and the ability to setup speaker group is awesome. Cheapest way to obtain whole house audio. These pack more bass than the first generation.

    2nd gen provides new led indicators so that you can see where to touch for volume and Center area for play/pause touch control. The speaker sound is slightly improved. The only drawback is that the charger is no longer a standard USB as it was in the last generation of google home mini.
