    Works great with my in home Google Mesh WiFi, and I'm starting to ask it a question or two a day habitually. Also plays music on demand, neato!

    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.

    Works amazing with the Google Nest Hub. Putting these all over my house to control wi-fi plugs and lights. Good quality as expected from Google!! Mic sensitivity is good and responsive.

    Great sound. Great design. But it's not easy to pair it with another device for all of them to play music or media.

    This was a Christmas gift for my girlfriends daughter. I never thought it would be so popular but it certainly was. She uses it daily and says it’s one of the best gift she’s ever gotten.

    You should have one in every room. It plays nighttime sounds, settles arguments, and tells all your smart devices what to do!

    I had a google mini 1 and this is much better than the first version. The bass is better and it has more led indicators on the top of the speaker so you know what you’re pressing.

    Not so smart

    You might do better to install smart home devices that are not dependent upon a remote server. The Mini works kind of, but is frustrating to set up to do everything it advertises to do. Google doesn't really support their products very well. My GE C smart lights don't work with each of the three Google and one Nest Minis that I have. I also have one Sonos One speaker that is semi-Google compliant, which does a better job controlling these lights. After some long troubleshooting sessions with Google and GE, Google said oh-well, your Mini is out of warranty. GE actually sent some replacement bulbs which didn't work with the Google Minis but did work with the Sonos One and with the GE app on my smartphone.
