||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switch from Amazon Alexa to Google and I am glad I did. Alexa seem to answer even when the code word was not used. Google seems to understand us better.
I would recommend this to a friendA compact smart speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to setup and like the design. Also nice that you're able to hang this on a wall so it doesn't clutter your counter top space. One nit picky thing is that sometimes it doesn't always respond to your "Hey Google" prompt, so I end up saying it twice...

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I almost never review products that I purchase, but I couldn't stay quite about this smart speaker. It has some pros and cons, but for me the cons outweighed the pros. So let's begin with the pros. It is a great product if all you are doing are asking questions, using it as a reminder tool, alarm clock, shopping list, spotify music, controlling your smart plugs and smart lights. And that's about it. CONS: One of the biggest reason I returned this product is because of it's bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth would only pair to devices once, and then it would say "Something went wrong, unable to turn on bluetooth pairing mode, please try again later". If you wanted to pair new devices, you would have to unplug it and plug it back in for bluetooth pairing to work! 99% of the time, it would not connect to paired devices. I had it connect to my laptop, and almost immediately, it disconnected and never reconnected to my laptop. Google owns YouTube, and it's quite ironic that you couldn't cast YouTube videos to this smart speaker. If you wanted to watch videos and listen to music from YouTube you would have to connect it via bluetooth which barely worked for me. Setting up smart lights and smart plugs was also annoying. I tried pairing C By GE lights, and it never recognized the devices, when the C By GE app recognized their products immediately. A setup process that usually takes 2-3 minutes took me almost an hour. Once connected though, turning off lights and the smart plugs worked everytime. I was not expecting such a hard time with a product that was developed by one of the biggest tech companies on the planet. I was very upset having to return this product. If you want a smart speaker and an assistant for within the $30-$50 range, I would highly recommend the Amazon Echo Dot. I exchanged my Nest for the Dot, and it has yet to disappoint me. Would not spend my money nor my time of google home products again!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second one. I put in my garage when working on my car. It picks up wifi 70 ft away in my detached garage. I like to play music from it. The sound is nice for the size of it.

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great little product when it works. I've had 3 in recent years that all start great but after a while just randomly stop connecting and I cannot set them up or reset them.

Posted .Hey RealDeal, thanks for giving us feedback on the Nest Mini and we‘re glad that you like it. We appreciate you for sharing your concern about your privacy.
Google Assistant might activate when you didn't intend it to because it incorrectly detected that you wanted its help - for instance when there is a noise that sounds like ""Hey Google,"" or you manually activate your device accidentally. If that happens, and your Web & App Activity is turned on, you can say, ""Hey Google, that wasn't for you,"" and the Assistant will delete what you said from My Activity. You can also review and delete your Assistant interactions in My Activity at any time. If Google Assistant activates when you didn't intend it to, and your Web & App Activity setting is disabled, your Assistant interaction will not be stored in My Activity. To better tailor Google Assistant to your environment, you can adjust how sensitive your Assistant is to activation phrases (like ""Hey Google"") through the Google Home app for smart speakers and smart displays.
We keep your personal information private, safe, and secure. By default, we don't retain your audio recordings on Google servers. You can decide to save your audio in your Google Account to make Google speech products more helpful to you and better for everyone. Visit your data in the Assistant to learn more about how your data makes the Assistant work for you.
We care about your feedback and experience. If there’s anything we can be of help, please contact us anytime at the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Works as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for boosting a weak wifi signal. Depending on the size of your house you may need more or less. For my needs I am able to stream movies without loss of speed or quality.
