    Got this one for the living room as I already had a first generation in the bedroom. Speaker sounds great. Love being able to ask it to play NPR or different music.

    Overall it’s a good product. Thus far, I haven’t utilized it as much as I could be, but it is cool how different things in the house can be controlled by talking to an object.

    We have the smart bulbs and when you use this you can ask it to turn on or off your lights. You can also as it to turn your lights on to 50% or 75% or whatever, it is great!

      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 Nest

    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 bought the original Google mini a year ago which worked fine. But this one, not only is not responsive, it has better audio all around. Definitely better than the original!

    Love the nest mini. Nice size, multiple uses, good audio. For any device extraordinaire, the setting up would be a breeze. But for baby boomers there’s a distinct lack of knowledge, pulse laziness to learn. Our kids will set it up in no time.

    Love this color ways, looks and sounds great, 'Hey Google' is very responsive and does very well, overall well worth it and a great value for the cost, you do need to have it plugged in and connect to internet, Google Music is an awesome add on with custom playlists and great recommendations in the explore section.

    Bought two of these as raffle incentive prizes at work. As a personal owner of a Google Home product, I thought these would be cool, easy tech gifts. Decent price.
