    This is easy to set up and has many uses. I especially like that it recognizes who is talking to it so it plays the correct music.

    I mainly use it as a Bluetooth speaker for the WebEx meeting when work from home. The voice of people is clear and sounds nature.

    I got these to replace my union-busting Alexas & discovered that while Google devices seem fine, the Nest software is super buggy, not nearly the dependable performance of Alexa. Different devices respond than the one you talk to, scheduled announcements play or not, Google help don’t seem to know why. They play music okay?

    • Brand response from Nest Support
      Posted .

      Hi medievalmvb, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Nest Mini is less than ideal.

      If multiple devices are responding to your commands, we recommend checking if you have an updated Google app version. Also, make sure that all of your devices are connected on the same account, and on the same Wi-Fi network.

      Resetting your Nest Mini may be helpful to refresh the system. This will erase all data and you may need to set it up again. To reset, switch the mic off located on the side of your device. The lights will turn orange. Press and hold the center of the Nest Mini, where the lights are on top. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.

      If the issue still persists, we recommend reaching out to our support team again, so we can further investigate what’s causing the issue. You may call us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    While not as fully-featured as the Amazon Echo products, the Google Nest Mini has a lot of opportunities and content if you're already hooked into Google. It's great for asking random questions throughout the day for information.

    He uses it to play music, ask questions and for an alarm. We have not yet programmed it to sync with other devices so no info on that yet.

    I had originally received one from my grandma a couple years ago but it’s been so nice to play music on, to turn on my television and my lights too. So I decided to get one for my brother for Christmas which was a perfect gift and I would highly recommend one to anyone looking for a nice gift.
