    I'm not convinced it's much better than the original, but the original was good, so I guess this one is too. Has issues recognizing my voice sometimes, when the original the next room over hears it just fine.

    Great to place around in various rooms/dens. Not the best microphone pickup, but does the job if you're semi nearby or talking loudly.

    I purchased this system to connect with my Nest Thermostat. The Nest mini works well and I am going to try and combine it with my Sirius XM.

    Google nest is the best voice assistant you can have in your house. It is so easy to create shopping list, reminders, music. The applications are enormous. Google is doing fantastic job with providing regular updates to keep audience engaged. This one scores above Alexa in terms of free service. I am all in for this product.

    Great little speaker for small spaces

    At its price, this is a better wireless speaker for small spaces than most other wireless speakers. Enabling access to streaming music, it is more than enough sound to fill a bathroom as long as the volume is kept at a reasonable setting. Also, at its holiday price where this item is free with another purchase, the risk of damage due to moisture becomes moot.

    Got this device free with a recent TV purchase. It's versatile. Accepts voice commands and has many useful functions for smart home folks. I would not recommend this as a replacement for a wireless music speaker.

    This is great! I have it in my bedroom as a second Google Assistant and it is so handy. Now I don't need to use my phone at night or 1st thing in the morning for news or music. My 1st Google Home is in the living room also purchased 3 years ago at Best Buy and continues to work great. I use both every day. What a great invention!

    Pretty nice to have but sometimes disconnects with internet? Unlike other devises around house. Reminds me of commercial yelling at smart speaker to play jazz music! Lol! But when connected and working it is nice to use.

    • Brand response from Nest Support
      Posted .

      Hi there, MichaelM! Thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear that your Nest Mini sometimes activates on its own. Adjusting your Nest Mini's mic sensitivity and retraining it to better recognize your voice can be helpful with the issue. Check out 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.

      We also recommend changing your 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.

      If you need further assistance, we recommend contacting our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
