    Haven’t opened yet but friend has one. Performs basic tasks like any of the others out there. Will update once opened. Not sure how much it will get used but has decent potential.

    I got this nest mini for free, so it's really hard to complain. The functionality is pretty limited obviously, but this is great for those small features that are very useful (timer, weather, news, etc.)

    I love the mini because it has more information available verses the Alexa. And the design is much more modern.

    I have these in multiple places throughout the house and while I prefer it to the Alexa my only critique is that there isn’t a battery base option to make it portable.

    Got it to announce the doorbell. I also sometimes use it to listen to music. The “Hey Google” is pretty erratic.

      Posted .

      Hi SIWA, we appreciate you for sharing your feedback about the Nest Mini. We’re glad that you like the Visitor Announcement feature, and that you use it to play your favorite music. But we’re sorry to hear of your poor experience with the performance of its Google Assistant.

      Google Assistant might activate even if you don't say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google” when it detects something that sounds similar. Also, it might not activate when you say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google,” particularly in a noisy environment. Retraining your Nest speaker, to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps on these help articles:
      - Check which devices are using Voice Match: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7588195
      - Adjust how sensitive Google Assistant is to “Hey Google: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9712065

      We care about your experience. For more help, our dedicated team is always ready to provide you with services and assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I have an alexa and wanted to try the Google nest to compare features before getting additional ones for my family. I prefer alexa to Google home devices because it seems much more limited.

    Low cost Internet of Things device. Can control with my iPhone. Only complaint on music services is lack of Amazon music. Standard music services are good, but I don't subscribe to premium services.

    The sound quality is fine for a small speaker. Google's Smart home is easy to setup and works well with other Nest devices
