I bought one of these last year for Black Friday and now I'm back this Black Friday to buy several more for the rest of the house. Music is good but not the same as the larger and MUCH more expensive unit. I use there mostly for voice control of home automation such as Philips Hue lighting and other such items.

I love it I had this one in my livingroom I listen to music why im relaxing and my kids love it

Worked great initially then started getting slow with commands

Google has come a longgg way. It has greatly improved in clarity and voice response as compared to Amazon’s Alexa. Google Nest Mini also has easier setup and command settings. I have better control of my ecobee when it comes to turning on my heat or air...echo sends me around the universe and back again

I have one for each room and control all lights in my house (45 total). Makes my life much more easy.

I don’t use this as much as my Alexa, but it is still pretty cool and has great command features.

Love all the Google smart home device's, this one was bought as a Christmas gift for my folks.

Really enjoy this. They can do quite a bit of things in my house. Plan on using it quite a bit.

bought this to replace my old amazon alexa. works much better!

Works just like the model from 2 years ago. Just a different color. Alexa Echo dot has better sound quality; but Google does a better non-entertainment type search.

2nd one that I purchased to have them set up around the house and I definitely recommend

Have multiple connected in the Google Home app, easy to set speaker groups and play all at the same time.

I have one at home I bought it for my friend gift for his birthday he loves the Google nest

I purchased more smart items because of the nest mini. This is a product everyone should get at home.

Only difference I can find so far other than slightly better audio quality is that this can be wall mounted.

Love the google home. We have these scattered throughout the house. Smart home apps are great.

Ridiculous, convoluted set-up procedure - even after SIGNIFICANT time invested in the set-up - many “functions” stopped working. The Google device caused so much trouble, it was inconsistent in its functioning, during the long set-up it had me make too many decisions that I didn’t know what I was deciding for, and it required voice training & set-up on each device. Purchased an Echo dot and completely satisfied with set-up and functionality. The Echo Dot set-up took about an hour and a half but went fairly smooth. I did need to create an Amazon account but it did not require that I put a credit card in. The Alexa app does grab any contacts in the cell and although it gives the appearance that you can choose for it not to grab contacts it is very difficult to stop it from grabbing the contacts and once the contacts are in the app you cannot delete them - you can delete contacts you manually enter within the app. The set-up on one Echo Dot did transfer to the other Echo dot - time saver. No voice training was requested and others visiting seems to have complete access. The reminders work well it repeats twice and then stops. It reminds you exactly as you asked it to. My brother had the echo dot say the rosary with my father.

For an average user, there's not much difference from this and the 1st Generation Google Mini that I notice.

Mini addition to your home for a smart device lover Google is awesome like always

Works exactly as intended, i have 4 of these things and they all work equally well, no complaints
