    It’s a great smart assistant, obviously it’s not expensive so it isn’t the highest quality speaker. But for the price point it’s hard to beat.

    SERIOUSLY, A WHITE CORD?!?

    I purchased the Nest Mini so I could hear my Nest Doorbell ring in my Pub. I selected the Charcoal so it would be discreet: blend in with the surroundings. To my dismay, it was provided with a white cord that sticks out like a sore thumb. Why would Nest supply a white cord with a Charcoal device? A black cord, yes. Amazon Alexa gets this. I had to hide it below my bar where it isn't visible at all. Fortunately I had power there. Step up your game Nest, this is Consumer Marketing 101.

    We got this as an add-on with a Sharp TV...It's novel, but cannot do several of the TV things (can change to TV and change channel, cannot load specific shows/games in apps) that I really wanted it for. In hindsight, I probably would have done one of the TVs that came with the Echo instead. That said, it was super easy to sync to my google stuff

    Stubborn Google Nest Mini-- Mind of its Own!

    i really like the Mini Googles, but the + and - volume marks should be added to the face of the Mini Google. I also learned the long way, that tapping the middle, turns the speaker on or off. When I do give Google a verbal order to stop playing the speaker, it doesn't always obey my commands, and I have to yell really loud so the Mini Google can hear me.

      Posted .

      Hello there, Puki. Thanks for letting us know that you like the Nest Mini. We understand that having visible marks to adjust the volume by touch can be ideal for you. And we’re sorry to learn of your difficult 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. 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

      Besides controlling the volume by voice or by touch, you can also adjust the volume of the Google Assistant, your media, timers, and alarms using the Google Home app. Here’s how:
      - Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your display.
      - Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
      - To adjust the volume, tap Media .

    It is similar to Alexa and Siri. When I use it with my Pandora account it does not sound great, but I can have a nice music environment. Does control on command the lights at home.
