    I got this nest mini assistant free with a nest doorbell camera. I have not hooked it up. So can’t give a review on it. I am sure it works.

    I bought one to try, and loved it had to have another. Sounds great. I gave all my 'alexa ' items to my x, and I am far more pleased with Googles knowledge by comparison.

    I love my Nest Mini. Used mostly in my master bathroom. Only issue I have is that I have to repeat myself before it starts playing music.

    The Nest Mini (2nd Generation) usually responds immediately but sometimes disconnects, not too often though. I know it's not my router because only certain devices have connection issues. The Nest Mini (2nd Generation) also becomes glitchy when streaming music with iPhone using iTunes or Spotify. Spotify does a better job though. If I purchased a sub to Apple music I'm sure it wouldn't disconnect ever, lol. It seems that apps not owned by Apple don't run so good on their devices and vice versa. You have to hit the media button in the Google home app to connect to speakers. They like to disappear or disconnect. I wouldn't recommend for streaming music or audio from TV all the time. Google needs people to be subservient so you have to say "Hey Google" to get it's attention every time and can't give the device a name you prefer.
