    Good product. Amazing color. Suits great on dark surfaces. Some options can be improved much with respect to third party integrations. Rest all good google AI.

    Easy to set up and plug in via the HOME app on my phone. It'll do a lot of stuff, but I don't have a lot of other NEST stuff besides a thermostat in my house. Remember if you have the switch on, it is listening for "Hey Google" all the time (take that as you wish.

    Ok speakers with weird connection issues

    The sound quality is so so, but that’s kind of expected with these models. For some reason, these speakers drop their casting connection frequently and are laggy with changing music on Spotify. I use an iPhone so I can only speak of my experience with iOS. The Bluetooth also drops frequently too.

      Posted .

      Hi Bern,

      We appreciate you for sharing your feedback with us. We´re sorry to hear that Nest Mini didn´t meet your expectations.

      We recommend trying out some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful with the Spotify issue:
      - Uninstall and reinstall the Spotify app on your phone.
      - Reboot your phone after that and your Nest Mini.
      - If the first two steps didn't work, unlink Spotify in the Home app, then link it back through Google Assistant.
      - Go to Spotify Settings and toggle a setting called view local devices only on and then off.

      We´re aware of the issue, and if you experience it again, please send us a feedback with the keyword "GHT3 Fails to play Spotify". Here is a link to know more info about sending feedback using Nest Mini: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7071494

      Checking for possible interference and bringing Nest Mini closer to your other Bluetooth device may help improve connectivity. Performing a factory data reset on Nest Mini may also be helpful. If you still encounter the same issues, you may reach out to our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    Setup was pretty straightforward. Mic is better than 1st generation. Sound is decent for its size. Got it on Black Friday 50% off.

    Love the mini. I added it to my bedroom so it’s way easier to ask it to shut off lights, etc. I probably use this one more than the one on the first floor.
