    When I initially bought these over a year ago I would have given 5 stars but the Google home software has progressively gotten worse over that time. For some reason it stopped recognizing device and room names and I've had to rename devices and rooms as a workaround, but until Google fixes these issues I don't know if I can recommend.

    OMG... why didn't I get this device sooner? This is perfect for turning on my TV, playing music, asking about the weather, & I look forward to having more of these around the house. Perhaps I'll have smart lights to go with this as well. This device is pretty awesome to have. I recommend having a Google home!!!

    I received this as a free item along with one of my purchases and it’s alright. I don’t like that it cannot connect to my Apple Music and sometimes it cannot hear me even though I’m fairly close.

    With the on board processing chip, the new Nest Mini works in more situations without requiring internet access like the original did. Definitely enjoy the new color choices too. Note: If you have any accessories for the 1st Gen "Google Home Mini" like the battery pack bases, the new models use an updated barrel plug for power vs Mini USB... so these accessories are not directly compatible with the new hardware :(

    These things are trash. There's always an issue with these things! Either it won't connect with my YouTube Premium account, or it just out doesn't work for weeks on end. LOL, even hooking these silly things up to any kind of lights or home automation is an awful experience and never offers the same level of automation as Echo / Alexa. I have like 6 in my house and I just gonna throw them in the trash and get an Alexa.

      Hi Nate, we appreciate your feedback. We apologize for the poor experience you have with Nest Mini.

      If you haven't tried yet, we recommend performing a factory data reset on Nest Mini to help fix the issues you're having. This will erase all data on your Nest Mini and you may set it up like a brand new device once it finishes the reset process. To reset Nest Mini, check on the side of your device, switch the mic off. The lights will turn orange. Press and hold the center of the Nest Mini, where the lights are on top. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.

      If you'd like to get in touch with our support team, please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Not a big fan of Google Nest products, especially with privacy concerns and Google’s ability to mine all sorts of personal data. I ended up returning and getting Amazon Alexa products instead.
