Posted .Hi Sassy, thanks for sharing a review about your experience with Nest Mini, and it’s unfortunate to learn of your issue with the performance of its Google Assistant.
If your Nest speaker is having a hard time picking up your voice commands but not the other Nest Mini, there’s a possibility that the correct Mini is having trouble connecting with Google. We can rule out the possibility of your Wi-Fi connection being the cause of this issue by trying the simple steps below:
- Unplug your Nest speaker and wait for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait for the device to reboot, then give a voice command to try the Assistant again.
- Reboot your modem and router.
- Try to switch between 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz network to see which band is more reliable
- If there are nearby devices that may cause interference, such as microwave ovens, wireless speakers, baby monitors, Wi-Fi routers, try to move your speaker to a different room, or to move it closer to your router.
Also, Retraining your Nest Mini, to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may be helpful with the issue. 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

Mini crier
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The thing that impressed me the most was the sound quality from such a small speaker
I would recommend this to a friendA great device to have for music and games.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great to have when your cooking or cleaning in house
I would recommend this to a friendBetter than Alexa, in my opinion
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Google Nest. It’s better than Alexa because it does not ask to give a review on a Amazon Purchase in the middle of the night when we are trying to sleep. Plus, it connect easily to Spotify from across town so my child csn hear music.
I would recommend this to a friendGoogle rocks!

Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to be an Apple Man, and was extremely loyal to Siri...but since switching to the Pixel 6, I have been very very impressed with Google. Google. I never have any issues setting up routines or any devices. I plan on buying the nest hub and the Chromecast. I'm loving Google now!

Helpful Mini
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Mini for my boss and his mom. My boss is a quadriplegic, so the Mini gives him a bit of independence. His mom is partially blind, so Mini helps her to make calls. I'm very happy with this plus the deal I received.
