    Has unlinked itself twice in the first few months, 1st generation devices didn't do that. Not sure why it disconnects from the app.

      Hi Jamie,

      Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear of the connectivity issue with your Nest Mini.

      While we are aware of an issue regarding Nest Mini that disconnects from Wi-Fi network, we recommend performing some troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue. You can restart Nest Mini and Wi-Fi router to refresh the connection. Unplug the power cable from Nest Mini and Wi-Fi router and leave them unplugged for at least a minute. Then, reconnect the devices and wait for them to boot up. If rebooting the Nest Mini and Wi-Fi router doesn't fix the issue, we suggest performing a factory reset on Nest Mini device then set up.

    It isn't the best sound quality, but, it does the job. Very useful for controlling smart devices and the kids love talking to it.

    I bought one of these last year for Black Friday and now I'm back this Black Friday to buy several more for the rest of the house. Music is good but not the same as the larger and MUCH more expensive unit. I use there mostly for voice control of home automation such as Philips Hue lighting and other such items.

    For the first week it was amazing! Then it just stopped working, I did 3 factory resets and did the same with the smart lights and it just doesn’t work it won’t turn anything off or on and simple questions it says it can’t help. It often is not connected to the internet, it’s terrible my mom has an Alexa and it’s a million times better and I will be switching back.

    Have been using a Google home mini for the past 5 years. This was an addition to the home for the small room. Love the color. Like the sync feature where multiple speakers can play a song simultaneously.

    The 1st gens seem more sensitive to voices and understand speech better. I was happier when the power source was 5volts with a USB plug

    Does what is expected. Not much sound from this little thing, just ok. If you are looking for a link to smart devices, it does do the trick.

      Posted .

      Hi there Dale, thanks for choosing our Google Nest products. We're sorry to hear that one of your Nest Mini is crackling up whenever you play your favorite music. If you haven't tried yet, we recommend resetting your Nest Mini to see if it might be helpful with the issue. To reset, 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.

      We'd be happy to assist you further if resetting doesn't fix the issue. Please consider contacting our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
