I purchased this for an elderly relative whose home color scheme is orange. She lives alone and we needed a way for her to make calls in case of emergency. She loves it. It doesn't clash with her decor and provides her with all of the functionality that she needs.

I received this google assistant free with another purchase. Overall, after using this for about month I prefer my Amazon Alexa more.

This smart speaker is ok for the price but not for me, it’s not loud enough and you have to scream at it for it to work.

Hi Algasmo450,Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that Nest Mini didn't quite meet your expectations. It means so much to us when our customers share their thoughts as it helps us to improve our products and services.There would be times that Google Assistant might not activate when you say “Hey Google” or “OK Google,” particularly in a noisy environment. If this happens often, you can make it more sensitive. We recommend adjusting the “Hey Google” sensitivity setting (English Assistant language only). This setting lets you choose how sensitive your Nest Mini is to phrases that sound like “Hey Google” or “OK Google.”To adjust the sensitivity setting:- Open the Google Home app Google Home app.- From the main screen, select your Nest Mini.- At the top right, tap Settings and then “Hey Google” sensitivity.- Choose how sensitive you want Google Assistant to be when it responds to you.If you continue to experience the same issue, reach out to our support team so we can help you improve your experience here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Kind of hard to reset the item and not a fan of the color. It would be great if some command settings could be adjusted.

We purchased a Nest Mini to complement our other Nest products, our doorbell and thermostat. Other folks may be looking for other stand-alone functionality and from what we've seen, it's fairly reliable as well.

Someone wanted this as a gift. They like it, but I personally avoid Google products due to privacy.

It was a great purchase, I choose pink, yet I have the male voice on it. It comes very handy with multiple things. Once you learn all the things it can do, you'll also think it's worth the 50 bucks that it costs.

Bought this to equip another room with a smart speaker for music listening and broadcasting ability. Setup was easy and I hung it in the wall though I had an issue with the speaker. Day 1 it worked fine. The next day when I started playing anything there would be random static that sounded like popcorn popping. Happened again consecutive days so had to tell return. Will try another one seeing how I like it.

Had to update to second generation Google with our new Xfinity modem. These blue google minis are super cute, connected quickly and work great. If you upgrade your internet service and modem and then find your original Googles won't connect - you probably need second generation ones too.

Nice device. Pales in comparison to similar devices due to the lack of compatibility with other music services.
