    Works great! I have 2 mini nests and 1 nest. Have them all connected and with play together. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because sometimes they disconnect from the WiFi. Not sure if that is a fault in the product or in my WiFi. I know I have issues sometimes, but can not be sure

    Voila. It's like magic. Love these things. Couldn't recommend enough. They are expensive so if you can't afford to outfit substantially your whole house then I don't recommend buying even one because you will want to buy more. I think google's solution is more elegant than amazon--but there are compatability issues here and there so do your research on what you want to do with them.

    Love the color and love that you can mount it on the wall. The fabric material is a bonus! By the why it’s recycled plastic! Wow! I prefer google assistants over alexa. I do own both but have more google around assistants around the house. Very modern style and. Cord is pretty good size if want to mount up height. Also can just be but on a table or shelf. Highly satisfied with this product and the price is a steal!

    These little speakers pack a punch in terms of sound, and as far as features, I consider it a shoulder above Alexa. I have one in every room of my house, and use it for everything from controlling lights, running the vacuum, locking the doors, an alarm system, and everything in between. If you want to customize features, head over to Google's IFTTT and cross integrate your favorite apps and products.

    Good sound quality for what it is. Good voice recognition and easy setup. I do not like that Google stopped putting auxiliary out jacks soni can plug it into a receiver. Being stuck to this little speaker made me return it

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I have two Nest Mini units in my home, and purchased another for my father. Setup was simple, and the Nest Mini synced flawlessly with a smart bulb that I had also purchased for him. I had forgotten that my father uses Sirius XM Radio, which also integrated easily with the Nest Mini. Setup was a breeze, and within no time, he was able to listen to his favorite radio stations by voice command.

    Best Compact Smart Speaker

    Great, compact smart speaker. My favorite on the market. Google Assistant is the smartest assistant out of them all, music sounds great from it, considering it's size, and has great multi room functionality to have your music or podcasts synchronized across multiple units in different rooms. You can even use it to make free US calls via speaker! And you initiate it all by voice!

    Got a 2-pack and love it! We wanted something simple to hold our kids minis and this is just the thing. Feels well-made and I like how organized it keeps the cords. We've had some that you have to just shove in and it's a pain. This was quick and the directions are very clear with pictures to make sure it goes smoothly when you're getting it all in there. Would definitely recommend.

    We ordered our second Google Nest Mini and found that we can sync both so that they are playing the same stuff. We are mostly playing Pandora stations but also radio stations from classical to folk. The nice thing is that the radio stations are free from static and stations from outside the local reception area can also be played.
