    I have a couple of these around the house and they make a great home sound system. Pair them with a few of the bigger Google speakers to add some more depth to the sound.

    Another great Google/Nest product. Put one in my garage to use for playing music and to have an assistant if needed. Works great. Plenty of volume for working on projects and plays music from a lot of different sources. I've had the original Google mini and they were alright but I like that this one has a mount on the back so I can put it on the wall. Great solution for me.

    This thing simplified my life. Get weather info or any other question you have, controls your AC, smart plugs etc., plays music. When I leave my house I just say I'm leaving and it runs a routine that turns of AC and some small appliances. When come back it turns then on. You can do much more other things with this small helper. Love it.

    Great product. I have 6 others and one had finally failed and needed to replace it. These are great for broadcasting in the house, playing music, asking for weather updates, turning on and off the lights in the house, and adjusting the temp in the house as well. Would recommend to any one wanting to get that smart home set up.

    Adding speakers to nearly every room

    I feel like the 2nd gen mini's have an upgraded speaker. The sounds seems better. As always, Google just makes a better speaker than Amazon. It may not have as many apps as the Echo, but I feel like the quality of the device is just a little better. And like cable, at some point the added apps on AMZN just lost their value as an incremental feature. All the big features are available on Google home.

    Google Is Much Better Than Alexa!

    After using Alexa for years prior, I’m so glad I finally switched to Google. We recently purchase a Google TV, so it just made sense to switch everything over. Along with Google home, the set up was so easy and we bought multiple speakers so each level out of home is seamlessly connected. Google makes the best products!

    Good Speaker for The Price

    The speakers on this thing are way better then the Google Nest Hubs I have. Neither produces 'studio quality' sound, but this mini is actually bearable especially for the price. The hub (first gen) which is significantly larger, and more expensive, sounds way too tinny. We use these for smart home automation, so they are a staple.

    I am selling my alexa systems - dots, shows, echos, all generations if anyone is interested in a good deal (hahaha). So this thing recognizes my voice so well compare to alexa where I have to say the same thing over and over again. Easy to set up, the sound is actually really good for such a little thing. My coffee go to with a “good morning google” - try it you’ll see what I mean.

    This was a gift my daughter gave me. I didn’t think I would really use it . . . Until now! It’s a “speaker” but a lot more than that!! I can listen to my YouTube radio & ask it to remind me for appts., tasks, ask for current weather, time, & so much more!! I bought one as a gift & buying another one for my kitchen area!

    This product works very well, and was fast to setup with my smart-lights. The Best Buy employee recommended this particular Nest Mini, for my wifi and services in a older home. I am glad for this suggestion.

    This is my first smart speaker and it has worked very well for me so far. It was easy to set up and start using right away. I use it almost exclusively to listen to Pandora while I work in the kitchen. I'm not an audiophile but the sound quality has been more than adequate for my needs, especially at this price point. I may purchase more for other rooms of the house.

    Love this thing! From playing Spotify to sleepy time noise, it's great. Also getting spoken answers basic information is pretty sweet! I would not recommend it as a BT speaker for a PC, the lag is bad. But it isn't advertised for that usage, so I don't count it as a bad thing. Easy setup, easy reset. Liked it so much I bought two.
