    I love this little device! Perfect to play music and podcasts or ask it any question! I use it to ask questions I have while cooking and baking.

    I got this to compare to Alexa, and after several months I have to say I find Alexa to be more user friendly. Example, the wife likes to sleep with music playing, so she's got this playlist she built on Youtube, we try to get the Google Nest to play it and it's like pulling teeth. Imagine you say "OK Google, play George Straight, all my Ex's live in Texas" and the Nest replies "OK Playing "Die M-Fer Die, by Willie D of the Geto Boyz"... or vice versa. That's the kind of matching we get, Ask for it to play something and you have to be like "Play X song, By X artist, from X album, released X day, on Youtube/or whatever music service" any less specific and the Nest just seems to be like "Hey man that's great and All, but I'm going to play what I want to listen to, buckle up!.

    Simple to install with Google Home and use with smart home devices. Best part is it gets smarter as Google rolls out updates.

    I've purchased a grand total of 6 of these little pucks. It's really nice for streaming music throughout the house or controlling "smart" devices. We just love knowing skynet is listening to our day to day. I always say please and thank you to the machine overlords on the other end of the wiretap. (Seriously though, music seamlessly playing in every room is fantastic).

    Great product, I just wish the charcoal nest mini came with a charcoal cable instead of a white one. The sound is of higher quality than our original big google home! We put a couple around the house to work with our hue lights.

    I’m putting the device next to my Nest WiFi router, which doesn’t have speaker or microphone. Works good given the price.

    I didn't think that I would use this. It came free with my Nest. Now, I use it to tell me the weather, call people, control my Nest and other tasks.

    Still learning about all the capabilities but we are enjoying the ability to play music, set timers or alarms, turn lights on or off - it's loads of fun

    I love these things. The sound is good but not great. I have for every room. If you have google home set up, then I would recommend them.

    We have four of the mini speakers. We needed two additional to have the whole home connected. We really like how small they are and discrete.

    Very easy to start and listen the music you like. The only little problem is when you take it to a different WiFi. I could not make it work .

    • Brand response from Nest Support
      Posted .

      Hello there, SergioP. We’re glad to hear your music experience has been ideal using the Nest Mini. But we’re sorry about the trouble connecting it to a different Wi-Fi.

      Google Nest or Home speakers and displays can only remember one Wi-Fi network at a time. To connect to a different Wi-Fi network, you might need to factory reset your Nest Mini, then set it up again. Visit the following links for more information:
      Factory reset Google Nest or Home speakers or displays: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7073477
      Set up your Google Nest or Home speaker or display: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7029485

      Also, there’s a short list of network types that we don’t recommend using with Google Nest devices. Avoid connecting to the following networks if you can. These networks may cause issues, or might not even work with your Nest products at all:
      - Mobile hotspots
      - Guest network, open networks, or isolated networks
      - Captive portal networks
      - Enterprise 802.1x/RADIUS networks
