    Over all good item. I don’t rely on the speaker by itself but more as a way to get my google assistant in all areas of my home. I have it set up wit by my nest hub displays.

    Much like my Amazon "Alexa" unit it works fine. I am a slow starter in the mornings so I say "Hay Google, give me the news" so I can lay there and moan and groan while I get the CNN headlines. Then I say "hay Google, what is the local weather?" Too bad it can't go to the bathroom for me because that is what gets me out of bed. I do not care about music fidelity on this unit but if you do you may want to buy the larger version.

    I watched so many youtube reviews, and I have now tested the google and alexa home assistants. saying hey google everytime is boring and feels like they are trying to force brand marketing on its users. you can not change it, unlike alexa which is a nice name thats easier and faster to say, and you can change alexa wakeup command too. my biggest issue with the google nest mini is when you try to turn lights to a certain color and it gets it wrong, then it starts talking really fast listing off the search results it found. the only way to shut it up is to tap on it, you can not stop it by voice. alexa lets you shut her up with just your voice. i get the feeling google will be smarter overall, and thats also what the reviews generally say. I also like that the google nest is touch sensitive, which the amazon echo is not. finally, I haven't tested the echo long enough but it feels much heavier, and comes with a significantly more powerful power plug. this indicates a more powerful speaker in the amazon echo. google nest is also uglier than the echo dot in my opinion, though im not in love with amazon echo design either. both of these are 25 at the time. i bought a google tv at the same time and it is buggy and slow, will be returning that as well. personally I prefer my old roku, its simple and works without crashing

    Does all the same stuff the big one does, just no display. The speaker won't blow you away, but it does the job.
