The Google Nest Mini was my first adventure into a connected home. It was simple to setup and considering the price point, is an amazing value. It sounds as good as bluetooth speakers that cost much more and has the advantage of not needed to keep your phone as a dedicated connection to enjoy music. Because of how well this turned out, I just purchased my third Nest Mini to add to my home.

Great speaker. Amazing sound for the size. It’s easily able to hang on a wall as well and multiple colors make it match your style. The microphone works great and picks up my voice perfect, and the speaker is behind a picture. The only thing this is missing is a heavier bass, but I personally don’t listen to much music on this, and when I do I don’t listen to it very loud. A over all great product and one I am happy with purchasing.

These minis are great because they don't take up a lot of space but they have really nice sound. I have them all over my house and use them for synchronous music all over and controlling other smart devices in my home.

I was more than pleased with my purchase of the Nest Mini. The sound quality is fantastic! The bass is as good as speakers costing 3 times the price.

Sleek smart speaker

I have google everything in my home and I love the sleekness of this smart speaker. This is actually my third in the home and I absolutely love them. You can make groups for a downstairs, outdoor, or even whole house which is great when you are entertaining and have different rooms to cover. The sound is great and google assistant is my favorite. I wish there was some compatibility for apple music, but I am able to Bluetooth which works about the same.

This new Nest Speaker by Google is fantastic! For such a little speaker I am impressed with the full range of sound it provides, including the lower range. I have several of these setup throughout my house, the setup was very easy and the speakers immediately worked without any issue. I am very impressed that I can sync all of these speakers together through the Google Home app and have my music play throughout the entire house.

This is my second Nest Mini, my husband has the first one in his garage. I bought this Next Mini to plug outside when were are outside. I don't leave it out, but take it out and plug it up and in a few minutes it is ready to play music, set a timer for the grill, or just ask Google what is the temperature. The music sounds great and it is light to carry. I just love it so I can play my favorite music outside.

Our google home gave out after 4 years so we needed a replacement for our kitchen. We decided we didn’t really want to spend $100 right now so we went with this one at $30. The sound is still very good as we play music from all of our google minis in the house. It’s easy to move around to different rooms if you’d like and it’s easy to connect to. We love having google minis around, as we also have voice controlled lightbulbs and thermostat. No complaints here :)

I have 3 already this will be 4. Need I write more… you can sync all the speakers together and create surround sound. Or turn on and off the lights or tv you pick. It’s very easy to use and convenient also safe when your away from home if you can control your lights when your not even home. I love how now you can hang them on the walls the older model didn’t have that feature.

I have the original Google home mini and wanted one for the living room and bedroom. I was expecting the sound quality to be about the same. Boy was I wrong!! The vocals are very clear on this little device and the bass is strong. What a difference between the two speakers. My google home mini is in a room I don’t use too often. Oh, and it’s easy to set up.

Love these little guys and I don’t have it set up for everything it can do yet. Ask questions found on the internet, weather, my calendar, change the thermostat setting, timers/alarms, reminders, turn on/ off lights, play music from various sources and with only a request. My son has, you know, the other one, and it has a continual problem thinking you are talking to it - not the google mini. Love it!

I have several Google Home devices and recently "upgraded" two of them to the Nest Mini. It's hard to really call this an upgrade, the sound is better, the newer touch spots resolve issues from the previous generation, but I've had more problems with the second generation models than I ever did with the first. They frequently mishear me, even when I'm only a few feet away, if they even seem to hear me at all. I even had to reset and reconfigure both of them after they somehow lost their wifi settings while every other device was perfectly happy.

Brand response from Nest Support

Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with your Nest Minis. We’re sorry to hear about that issues with your Google Assistant and with the connectivity.
Google Assistant might not respond properly when you say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google,” particularly in a noisy environment. Also, being specific with your query will help you get better responses. Make sure Nest Minis recognize your questions correctly. Ask the same questions to see if you will get the same answer. Retraining your Nest Minis, to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps on these help articles: - Check which devices are using Voice Match: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7588195 - Adjust how sensitive Google Assistant is to “Hey Google: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9712065
Also, if your Nest Minis continue to lose its Wi-Fi settings, you can try these simple steps below that may improve the connectivity: - Check your Wi-Fi network for possible congestion. Relieving some of your connected devices may help free up some bandwidth space. - Check the distance between the Nest Mini and your router. Ensure that it is within a line of sight from your router. - Check for wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or appliances and devices nearby. - Restart Nest Mini and router to refresh the connection. - Reset Nest Mini by following the steps here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7073477

This nest mini with google assistant is a great little speaker. I have installed this in my shop and it was very easy to setup. Since I already had several setup in the house it linked up and I can control everything from different places. It also has great sound from a small speaker and I listen to music from it all the time. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to have control all of your smart house.

We bought these for Christmas over a year ago and love them. No more yelling across the house, music sounds great, it solves arguments between kids. I can set up routines to get weather, set alarms, and set the home security system by telling it goodnight or good morning. I can even see if my kids' tvs are on from the app and tell it to turn them off.

I bought this for my parents house. It's awesome so far. My parents are able to use it. Works great. Speaker is good. Very affordable and also love how It doesn't take up to much room. Can take it room to room if necessary. It also connects to my smartTv via Bluetooth But there isn't much I can do with the Voice commands on the Tv. Other than that really appreciate this device. Thanks Google for the awesome product. Glad I waited.

The sound quality is a little better than the first generation Home Mini. Easy to connect to the Google Home App and wi-fi. For such a tiny device, don't expect booming sound from these. However, they are excellent entry level smart speakers. When I got these, Best Buy had dropped the price by half, which made them a no brainer to buy. Also glad that now they are compatible with Apple Music.
