Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought several of these when they were on sale, gave one to my daughter and put the others in various rooms at my house, one at our cabin in Maine. While they can do many things, the two most common uses I have are to play audio streams from far-away radio stations or to play a particular artist on Apple Music. Yes, I sometimes ask "Hey Google, what time is it?" and other simple questions, too. I particularly liked this color.

Simple to install and use Great voice recognition and clarity Use it to verbally adjust my nest thermostat and respond to people at the door Love it when I say good morning and it gives me the news and weather before I’m out the door Easier to use and more productive then Alexa

I have 5 of the Gen 1 Google Minis. They are very good. However, the Gen 2 Mini sounds so much better. Deeper bass, clearer mid-range. The setup remains simple as before using the Google Home App. I would not change out Gen 1 for this but if you are starting new - go with Gen 2

This is head and heals better than the first one and better than Alexa too.... you jus need to know what to do with it ....its even better when you get it for $25 at BB with free shipping can't beat it trust me I tried could not find it cheaper anywhere...BEST BUY ROCK's ...

I’ve been using this everyday and it’s great. I have it running my lights, the entirety of my entertainment setup (tv, receiver, Xbox One X with the use of a Logitech Harmony Hub), and play music via Bluetooth on the receiver. Setup was a breeze and after all these months I’ve only got a complaint and it’s about the app. I’m finding things kind of hard to figure out unless I Google how to do it lol but once I’ve got it set it’s good to go. I’ve setup numerous routines like when it should turn on lights, capture screenshots and video on the Xbox, launch specific apps and games on the Xbox and turn on specific Activities for my entertainment setup. All has been great. If you’re not heavily invested in an Amazon setup like having a Firestick I’d recommend this for sure. I only mention this because integration will be easier with an Alexa if you’re setup for Amazon things. I hope I helped you decide.

By far the best whole home speaker system. The ease of setup and ability to easily control multiple speakers in a single app is very useful. The sound quality is excellent and the volume is very good as well. You can easily build speaker groups to play different things in different areas of the house or ensure all speakers are playing the same thing. Very useful on cleaning days or times when you are moving throughout your house. Highly recommend Nest over Echo if you are looking for a whole home sound/assistant solution.

I've got both Nest and Echo devices along with various other smart home products. Each is better at certain things. The Nest Mini seems to do a little better with basic info queries. Sound is decent for such a small, inexpensive device. Great for kids or anyone just getting into practical smart home use.

It works well and does what it needs to. It connects to the wifi easily with no issues and has good sound playback

I love my new mini. Works great for the bedroom to control all our smart devices. Good sound for such a small device. I’ll be getting a couple more for different areas of the house. For the price you can’t beat it.

Great addition to my Google products. It's small enough not to look awkward but packs enough sound to make a noticeable difference. Maximum volume is not overly high but just enough not to be earsplitting. Can pick up voice commands from the next room over as well.

This product is a second generation google nest product. This version works smoothly with all my google smart products. It uses Smart Things to connect to your smart assistant. The setup was easy and connected after a few prompts

Good price and works like you would expect. I have one in almost all the rooms so it's easy to broadcast when needing to get someone's attention. It also has all the other functions if your setup permits such as lights etc.

This was a great little gift for our Mother (late 70's). So easy to use, and it has a link to help her make phone calls. She now uses the speaker for making calls to her sisters and can hear so much better than using her phone.

Smart speaker works well if chrome cast tv. Every TV in house has a chrome cast so we can turn off and on, plus watch our favorite shows by voice. This is also a great speaker for kitchen dance parties!

Love these speakers, I have one in almost every room in my house. I love being able to play music throughout the house and control my connected home with them. It's a powerful little speaker for the price. Super easy to set up.

Speaker sounds great and perfect for quick questions. Great way to stay organized. Have a morning and night routine set that goes through my entire day. The Google Nest Mini is a good way to avoid using your phone in the morning.

if you have google assistant already then you know how great having this is. I even love how there's a hole to mount on a nail to a wall sideways so it even makes for a nice decorative piece. I'm very surprised with how nice and loud the sound is.

We've only done a few things with it, so far, but it is fun to play with. It's always available with the temperature, or the forecast. It tells us what is on the calendar for this week. And I like that it can find music for whatever your mood is.

Perfect! Great sound quality and easy to setup. I bought a new pc that didn’t come with speakers and wanted something to use for streaming. Works perfect with YouTube music and no need to type anything, simply use your voice.

Love these speakers. Didn't know how useful they would be. Whether it is asking for an alarm, current weather conditions, play music or podcasts, etc. Sound is also good for the small size though don't expect too much.
