    Does what it should. Besides that, it is a nice color and goes well with a modern look.

    This was my third nest mini that I've added to my house. They are so nice to have around for simple things like the weather, time, alarms, playing music, etc. that I keep getting them to place in different rooms. Sometimes the spotify connection seems to be a little spotty and it starts playing random music instead of what I asked for but I can easily fix that on my phone. That's the only negative I've found.

    Google needs to get a it better with a few of it's automations (that can be blamed on their policy change a while ago that disrupted the way IOT interacted) but overall it does what I need

    I feel this has better sound for musíc than the Amazon Dot basic. Using Google Home is a cinch.

    This particular one was purchased as a gift, though I do have one. I think I speak for most when I say it underperforms as a speaker. For the price point and abilities as a smart hub, I think it's great to have at a desk or in a small room for voice commands, especially if you're not a huge audiophile

    I wanted to try out the new branded mini and wasnt disappointed. Couple of changes from a form factor include the change of the power plug. no more usb on these. I think they are a bit taller too as the shape appears different. Its louder for certain with better bass response and clarity. Im a fan.
