    I already owned a Google Hub and a Google mini, first generation. I installed this second generation on the other side of a medium-sized room from my older mini. I can be looking directly at the older mini, and the new mini will pick up my request. I believe the new model has more microphones.

    One of our Nest Minis keeps unlinking from my Google account. Every day, sometimes multiple times per day, we (myself and the other person in my Google Home) get a notification saying one of us has unlinked the Nest Mini from our account, but neither of us did. "[email protected] unlinked Living Room speaker from your home" Once that happens, the only response the Mini will give is "Please login through the Google Home app" We'll re-link the Mini to our account through the Google Home app, but within 12-24 hours it will automatically unlink itself again. We have already... - Rebooted the Mini - Rebooted our WiFi - Factory reset the Mini - Factory reset every Mini/Chromecast in our house - Completely deleted our entire Google Home and set it up from scratch ...but it is still unlinking itself. We have two other Nest Minis in the house and they work perfectly. Only this one in our Living Room is having this issue.

    Very easy to set it up in the Google Home app and quickly added it to a "group" of other minis in the house to create a stereo setup. Of course, you need to have a YouTube premium membership to play music on more than 1 speaker at a time.

    To put it simply, it's hard to think of living in a home without an assistant. Be it from Google or Amazon. The great thing about the Google Assistant is overall compatibility with basically everything. I'm a bit surprised that out of the box, the audio quality was not as good as the 1st Gen Nest Mini but, after some EQ tweaking it ended up being much better. Built in wall mounting is also much appreciated.

    This is an awesome product. I like its simplicity and design. The color is good. It is very useful in day-to-day activities like getting weather info. It has a physical button to turn off the mic if you want. Sound quality-wise, this has a decent sound quality which is well balanced for voice-based search results and music. The sound quality for music is a little less than what you can buy JBL, etc Bluetooth speaker. Also, it is a wire-powered device so you can not bring around a Bluetooth speaker. But it does best what it is desined for.

    wake up in the morning.Go down stairs for breakfast. Good morning Google. It tells you all the news, sports, all your upcoming appointments, and don't forget to take your meds. Stream music, and can be personal. Also when I go to work, the Dog loves the soothing dog music it plays till I get home.
