    These are a great addition to your home if you like an assistant. Works with most IFTTT technology. I can control many devices from different manufacturers. Voice technology is always learning.

    These are so convenient to have around the house. They are small but produce great sound. Simple request for alarms, timers and to dim lights or lower the AC are easy. Have one in almost every room of the house.

    Loved it the first night but then started having problems with it connecting to Spotify. Research revealed it seems to be a common problem. Really liked it before the problem. Good size and look. Returned for the Amazon Echo Dot.

    I have the 1st and 2nd generation speakers. I would not replace any 1st gen with the 2nd gen speakers unless if you have an area where you use the assistant quite a bit. The on board assistant engine is much faster.

    Solid product for simple smart home devices

    I have mainly used this product to control smart lighting and it performs well with voice commands, proximity sensors, and routines. It is just an OK audio speaker, with not a lot of bass output, most likely due to the size of its circuitry. It could do a better job of spatial imagining. I have paired it with another Nest Mini in the same room, to try and produce a stereo image. Build quality is relatively cheap. This product was on sale for $25 during Christmas. I would have felt much better spending $25 on the second one rather than $50. Does not work with some smart devices without a hub (didn't work with my main Samsung Smart TV). Set-up on some non-Google affiliated devices can be a bit tricky for non-techie people. Overall, it's ok. A little over priced at $50.

      Hi ALONZO, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We´re sorry to hear of your disappointment with some of the features with Nest Mini.

      We´re aware that everyone will always have their own preference when it comes to sound quality. For this reason, we have enabled adjustment of the sound settings for our Google Nest devices, including Nest Mini. We recommend trying out this adjustment to see which audio settings fits your taste:
      Adjust bass and treble level:
      - Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your Chromecast, or speaker or - display.
      - Open the Google Home app.
      - Tap the device you want to adjust and then Settings and then Audio and then Equalizer.
      - Adjust Bass and Treble level.

      We'd like to hear more about your experience with integrating Nest Mini with your other smart devices. This will help us to better understand the issue and figure out a way to improve your experience. Feel free to reach out to our support team for your support needs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Small, unobtrusive, responsive, and looks great. Easily linked up to my Google Home app. Not bad audio for its size, either, although don't expect anything great.

    A little better Hub Mini

    I have the older Hub Mini and Nest Mini. Nest has better sound recognition and can be wall mounted without additional hardware. Not much more beyond that. If you have to choose between the two, go with Nest Mini.

    I bought it for my roommate's birthday gift. After he got it, I can hear he uses this for forecast, local news, and so on every morning. I think this small smart gadget changes his lifestyle better. Recommended.

    This is a nice upgrade from gen 1 in terms of being able to respond to voice-especially when room is loud or volume is up on the speaker. Hook on the back is nice to hang without having to purchase separate hanger.

    2nd Generation of the Nest Mini Smart Speaker has a great appearance. The pucks are the perfect size to easily hide around your room for easy use of the Google Assistant.

    Intelligent smart speaker

    Google Assistant is the best smart assistant out there. I own an Alexa too and sometimes talk to Siri, but neither of them come close to the range of functions that Google can perform. It can pull up answers to complicated questions from internet articles and I constantly use this feature. The design of this speaker also looks good and the red color looks good on a desk or nightstand. The speaker quality is not as great as Echo 3, but it is still very good for music.

    I troubleshot a little with it because my first language is English and my mom's is Spanish, so I was trying to figure out if it would pick up both languages. I eventually figured it out and it works beautifully.

    I have all kinds of home automated features hooked to my google mini. I was without it for a while and missed it dearly. I can control my lights and plugs from Kasa TP-LINK with it. Never have to get out of bed in the middle of the night again to turn on a light. I can control it all with google or through the app.
