||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I almost never review products that I purchase, but I couldn't stay quite about this smart speaker. It has some pros and cons, but for me the cons outweighed the pros. So let's begin with the pros. It is a great product if all you are doing are asking questions, using it as a reminder tool, alarm clock, shopping list, spotify music, controlling your smart plugs and smart lights. And that's about it. CONS: One of the biggest reason I returned this product is because of it's bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth would only pair to devices once, and then it would say "Something went wrong, unable to turn on bluetooth pairing mode, please try again later". If you wanted to pair new devices, you would have to unplug it and plug it back in for bluetooth pairing to work! 99% of the time, it would not connect to paired devices. I had it connect to my laptop, and almost immediately, it disconnected and never reconnected to my laptop. Google owns YouTube, and it's quite ironic that you couldn't cast YouTube videos to this smart speaker. If you wanted to watch videos and listen to music from YouTube you would have to connect it via bluetooth which barely worked for me. Setting up smart lights and smart plugs was also annoying. I tried pairing C By GE lights, and it never recognized the devices, when the C By GE app recognized their products immediately. A setup process that usually takes 2-3 minutes took me almost an hour. Once connected though, turning off lights and the smart plugs worked everytime. I was not expecting such a hard time with a product that was developed by one of the biggest tech companies on the planet. I was very upset having to return this product. If you want a smart speaker and an assistant for within the $30-$50 range, I would highly recommend the Amazon Echo Dot. I exchanged my Nest for the Dot, and it has yet to disappoint me. Would not spend my money nor my time of google home products again!

Posted .Hi there, ChinenyeO. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Nest Mini. We’re sorry to hear your music experience is less than ideal.
You can play YouTube Music and Spotify for free, but you'll hear a station of songs inspired by the song, album, or artist. You may not get specific songs, albums, and/or artists, but you can ask for music based on genre, mood or activity. You can also link your music services and pick a music service as your default to enjoy music from popular music services by artist, song, genre, album, playlist, mood or activity. This default service will be used first when possible. Please see the steps below:
- Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your speaker or display.
- Open the Google Home app.
- At the top right, tap your account.
- Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to your speaker or display. To switch accounts, tap another account or Add another account.
- Go back to the home screen, and at the top left, tap Add, tap Music.
- To choose your default service, tap the music service you'd like to use. Assistant will use this service when you say “Hey Google, play music.”
Here are the list of music apps and partners you can use with your Nest Mini: https://assistant.google.com/explore/c/10/

Nifty
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t set my Spotify playlist as my alarm but I can choose my favorite band. It sometimes doesn’t recognize my playlist names on Spotify but other than that it’s a pretty neat thing to have. I wouldn’t say I “NEED” this but I don’t mind having it.

Depending on the size of your house you may need more or less. For my needs I am able to stream movies without loss of speed or quality.
