    Works great to work smart devices, play internet radio and ask questions. Wish it could allow “drop in” or remote conversations over the internet.

      Hi Jf82,

      Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoy your Google Nest Mini. We're sorry to hear that you're having an issue with connecting your Nest Mini.

      Connection issues may be caused by several reasons such as Wi-Fi network congestion, distance of the device from the router, wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or devices nearby and outdated router firmware.

      If you haven't already, we suggest restarting your WiFi router. Unplug the router from the power outlet, wait at least 60 seconds before plugging it back in. If your Nest Mini is the only device that disconnects from WiFi, we suggest performing a factory reset on it to make sure it's cleared then set it up.

      Our team is always available to help, if you would like to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    This was a replacement for the Insignia home assistant I had that got stuck on a load screen and the horrible customer support from insignia would not help with.

    These things are cheap and handy. We mainly use them to turn things on and off throughout our house. Just know you are giving up a lot of privacy with these type of products. Audio quality is not great.

    I got this free from Best Buy over the holiday. I am an Amazon Alexa guy but I use this product in my garage because of the Bluetooth capability and it works perfect.

    I really like it but thought it was more a an additional speaker for my google nest, but it works independently. It won't work if the other one is active.

    These can provide hours of entertainment and act as a hub for smart lights amongst other devices. Try changing the voice of your assistant. Really amusing
