    Got this as a free item purchased with a tv. This product has been updated a lot since the last google home mini. But they should have kept the USB 2.0 plug

    It's nice to have, most of the time. Ever so often, it completely messes up the commands. For example, I said "Hey, Google, turn on the lights" and it replied "This is what a cat sounds like...Meow" (I'm not kidding)

    Have several of these. Very helpful. Wish it was easier to have it recognize everyone in the family but I don’t see a way to do that without giving kids more access than I’d like just so they could have voice recognition

    We have one for every room at this point. I mainly use them to turn on the lights and xbox. But my wife uses it for so much more.

    Still a few bugs in the system

    I got these to replace my union-busting Alexas & discovered that while Google devices seem fine, the Nest software is super buggy, not nearly the dependable performance of Alexa. Different devices respond than the one you talk to, scheduled announcements play or not, Google help don’t seem to know why. They play music okay?

    • Brand response from Nest Support
      Posted .

      Hi medievalmvb, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Nest Mini is less than ideal.

      If multiple devices are responding to your commands, we recommend checking if you have an updated Google app version. Also, make sure that all of your devices are connected on the same account, and on the same Wi-Fi network.

      Resetting your Nest Mini may be helpful to refresh the system. This will erase all data and you may need to set it up again. To reset, switch the mic off located on the side of your device. The lights will turn orange. Press and hold the center of the Nest Mini, where the lights are on top. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.

      If the issue still persists, we recommend reaching out to our support team again, so we can further investigate what’s causing the issue. You may call us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
