||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the google minis but the use of features requires research and isnt as intuitive as initially thought. Integration with smart home devices is good but if i say hey google turn off “the floodlight” the answer’s always “im sorry i dont know how to help with that!!” (Im sorry……. “turn off floodlight”. Then get the response “ ok turning off “THE” Floodlight” i’m sure if I renamed it the floodlight it would not be a problem, but something as simple as that shouldn’t confuse Google

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very hesitant at first of this speaker was worth it. It has more volume than expected and I truly recommend. It’s perfect for a small room and does the work. Thanks Google
I would recommend this to a friendLove google products!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought two of these on sale and we love them! We purchased some smart outlets and LED light strips (from another store) to hook them up to the google assistant so that she can turn them on by command or by timers on the app! Loud enough to play music throughout the house and we love how compact they are...you can even clip/stick them under cabinets to conceal wires and get it off the counter!

I would recommend this to a friendGreat purchase for adding music to any room.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mini 2 was same price as Mini 1, so we got the 2nd generation and were SO pleased with the first one that we purchased a second one on the same day! Easy to install app and set up. Rarely have used the touch commands because the voice command "hey google... play (whatever name station you prefer) station on Pandora" with "increase volume XX%" or "decrease volume XX%" being the most used commands. Have even used "hey google, what time is it" or "hey google, tell me a joke" being useful. Great purchase!
I would recommend this to a friendHandy and convenient
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google products are my go to. I feel that they are better built and always function as intended. This one isn’t any different. Works exactly as it should and setting up was a piece of cake.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big sound from little device! It’s not a full blown home theater system but it definitely adds to my whole house music experience. And also controls my lights and thermostat!
I would recommend this to a friendSubtle and powerful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device with a full power of Google Assistant. Can easily be placed in settle locations where it is out of sight behavior. Usable. Microphone is ridiculously good at picking you up across long distances without the need to increase your voice volume. This is only a four-star review because they never resolved the touch to pause issue from the very first generation. You have touch volume controls but not longer a center pause touch button. There are also some nice aftermarket battery based that can allow this to run for 4 hours. Eg. Take it outside to the patio.

Posted .Hi cbkyro, thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Mini. We're glad to hear that you're finding it as a great device, especially with the awesome features you get with the Google Assistant and other hardware features. However, we're sorry to hear about your concern with the touch to pause feature. This feature is actually fully supported on Nest Mini. Other than the volume controls located on the top left and right hand side of the speaker, you can play and pause it by touching the top center of the device.
