    Google Nest Mini

    We ordered our second Google Nest Mini and found that we can sync both so that they are playing the same stuff. We are mostly playing Pandora stations but also radio stations from classical to folk. The nice thing is that the radio stations are free from static and stations from outside the local reception area can also be played.

    I am selling my alexa systems - dots, shows, echos, all generations if anyone is interested in a good deal (hahaha). So this thing recognizes my voice so well compare to alexa where I have to say the same thing over and over again. Easy to set up, the sound is actually really good for such a little thing. My coffee go to with a “good morning google” - try it you’ll see what I mean.

    This thing simplified my life. Get weather info or any other question you have, controls your AC, smart plugs etc., plays music. When I leave my house I just say I'm leaving and it runs a routine that turns of AC and some small appliances. When come back it turns then on. You can do much more other things with this small helper. Love it.

    This is my first smart speaker and it has worked very well for me so far. It was easy to set up and start using right away. I use it almost exclusively to listen to Pandora while I work in the kitchen. I'm not an audiophile but the sound quality has been more than adequate for my needs, especially at this price point. I may purchase more for other rooms of the house.

    Good Speaker for The Price

    The speakers on this thing are way better then the Google Nest Hubs I have. Neither produces 'studio quality' sound, but this mini is actually bearable especially for the price. The hub (first gen) which is significantly larger, and more expensive, sounds way too tinny. We use these for smart home automation, so they are a staple.

    Great product. I have 6 others and one had finally failed and needed to replace it. These are great for broadcasting in the house, playing music, asking for weather updates, turning on and off the lights in the house, and adjusting the temp in the house as well. Would recommend to any one wanting to get that smart home set up.

    We added this to the devices we already have and placed it in the bathroom. We had to turn the wake word sensitivity up to accommodate our shower concerts, but being notified when the doorbell rings, broadcasting that we need more tissue, turning on the coffee pot while brushing our teeth, and a slew of other nice things we can get done make this a welcome addition to our house.

    I use these all over my apartment to control lights, fans, TV, etc. They're very useful, even though Google has kinda been slowing down the cloud processing used in these guys, i still like them. They're also pretty nice to use to listen to my music around the house!

    I am happy with my purchase but i don't really notice any difference. There are lit spots when you tap on it so that you can tell where to tap for sound volumne. I don't really notice a difference in the sound. I'm just as happy with the sound on gen 1. I decided to get the 2nd gen because i expect that gen 1 might stop getting upgrades. Figured I'd start switching. I have 3 gen1 mini's.

    Google Is Much Better Than Alexa!

    After using Alexa for years prior, I’m so glad I finally switched to Google. We recently purchase a Google TV, so it just made sense to switch everything over. Along with Google home, the set up was so easy and we bought multiple speakers so each level out of home is seamlessly connected. Google makes the best products!

    The Nest Mini integrates perfectly with the rest of my Google Home devices. Of course, the sound quality doesn't live up to a high end speaker. But, it serves its purpose well enough. It's fine for listening to music in the kitchen while cooking. Voice recognition has been great, and the convenience of having a Google Assistant device always at the ready is unbeatable.

    Works great! I have 2 mini nests and 1 nest. Have them all connected and with play together. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because sometimes they disconnect from the WiFi. Not sure if that is a fault in the product or in my WiFi. I know I have issues sometimes, but can not be sure
