    The secong gen minis sound much better than the first gen. I have two of these, as well as a first gen, and a Hub and Hub Max. They all work great. I control everything with voice commands, from my lights, to my home theater, to my Roomba. At first I was against smart speakers, now I'm trying to turn the lights on in the garage and a work with my voice.

    The sound quality is better than expected at this size and price (black friday sales!), and I have been using this for automating lights upstairs. I am very impressed with the built-in microphone understanding me clearly, and even my very young kids. Great for voice commands on bulbs, rgb bulbs, music, and random facts.

    I recently purchased a new Nest mini to replace my older home minis simply for the better speaker quality. It was a great purchase and always will recommend these over the home mini even at full price. I also love the wall mount feature more than I thought I would. I paired 2 together and have a mini surround sound setup near my bed on a wall mount. It is fantastic!

    This is my third speaker. Bought it for our covered patio, even though it's not listed for outdoor use the price is so low that if it lasts a couple years it'll be worth it.

    This is a fun little gadget! If you pair it with a variety of other "smart" items, you can have a pretty lazy life! It will turn on lights, it will lock doors, it will play music, it will set alarms. As I say, you need to buy the OTHER smart things to do all this, but it's very convenient. It also plays music on command, and occasionally it picks up something from TV that causes it to randomly blurt out information you didn't even want. That's always worth a laugh!

    The Nest is my first foray into setting up a smart home, and it was incredibly easy to do so. Just download the app and it practically sets itself up. Linking it to a pair of Kasa smart plugs took but a moment, and now I can say "Hey Google, turn off the lights" to kill all the lights in the house with my voice! I'm excited to see what else I can do with this device.

    Purchased to replace Amazon devices. Definitely an improvement. If you pair two of these together for music they actually sound good for what they are. Problems with pairing them. 1 - one of the units becomes the control unit and the other unit doesn't listen to your voice. so you will lose some functionality. 2 - the second unit sometimes doesn't keep sync with the primary unit. A jack for music output would be nice but I guess that is to old fashioned for Google.

    Much better than Amazon products, unfortunately, I have a small fortune invested in Amazon stuff (Amazon Echos (2), Dots (6) . . . oops, make that 5 as one had to be thrown in the trash --- broke after the warranty period ran out). The product is clearer, faster, and knows so much more than any of the Amazon products. Oh, well . . .

    I'm genuinely impressed with this Nest Mini smart speaker ... I actually own the original Google mini smart speaker and although there's not much of a difference between the two if I were going to purchase one the Nest Mini would be my choice. It sounds better and in my opinion seems to be a bit quicker than the original Google Mini.

    This was on sale and we wanted to compare it to the apple home mini. It has the same sound quality and we love it! We took back the apple home mini and bought another google home mini for another room in the house as well!

    Since I love my Google Nest Mini so much, I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend because I wanted them to experience how awesome having a Google Nest Mini in your home is. As I expected...they love 'talking to Google"!
