    These things are excellent! The voice clarity when they speak to you is far superior to Alexa devices. Music is top quality. We have six of these in our house and two in our campground trailer.

    I got this to put on my bedroom to go along with my Google Home hub. Can change thermostat from it an make sure my doors are locked . Recently found I can also ask it to play calming sounds (Ocean waves, Rain) to fall asleep too!

    I have both the Google Mini and Echo Dots in my house. Sound quality and function are very similar. The Google Mini does a better job of answering those questions "that have been bugging you all day." I prefer the Echo Dot for linking to Amazon music and such. If you want a smart home device for questions though, the Google is the way to go.

    This is my (5th) Mini, and I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys talking to open air, or saying thank you to a mini computer. Either way, it nice and convenient to have Google turn on a light when your hands a tied up with groceries.

    It’s almost a required speaker in every room. My family loves it and it’s very easy to use. Recommend getting used to the free radio stations like KUSC or Kjazz

    Purchase a second for the bedroom and it works great. My son made me watch the SNL Alexa skit so I would know how to behave. I am getting better at phrasing, well, “I don’t know about that!”

    This is a convenient little device to ask questions to, set alarms, and play music. The sound quality is decent enough for such a small device. I have the 1st generation as well and don't really notice a difference.

    I wasn't going to bother switching from my first gen home minis, but these were on sale when I bought them and they're fantastic. The speaker is louder with better bass and higher sound quality. An upgrade all around.

    I love this Nest Mini for simply letting me listen to music, set timers when cooking, and asking about the weather. Google Assistant is better than Alexa or Siri from my experience. For the price, it is a no brainer.

    My Nest doorbell wasn’t compatible with my doorbell chime, so I bought this Nest mini to act as my doorbell chime. It not only dings but also announces that someone is at the front door. I also use it as an audio Google assistant.

    I got a Google Home Base a couple years ago for Xmas and it came with a round mini.... I found that I liked the home base in the living area, and the round mini was put in the bedroom. This round mini is destined for our camper!

    Its design is modest and neutral, and one of the few smart home gadgets that can effectively disappear on a shelf or kitchen counter like a colorful knick-knack. Primarily, it’s a smart speaker, so it will play music and podcasts, set timers and alarms, read the news or information from the web, provide a rundown of your day’s schedule and appointments, give you traffic updates and even tell you the weather forecasts, all with voice control. You link your Google Account and voice to your speaker and it will recognize your voice. I’ll get up in the morning and say, “Hey, Google, Good Morning, and “she” answers, “Good Morning, Donna,” then tells me the temperature, traffic update, the latest news, and then plays music, all while I’m getting ready for my day. You can make phone calls, send texts, and even check your emails, all with your voice. One of my favorite things I did was to set it up so at 9 pm daily, “she” comes on and announces my husband’s nickname from me and tells him, “I Love You,” from the nickname he calls me, then it plays our song. (Kinda sickening, I know.) It’s just fun to have. I say, “Hey Google, tell me my reminders, and “she” does. It’s wonderful for cooking because when you place something in the oven all you have to do it say, “Hey, Google, set timer for 20 minutes” and it’s done. We have it hooked up to Spotify and we are always requesting our favorite songs to play or request our playlist to play. Also, it’s set up to our video doorbell so we can answer our door through the Nest. We are in the process of buying a Chromecast so we can cast the video doorbell to our TV. There is so much more I’m not even touching, but this review would be so much longer. If you want a powerful, fast, and attractive smart speaker for an affordable price, you won’t be disappointed with the Nest Mini.
