    I had an Google Mini 1st generation and the sound on this 2nd generation is the main difference that I notice since I bought it. The installation is basic the same and very simple by using the Google Home App.

    Hands down. The assistant is smarter. It's easy to set up. The ecosystem is much larger. Buy Google, forget Alexa!

    These speakers are a marked improvement over generation one speakers. Stronger base tones are especially noticeable. Great speakers at a very good price.

    Great product. Sometimes Google doesn't answer the question correctly or understand the question but in general it is fun to use and helpful. I have one in many rooms throughout my home.

    If you had the first generation, this second generation is worth the investing in as it has a crisper sound, larger base, and great response with google assistant. Chalk color matches the google home as well.

    The Google Home mini has lots of range, is adaptive (will speak louder if area is loud) and is faster than on your phone. Better speaker than your phone etc. There are a myriad of reasons to get this.

    Better sounding speaker when compared to the first generation. Google Assistant gives great search results and is very useful if you have other smart home products such as lightbulbs.

    We like to fall asleep to music. For years, we were using an Echo Dot to listen to soft music. However, Echo recently changed its settings, and even the lowest volume setting is too loud. I decided to try the Nest Mini, and thankfully, it has a low volume setting that is perfect for late night music. We use it every night. It works well otherwise also. The voice response is a little slower than Amazon Alexa, but it's not too bad.

    These have been great for listening to music and communicating across the house without yelling. My kids ask it questions when they are curious about things and we don't know and it's settled some arguments as well. It's not perfect at understanding but still very useful.
