    Sounds much better (strong bass) than the first generation and Alexa dot! Affordable and I own 6 of them to set up surround sound system in the house.

    Can never have enough of these. I can control all my lights, tv's and thermostat. I can even ask Google to remote start my Jeep.

    Much better than first generation. The sound quality, microphone and overall performance is vastly improved. So glad I upgraded during the black Friday sale.

    Great to have the ability to control all our smart home features with this. Google assistant response has been much better than Alexa in my experience so far.

    I really don't have a review so far yet I do like the fact that it's louder than the one on my phone and I prefer Google over android I'm sorry not android but Siri any day

    I love this nest mini. I have it mounted under the cabinet in my kitchen. It is both where I need it and out of the way. The charcoal is very attractive.

    Cool little donut shaped technology. The sound is not the best, but beats the first gen. If not a primary speaker, it will work well for the application.

    It can easily be hidden behind something, so not an eyesore. She's not always the smartest girl in the room, but her Daddy owns the world so she'll be ok.

    Excellent Black Friday deal. Works great with the 1st generation Mini. Google doesn't confuse them with each other when I ask it to turn the lights on/off.

    Better sound than original. Can be mounted on a wall as well. It's a good product but don't update your current original Google home mini. There aren't many reasons to update.

    Have been a fan of the google mini and nest products for years now. Love that these are small enough to go anywhere and produce quality sound dor medium to small rooms. Its also convenient to have the Assistant on board to answer all your questions and perform all your tasks.

    I've purchased a grand total of 6 of these little pucks. It's really nice for streaming music throughout the house or controlling "smart" devices. We just love knowing skynet is listening to our day to day. I always say please and thank you to the machine overlords on the other end of the wiretap. (Seriously though, music seamlessly playing in every room is fantastic).

    Works good enough for what we use it for. It does sync with a few of our smart plugs and other things in our home but we don't use it for much. I see no downside but again we don't use it for all of it's capabilities.

    It was free with the TV

    A very stylish product. It sounds nice, for a single speaker. It appears well made and comes with a convenient way to hang it on a wall, so it does not take up space on a vertical surface. It is Google, so it probably snitches and spies no matter you do to prevent it. I've just used it as a nice bluetooth speaker. I'd give it another star if I trusted it not to spy, even with the voice features disabled and the hardware swicth turned off. Google will always find a way to spy on you. The Company cannot help itself. It is not as nice as my Oontz Angle 3 bluetooth speaker for music, but it was free with my TV purchase, so an excellent value for me. I would not actually pay for this item.
