    I have turned off the microphone. Only use for speaker to cast XM radio in my kitchen. Put it on top of my refrigerator and it's a nice sound for that area.

    This is a neat device that serves not only as a speaker, but as an assistant. Ask conversions, the news, weather, and more!

    I got this to compare to Alexa, and after several months I have to say I find Alexa to be more user friendly. Example, the wife likes to sleep with music playing, so she's got this playlist she built on Youtube, we try to get the Google Nest to play it and it's like pulling teeth. Imagine you say "OK Google, play George Straight, all my Ex's live in Texas" and the Nest replies "OK Playing "Die M-Fer Die, by Willie D of the Geto Boyz"... or vice versa. That's the kind of matching we get, Ask for it to play something and you have to be like "Play X song, By X artist, from X album, released X day, on Youtube/or whatever music service" any less specific and the Nest just seems to be like "Hey man that's great and All, but I'm going to play what I want to listen to, buckle up!.

    I do really love my google assistant. I use it every day and have so many smart home items now. It's pretty easy to add new devices to the app so they can be turned on with voice commands. have a couple of critiques that I wish could be improved. It has a hard time recognizing everyone in the families voice. There is no way to turn off a timer by voice command. You can set one and check on the progress, but you can't say "Hey google mute the timer" or anything.

    I didn't think that I would use this. It came free with my Nest. Now, I use it to tell me the weather, call people, control my Nest and other tasks.

    Great product, I just wish the charcoal nest mini came with a charcoal cable instead of a white one. The sound is of higher quality than our original big google home! We put a couple around the house to work with our hue lights.
