I was able to pair everything with ease and no hassle. Great value for only $29, definitely will be buying more google smart home products. The speaker for the home mini is good but not great compared to Bose or Beats but it’s understandable since it is cheaper.

I really like the seamless setup this kit offers between google home mini & smart lightbulb. I have pirchased additional C by GE bulbs and the pairing was not quite as easy-breezy. The most irritating part, is when the light goes "offline" (typically after being turned off manually)

My Google home in my bedroom wakes me up, gives me the weather report and the latest news. And it turns on the lamp in my bedroom.
One recommendation, install the light bulb in the lamp you choose before you add your new Google Home buddy in the Google Home app.

You simply plug in both devices and they are ready to pair and operate! The voice control is a great convenience. The smart light is a good start to a smart home. The reset process for the light bulb is a bit atrocious...you have to turn off and on for 8 seconds and 2 seconds repeatedly for about 5 times. I hope I don’t have to do it again.

I've bought this combo a few times.
This is priced right, but is a great deal when on sale.
Both the Google mini GE bulb are easy to set up.
The bulb itself is a bit finicky at times. The process to do a hard reset is annoying but doable.

The price was terrific. This was my 2nd mini and 1st smart bulb. The bulb was as easy as it gets, screw it into the lamp, log onto google home app and and I control it with my phone or my voice thru the mini. Have purchased 3 other bulbs.

I started to think to change lights in my house to smart lights, but I thought buying only smart lights is enough we should have hub too. This kit make it easy without any smart hub to connect light to voice assistant. Very much impressed

Turn lights on and off, adjust the brightness from anywhere through the Google Home app. Just tell the Google Mini what you want it to do with the lights and it does it. Was easy to setup. It is fun and easy to use.

I love asking google to turn on and off my light or dim/brighten it a certain percentage. There are so many things this smart speaker can do besides operate the light though, such as give you the weather, tell you the time, set alarms, reminders and timers. Also you can ask google lots of questions and most of the time it finds the answers. also I love requesting certain songs to be played. As well I love that it plays certain sounds like rain or other soothing sounds to sleep with. Lots of other sounds too and features im not thinking about right now.

Great starter kit if you want to get smart. I have several of these and they are more than just turning a lamp off and on. Play your favorite song or answer your questions.

The C-Life smart bulb integrates perfectly with Google Home & Goole Assistant. Install was absolutely trouble-free - I screwed in the bulb, turned on the light switch, and went to the Google Home app. It was waiting at the top of the screen to set it up. Took me less than 5 minutes from opening up the package to 'talking' to the bulb.
Another nice thing is that it 'recovers' quickly if someone hits the light switch instead of going through Google Assistant. If the switch is turned off, when it's turned back on, it takes about 30 seconds to re-sync. And it does it automatically.

This was a great purchase as an alarm and speaker for the bed room. No need to turn my desktop on for music anymore since it can connect to spotify. Im not very tech savvy so connecting it was a breeze. Downside is that the wifi connection on it isnt the greatest so it disconnects sometimes.

Bought this for my daughter. She LOVES it. She can listen to music or control the light in her room by just talking. Google Mini also will tell her jokes, give her the weather, and set reminders.

Love getting this item as a gift for people, since we use our google home all the time with our hue lights. It’s a great starter home kit that won’t break the bank.
