Customers are saying

Customers regard the Smart Light Starter Kit with Google Assistant very favorably, particularly praising its ease of use, Google Assistant integration, and surprisingly good sound quality for its size. Many also appreciate the affordable price and the simple setup process. While some users experienced occasional connectivity issues or limitations in range and compatibility with other smart home systems, these concerns were less frequently reported than the positive feedback.

    This product was ok. I like the smart light bulb, but the Google home I thought would be more helpful. I have to repeat to it instructions and sometimes it just doesn’t understand. So not the best or worst product just nothing I would spend on again.

    I haven’t used the google mini very much. I already have Alexa in the living room. I tried google in the bedroom for music but got a little frustrated with it. I was always trying to get the volume at a good level and trying some night routines.

    Too many issues

    I gave this product two stars because the main reason that I got it has not functioned for me to date (I’ve had this item for about a month). The lights have not been discovered to date and it’s not for want of trying, so I can’t use the smart light feature. The bluetooth keeps randomly disconnecting from my phone which is quite the nuisance. I also don’t like that it’s not portable, so it has to stay plugged in to work. Haven’t been able to sync with Apple Music even after downloading the google assistant. The only plus is probably the aesthetics which obviously means nothing since it wasn’t bought as decor.

    Ok so the Google home mini is absolutely worth it. I use it all the time and it makes my life so much easier. The light was incredible while it worked. But it only lasted a couple weeks. Get the google home mini and skip the light.

    Bought for two of my kids. My son returned his and said it wasn’t worth it. My daughter loves it but I think the novelty wore off and she barely uses it. Sound isn’t bad but there can be WiFi connection issues.

    The lightbulbs constantly disconnect from the app. They are unresponsive quite often. Actually kind of a headache... Wouldn’t recommend these light bulbs at all

    It works for some people, not for me. I prefer Alexa ( echo dots ) these google assistants aren’t as smart as they should be, had a hard time managing smart devices at home with this

    Only problem I have with this. The lights aren't bright enough to what I'm used to. I wish they came in the 6000k light range he's going to put off more of that yellow orange color. Other than that they're great

    If you find yourself using other smart products like VeSync you'll have to ask google a few times to get it to do what you want each time. Other than that, this is a great product that you'll he using each day.

    Intrigued by price, disappointed by bulb

    I am an ALEXA user and I wanted to try a Google assistant to compare. This review is not on that - it is the set that I received when purchasing this - the C-Life Light bulb - is smart - can be connected - but only has white lights. I personally see no value in just white lights when you can get the same price bulb with thousands of RGB colors. The app was boring. The google mini on the other hand is great and perfect and I am still comparing the two to see my final choice on assistants. I might just have two for need in the moment. We shall see.

    Was really disappointed with the lightbulb. It stopped working a day after I purchased it. Tried to reconnect and would not do it. Tried it on several lamps before giving up, NOT WORTH IT!!

    The assistant works great but the light bulbs were extremely flakey, constantly becoming out of sync with the system and needing to be reset. Resetting is a huge pain.
