So originally I bought a amazon echo dot 3rd gen. And was almost immediately disappointed with it. It told me I needed a membership to listen to music, which also sounded horrible on the echo. It couldn't respond to 90% of things I asked if. So I decided to try out google mini and wow am I impressed, the sound quality alone is 10 times better on this than the echo dot. Google can actually search the web for answers they don't know. And music seems to be free but I'm not sure since I have a premium membership through YouTube already. If youre in between which to get get googles. The smart light was alright but I only used it for a few days before I switched to lifx bulbs.

Technology such as this makes us more efficient. We can focus on other things while this device takes a load off us. I love not having to switch the lights off or on with my wet hands or hands full of groceries. I love to hear this device read the morning news to me while am getting ready for work. I love it reading the bible for me!

Great device to controlled all my google assistant compatible lights and speakers. Love that it has a mute switch for privacy even though we haven’t used that feature.

You get the best of 2 smart home devices in one small bundle. This is the perfect gift for those that want to start getting into a smart home environment. Google home reviews are very positive overall when compared to some of the other competitors. The small speaker really has a good overall sound when playing back music. Being able to sync other Google Home devices to play music in unison is also a big plus for me when I am hosting parties. The Google Home app on android is very user friendly. The light bulb itself is very easy to install with Google Home. Being able to dim the light is a benefit that some other smart bulbs lack. Since I have such a large living room space, this one bulb does not get bright enough and thus I may need to pickup one or even 2 more bulbs in order to have enough lighting for my convenience. You can't go wrong with this starter kit.

This was my second one and the two sync together with no problem. I go to either to stream music and get the weather just by asking Google. The jokes it tells sometimes can make your day.
