Unbeatable

This is my first review here and I chose this because it's my most used and most raved about product. I tell everyone to get this. Philips hue smart lights all over my house RUN THROUGH GOOGLE. Three nest thermostats for my 3 zones in my house RUN THROUGH GOOGLE. The 2 nest hub maxes, 4 nest mini's, 3 nest wifi points, 6 chromecasts all RUN THROUGH GOOGLE. My nest yale locks for my 2 doors, nest home security system with points in every window and door, my nest video doorbell & 4 outdoor cameras all RUN THROUGH GOOGLE. The dozen tp link casa smart plugs I have for everything around the house, the multiple govee light strips behind tvs and furniture all RUN THROUGH GOOGLE. You get the point. When comparing Google to Amazon Alexa I think it's a no brainer. Google is far more user friendly. Google works with everything a lot easier. The routines are amazing. At night instead of walking around my whole house turning everything off, the lights, the tvs, the fan, remembering to lock the door... None of that, just say "shut it down" (or whatever you choose to say) and it does it all for you. In the morning the routines can wake up by a phrase, by sunrise or by time and can play music, then read you the news, then turn on the lights, then make you coffee. Nothing to remember to do everyday. It really does make life so much easier. Hot day and you forgot to turn the Ac's on before you left for work? Don't even trip dawg, just tell Google it's time to go home and it'll turn all that on and give you the estimated time of your commute and then start playing your favorite podcast from where you left off. You can create groups of speakers, so if I tell Google to play Colter Wall downstairs it plays on all 6 downstairs speakers. The things this can do are literally endless. I can't say enough good things about it. If you know your tech especially this is the way to go. Google has become a part of our families everyday life.

Sound quality

Decent smart speaker

For the price this is a great this smart speaker the volume and sound you get from it makes it great for my home office. Seems to pick up saying ok Google from a decent distance. Easy to set up and takes up very little space.

So simple to work even for kids

Links up with phone

Extremely simple to use

I got a Google home mini during a sale, opting for it instead of an Amazon Alexa which most of my family have as we all share one Amazon prime account and so they all constantly compete to listen to music on theirs. So far my Google home mini hasn't let me down. Not only does it link up to my Spotify for when I'm doing the dishes, it's also super handy to set reminders on for my medication, and I particularly like the nighttime feature of nature noises when you tell it "goodnight". And it tells some pretty awesome dad jokes!
