Plus Points: This saves time getting out your mobile phone, tablet or computer for quick search results. Getting details of my day, by saying Good Morning is wonderful. I've not used it with smart lights but that's an extra benefit. The usage will increase with time. Improvements: Linking to Chromecast is wonderful. Would suggest Google link up YouTube playlists to the Home so it plays them straight to the Chromecast. One feature with Spotify if you are on a basic account, skipping song (forward or back) is not available. I don't need Spotify premium for all the family. Con: Voice Recognition is poor. It thinks my friends are me. More work needed on this part.

I'm a technical person who usually don't buy thing unless I'm 100% sure it is what I want\ need. Before purchasing it I've just took 10EUR Bluetooth car kit and connected it to an old phone and start playing with the google assistant and it was fun, I could play an music from you tube just by pressing one button on my BT car kit and asking to play something. Making a long story short, I thought it it would be a nice idea to replace this "hack" with a real device such as this I also read some articles about it and i knew that there might be some limitation in some countries, little did i knew that it was engineered not to work unless I have premium YouTube or spottily account , simply put: THEY'VE CRIPPLED THE DEVICE AND FORCED YOU TO PAY FOR YOUTUBE AND SPOTIFFY IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC, AND WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU SO WITH THIS "THING" ASK FOR THE WHETHER FORECAST???Read full review

The Google Home Mini is a great smart speaker if you're looking for it to do all the basic things like reminders, play music, alarms, news, weather and more. The Google Home Mini is also very smart and responsive to any questions you have for it. The only Con is that the sound quality is not as good as the Amazon Echo Dot and the Amazon Echo Dot also has a lot of expansions to allow it to do more than the Google Home Mini. Other than this, it a great all-round smart speaker that works reliably and does what it needs too as well.

Started out as a novelty purchase but now I find myself looking for other things I can purchase to control with my voice.. so far only lights speakers and tv.. also getting used to asking questions instead of googling it.. it’s the gadget you never knew you needed.. you need to by chrome cast to switch your tv and change channels if you haven’t got a brand new tv.. all in all worth £18 to upgrade your home a little bit.. would recommend

This is truly a beautifully made item and very versatile. I can use it alone or voice activate my chrome cast and chrome cast audio. It is really fun to use and even can connect to a Bluetooth speaker and broadcast to both that and a chrome cast outing the audio through the Bluetooth to a speaker (if you are unlucky enough to have a tv with no audio jacks (SPDIF or headphones). It’s sound quality is not too bad considering that it’s just a mono speaker built in. It also connects to your smartphone and works well as a speakerphone; being able to access your phone contacts and phone spoken numbers. I have an Alexa but this thing beats it hands down in my opinion. Alexa is limited when you see this baby working and proves to be a poor cousin by comparison. I got 3 of these items. For example, I can turn off the video/music for my chrome cast in another room such as the living room (if I go upstairs to watch or listen and have left it on). This is well worth the hard earned bucks and I am as happy as a Cheshire Cat. I got my ones for about 20 quid each which is a compete steal considering that even the usual price of £49 is a complete steal as it is; considering what it can do. If you want add free music and YouTube music you ge a free month trial.Read full review

I have a number of Google mini's and Google Home's - great tech if you like this sought of stuff. I prefer Google to Alexa, as I find Amazon's user interface a bit monotone and less engaging. They are very easy and quick to set up. If you want more of a smart speaker with good sound then opt for the Google Home; great sound and bass although its not the loudest. I have a number of smart power outlets and Chromecast dongles - all work faultlessly with Google. Once you get started there are plenty of things you can control from your arm chair. You can also play games, listen to music (not Amazon music), listen to radio, set alarms/timers, ask joke of the day, news updates, ask all sorts of questions. Good fun!!

The google home mini is a great little smart speaker. I'm using mine in the kitchen as a web radio most of the time. Sounds good enough for that, and useful for news/recipes/timers etc. I have both the google home mini devices and amazon echo equivalent. I must say the voice recognition is much better on the google devicse than the amazon ones. It also responds better when it's playing, which is important if you want to change volume or stop it playing.
