Dumbed down compared with previous versions, misses lots of commands.
Voice recognition worked FAR BETTER in the older Google Home products. It could even figure out mumbled, broken English. This new one struggles permanently, usually performing the wrong task (like play a radio station, 7 out of 10 it will miss the spelling of the sender call, as if it were the most mysterious thing, which the old did perfectly ). Most frequent answer to my questions "sorry I don't understand".
I have been on the competing product Alexa, which now turns to be better despite my initial impression on the contrary. Switched back to Google longing for the times of a very good dialog feature. Now, I am very disappointed.
Design and construction quality are good, also sound is solid for the size.
