Product reviewsGoogle Home Hands-Free Voice Commands Assistant Smart Speaker - White

Good features but only OK sound

I bought the Home because I already have the Home Mini but wanted better sound from it...
It is very slightly better - base notes are improved but it cannot handle a beat at all - it sounds like someone slapping wet leather!
The skills don't match Alexa in terms of pure numbers but the smart features get better all the time and it understands conversational English better than Alexa. Read full review...

Fun device but voice recognition poor therefore not what it says on the tin!!

Does most of the things advertised. V frustrated with voice recognition. If I want to create or add to a list or create calender entries and reminders the device more often than not states it does not recognise voice so cannot create calender entry for instance. It works sometimes so you may be able to create a reminder but then when you go back a few minutes later you cannot change it as it now CANNOT Verify my voice and suggests updating it on my Google home app kwhich I have to continuously do. Very very bad weakness.. And yes I make a point of speaking in a regular fashion. This really undermines the full functionality of the device. Google really need to fix this Read full review...

No regrets purchasing my Google hub. Would recommend . Set it up and enjoy

I was bought a google home mini as a present . I got to like it for various reasons. I then purchased the google home hub for the kitchen liked that too. I thought I might as well complete the trio with the google home. Absolutely brilliant. sound quality is the best of the three. Would recommend especially if you like music. The sound is superb, Its a lot richer than the mini and the hub. You can also ask it Questions which it will answer. You can have fun with it ask it to tell you a joke usually corny but fun. If you say to it thankyou google it will say something like you are welcome. You can use it as an alarm and various other things .Easy to set up all you need is an android telephone and an internet connection. I listen to music all day on it sound is greatRead full review...

Google Home Smart Speaker and Home Assistant

What a brilliant piece of kit, easy to set up and use. I was looking out for a bluetooth speaker for my laptop music streaming and this certainly fits the bill, brilliant bass sound and quality with no vibration and I have never had it above half volume for nearby listening. But that's only part of it ask Google for the news, weather, jokes, quiz, translation, alarm clock, shopping list, currency exchange just to mention a few and not forgetting accessing a smart home appliances suitable adapted. With one wire to mains supply it sits on the corner of the desk and looks really smart with voice activation or finger tip volume and pause control on the top of the unit. Connects to a Google account on laptops, mobiles and tablets via casting. Read full review...

Great Speaker - Great Home Assistant!

Couldn't be happier with Google home.
Works well with Phillips HUE bridge and wireless lights.
Sync with multiple accounts and voice distinction is brilliant.

Boredom / Google Speaker/ no fingers/ can’t type?

Unless one has a vast house and matching family who don’t talk to each other and have a multiplicity of speakers in every room it no different from Google on an iPad.
Limited phrases work and the depth of information is difficult to get verbally. It’s much quicker to read.Read full review...

Connections

I like it because I can get quick information whenever I want like the weather or cooking times. I really find the routines useful as I can set a combination of things to happen with just one word. I got wireless plugs and they work greatly with the Google Home. I can add the plugs in whatever routines so that it works for whatever reason. The price is worth it but the only downside is that you can't change lights to different colours. Other than that I like Google Home.Read full review...

Greatest Music Auto Speaker Music Speaker System

Took a little time to set up, but the result is amazing, just using "spotify " free music etc at this moment. But add all the other features, i.e. Alarm clock, dictionary system local weather forecast is just the start. Its the best piece of Hi-Fi Equipment in one package, we'll worth every penny. Have now purchases 2 !!!!Read full review...

Google Home

Google home is extremely easy to set up and use. I have it in my home office and it is really useful for streaming music, getting news and general information.

It should develop and get better as time goes by.

I bought this at the reduced price during black Friday but at full price I think the sound quality should be a little better, it's by no means poor and fine for background music.Read full review...

did not realise it would be such fun!

Very smart looking unit. easy to set up with the 'google home' 'app'. integrates very well with my chromecast hdmi dongle and my chrome cast audio dongle.
"hey google play 'album name' on 'lounge'" or "... on 'kitchen'" - it's like living in the future.
My next set of home electrics (lights, thermostats etc) will have to be 'home' compatible.
getting better all the time as it integrates with your google services. To maximise the benefits, I would say you need to be a keen google user and have "taken the google shilling".
I might get another one to sit on the landing so I can here my music better in the bathroom!
google play video and youtube need to be better integrated. hence 4/5 - it's not 5/5 yet.Read full review...
