Customer Reviews for Google Home Mini Charcoal

I have these all over the place so I can talk to google throughout the day. Even put one in the hallway so I can be greeted by pleasant music when I come and go

Might be good for a child's room, but sound quality is too poor for most music. No speaker jack (only Bluetooth), if you want to connect to a better speaker.

It works great my friend loves it thank you.it arrived the time they said it would.

I love the google home mini I put it in my bedroom very useful for what we need we also have one in our kitchen we’re music lovers!

Picked this up July/19, at my local Home Depot, took it home plugged it in and heard the chime! I was up and running in no time. I also bought a smart bulb and plug to go with it in my home office. The plug hanger is a no clutter extra.

I like my Google home system. This is the 3rd home device I have so that it is available throughout my most used areas in my home. I like them for controlling lights, etc. Strongly recommend the google system.

It's wonderful for school home work

Small, powerful and responsive. This is our second Google Home powered device and it has performed on par with our other full sized device. Simple functions fully hands free operation and decent sound quality. The included cable is a good 6 feet long and more than enough to place in good distance from an outlet. The only drawback to this device is that there is no battery backup to allow for free movement. Connectable to our existing Google, Nest smart device ecosystem with options to set up key phrases to perform operations with other connected devices.

We love our Google Home Mini! Installation was relatively easy, and it paired to our Wink Hub 2.0. Now we control our lights and everything else in our smart home by voice. My kids love it! They have a great time asking Google different questions and asking for lights to be dimmed or the color changed, and Google keeps up pretty well, even though it has only learned my voice. My wife’s voice seems to be the winner, and she can get it to do anything. We use it a lot for timers and alarms—“Hey Google, set a timer for 3 minutes” when someone has earned a time out. “Hey Google, set an alarm for 12:30” when we need to remember to do something then. My kids have asked it to count to one million—Google his smarter than to do the entire thing, but I’ll let you discover its solution on your own. We frequently ask Google to put on music for a dance party. Our idea of a dance party for a bunch of preschool kids is not everyone’s idea for a dance party, and Google sometimes nails it with fun pop music, and sometimes some EDM, and other times it’s totally off for our age range, but it’s always fun none the less. Is the sound great? No, it’s the size of a hockey puck. Is it fine for what we need? Yes, absolutely. And if we need better sound, we just switch over to our home stereo system. Interestingly, Google gets more time than our high end system due to ease of use. This thing reads stories, is always patient, orders stuff, controls lights and alert notifications and helps us convert measurements. We have thoroughly enjoyed our mini.

The features that stand out the most are its quick response to questions and how it is extremely sensitive to sound. It hears me speak from about every room in our house. The only thing I wish it had is the ability to attach it to an external speaker for music. It actually has great sound for such a small object. We have had it since the Holidays. You can't beat this product for pricing and the information that is available on it. The sky is the limit when asking it questions. It's actually great entertainment as well and it definitely meets our expectations.

Totally in love with this product! Bought one for us and one for the grandkids. It was so easy to set up and so much fun! Very small and blends in with surroundings. I was amazed at everything it does! The kids even called and talked to Santa! Fun fun item! You can ask it for a recipe and will even save it for you! Totally impressed. I would definitely recommend this product. Very reasonably priced.

I got mine day one. Having already purchased 2 regular Google home assistants and several Chromecast audio units as well as an Amazon Echo dot. The Mini and the Dot are similar devices performing many of the same functions. I have found that the Mini does everything I would expect and a bit more the music quality is far superior to the Dot with the Mini having a much larger range, although the bass is a bit lacking. Interactions with the Mini are more engaging with the Dot voice being rather mundane. The only thing I found to be a disappointment on the Mini is the lack of a 3.5 mm audio adapter to link to a speaker. You can even make the Mini portable by attaching to a power bank.

Excellent as are all my others

I'm not sure why it took me so long to get a Google home! I'll never go without one. It has changed my life. It turns my lights on and sets appointments in my calendar. Love, love, love it!!

EAsy to connect and is working great.

Looks great and works great!

I have over 10 google devices and have been trying to get help with consistent issues with voice response. No one from near knows anything and has left me with 10 devices that work less than 50% of the time. I highly advise against going with any of googles devices.

Here is what I told them: We changed Internet providers and our Google Home Mini needed to switch to the new network. The task could not be completed in a reasonable length of time. Life is short, time is precious. My decision is to junk the Mini and to switch to Apple products of the same general type. I believe that will get the results I want faster. The purpose of these devices is to conveniently afford various benefits related to information, all of which can be obtained in other ways. If a workaround is better than the original strategy, then of course the original strategy will be abandoned. Finally, regarding your Google Home software products, I think user confusion is your chief obstacle. In many instances, how to proceed is unobvious. Often, simple requests for information lead nowhere, for no clear reason, and with no path forward. If the user learns that every time he says, “Hey, Google,” the result is unsatisfactory, he learns never to use the phrase. He won’t buy more Google equipment, and he won’t recommend it to a friend. My advice is that you spend less time figuring out what to do with the big data you are collecting and more on giving the customer reasons to stay engaged. As matters now stand, your equipment conditions people to dislike it and to avoid it. I imagine that this year your devices will be regifted at record rates.

These are amazing. You can connect to spotify to play music, connect lights or appliances to control them, or just ask about the weather. I got for $25 (holiday sale), and about a year earlier same price (some other sale), so if you are not in a hurry, wait and the pricing will probably be low again.

Awesome !!!! has changed the way we live

Good job love it always do I wonderful job, god bless
