Google Home Hub

I got the Google Home Hub for my birthday in February and have not stopped raving about it!
I got it to have in my kitchen for a couple of primary reasons: to display photos, stream music (Spotify, radio, YouTube), and for recipes and cooking. I have to honesty say it has exceeded my expectations on all those fronts.
It was quick to set up and link my photos (I have a dedicated album for all the ones I want displayed) and it’s so nice to see those memories everyday!
The radio wasn’t something I realised I missed until I started listening to it...

It is in my kitchen, I watch videos while I cook ask it for recipe measurements alarms cooking time etc. I have a "connect house" With other google products i can change my daughters tv turn on light if you have cameras you can look at them it is essential for a home in my opinion.

I have 2 if these, one has developed both horizontal and vertical lines on the display which means it can’t be used as a photo frame. Googles answer - bad luck, out of warranty.

Seems they are a 12 month throw away item. Buy something more long lasting is my advice.

Highly problematic product that continuously fails to maintain a stable network connection, even on 5g. When it drops out you are required to go back through the setup again, which in itself is completely opaque and offers very little in the way of troubleshooting guides. I run both Google and Amazon products in different zones and the Hub is almost useless as its down all the time. It looks good, seems faster than the Amazon and has a nice voice interface but frankly, it is far too flakey for me to consider any expansion or upgrade.

Since about one year, I have the entire house linked up with the top of the range Google Max and other Google Home devices. My intention to be always on the forefront in technology was good and I purchased all my items from JB Hi-Fi. The service at JB Hi-Fi was as always very good.
Nevertheless, Google Home is at best considering my experiences to be described as "experimental". If it works, and it does at times, it is working fine, but many times it does not do anything and will not follow my embedded voice. Often I have to repeat myself seve...

If you can get over the privacy concerns over using this device, its a useful little thing - kind of like a swiss army knife but for the kitchen. Besides all the benefits of hooking it up to a smart home set up (controlling tv and lights and all your other gadgets) it has many, many benefits.

When we first bought it my wife was rolling her eyes telling me telling me off for wasting money on this toy. But after a few months of using it, we can't do without it.

The feature that gets used the most in our household is the timer. You can tell Goog...

Last year I was stuck for ideas for the wife for her birthday, I looked at a few things and ended up buying the Google Home Nest and a chromecast as I thought it would be something interesting. She opened it and it was lukewarm, it got hooked up and it was just something to toy around with in the kitchen for a while. It played YouTube, music, answered some questions, told jokes etc so I thought I would add a light to it, well we haven't really stopped since then. Let's say that our house now is pretty much controlled or able to be controlled by...

I bought this to sit on top of a coffee machine in my kitchen and what a useful addition it has been. Everything from displaying the time, watching/listening to youtube music videos and food recipes, to displaying my photos functions very well, especially for the bargain basement price! Love it!

I have hundreds of photos on Google Photos and it's great to have them displayed on the Home Hub. It has a good quality speaker which is plenty loud to fill a living room. It functions OK as a smart assistant.

This is not the loudest smart speaker, nor does it have the largest screen, but at its price point it is just right. You can pay more if you want louder or larger, but for me it is not too large to be obnoxious whilst still being large enough to read without glasses. As for audio volume, well I have an audio system for that - this is just for issuing instructions / asking questions to.

Some reviews have indicated that the WiFi capability of this device is lacking, but I have never experienced that.

One problem that I do agree with is that the...

Does what it says on the box. Nice photo frame and clock face. Entertains the kids when needed. Speaker could be better but that’s what the Max model is for.

tried to install hub, no instructions given except on phone which are no existent. no help information. would not ever purchase again will be looking for a refund from supplier

Responds quickly to voice commands.
Excellent photo frame and Google photo integration.
Pairs with bluetooth speakers.
Would give 5 stars if the wall plug fitted properly in a twin wall socket. Whoever designed the plug didnt do proper research. Epic fail.

The speaker is alright and the screen size isn't too big or small. I like that the clock dims at night and it doesn't light up the room. My only issue with this is that I can't select the music I wish to listen to unless I ask Google to do it

We have used our google home hub for 12 months now and love it.
Pay for a google music subsricption and get any music at your feet.
We use it daily to set timers, alarms, ask the weather, watch you tube.... Everything. We love it. We don't have any of the other start devices, but will get some lights soon.
