Good but irritates alot
Very easy to use, just say something and 80% matches your voice and plays on TV. Specially good with newborns n toddlers n you don't have free hand to put music or tv while feeding baby so you get a help specially in countries like australia/America where you are all by urself. But cons are it goes mad somedays , doesnt listen anything properly and i get tired speaking. Otherwise its a must buy.. Google stop irritating

Worth $0.
Always pushes google products even though I’ve paid for others.
Eg never plays Spotify even though I’ve set it as my default music player - always selects YouTube music then asks me to upgrade to premium.
Pretty disappointed that this is even allowed - it should be made clear to consumers that this is not a bipartisan product.

Hey Google, you only get 4 stars
It does what it should but I don't like how it tries to push Google Assistant with everything. I know you're collecting data on everything I say but give me the option to opt-out easily.

Excellent product
Unique product. Nice and compact. The voice recognition is very advanced and responsive. Good for controlling smart devices like WIFI plugs etc . It loses one star as I am a bit uncomfortable that it stores all my voice commands and searches, breach of privacy I think. I hope it is not listening when it is OFF!!

Decent - but not worth Money
Not much use for this product besides it's voice commands. This gadget acts as a speaker and weather boy - but that is about it. There is not much else to it and after a few months there is a high possibility you will grow out of it, and it will just sit there collecting dust!

Great value! Not to be afraid of smart technology!
Recently installed my mini. I absolutely love the morning routine. It plays the weather, news and then music on Spotify (free) for me. The quality of sound and microphone both work really well. Great value as well. I would rather spend money on Mini then any other speaker.

Morning routine gadget
This gadget works like a news caster everyday once you greet her. It will give you the things you need based on your preferences and settings of your account. This Google Nest is very attentive once you started asking question. The speaker performance is great as well as the microphone. Highly recommended and good value for money.

Pretty decent
The volume and sound quality are great, it is a nice compact size so good for taking to work with me. However sometimes it disconnects from my phone in the middle of songs and I have to reconnect a few times.

This is Perfect ! My go to for everything !
I was a bit hesitant to buy the product. But wow, the speaker quality is good and the two-way conversation with google home is seamless. I can ask it to play my NetFlix or Spotify, information about weather and any GK question.

It does the job!
I bought it from JB HiFi because there was a promotion going on I think I saved my money. The device works fine but sometimes it talks randomly without saying "OK Google" or "Hey Google" which is so weird. Sometimes it doesn't pick the voice But it talks to you like real human. I meant to say better than Siri :) I have even connected google mini with wifi light bulbs and they are working great! so I am satisfied!

Terrible product
Bought a home mini off google store in May last year. Worked ok for first few months and then from October started playing up. It would turn off automatically every now and then. Contact google Australia but that has been a nightmare. Countless HOURS on the phone has not got me anywhere. I still have the faulty unit and hasn’t been sorted in last 5 months! Wont recommend a google home specially buying anything from Google directly. Things would have been easier if I bought it from JB HiFi!

Lots of fun
Purchased for my 10 year old son together with a smart lightglobe and he loves it. He uses it to set alarms and play ambient music before he goes to bed. He also enjoys turning lights off with it and annoying his sisters. The only downside is I get sick of hearing Hey Google! Easy to set up and very easy to use.

It's good if you feel like being lazy
The Google home mini is great if you can't find the tv remote so instead you ask Google to turn the tv on or off, it doesn't change the channel though, that would be good if it did. Also good if you need information quickly.

Can’t make calls. Can’t choose songs
Google Home is advertised that it allows you to make hands free calls. We tried to set this up in Google Home. Turns out this only works if you have a Telstra mobile number.
Tried to play a particular song, like advertised, and it says you need YouTube Music account to do that.
OK Google, so you want me to pay an extra $70 per month to use this $40 toy. Thanks Google.

When it works its great, but.....
As a smart speaker alone it's pretty decent product. The sound quality is not bad for something at this size and price point. Where it has issue is its bluetooth connectivity. When I use it as a bluetooth speaker with my laptop, it will regularly drop its connection with my laptop. Sometimes it will be fine for a few hours, other times it will just drop within minutes. If you search the google support forums, you will find that its a common issue/flaw that they know about, but have yet to find a way to solving it even after all this time.

Google Home Mini trumps Echo Dot as voice assistant with some draw backs
Recently added Echo Dot and Echo Input to my home on top of the Google Home Mini that I already have for quite a while. Armed with first hand experience of both eco-system here is a little comparison:
For Google Home Mini
* Search - much better search capability thanks to Google.
* Voice command - not as rigid as Echo Dot, understand commands better. When I say, "Turn off everything." Echo Dot tells me she can't find a device called Everything. Face-palm!
* Dialog - sounds more natural.
* Radio - more channels are supported.
For Echo Dot
* Sound quality - more bass and louder, but vocal sounds muddier than Google Home Mini....Read more

Let's be honest, this product is useless....
It is an egg timer. That's all.
Well over 80% of my inquiries lead to the most common response you will get - "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that, but I'm still learning...."
B.S. It is not learning. It is spying at best. And that part I don't even mind if it actually learned something from all that spying!
This device is about 10 years too early to market. It's a voice activated alarm clock and timer. That's all. Anything else it does is so mundane it lowers your IQ after listening to it.
Do yourself a favor and purchase this device after version 10.0 has been released. Right now, it's just a spying paperweight.

Hey Google
When (or if) will you be able to make voice phone calls in Australia as you can in USA/Canada/UK ?
Also, , when (or if) will you be able to voice print the SHOPPING LIST ? It seems there is a way to do so with HP printers however I have a Canon.
Apart from the above I've had my mini for about a month and I seriously like it.
Regards
