Google Home Mini (Gen. 1)

The google home mini is amazing in so many ways. We use these as Bluetooth speakers for iPads in our child care center and they worry out great! We do a lot of story time and music time with these.

After Mom and Dad have read 30 books total trying to get the kids down during stay at home orders we ask Google Mini to read books that we downloaded to google. Our family is happy with this product and would tell anyone to put their money into it.

My mom love it its good nice they give her the Frozen 2 book with it. She didn't buy the kid one they just give her the Frozen 2 book

Its nice turning off lights from another room. Or simply giving a command to play music when you're searching through documents. I love it!

My son loves it. He is autistic and love being able to ask question all on his own as well asisten to music.

I don't know how we lived without it! My father cannot see or hear very well and this is a companion for him. He can turn up the volume load enough to hear. He says good morning to it everyday and Google responds pleasantly with the time, weather and lastest news. He and my Mom listen to Lawrence Well and big band music. My mother even got up and danced once to 1940's dance music and she's 91! It's truly been a blessing.

I was nervous getting this because of the price point but I'm sooooooo glad I did!!!! I have had so many issues with the Google assistant on my phone understanding what I'm saying that I was nervous this would have the same problem....it doesn't! It picks up my voice right away even from another room and understands exactly what I'm saying, the first time I say it!!! My son absolutely loves the read along with disney option even though the only book we have is frozen 2. I will be getting more for the rest of the house!!! :)

It is a very nice item. Sometimes it do not hear very well. And you must have tht google home and YouTube app. It must stay plugged in at all times and on Wifi. I love it.

Small footprint ... nice long electric cord ... This is our 2nd one and we enjoy it as we have subscribed to a music service. The reason for 4 not 5 stars is, as is with all these type of devices, the microphone can be used for "them" to listen in ... paranoia, maybe, but its true. Unplug unit if you want real privacy ...

I bought this for my mother. Sorry but Alexa is easier. I gave it away. And I could have pretended I never got it. I live on 11 acres and my last 2 packages were left way out at the highway which they have never done before. The Google mini sat out at the road for 2 days with rain. When I found it and picked up the box, it fell apart. To bad you don't take pictures of the delivery like Amazon does. I've ordered for a long time from Walmart but no more.
