Although it's not perfect, I'm very happy with this product. I replace a mini with the hub. I like that it has a display, better sounds, and a hand gesture feature. It takes a little time to get used to the navigation, though. You also cannot download additional apps. Although you can play Spotify and view some of your playlists, you can't download a full Spotify app which is a negative for us. Sirus XM also doesn't work as smoothly. Otherwise, we are very happy with its design, photo album, voice command, hand gesture, etc. It's a must-have for a smart home.

overall, I love the design. bezels could be thinner but it doesn't bother me too much. Speakers are good for a digital assistant and the display resolution is much better than a previous echo show I had. (I upgraded because my echo show started displaying tons of lines across the screen). Im a little worried about burn-in issues with this display as it doesn't refresh and move the time into different places like the show did. OH and sleep sensing is so cool! I haven't compared it with my Apple Watch but it does seem pretty accurate.

The perfect option for managing your smart home devices. Not only do you get the usual Google Assistant functionality, but you get much more! View your cameras, turn on/off your lights, watch YouTube, and so much more! Having a quick glance at the home screen saves me time and effort to check the time, weather, date, and any calendar events. One small downside I’ve encountered is the occasional lag/frame drops when initially switching through different screens. Other than that, everything works great. Find the perfect place for this and start creating the perfect home!

Bought this because it was on sale and had a little extra money. Honestly one of the best things I could have done. Since I bought it I use it all the time and ended up buying the thermostat and minis for all around the house. Bought a second one for my grandmother as she is getting older and she loves it that she can call me on duo.

I knew I would love it because I have two others very similar to it. I bought it only because I wanted to replace a Google speaker that would start talking in the middle of the night and wake me up. I’m very happy with this.

Very user friendly and easy to set up. I have the whole google eco system so I love the ability to see when someone is at the door. It also is a nice addition to my home as I am able to display my photo slide show.

I love the sleep tracking functionality, I also have an Apple Watch but I prefer to charge it at night. I do find that the UI lags sometimes, which is the main reason I won't give it 5 stars. Also, on the odd occasion it accidentally thinks I said Hey Google when I didn't.

Wife loves it she said best purchase we’ve done. We placed it next to her night stand and much easier for all the smart home gadgets to access than going to kitchen to the Google hub max. Easy to set up and super easy to use.

This actually has some great audio to the speakers along with treble and bass. I really enjoy being able to connect it to my Nest Doorbell and use it as a camera and audio to see whats going on. Connecting it to netflix is a strange feature, but ends up being pretty cool when cooking for awhile in the kitchen. Can connect to Apple music which is great! Controls all google home devices too like thermostat and speakers/cameras.

It's cute and I enjoy the fact that it doesn't have a camera. It synced seamlessly and works well with my other devices. It has a decent sound for a bedroom, I wouldn't want to put this in the living room or family room unless you're not using it to play louder music. Overall I debated weather out not I really needed it over just a speaker with better sound but I'm glad I made this purchase

Got this to sit on my desk while I work to easily be able to control my nest thermostat, quickly select which Spotify songs/playlists I want to listen to, etc. Takes up minimal space on my desk. The only bummer (but doesn't warrant a decrease in stars) is that I thought it would link to my Arlo doorbell camera and enable me to see who/what was there, but unfortunately it doesn't.
