Great addition to my home
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really do enjoy having this Google Nest Mini in my home. I use it as an alarm so I can keep my phone out of my bedroom while I sleep. I wanted to stop looking at my phone first thing in the morning because it would start my day off to a horrible start. I'm glad the Google home mini doesn't have a screen on it, and it's easy to use. I do wish it would read me my messages. Not sure why it doesn't. Probably need to play around with it more. Other than that it's great and I love it!

Great Smart Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the comparability across all of my devices. It helps me to be more productive by setting reminders directly into my google calendar when I ask it to. It’s loud enough to fill a large bedroom. The only downside is the occasional popping sound if it’s ultrasound sensing mode is on. I turned it off and now have no issue but it’s disappointing that I had to turn off a feature to fix the problem.

mini
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device was so cool that I upgraded it to a speaker. The pro is that it responds better than the speaker; the con is that the volume is too low.

Big bang for little bucks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The newer Nest design is better than the old home. I wish they would have went with a USB-C over a proprietary plug but it's not that big of a deal. The sound is noticeably better over the home mini. https://technicallylifted.com/google-nest-mini

Google Mini System
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Google Mini! I found a plug in holder on Amazon to reduce countertop clutter, however it works to project the sound better too - out instead of up. I put mine in the bathroom because I can change songs and increase the volume without touching the device. From the shower I can choose playlist or podcast so it’s perfect.

The Ziggster no moe!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had and been using amazons alexa "ZIGGY" for months before i purchased this google home. Let me just say, though quite sad... Ziggy has been unplugged since the second day of the introduction of google home.... a much smarter device

Handy features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very inexpensive now, and has good functions available, but I haven't yet hooked it up because I bought and hooked up a Google Nest Hub - which has a screen to let me see and hear things, whereas the Nest Mini is only an audio device. I may hook it up later. What I especially like about these devices is that I can use my Google Voice phone, hands-free, to make telephone calls! Great feature.

Posted .Hi there RebeccaS, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Mini and we’re glad that you find it nice. We’re sorry to hear that it comes on every time there is a Google commercial.
Google Assistant might not activate when you say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google,” particularly in a noisy environment. It might also activate even if you don't say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google” when it detects something that sounds similar. Retraining your Nest speaker, to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps on these help articles:
- Check which devices are using Voice Match: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7588195
- Adjust how sensitive Google Assistant is to “Hey Google: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9712065

Setup Was a Breeze—Nest Mini Fits Right In
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product arrived in great condition, and setting it up was a breeze—it integrated seamlessly with my existing Google Home devices. The sound quality is impressive for such a compact device. It’s perfect for playing music, getting quick answers to questions, and controlling other smart home features. I also like the sleek, minimalist design, which blends nicely with my decor. Overall, the Nest Mini is a high-quality, reliable device. I’d definitely purchase it again if I needed another speaker for my home. Would have rated higher but took off a few points since the delivery took much longer than originally promised.

Very easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have a few of these scattered throughout the house now and have linked them in groups so we can play in different rooms or the whole downstairs. It works pretty well once you learn how to talk to Google. For the price, they are a decent investment and provide good background sound all over the house.

Met my expectations for a smart speaker.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying, if your expectations are to have a smart speaker that also sounds like a jbl or Bose Bluetooth speaker, this speaker will disappoint you. The google nest mini does a great job at being a smart speaker and also your basic Bluetooth speaker to stream music but it will not wow you if you are a bass head or a Bluetooth speaker junky. When speaking to google assistant, it has enough volume for you to hear it over something like a microwave in the background or the tv on low volume or even a frying pan when using it in the kitchen like I am. I personally have this speaker attached under a kitchen cabinet with a Velcro strap and so far it has responded 7/10 times I’ve spoken to it. With that said, if we talk about the sound is while playing music, it sounds decent. Clear highs, okay mids & just enough bass to meet my expectations for a speaker this size. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking to take a step forward into the “smart home” and “smart home accessories” world. For the price, it can’t be beat.

Good looking smart speaker in a small package
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a small smart speaker. I didn't need a screen for photos, etc. The sound quality is very good for the kitchen where I use it. I use it primarily to play music. A bonus is I can ask it questions while I'm cooking like "what is tomorrow's weather". I can also ask "what song is this" while a song is playing and it will tell me the name of the song and artist. It has a small plug footprint which I appreciate. The plug shares the outlet and does not take over the space of the neighboring item. I gave it four stars because it is a bit temperamental when it comes to playing my Sirius XM channels. It appears to require exact syntax. I'm still learning how to use it though, so maybe I'm part of the problem. I may buy another one if it goes on sale again. The chalk color blends right in on my counter top microwave.

Small device, powerful speaker, great assistant
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first Google Assistant device and not my last. I was originally looking for a speaker for my small home office, but decided to get a speaker with an assistant. The speaker itself is quite powerful for what I need (music, podcasts, mindfulness, etc...), but the assistant has been fun to play with. I'm always imagined asking someone to set an alarm, set up my calendar, etc..and this device does exactly that, and more. I'm hoping to connect it to my light dimmers and other devices in the future. I'm not giving a full 5 stars since I have run into some issues with it disconnecting or logging out every so often. It's easy to overcome by rebooting or setting up again, but it's quite annoying. Google should be able to do better.

Cute and right size.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the Nest MIni because it is small enough to hang on the wall and not be too distracting. Volume is perfect for kitchen, and I can hear it low or loud enough to listen to music while doing dishes.
