Very quick response and more effective inquiries than Alexa I've heard and I believe it. It's taking some time to learn the appropriate phrases when requesting a certain genre or type of music but I think that's more of a learning thing on my part than the unit itself. I have not owned another smart speaker so I have nothing to compare it to howevet the speaker is average to good sounding in my opinion

This Speaker you will want to replace after getting it. The Amazon one has bass. The nest upgrade for the mini is really just going from 5v to 12v adapter. The only thing that keeps all 8 of these speakers in my house is that it has YouTube music and just google in general and Amazon does not. I do use my Amazon one for my desk local FM Stations via stream.

Good, decent bluetooth speaker. This device is my 1st go-around with voice command and smart home. For its price, it's well worth the $. Very easy setup. Many of the things that I used to pick up the iphone or ipad to do, I now "Hey, Google," like checking the weather, traffic, daily to-do list. The Nest Mini doesn't work with Apple Music, but works well as a bluetooth speaker. Google Home app is required. Google Home ecosystem is, I believe, still work in progress. And some of Nest products, like Nest Protect smoke/CO detector, is not connected to Google Home app. But hopefully, the Home ecosystem will get better. Overall, very happy with the Nest Mini.

Made a couple of improvements with this device. The sound is deeper richer and a tad louder. The plug is no longer a USB type connection into the device it's a straight plug which I do like. Definitely a great deal for the price I'm stoked!!

It's great! We use it for music and local radio stations. Did not set it up for google assistant, would be a help for someone who is not mobile in there home. Also if your are traveling you can control a homes electronic system. One feature I like is you can shut of the volume button for privacy.

All the great stuff about the 1st-generation Mini, with a bunch of improvements. Coolest thing I noticed recently: it adjusts the volume in response to background noise so it remains audible when things get loud.

This thing has been great for fleshing out my livestreaming setup. Whenever I need to set a timer, or I'm trying to think of the name of a game, song, or movie, I can just ask Google, hands-free, and never stop what I'm doing. You do have to speak rather distinctly for it to understand what you're saying half the time, but the voice recognition is honestly still quite impressive overall. The volume is nice and loud when it's turned up, too, so I don't have to worry about the response getting lost beneath the noise pollution of my games. Very happy with my purchase!

I purchased it to allow my Mother to control the compatible wifi thermostat and lights throughout the house without the need to get up and walk downstairs every single time. She them multiple times a day and now she doesn't need to walk up and down the stairs for simple tasks that the nest mini can do. Also, she loves that'll play any song from her childhood to recently released (via spotify account). Highly recommended for elderly people.

It's great, love it and bought one for my cousin. She is crazy about it as well, easy to set up and use.

Following the instruction was easy and I was using it in no time at all. I have several and one is by the computer to assist in spelling words, one is the bed room to adjust lighting and play music and give weather reports
