Great little device
I have both the amazon echo (dot and new fabric covered one) and now this Google home mini. I have to say that the Google home is much better at handling questions, most times I ask it something it is able to give me a answer, however I prefer the echo for music, mostly as I have prime so get amazon music service. The Google home mini's built in sleeker seems better and louder than the dot but as expected not as good as the full size echo. its a great little device witch functions as expected.

Hidden cons
I do love this however there is an unexpected con. I could not listen to Spotify until I had subscribed to its service but, you can stream it from your phone without subscribing by just using it as a speaker.

So easy to set up and use
I absolutely love this, the only thing I can't do with it is play my itunes but I have linked my spotify so just as good. I can enable it when I am about 200m away aswell, you don't have to be in the same room. Will be adding extra bits to the system to link up everything at home :)

Amazed !!!!
I have it setup in my living room, links up to Chromecast to play YouTube on my TV, I can ask for directions on speaker and have maps sent to my phone, can make hands free calls to UK numbers through Wi-Fi connection (saves on my mobile usage). My daughter loves the speaker and uses it for her homework i.e. checking spelling, maths calculations, weather. I am pretty amazed as it does alot more than I initially thought. New features are being released on a regular basis, so will only get better.

Home mini better than expected
I bought this to integrate with my other two Google Homes around the house. Now it will connect via blueT with 3rd party speakers I decided the mini was enough. Actually, the mini sounds okay at low volumes. Not sure about the touch interface though.

Great little assistant
Google assistant has really grown up. Its so useful. Being a user of Google services is helpful. I was surprised by how loud and good the sound was for its size.

Google mini home
What more can I say, The google homes are a brilliant peace of kit. It's even better when brought with peace of mind and buying it from Argos. Although with the google home I've never had anything go wrong with them, This is our 4th in the house now. Kids love them to, playing games asking it lots of questions ect.

My Google Home Mini is perfect and has great sound
I was able to pick it up instantly after ordering which was convenient. I was in need of a good speaker to play my music and i'm very glad I got this product as it's just what I needed. The sound is of good quality, which may be suprising since it's a relatively small thing. It has many other helpful functions like setting an alarm for the morning, telling the weather/news, setting reminders and much more. I have the chalk one and it's the perfect size- not bulky! I would definitely recommend.

Yeh great product for the price
Good product. Works well, very easy setup. Kids love it. Plays music at a good level. Great addition to turn your home into a smart home. Google still needs to improve on some features but they should have new updates to do this. Will work with other smart devices such as hue lights and Google Chromecast.

Lovely, unobtrusive design and great functionality
I mainly bought this to allow me to control house lights with voice commands but quickly discovered it is useful for so much more. It integrates well with Chromecast, Spotify and Netflix to allow streaming to TVs and through the built-in speaker. The speaker quality is surprisingly good quality for such a small unit and the maximum volume is a lot louder than I would expect for the size.

Smart Home
Google is definitely a better choice than Amazon Dot, very responsive, with endless options in terms of how it can help with your day to day life.

Leave it all to Google!
After purchasing the Google Mini, Me and also my daughter have had some great uses and laughs out of it. Aslong as you are clear with your questions you can pretty much get answer to anything!? From what time the Next film is on at your local Cinema to where you can purchase a squishy toy which is asked by the 5 yr old! Also if you want to go the extra mile you can set your tv or smart functions up at home, such as your lights, heating and Netflix. Good little gadget and alot of fun.

GOOGLE home mini
Very easy to set up. Looks good and not intrusive and responds to most of questions given to it. It is not a gimmick more a lazy aid with quick response.

Super easy, comfortable and fun too!
I love it as it’s super easy and cheap too. You can just talk to him and ask him how is the weather, how to cook some dishes, to set any alarm and so on. You should try it

Nice device and speaker, weird service limitations
In white (chalk), so inconspicuous it's almost invisible. Works well as a Bluetooth speaker given its small size, and can get loud. Touch controls for volume are irritating. Can voice-control a Chromecast and show things from Netflix and All4 but bizarrely doesn't integrate with Google Play Movies & TV. Can play music from subscription services like Spotify or Google Play Music, but not from your purchased Google Music library. Can set an alarm for you, but can't/won't set music for it.

Not as smart as everyone makes out
Google on your phone can do just the same thing unless you've got smart enabled devices or subscriptions to Spotify, google+. I've asked it things and it doesn't know the answer andis working on it

Love the Mini Home
I already have a full size Google home so this just adds the the full home experience. So easy to say 'hey Google play metro radio' or ask it to turn the hue lights on or off. Won't be long before I add more bits and pieces
