My Google Homes and Home Minis are way more useful than I ever thought they would be. The more stuff you add like more speakers or Chromecasts or smart outlets, the more useful the system becomes. I upgraded to two full size Google Homes up from a pair of Minis and I'm very happy with them.

I rated this 5 stars because I did my homework and knew what the existing limitations would be. While google improves the software behind the Assistant that powers this device, the mic is sharp and pics up my voice from a surprising distance.

Put off buying another gadget as I am running out of outlets. Finally succumbed and have been thrilled that I did. Really amazing how helpful and fun this is. Just bought 5 minis and 1 regular size for Christmas gifts. Very very easy to set up and customize.

I gave the Google Home as a gift...what a mistake, not once has this thing worked as advertised and the "Fixes" provided by Google didn't help at all. The unit now sits on the closet shelf since it won't respond to verbal commands and frequently will begin talking all by itself..

Love the combo of the Nest Max and Google speaker. Super fast shipping. The price was fantastic and it shakes out to getting the speaker for free! #sweepstakes

I absolutely LOVE Google Home. We are going to purchase the larger one and more of the smaller one for gifts

If you haven't already splashed out on an Echo, Google Home is an essential purchase. Aside from a handful of teething problems, it's a remarkable little home helper, and one I can't recommend highly enough.

Cheaper than Echo; Wide IoT support; Easy to use

Some features unavailable in UK

Google Home is pretty much neck and neck with it's biggest rival, the Amazon Echo. That doesn't mean it's not an excellent product, though - especially for those who have already bought into Google's ecosystem.

Cheaper than the Echo; Chromecast support; Easy to use

Voice recognition and speech capabilities are slightly lacking

This is probably the most useless piece of technology I have ever owned!! I paid a heck of a lot of money for a glorified alarm/reminder. The app you need for this is hard to set up, no instructions with it, so you're navigating all sorts of places to set it up.

Purchased to provide cover over my whole house to around 20-22 devices. TV's, games consoles etc. Setup was as simple as it states in the instructions. Around 10-15minutes and was then a case of adding all the various devices and setting names.
