Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I purchased this as a joke for my husband and dad who are anything but tech savvy. It became such a great product to have that I bought two Google Nests and a Google Mini to have around my house. My daughter loved it so much I bought one for her room. This is so amazing. The speakers on all of the products is superb. For the compact size of the minis, they are quite powerful and the Google home fills up my entire living room. It’s easy to give commands and the responses are fast. I also bought Nitebird lightbulbs and they were so easy to connect! Omg I understand the hype of home assistants now! Can’t recommend enough!

Works Good

I bought this and the Echo Dot on Black Friday in Dec 2017. To my surprise, the Google Home Mini has a more decent sound system than the Echo Dot. I've also hooked up my Smart Light bulbs and it works perfectly. Also, I've linked my Pandora and Spotify accounts to the Google Home and it's awesome. Wish they made a portable Google Mini.
Way better than the Echo Dot

I have the Amazon Echo Dot, and Google Home mini. I had the Dot for a year, and found that I kept running into issues with the device. It couldn't answer questions properly, such as the weather. You had to add skills to get it to give you a detailed weather report. Many of the skills offered were things that I never really would use. So I decided to give the mini a try. I've had it for almost 5 months, and now have them throughout the house. One by my TV, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom, and one in the bathroom. I find it responds to questions quickly, you can ask it more detailed weather. If looking for music, it has a better understanding of your commands than the echo dot. The devices have decent sound, and you don't need to add skills for every little inquiry. I ended up buying these and giving them as gifts for Christmas. Every person I have given this to has loved it as a gift and has found it useful in their household.
Mother's Little Helper! Love it!

We love our Google Home Mini. I got one for each of my siblings. I love asking questions without having to go search on my phone. Monopoly game rules, distance to destination, history, weather, and my favorite podcast of Joyce Meyers accompanies me during morning coffee. I also enjoy having music at the command of my request. Hey Google! Play some Christmassy Jazz. Right on it! Love it! Alarms, reminders, etc.... So helpful for this busy mom of 5.
GIFT OF THE YEAR
5 out of 5 rating
Dapper Dan . 7 years ago
This is probably the second review I have written in maybe a year. I don't like writing them, but this device just draws you in, and makes you happy. My apologies for it's length. Having had the Mini about one month, it has never failed my expectations, and continues to amaze me. I have nothing but good to say. I cannot honestly fault anything about it. Right out of the box, after plugging it in, and downloading the app, it performed perfectly, just about setting itself up. There are many volume levels to satisfy you, from a whisper to loud, whether playing a Christmas song, or telling you how far it is to a friends house, or operate a switch to turn my Christmas Tree lights on or off. How much fun and convenience is that? The value is well beyond the selling price. I think it can be the gift of the year. Leave a note for Santa, or buy yourself one and enjoy!
Great device, horrible service!

Let me just say that I really like my Google home speakers! The process of getting the mini was less than steller. First of all, 2 day delivery was promised when I purchased the mini during black Friday deals but took over a week for my mini to arrive. Not sure how people got theirs so quickly? Then a $10 gift card was included in the purchase but not once during the entire purchasing process was it ever mentioned that one would have to request the gift card instead of just getting one? Maybe it's me and my lack of purchasing through the Verizon website but I have never seen a more complicated process to obtain a gift card! Why does one need to submit proof of payment if it was purchased through the Verizon website? I seriously doubt I'll ever order from Verizon again!
Excellent Performance

Great price and fast shipping via Verizon. Google Home Mini is a breeze to activate and is a pleasure to use. Wonderful addition to my smart home. Extremely pleased with my purchase and have recommended to family members.
Great Little Device

JLHenry . 7 years ago
Wanted to first say that I would not have purchased this device, except for the price offered. It shipped quickly and was so easy to set up. I would offer one bit of advice, be all in with Google if you purchase this device. It would be useless without other Smart devices (Chromecast, voice activated video monitor, wifi lightbulbs, etc.). This is the first device I would recommend purchasing if you would like to "dip your foot into the Smarthome pool." If it doesn't work the way you expect, you are only a small amount of money.
Pros
Sound quality is great, but don't expect deep bass.
Looks much cooler than what Amazon offers - and you can see that Amazon is starting to offer devices with "mesh/cloth" covering.
Cons
It needs a battery back-up
No Bluetooth connection
No aux outlet
Uses
Playing trivia games with your family
Weather and Traffic updates
Telling Smart appliances what to do
Please understand that speaking to a device to tell it what to do involves a learning curve for those not used to talking to devices. You will have to Google specific phrases for specific devices in order for this device to work like you want it to, and even then, it's not perfect.
Google Home Mini FAQs
Carol . Nov 4, 2019
1. can the Google mini work with a MacBook Pro Retina 13" early 2015 build? 2. IF it can, can I just have it play music on YouTube that is available without a paid subscription?
Answer from VZBV5 years
The Google Home Mini requires a Wi-Fi network, a nearby electrical outlet and a compatible mobile device. To play YouTube you would need a subscription, due to the device needing access to that app without the mobile device itself being in use. - Steven

Will this work with my Verizon mifi
Answer from VZBV6 years
This Google home will work with your Verizon MIFI. There can be some downsides to using your MiFi device with a device like this. You will need to make sure your plan has enough data allowance to allow you to enjoy features like streaming on the Google Home. You also will need to make sure your MiFi device remains on and charged consistently to keep the Google Home connected. - Jenelle
