  I have been using it for almost 3 years and I am absolutely satisfied. I use it daily and continuously. It is connected to 2 lamps, 2 sockets (a coffee maker and now in the summer a fan), the air conditioner, and the television. Besides the devices, of course, I frequently use it to remind me of something on a specific date, to wake me up at a specific time, and for any encyclopedia information or mathematical operation I need when I am at my desk. It probably works better if the phone is in English, but I always had my phone like this anyway. It requires at least a decent knowledge of English and it is incredibly convenient.
  The only negative thing is that you get used to it. I went on vacation and I didn't like that I couldn't simply say that I'm feeling hot in the hotel room and I had to look for the air conditioning remote control. Five stars.
  P.S. I bought it for 25€ but I believe it's worth its money even at the current price of 50€ that I see it.

  Excellent, I changed all the bulbs to smart ones and also bought the Chromecast, but it is important to know how to speak English well. When I haven't used it for a week, it needs a restart and sometimes a reset, and the Chromecast only happened to me once, so it didn't bother me

  This review is about a variation of the product

  So far, I have 2 in the house in different rooms, I have connected smart devices and give voice commands. The only drawback I have noticed is that they connect and disconnect from Google Home while they are actually connected. This problem has been present for years in Google Home according to various discussions and comments, and there is still no solution from Google. I was able to create a Group with the Google Nest Mini and they work fine, but they may appear disconnected in Google Home.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  I have been using it for two years! It is very good and user-friendly, the only issue I have is with the microphone. If you increase the volume above 45-50%, the microphone doesn't pick up your voice and you have to either lower it through the application or use it through the application again. Another thing that bothers me is that if the phone is set to Greek, its functions are limited and often you have to switch it to English. Apart from these two things, it is a very good choice!

  I have had it for 2 years, and I am not satisfied, many disconnects for no reason, many times I need to do a complete reset for it to work. However, when it works, it works fine and does what it promises, but unfortunately, you have to deal with it often.

  I have been using it for about a month on a daily basis to control the devices in my house, mainly the lighting. It has all the features of Google Assistant, which has improved significantly over the years. It is definitely worth the money.

  It's a lot of fun and does many things... I also have a Yeelight smart bulb that it turns on and off and adjusts the lighting... The only negative is that it doesn't support the smart settings of LG TVs for some reason and the Greek language yet... It plays music, connects easily, and the sound is incredibly good from the device... It's worth every euro at 25 euros that I bought it, but not at the 75 euros that I've seen in stores... It will definitely be useful to you!

  This review is about a variation of the product

  First of all, it surprised me as it has a stronger sound than Alexa 1&2 (owner of both). Having experience with such "smart" speakers, its setup seemed easier to me (google > amazon). A big advantage on Spotify as it doesn't require a premium account to play music (with the disadvantages of a free account, of course).
  I wish it was different but at this price and for Greece where Google has more support than Amazon and Apple, I believe it is the best choice to set up a "smart" device environment in your home, which you can control vocally (lights, switches, outlets, TV, music, etc.)

  I would like the microphone to be a little more powerful, but I don't have a point of comparison. Also, I don't have any of the larger models, but with a few more devices, it covers the entire space and you can hear without shouting. The best thing about having multiple devices is that you can fill all the rooms with music, so you don't need to listen at full volume consistently and you can have better sound quality. I recommend it to people who like to have a musical background throughout their day and people who simply enjoy music within reasonable limits.

  Amazing gadget! I got it a few months ago and so far it works perfectly. The sound is not anything extraordinary, almost the same as a first-generation JBL Go, but for a speaker of this size, I didn't expect much in terms of sound. (However, if you want, it has the option to play the sound through another Bluetooth speaker.) Usually, though, you buy such a speaker for its smart features. Right?

  Speaking of its smart features, the Google Home speakers are among the speakers that lack almost nothing. It can even make you coffee if you connect a simple coffee maker to a smart socket. (And of course, if you have put coffee in it) If your phone is from an Android version and above, you can try all the smart features on Google Assistant. (Watch a video on how to activate it and play with it, it's a lot of fun) I won't go into details about the smart features, but as I said, you can try them! Enough about the smart features, let's talk about the construction.

  As for the construction, it is quite good. It has an orange non-slip pad with the reset button underneath, which won't easily slip if you place it on a dust-free surface. It is made of plastic all around, which is not of low quality like some fake Bluetooth speakers. On the back, it has a micro USB port and a Mute Switch. On top, it has a mesh (see what I mean in the pictures on Skroutz) which hides three touch sensors (one on the right side, one on the left, and one in the center), which are used for volume control and music playback. On the top side, it also has 4 RGB LEDs which are used for some indicators. Its charger (it doesn't have a battery) is round with a white cable, about 2 meters long. The cable is of very good quality and you can feel the quality when you hold it in your hands (as the same applies to the Home Mini) and that's when you realize that your money didn't go to waste.

  Final conclusion? A M A Z I N G!

  If you have smart bulbs, smart sockets, and generally smart devices, it is a must-have! Its features, build quality, unboxing experience, and sound for its size make it possibly the best speaker for its price! If you've been considering it for a while, don't hesitate to get it!

  The most useful thing for the home. You have control over almost all smart devices in the house, full integration with all Google services, Spotify, etc. For everything else, just ask it.... It always has something to answer...!

  This review is about a variation of the product

  Very convenient device to use as an alarm clock, for nighttime music with Spotify, for relaxing sounds, as an outdoor thermometer, for controlling lights and electrical devices. The sound is very pleasing for its size.

  HOWEVER, this company's obsession with unlocking the device only with the phrase "ok google" is impractical and annoying. For someone who has connected all the lights and lamps in a house, it is not logical or pleasant to constantly address the device with this command (and speaking only in English). I think my neighbors will hear me and think I'm crazy.

  Additionally, the device relies on the internet for everything, and if the connection is cut off, the user cannot even turn on the lights in their house.

  Also important is the lack of a simple power button that bypasses the need to say "ok google" when the device is right next to you.

  At the same time, the volume buttons are completely non-ergonomic. It is impossible to move the device without pressing them.

  Also, the notifications do not work as I would like, as they are not announced in detail.

  Finally, lately the device has been activating by itself, from random words it hears.

  If you want to start dealing with Greek. First say "Leave feedback" and then something like "We need support for Greek language".

  With smart light switches, plugs, Chromecast, etc., I have made my whole house smart. It listens quite clearly, although sometimes you have to shout a little louder. I have 1 and now that its price has dropped significantly, I am thinking of getting another 2-3 for the rest of the rooms in the house.

  Note: If you are one of the lucky/unlucky ones who have G-suite (either legacy or paid, prefer Alexa). Some features do not work (such as reminders, access to calendar, etc.) And the worst part is that Google doesn't warn you, and the Google Home team blames it on G-Suite and vice versa.

  It would be good for the Greek language if you ask the speaker every day when it will start accepting voice commands in Greek and responding in Greek every day and whenever you remember it because what we say, don't forget that they control it, so together we can achieve what we want and for Google it is very easy. From the moment it can translate from any language to Greek, it can also listen to Greek and respond in Greek as long as we constantly ask for it until they do it!

  I am the owner of this specific assistant for a few weeks now. I don't want to mention the positives of the device because they have been said by all the previous ones. The only thing I want to add is that you don't need to have a premium account on Spotify to play music... it works with a simple free account without needing to go through any special process. The second thing I want to mention is that it works incredibly well with Google Chromecast. Very fast response and execution of voice commands on the television.

  Excellent! I mainly got it for music in the bedroom, but it also works perfectly in the kids' room. It can be a bit stubborn sometimes in recognizing other voices besides mine at home, but overall it executes all commands. It's easier to serve it a command in a specific way that you have thought of rather than hesitating and getting stuck because then it won't understand. Definitely, if someone is an audio freak, it won't satisfy them, but for more casual listeners, it's great and has a lot of volume!

  It does not sync as I expected with the mobile... I thought I would be able to control it through it. Nevertheless, the broadcasts as well as the Duo have proven to be very useful. Nice construction, and the LEDs are not so bothersome.

  I bought it now during the quarantine. The reason was that I wanted to get closer to the world of autonomy. The Google Home Mini was just what I needed. Thanks to this, my house is gradually becoming smart. I bought smart bulbs, a smart camera, and a smart plug. And my life really became easier. It has good quality construction, it's quite beautiful, and has a very gentle tone. For its price, it's worth it as a choice for controlling a smart home. Good sound, good voice detection (hey Google), and with a recent Google update for hey Google sensitivity, it's fantastic. Value for money!

  I was torn between this and Alexa, but I chose this purely because of Google, as I believe it has a better database. On its own, it's nice, but I bought it as a basic piece to build a smart home. Initially, I wanted to connect it to my LG TV, but it still doesn't support it, as I found out from the official website. As an alternative, I will try it with Chromecast. One downside is that it needs to be permanently plugged into the socket.

  If you have smart devices in your environment that can connect to Google Home, then it will really help you. Not that it can't do otherwise, as you can learn various information about roads, weather information, and many more. However, it is very nice to be able to control various devices in your environment just with your voice while sitting. It is definitely worth its money!

  It has already been described as a product.
  I just want to add one detail, which for some people may be important.
  When it is mentioned EU adapter in the description, it means that it comes with a British or US plug, and they also send you a European adapter to fit Greek sockets. Because the plug of the Google Home Mini is already large, whether it is European or British, if an adapter is needed, it becomes even larger and can cause some problems (either aesthetically or because it needs to be placed behind furniture).
  In my case, it was not a problem (although I didn't notice it in the description, and maybe I would have chosen one with a direct European plug if I had paid attention), because the position where the plug goes fits and is not visible.

  For its price, the product is worth 100%. In the at least one year that I have had it, it hasn't had any issues and has helped me with almost everything. I have connected it to a lamp, my Spotify account, and the television, and everything has been done automatically.

  For the money you give to get a smart speaker, it is incredibly good value for money. Possibly nicer in appearance than the echo dot 3, but with a slightly worse speaker. The absence of Greek does not bother me, after all, the British pronunciation that I have set is great and I would prefer it anyway. It connects very easily with the various things I have, like Xiaomi Yeelight lamps, Smartplugs, Sonoff switch for the water heater, etc. You can create many scenarios that you can activate vocally, such as "Good Morning" and it gives you route information for work, weather, and then for example it can play music from Spotify or Google Music or "Goodnight" and it turns off all the lights, the TV or whatever you have told it to turn off... Very convenient in general, even for various small pieces of information, such as how old a famous person is, the analysis of a strange word you heard, how long a specific movie lasts, etc. The one star that I have deducted is for the truly worse "wake-up" that exists in a smart device. The "Hey Google" or "Ok Google" that you have to say before every command is tragic.

  Very practical way to control your Google Assistant compatible smart devices. For music, of course, it is inadequate, more due to quality rather than volume.
