Our Honest Review

Pros

With voice control, you’re always informed about your calendar, the weather, traffic, and all other Google knowledge.
Thanks to voice control, you can carry out tasks without using your tablet or smartphone.
The speaker can distinguish up to 6 voices, which means you can use the device with multiple people.

Cons

You need a Google account to be able to use functions such as calendar management.
To control your TV or other speakers, you need a Chromecast or a Chromecast Audio.

Conclusion

The Home Mini is the cheapest way of buying into the Assistant yet for those looking to buy into Google’s smart home ecosystem. While it’s a good value for the price, its poor sound performance makes it a better desk buddy than a standalone speaker.
