GoogleNest Mini 2nd Generation Smart Speaker with Google Assistant - Charcoal

Bought for a chime for my Google nest doorbell!! Works great!! Just not as Chime. Only an announcer. Still limited to 5 different tones just like the old one. Look nice though. Wish it came with a screen though…. But I have a great imagination so I’m lucky. Thanks Google!!!

Got a Japanese version of the product/instructions but was no issue changing it to English. Me and my dad got quite the laugh out of such a surprise and now that he's gone, that's one of my most cherished memories with him.10/10 would recommend.

I use this properly to alert me of my doorbell as I don’t have a physical chime in the house and the phone alert is a little delayed. It alerts me about 1-2 sec after the bell is rang every time. Speaker has been good for music at times.

I've had 3 of the 1st Generation Google Nest Mini Speakers, and had no issues at all with them, until one spent quite some time in a humid environment and stopped working. I couldn't get a new 1st Gen, so I got this one. It was easy to set up the first time and hook up to my existing Google Home. It worked fine the first day or so. Then, a few days later, following a power outage, it said it needed to be hooked up to the Google Home app. I couldn't get this to work without doing a factory reset. and it took days to have time to find the instructions. I got it hooked up and it worked for another day or two. It had been unplugged, so I thought that was the issue. After doing another factory reset and hooking it up again, we were very careful to avoid power outages, but it again stopped working soon after an unknown number of days (hadn't used it for some time). Did the factory reset, and now it spoke Japanese until we got it hooked up. As it was past the 30 day window, we couldn't return it. Have reset once or twice since then, hoping to get it to work, but it never stays more than a day or two. I love our other two, or I'd already be replacing all with Amazon Echo Speakers. As it is, we're replacing this with one, and will do the same should the others fail.

It's a great device to have around the house especially as a beginning piece to your smart home / space, right out of the box even without the start up guide setup is a breeze because the device practically sets itself up for you, almost so fast you could swear it was autonomous because the wifi/bluetooth simultaneous connection and permission acceptance happen quickly right behind each other, the size is surprisingly moderate so it's big enoughto notice when you do see it but small enough to where it'll blend into the background of your vision like your peripheral without making you want to take a look so it's not an eyesore, the build is very solid so you can tell it's made of quilty materials, and while others are trying to sell these for upward of a hundred dollars these are considerably very affordable being that these speakers are the cheaper out of two offers on Amazon, speaker/ mic UI work pretty well, but of course you have to train the voice assistant & set the voice reaction sensitivity to where you'll need it, my only nit pick is for my speakers is I can't pair them together to play music. Don't get me wrong they will both definitely play music, but they will also default to only one speaker being functional as speaking to/interacting with, the other speaker will no longer respond so I just leave them separately paired to get full functionality out of both. Outside of those points I would say if you've been feeling hesitant to buy one or a couple of these speakers don't just get them.

We love music and listening to the news. So we put these in all our bathrooms and the kitchen. Great to have music playing while in the shower. You can ask it to turn on and adjust the volume just by asking. It will also answer tons of questions about lots of stuff.

This Google is very small, but has great sound! I like it because it does not get in the way on my kitchen counter. It is so easy and handy for music and all sorts of info to ask Google.

Nice.
