Something is happening in your home. We're already totally lost without the internet inside the house, and we fully expect the same connectivity out of the home too. Trouble is, we're all turning into phone zombies.
Google Home Review: In Depth (UK model) | Recombu

You need the premium subscription for Amazon, YouTube etc to listen to your playlist. Its very handy and easy to operate. Its compact and follows instructions easily.

Google Home Review: Google Assistant leads the charge
Starting point Overall, I'm pleased with the Home and happy that Google has opted to finally bring the device to Canada. Home could easily replace my Echo and probably will given how it matches the functionality Amazon's IoT device is capable of, but also features Google Assistant.- Sleek looking
- Actually officially available in Canada
- Reasonable price tag
- Google Assistant sometimes disappoints
- Multi-user support isn't available in Canada
- Sound quality is lacklustre

The Home is a squat little device that's intended to sit in your house or apartment, providing an access point to all of Google's services whenever you need them, even if your hands are full or you're not in front of a phone or computer.- Attractive design
- Good sound quality
- Smart voice responses
- Fiddly touch controls
- Limited features
- Not the future
- yet
Fun gadget... the real magic should be coming
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.

In many ways, Google Home is amazing. It's the all-in-one J.A.R.V.I.S.-like butler we've dreamt of for years. Well, almost.
