Good little wifi system.

This compact system fits almost anywhere and has given me plenty of signal from inside wooden cabinets. I do wish the units had a power switch.
Pros:
  • Works well with normal set-up routine
  • Plenty of signal strength in my home
  • No need so far to change channels
  • Turns on each morning with no fuss
Cons:
  • I'm wondering what if anything Google is learning about me thru this product that of course is a conduit for my Internet traffic

Google Home review

The Google Home is the best all-round smart speaker you can get, offering a great balance of, price, design, sound quality and features. It answers all our questions, keeps us entertained and up to date, and even turns on and off our lights. It is quite literally one of the best and most exciting talking points our home has seen.

Google Home

This product is easy to set up. The Google Assistant is very useful for controlling smart devices in the home. Google Home is unobstructive and Glenys into any room. The sound is not on a par with a Sonos One, however from an ex Sonos user, the assistant capabilities far exceed Sonos.

Great sound quality and works flawlessly.

Great sound, clear and can get really loud with the same sound quality. Since the purchase of the speaker, it has updated several times to improve performance. The assistent can understand almost everything, although being the product that it is, I'd expect a little more commands but it will get...

The Google Home was a joy to have some hands-on time with, however brief it may have been. The problem Google has on its hands with the device is choosing to focus heavily on its built-in AI, or more on supporting additional apps and smart hardware to make it more useful.

Google Home

Alexa is still the queen of voice assistants. Google Home is learning fast, and it does some things better than Alexa does. If you have a Google Play Music account and multiple Google accounts around your household, Google Home will give you a smoother multi-user experience.
Pros:
  • Attractive design
  • Removable color bases
  • Well-rounded sound
  • Multi-room audio
Cons:
  • Still fewer skills than Amazon's Alexa
  • Doesn't work as a standard Bluetooth speaker

Google Home Review

The Google Home is a great-looking speaker with a voice assistant that's catching up to Amazon's Alexa, although it hasn't quite gotten there yet. The Google Home ($129) connected wireless speaker has grown up a lot in the six months since it appeared on the scene. With support for multiple users, many more smart home brands, and third-party skills, it's finally a legitimate competitor to the Amazon Echo ecosystem. In some ways, Google Home is even better than Alexa—at handling multiple users, for instance. It hasn't quite caught up yet overall, but it's definitely getting there. Design and Setup The Google Home ($99.00 at Target) is an attractive gourd-shaped speaker with a removable woven gray base—additional fabric ($20) and metal ($20) options are available. It's 3.79 inches in diameter and 5.62 inches tall, and weighs about a pound. It looks like an ornamental candle, and thanks to the fabric base and various color options, it'll fit much more easily into various home decor than Amazon's somewhat utilitarian-looking black or white Echo speakers (even the smaller Echo Dot and Amazon Tap aren't particularly attractive). ...
Pros:
  • Attractive design
  • Removable color bases
  • Well-rounded sound
  • Multi-room audio
Cons:
  • Still fewer skills than Amazon's Alexa
  • Doesn't work as a standard Bluetooth speaker

Google Home review: still much to learn

For all intents and purposes, Google Home is pretty much a year old and needs to do more. In the U.S., the smart voice box has already been on the market long enough to give app developers time to implement the actions, but so far, the added value is limited to few areas.
Pros:
  • Good music control
  • Accurate voice recognition
  • Integrates smart home devices from many different manufacturers
Cons:
  • Does not use any Phillips Hue scenes
  • Too few compatible apps
