Google Home review
Both wildly intelligent and supremely versatile in the ways in which it can be used, Google Home is evolving quickly compared to the Amazon Echo but it still has to make a few changes to catch up – starting, perhaps, with better integration with Google's own services.
Pros:
- Customizable base
- Massive song library
- Expanding hardware ecosystem
- Six-month YouTube Red trial in US
Cons:
- Missing Google's own services
- Phrasing needs to be precise
- Google Cast support needs work

This is not wireless.
Buying this product I knew you had a power cable that needed to be connected however I didn't know that you needed to connect it to your network via Ethernet cable. If you are purchasing this as you can not grab a connection in one part of your house then you need to buy at least 2 pods (3 if you...

Worthless
I gave the Google Home as a gift...what a mistake, not once has this thing worked as advertised and the "Fixes" provided by Google didn't help at all. The unit now sits on the closet shelf since it won't respond to verbal commands and frequently will begin talking all by itself..

Google Home
Fresh off the launch of the Google Pixel , the new Google Hardware division is back with its second product: Google Home, a voice command appliance and Google Cast-enabled speaker. There is basically no interface at all to this product-it's all voice commands, all the time.
Pros:
- The "OK Google" hotword performance is absolutely incredible
- It always answers, and all your other hotword capable devices hive mind together to intelligently pick a single device to respond to you, A great media product
- For audio there's a loud, crisp speaker, and a great mesh audio capability.
Cons:
- Most of my favorite voice commands from the Google app don't work-no reminders
- messages
- or creating calendar events
- Do you want to know exactly what voice commands are supported for each service and function? Nobody knows!

Review: The Google Home invasion
There's little question that some sort of voice response device that controls a home tech ecosystem is inevitable. Google Home is the best of them today: The best physical design, the best database behind it, the most "natural" because it can retain the context of the last couple of exchanges.
Pros:
- Attractive design
- "conversational" search
- backed by Google's immense database
Cons:
- Large power brick
- conversational search is still limited

Google's new smart speaker is at once a secretary, a librarian and a radio. Ask about your day, and the Home speaker will give you the time, weather, estimated commute, the news and upcoming calendar appointments. It will convert miles into feet, and dollars into euros.
