Very disappointed in the delivery considering all the great reviews. It kept needing to be reset on the Bluetooth and Google Assistance. Not a good product unless they can improve the malfunctions.

If you don't care too much about portability, the Sonos One sounds significantly better. However, the JBL Link 20 is still a solid smart speaker with better sound than some, and is worth considering if you see it sold at a good price.

Fully portable; Has Bluetooth as well as Google Home; Good mic array; Full sound

Not as dynamic of exciting sounding as the best; Constrained soundstage; No aux input

A rugged, rechargeable speaker with Google Assistant onboard, the Link 20 has all the voice-activated smart skills of a Google Home but without the need to be tethered to a plug socket all the time.

Confident sound; Rugged; waterproof build; Responsive microphones; Built-in Bluetooth

No Google Assistant without Wi-Fi; Sound is solid rather than stunning

Small, smart, and a solid sound – the Link 20 ticks a lot of the right boxes The Link 20 is a fine jack-of-all-trades speaker. Its portability, Google Assistant, and above-average sound quality mean that for those who want to play their music with minimal fuss, JBL has provided an easy solution.

Good sound quality; Google Assistant; 24-bit/96kHz streaming; IPX7 waterproofing

Sound quality could be more nuanced and authoratitive; Google Assistant needs wi-fi connection; No 3.5mm input

The JBL Link 20 is simply the cheapest, most versatile Bluetooth speaker with Google Assistant built-in. It might not outperform larger rivals for sound quality, but its blend of sound quality, smart assistant convenience and sensible design are hugely appealing all the same.

IPX7 waterproofing; Google Assistant built-in

Medicore sound quality; No 3.5mm auxiliary jack

Our daughter has the Link 10 we loved that so much we couldn't wait to upgrade our Sonos to this Link 20! Along with being easy to use with Google assistant, it has a fabulous 360 degree sound & great battery life.

I've seen other reviews saying easy to set up. My unit will not complete the Google Assistant setup. It goes all the way through - connects to my phones' wifi, does my voice training, adds my home location, assigns a location and device name, gets to the very end of the process then gives an error...

i brought this a month ago and it is so amazing recommend it to a friend

The sound quality and ease of use is good

The battery life is nowhere near 10 hours as advertised and more like 5 hours

One of the great things about both the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice-assistant platforms is that they're both very open. It's easy for third-party companies to make compatible smart home devices that work with both of them.

The Google Assistant-enabled JBL Link 20 has Google Chromecast built in and can be linked to other Link and Chromecast speakers to create a multiroom set-up; It delivers strong sound for a portable speaker, is fully waterproof, and has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Slow start-up time; some distortion at higher volumes
