If anyone was looking to pull the trigger, now would be the time.
Given that the the Home Mini generally retails for only slightly less, this is a great deal.
I have every product in the Google Home Family: This one, the Mini, the Max and the Hub.
This one (the original Home) is the solid, reliable mid-ranger. It picks up sound very well and has impressive sound quality. It’s not an audiophile device, but it’s well suited for music.
I’ve seen a ton of offers on these devices recently -
Must be gearing up for a new range soon (although hard to imagine the new ones will be a massive step up).
I’ve not used it at all - It’s simply listening in to all my office conversations
I really got it to “see what it was like” - Being an Apple house, the one mini doesn’t really fit in.
It’s definitely the best assistant I’ve used - If it played nice with Apple Music, I’d buy the bigger version!
But… my house has yet to adopt the whole voice assistant thing - Opting to use the apps to control the various smart things instead (possibly cause Siri is just so bad, it’s much quicker to use the apps!)
I may end up getting the HomePod for music alone, but I don’t see any more “assistant speakers” being used for the assistant side of things!
I have mine down to my mum, currently my tiny flat is decked out with 2 home hubs and a mini. Love these devices. I’d have my whole home voice activated if it was possible.
