To respond to their review as it's misleading people. You don't have a Gsuite account, you have a google account which has access to Gsuite. It's just the name for all their software that's bundled together. Also you can most certainly use Gsuite products like your calendar etc on the nest mini.

The speaker I got a month ago now, has great sound quality. I did tweak some of the settings for my taste which can be easily done in the app. Another great thing is it's ability to sync up with other google devices, I can add something on my calendar and It will pop up on my other google device. It can also recognise different voices and sync them with their accounts and devices. The best feature in my opinion is the response time, there is barely and delay between you asking it to do something, and that thing happening. The cons are; the speaker's lack of bass / low end, which is annoying for a audio geek like me, but it can easily be...view more The speaker I got a month ago now, has great sound quality.

The cons are; the speaker's lack of bass / low end, which is annoying for a audio geek like me, but it can easily be changed. The other con is it's ability to hear you, it can hear you if there is no noise, but if for example the shower is on, you have to raise your voice even with the sensitivity at max. The last thing is how you have to enable all these permissions on the app which is annoying. However, it shipped very fast from PB Tech and arrived in great condition. 8/10 product, would reccomend if you aren't so worried about getting the best quality sound.

This google nest mini is good. Very reliable especially when controlling the smart devices at home. Very easy to setup as well. Only downside is, it doesn't have the 3.5mm jack (which the alexa's got)... It does have bluetooth though, but I have an old speaker which requires 3.5mm jack, wanted to connect the nest to it, but can't do so now. Would have been great.

Google assistant functionality is good, although the speaker is not the best... this is why I wanted to connect it to another speaker. This google nest mini is good.

Bought this to join my three Google Home Minis (first gen). The sound quailty is noticeably superior. I with they hadn't gone with a proprietary power cable.

The biggest problem with the Nest Mini is that it does not support 5ghz channels above 149. So if you have a modern 5ghz network, you might have to change to a lower channel number on your AP to get these to work. Bought this to join my three Google Home Minis (first gen).

Great sound, and can be paired with another mini to do proper stereo. I don't have a super automated place, just a few smart bulbs and chromecast, but I'm hooked. I love being able to just ask for a podcast to play, or turn on the lights, and my kid loves the routines I set up to change the light colour and play her favorite song when she says "Hey google, baby shark" (I am the author of my own hell).

Was probably worth the discount price but now it needs resetting (hard Resets!) every few days and then relinking to both the home Google accounts. Research indicates this is common in some devices so back to pbtech.co.nz and their legendary support to see if they can help or replace.

Nice little speaker / home assistant when it works. I have 3 around the house that were working fine for the first couple of months. Now they need to be restarted every couple of hours. They stop working and I only get the "something went wrong / there was a glitch" messages.

Multiple factory resets and other recommended fixes have not resolved the issue. I cannot currently recommend this device. Nice little speaker / home assistant when it works.

Not absolutely necessary but fun to have. Not absolutely necessary but fun to have.

Great speaker and very good price Great speaker and very good price

Pretty helpful assistant, nice for playing relaxing music or helping the young-ones with school work or even for just general knowledge of things. Pretty helpful assistant, nice for playing relaxing music or helping the young-ones with school work or even for just general knowledge of things.

Product is great Product is great

Have had this for 3 Weeks now and I'm loving it! Great sound for such a small speaker. You can cast sound from literally any device with Google Home too. Once you have all the routines set up it's super handy and makes setting reminders super easy! Only cons are not using it enough. Have had this for 3 Weeks now and I'm loving it!
