Let me know what you all think about Amazon and Google devices and which one you like to have in your home.
CKid I had an echo dot for a while but decided to go to Google home. Much better in my opinion. I'm gonna get a home mini for myself in place of my regular home because it has better voice recognition. I kept having issues where it couldn't hear me over music. I plan on hooking up new speakers above my desk so I don't need an amazing built in speaker on the home itself
I don't think you have to completely ditch Alexa for GH. I have several Echo devices and I am pondering getting a Mini to add to the mix. They both can co-exist in my home.
When I saw the title of this video I was going to skip it, because I didn't want to hear anything disparaging about Alexa, but I broke down and listened. I just want to add Amazon has allowed the ability to create profiles so each person's voice is recognized. However I have to agree it would be nice if Amazon would spend more time working on its software for instance assisting Microsoft with beefing up Bing since it relies on it for search results and if they would incorporate the Alexa Skills into its software updates thus allowing you to just speak the wake word without having to first enable a Skill. But the fact remains there are plenty of things you can do with the Alexa by enabling a skill. I really dislike Google for pulling RUclips from the Echo Show. They could still compete without being petty. I am still an Alexa fan of sorts but I have been mulling the idea of purchasing a GH Mini to see what I can get out of it. I am not going to ditch my Alexa products. I believe they both can exist in my house.
I waited for and purchased the Google Home. The Google database alone made it worth it. Gonna buy two minis when they’re released
Hello I am new here and I just got a Google Home , And I can see why you would like to change and I say to change because it is good shaped it's the size of a donut and I think you would really live it and appreciate having it but the things I recommend buying with it are Philips Hue Crome cast (so you can play Netflix RUclips esc on the TVs) Spotify on your phone or iPad tablet and that's all. I hope this helped
I love how connected you are to your chat this video was made 2 years ago and you are still reading the chat love u bro
Most definitely I always stay tuned with my peeps. Thanks for watching fam. I 👀 you
I prefer the google home also but, I just hate saying "Okay Google/Hey Google" it doesn't feel natural like saying Alexa.
The138Monster *feel*
Imagine how often it would be triggered if you just said Google
I agree with hey Google being unnatural. The fact that it knows who is talking to it and that they have added different voices makes me hopeful that the ability to name your assistant is on its way.
I'd at least like "hey Gee". Sounds like a good compromise, as the original doesnt roll as well for me.
In the app you can change the name of what you call your Google
Man you hit all the right points. I have 2 echo dots. I was turned off by the pricing of the original Google home, but now since the home mini is out I think I'll be crossing over. Great video! 👊
+Just Doin' Life I agree I thought the Google Home was a bit pricey. But compared to the price of the original Echo it was cheaper though. But I’m with you on those mini’s they essentially are all you need. Thanks for checking out the vid. Appreciate you.
Why would you buy either one? I have searched and searched and I can't find anything either one will do.
After you said crossover epmd. Came to mind..😂
Amazon started it when they refused to carry Google products. They in effect awoke the sleeping giant.
The counter argument is that Google has a history of abandoning features leaving its users high and dry. I’m into the Google ecosystem as well, but it’s a valid argument.
Wood Hughes I would agree with your statement as they did with Google Music which I feel they abandoned but it seems that they are full steam ahead with Google Assistant so far. Since it's inception they have been consistent with the updates and staying ahead of current market making other companies have to play catch up. But I do see your argument and agree 100%. Thanks for watching buddy and if you can consider subscribing and sharing this video that would be awesome.
Done & done. Good presentation.
Google Home gets better everyday and its only been out for a short time vs. echo. We have both, but the Google Home is much more intuitive and its responses are more refined. I'll be returning the Echo 2
Smart move my friend....smart move. I keep only 1 echo device in my home to be able to test other tech items that may come out for the channel but we live in a Google Assistant Home.
I got the Google Home Mini as a gift last week, soon after ordered the Echo Dot 2, thinking I would have the best of both worlds.. Yesterday the Echo Dot 2 arrived and within a few hours I realized Google is superior. Here is just one of many examples: I told Alexa to "shut up" she muted her silly story, then continued talking. Alexa is unresponsive 30% of the time, 40% of the time she doesn't have an answer, and the rest she's just, eh.
Ditto that.
Good to know. I was thinking these same types of things. The google assistant is by far the best anyway.
For sure. Thanks for watching. Feel free to share.
I know I’m 2 years late on this tech but a month ago before making my choice I did my homework and I made the choice to go with google for all the points you mentioned. The idea is to have a device to pretty much do what you ask it to do with no fuss. Yes, echo in some case looks better but the search engine is behind. The maps are behind when I need directions, common since things I need it to look up it Amazon doesn’t get it done all the time. As for Apple hard no, it’s a speaker that is limited in what it plays not a fan
Fantastic explanation. Describes why I never bought into the Amazon platform...
Thanks buddy!
You are no nonsense in your opinions which is awesome. Glad I found your channel
Thanks buddy...feel free to share.
Awesome editorial. I have 3 Echo dots and just picked up my first Google Home Mini. Strongest argument I've heard so far.
Thanks appreciate you checking out the video and channel.
I've Just bought a mini after watching this informed and well presented video, sir
You just made one of the best purchases this year...no doubt you will enjoy it. Thanks for checking out the channel. Feel free to subscribe and make sure you check out my recent video where I talk about a GIVEAWAY I have running right now.
I am very glad that I have waited until I did the research and talked to people who know about both the mini and the dot. Like you I am going with google. I am an android user anyway, and always have been.
Outstanding video CKid! I've watched dozens of these videos trying to decide which way I want to go, Amazon or Google. You made that decision easy! Thanks again!
Thanks glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching...feel free to share this with friends.
I was so confused between two and what to choose but u made it clear and help me make my decision
Going with Google 😎
+Nandakisore Sreekanth thanks glad you found it helpful. Appreciate you checking me out. Feel free to follow me on Instagram @ckid86
Thank you. You definitely helped me make up my mind between the two.
No problem...thanks for checking out the channel. Feel free to share this video with your friends. Also make sure you're subbed to the channel got my '1 Week of CKid Christmas' Giveaway coming up starting next week. Video dropping tomorrow on further details.
u actually can flow...luv the opening and closing!
Appreciate you checking me out.
Hands down, best intro on RUclips
+Raphael Shay thanks 🙏🏾. Appreciate you checking me out. 😉
I am still trying to decide between these two devices and I appreciate your insight. I already use Google Assistant with my Galaxy S phone, and love it. I also use Google for email, navigation, searching, images, calendar, lists, appointments, and so much more, that I am really leaning towards the Google Home. Great video!
Thanks for watching...I appreciate it. That's how I was, I figured I used Google for everything it only made sense to go the Google Home Mini and Google Home route. Let me know which one you decide. Feel free to share this video.
I LOVED my Echo Dot, but I just HAD to upgrade to Google home mini. Responses are better. Multi room speaker function, individualized voice recognition, and I just watched your other video and found out if handles 2 commands in one.
Yea the two commands is definitely a huge bonus.
Love my Google Home Mini. Got it for free which makes it even better. Sometimes I have trouble setting music alarms but I guess it's the phrases I have to get down. Other than that it's pretty awesome.
Intro and Outro made me smash that Subscribe button.
Also, best video in helping me decide.
Dope appreciate the support. Thanks...feel free to share.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The information was well thought out and very well conveyed. For Christmas this year I received the Home Mini and the Dot. This video helped with the questions of which one do I want to use. Thank you CKid.
That's odd as we use routines and "Good morning" phrases on the Amazon Echo Dot in the UK. Most of the time the Google Mini just looks up stuff on the web or Wikipedia, whereas Alexa actually seems to answer questions. I've also found that asking the same questions for Months on the Google Mini and she still has no clue, but after a week Alexa suddenly supports your question or command, plus if you message Feedback they can add stuff to the queue, where Google isn't interested.
We have had an Echo for eight months, but got Pixel 2s in December and Home Mini last month. Your reasoning for switching to Google is spot on. Someone else commented how when you speak to Alexa you have to repeat yourself. Totally agree. Google's AI is far superior.
👌🏾
This is by far the best video that truly explains why I should go with google! Subscribed!
Thanks appreciate you checking out the channel and subbing. #humble #salute
I have the google home mini, echo dot and a HomePod.
The Google Home mini is the best smart speaker.
I just purchased the Google Max and a Phillips starter kit, largely based on the info you provided in this video. I think Google goes a little beyond what Alexa can offer, and it is constantly evolving. Thanks for the great info. Liked and subbed.
Thanks for checking me out...Yea you are right, Google Assistant is constantly evolving and just becoming the perfect AI ecosystem for homes today.
You like the hue & Max?
First video, I've ever watched from this guy; and his intro lowkey fire
Thanks buddy...I updated the intro...check out some of my recent videos (dropped one today) and let me know what you think about the NEW INTRO! Appreciate you watching!
I have an Echo Dot that I bought months ago when they were on sale and have that hooked up to a bunch of smart plugs. I did just get a Google Home Mini though with my Pixel 2 purchase so I need to play around with that more as I really haven't used it much, but now I have both.
Thank you I'm literally in the store and you helped me so much.
I appreciate your review and rationale. Not a fan-boy for either company, you gave specific, detailed reasons why you have the opinion you do. I subscribed so I can hear your voice give these level headed reviews. Keep up the good work!
Excellent opinion, and I completely agree.
Thanks appreciate you checking out the channel and video. Feel free to share this video with friends and family. #TeamCKid
Came across your channel researching the Google Home products. I just committed to the Google Home Mini (4) and the Google Home Hub. Great job. Subscribing!!
Thanks bro appreciate that. When you get a chance check out my latest video.
Also try connecting ifttt very quickly with Google home and it makes your assistant much better. Google home is much better
+Somaro Jamie definitely one of my favorite things to play with is IFTTT. Most definitely a awesome addition to the Google Home devices.
+Somaro Jamie thanks for watching and checking out the channel.
CKid
Can you make a video about how IFTTT can be use to make it better? I am still trying to understand how an average person, with simple (stupid) devices such as myself, can benefit from adding IFTTT
For the google home can it use multiple Spotify accounts say one for me and one for my partner then we both have access to our playlists depending on whos voices does the command?
Thank you so much for all the information. I’ve been struggling with which mini device to buy my daughter. Google or Amazon. Though they weren’t the focus of this video, you touched on a lot of points such as RUclips being unavailable for Amazon, and how google focuses more on the hardware so you don’t have ten devices that do almost the same thing!
Thank you. You make a great point.
Thanks for watching and checking out the channel. Feel free to subscribe and share this video on your social platforms
I'm getting ready to get my first smart speaker and begin a smart home setup. This video (and others on your channel) have been VERY helpful in deciding between Google Home and Alexa. Thanks for all your research and info! Really appreciate your content! Think I'm gonna go Google... :)
very well thought out and well said, thanks
Wondering if you need a certain t.v. to control it from your Google home mini?
I’ll have to see the mini in person. Does have a3.5 jack. This would allow me to connect it to my sound bar. Unless it has Bluetooth. I’ve also noticed a google audio device that one would hook up to their TV
It does not have a 3.5mm jack but if you get the Chromecast Audio then it will allow your to bluetooth connect to your sound bar you are wanting it to connect to. The Chromecast you could use to hook up to your TV, and the Chromecast Audio you can use to hook up to your soundbar.
My question can you use Tidal or Napster with Google home without needing bluetooth?
Loved your quick and to the point evaluation of the two products. I generally hate Amazon for everything but wanted to at least look at the Amazon dot as I seek to purchase an in home device. You made my choice easy.
Thanks Sue. Glad I was able to help. Feel free to share this video with friends.
Thanks for checking out the channel.
Very informative. Great video for anyone in the market.
Thanks I appreciate it. Thanks for checking out the channel. Feel free to share this with friends and family.
Thank you for a clear concise explanation. Very helpful.
Sure thing. Feel free to share.
I went ahead and got Alexa because I got caught up in all the hype, but you make some good points. Suscribing
You did a great job. Great intro, great review! Keep up the great work!
Thanks bro appreciate you checking out the channel. Feel free to share. #humble
You sir have just found a new fan. Before black Friday I decided Google home mini was the way to go, but it sucks that all the cool accessories (i.e. docks) are for the echo dot
Thanks I appreciate you checking out the channel and rocking wit me. And don't worry you made the right choice by choosing the Google Home Mini product. There will be swing of those cool accessories coming out for Google's AI products within the next year as they are taking up some serious market share. Feel free to share this video :) #humble
Thank you for your in depth coverage and opinion between the Echo and Google Home.
After 4 years of using the Amazon Echo, I find myself leaning more towards the Google Home of late because of the same reasons you mentioned.
The final straw recently came when Echo just disabled the communications features like Call, Message and Drop In. (I live outside the US). Meanwhile Google Home is making huge inroads into the rest of the world without restrictions, unlike Amazon Echo which is still limited to use in the US and UK.
I think I'll be going for Goggle Home. The power of Google search and it's leading services ...and your video has reinforced my decision to switch.
Cheers...Paul
I just switched to the Google Home Mini after 4 years using the Echo. I was thinking of switching more than a year ago, but the Skills in Google was greatly limited.
Then, I recently discovered that Google's list of 3rd party skills had grown significantly. I found the Nanoleaf in there, Logitech Harmony which weren't there before. Looks like everyone's in there now.
Also, I find the microphones on the Google Home Mini far more sensitive and responsive to my voice than the echo dot.
I like your reason for not preferring the echo because of what Google did but I use it as an excuse not to use Google mini. The internet is supposed to be free and what Google did was very underhanded. I've been using the echo for a year now and have lots of different TP Link controllers and I also have the Echo Show and I use it for accessing my external cameras but watching RUclips videos was very disappointing on it because the screen resolution was so disappointing. I really don't consider it much of a loss
Nice work! RUclips being pulled was the reason I've not gone with Amazon.
Thanks for this video bro. It allowed me to really figure out the differences between the Google & Amazon home automation products. I'm definitely going with Google on this one being that I already have the Chromecast and love Google's echosystem when it comes to automation!!!!
No problem bro. Appreciate you checking out the channel. #humble 🙏🏾
Great Video, tons of information, took your advice and went with Google and happy I did....Love to you...Love to all...Kitten
Sorry , the show does more than ( you tube ) ! It works with the ring doorbell, cooking recipes, plays movies , shows weather forecast , you can make calls more and more.
cindy pantoja but Cindy that’s to many choices for you so forget vision cause it’s to much to see and hear things...just hearing is the way it should be cause it shows that google is concentrating on their ai more. I’m with you Cindy...we have vision :)
I had to buy Roku stick to replace my Amazon fire stick because of the lost of RUclips from Amazon. Thanks for the information of the Echo. I was considering purchasing one, but that has now changed.
Love the intro and how you kept it on point. Lots of facts and very relatable. Good luck as you come up. I just subscribed, liked and shared.
I bought Google home mini two days and today I watched your videos. I have never been so happy. Btw that freestyle rap was awesome. Love your work bro
+Vegito_ Blue thanks 🙏🏾 appreciate it
So, I was offered one or the other as a gift, 2nd Gen Amazon Echo or Google Home. The features that are most important to me are playing Pandora, calling my contacts, checking the weather, setting alarms/timers and random Google searches. I like the voice recognition and casual tone of the Google, but I like the sleekness of Alexa and like saying "Alexa." Which do you suggest?
So I'm a new comer to all this .Trying to buy my first. I have a voice issue and need it to recognize the little voice I have . So this was very helpful ty
Sure thing glad I could help. Thanks for checking out the channel. Consider subscribing if you like what you saw 🙏🏾. Also I have a giveaway going on right now you can still enter. To enter check out my most recent video.
Excellent review packed with pertinent information
I got the Amazon Echo as a gift and I really liked it but wow can Alexa frustrating sometimes and tbh I really don't like using the Alexa app. You made some really good points, thank you for this video.
No problem. Thanks for checking out the channel. Feel free to share this video.
I agree with you about the Echo Show. Losing RUclips support (which was inevitable, given the fact that Google has a competing product) was a really heavy blow.
But i don't think you can make the same case for the audio devices. I see a lot more reason to use Alexa-based devices, specifically because of the attention that Amazon puts on the hardware side.
The Google Home Mini needs a line out jack and real Bluetooth support to compete with the Dot. And while, yes, Amazon doesn't have the same degree of control over the software, Amazon's decision to allow others to develop for Alexa means there's a *lot* of software out for it. That arguably makes Alexa devices more useful overall, even though you can't use Alexa devices for RUclips.
+Brian Hartman you make some great points. The Google Home and Mini both need to have line outs but you know these companies have to find a way to market their other products. It’s unfortunate. Great and valid points overall thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
I wouldn't be surprised to see anti competition litigation if Google are blocking services because you bought one device and not another. will they also be blocking iphones and other 3rd party devices? I think not.
Expect some convergence and licencing agreements eventually.
you can use a chromecast audio to get around the audio jack issue. theres not alot of situations where I would want to use an Audio out on the home mini franckly where the chromecast audio wouldn;t fit the bill.
Informative video, thank you Ckid. Please tell about the total cost, besides Internet & electricity costs.
For music, do I have to pay for a subscription?. For Amazon's device, do I have to sign-up for Prime service?
Can I play my mp3 recordings from my desktop?. Which has powerful speakers? Can any device handle & operate in 2 or even 3 languages in the family?.
Enjoy this video and I agree greatly. I switched from amazon to google.
Thanks and welcome to the dark side...haha. Thanks for watching and feel free to share this video.
Thanks for the review. Great video.
Thanks for the review!
Didn't even get out of your into before I hit like and subscribe. Love it!
I like the introduction to your videos 🌹👍😎❤️
Thanks...I'm currently working on another one for this year...stay tuned for that in future videos.
So, I have a question that I haven't seen an answer for.
I'm thinking of getting some Google home minis as xmas gifts for family members. They all have iPhones and use Amazon prime for purchases and Amazon video (as well as netflix) through their Firesticks.
With all the crap going on between the two companies, does Google home mini provide interface to Amazon prime services and Firestick streaming?
andrendenum1 if they're in the Amazon ecosystem it's best to go with an echo. No it doesn't integrate with Amazon prime.
Thank you sir. Some of the benefits of being able to continually respond to the google assistant are nice but this information is helpful in the decision making. The Echo Dot is a nice, cheap alternative (right now) until we see the final, released iteration of Apple Homepod gen. 1, though, I'm even leery of how that's going to go. Thanks
They must have really listened to you! I just got my dot about a week ago, and I can do everything that you have mentioned on it… With out any other apps or anything… All in the Alexa app
The power of the channel and the platform...thanks for watching. Feel free to share.
Great comparison very informative
This video is so informative and concise! Very helpful!
Can you tell me anything more about how well the Google Home can work as an actual personal assistant? If I set my schedule in google calendar, can the Google Home alert me to tasks on scheduled times? Or do you have to ask it with a prompt what's next on your schedule? Thanks!
+Vasara Muse it works very well with Google apps. You just have to ask it “what’s my day looking like” and it will provide you a rundown of your calendar for that day. Thanks for watching appreciate you checking me out.
Great video! Don’t like being forced to listen to rap before I get the info. If it were briefer I would not have to fast forward the video past it.
A simple compromise for people who like rap music and those who don’t, Shorten it. Or not. It’s your show.
Did you contact Amazon about returning the Show after youtube was removed?
No I didn't but that's actually not a bad idea. But I'm sure they would come up with some reason why it's not returnable.
Possibly. If you made enough of a stink you could probably get them to take it back. Anyway, good luck if you try.
Great video! Loved your intro and outro. It was on POINT! I'm a tech creator too. I'm definitely a subscriber from here on! Keep up the good work.
+Melvin Thompson thanks I appreciate you checking out me out and subbing and becoming a part of Team CKid. I’ll check your channel out.
Very persuasive. You make a lot of good points. I own devices from both companies. The most frustrating part of Google is that my Google home will often answer when I am trying to get a search result in my phone. I have to remember to physically activate Google on my phone rather than using the trigger words. Also, last time I checked it wasn't working with my TP link smart plugs to control my lamps. Amazon is great for placing calls to friends and family who also use Amazon devices, ordering through Amazon, and getting shipment updates from Amazon. Finally, I find it easier and more convenient to say, Echo, Amazon, or Alexa, than Hey Google or Okay Google. Google is much better at answering questions. You've convinced me.to plug in my Google Home and give it another try. Ultimately, I'll probably end up using both, I have an Echo, Echo Dot, Google Home, and Google Home Mini. It's expensive, but you get the best of both worlds, and the government gets to know you a little bit better having more microphones in your house. 😉
Thanks for checking out the channel. You can use these smart plugs. TanTan Smart Plug Mini Wi-Fi Enabled Outlet (2-Pack)
amzn.to/2DsVHGC they are much better and the best smart plugs I recommend for Google Home. You won’t be disappointed. Feel free to share this video.
I too have mostly switched to the google home products because the speaker on the Home Mini is 10 times better than the speaker on the Echo Dot. I haven't completely made the switch because there is currently no Siriusxm support on the Google Home products. Although I found out that I can pair my Dot to my Mini and it works great.
Thank you for your insight on this
No problem...glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and please feel free to share.
CKid I just did. I sent it to girlfriend to see what she thinks and if we should make the switch
Very well articulated! You have a new sub for sure. Thanks man!
just bought an echo dot... barely used it. struggling to find any use for it.
Great review, may be just the one I needed. Got a new house and think of starting to make it a little smart (once internet service hey down my street, whole other conversation) but still on the fence of which assistant base I want to start with (eventually maybe growing to a hub, etc.). Thanks again, keep the good info coming and think I'll order me a mini.
+Michael Holland hey Michael thanks for checking me out. First off congrats on the new Home. If I were you and your looking to get a new assistant base that would have more practical uses I would recommend the Google Home or Home Mini. I would start out with one or two Home Mini’s just to see how you like them. Then if you enjoy those then in your main living space you can upgrade to the Google Home ad if your looking for that music speaker then there is the Google Max, which honestly you could get but I do believe for the average consumer like you and me it’s a bit pricey for a Bluetooth speaker for the untrained ear. But it is a Hi-Fi system so your paying for that sound quality but I just think there are just as great Bluetooth speakers out there that won’t break the bank at the cost of the Google Max $399. But if you got it why not. Haha. Appreciate you checking me out feel free to share this video.
I'm also in the process of building a new home. You may also want to look into Control 4.
+lagrande42 @Michael yes I would agree with him check out that Control 4. It’s something solid to look at.
Good video and opinion. I bought both to try them out. I will be returning the Google mini because I was not aware that it does not connect to other speakers. It does not have a audio jack connection and it does not connect via Bluetooth. Echo does.
Yes, absolutely . .
Doom Doom Chromecast Audio is a cheap addon to the mini to get maximum benefit
Just add Chromecast audio usually 25 bucks on sale to any speaker or device and Google home or mini can broadcast through it. Google home and mini is so much more intuitive than the amazon products. Bluetooth btw is a very spotty way of sending audio. Just ask any audiophile....
the mini acts as a chrome cast receiving device and can also transmit to other chromecast audio devices (either other minis or speakers hooked up to chrome caset audio). there is no need for bluetooth. chromecast audio is much better both in range and quality. chromecast audio is awesome actually.
It is bluetooth .check again because I i use it all the time
Dope video, very informative.
+Kazuya179 thanks
I am considering a google home .. or mini .I have iphone is it worthwhile for me .I do not have smart house but do have smart TV
Your thoughts
I personally use an iPhone with my Google Home and mini's. I think it is worth it for sure because of having that Google Search engine it can handle way more than Alexa and Siri. Check out my recent video I did on the Lenovo Smart Display which is the competitor to the Echo Show where they partnered with Google to have Google Assistant built in - ruclips.net/video/ri0S_MYeRx0/видео.html
Very helpful
Glad I could help. Feel free to share
Don't know what kind of lighting your using, But it makes your eyes look wild! Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
I received an echo dot last year for Christmas. It sat mostly untouched on the shelf, until I decided to outfit my apartment with Philips Hue smart bulbs. It was the most obscenely complicated process to set up, and I still couldn't get individual bulbs/rooms to work independently of one another. After doing some further research, I decided to utilize the google platform, purchasing two google dots and one google home. While the process of making philips hue work with google still had quirks, they were easily ironed out by trial and error. It took me about an hour to figure out google instead of the day and a half wasted on the amazon echo, with little success. I was even able to install a wemo plug to put my Christmas Tree on a timer as well.
Google Home still seems unsophisticated at this point, but so did Gmail and Maps when they started. I would rather bet my smart home on the future potential of google than on amazon, simply for the reasons you stated, and the experiences I went through. Amazon has a cleaner interface (and less goofy looking speaker design), but Google is improving function over style daily, something that has always set them apart for me over the years.
Trust me I initially had those same struggles with the Echo dots when setting up my lights. With google Home mini it was much simpler to get up and running. Thanks for checking out the channel. Appreciate you. Feel free to share this video with friends and family. 🙏🏾
Thanks for the great video. Intro is original and great. New subscriber!
Thanks appreciate that 🙏🏾. Feel free to share this video as it really helps out the channel.
Will do!
Thinking of switching myself. Ty
You won't regret it. The speaker is better, the device itself is better and having the Google Search Engine is just the icing on the cake. Thanks for watching. Feel free to sub to the channel and share this video on your social platforms. So we can get others to get on board.
I have the Amazon Echo it works pretty good I haven't tried the Google Home yet. I hear alot of people saying Google is everywhere in media sites. I'm torn between both of them for now
Bought both AI on Black Friday. I dig Amazon. However my wife and I feel like you. Google has the market. I almost returned the Home mini. But we both think it's the future for now. Thanks for confirming our thoughts.
Glad I could help. And way to go on scooping up those awesome Black Friday deals on the Google Home Mini. Smart shoppers I see. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to sub and share. Thanks.
CK, solid analysis of your reasons for switching & a nice 'hook' with the intro. Subscribed. What do you think of their Google Wifi/mesh router?
Thanks MythicParty appreciate you checking me out. Glad you liked the Intro. I personally think the Google Wifi mesh router is legit. I have a couple of people I know who use it and say that it works well. Honestly I believe Mesh Router setups are the way to go if you have a larger home. But if you're in a home of about 1500 soft or less then I think a normal gigabit speed router in combination with a good service provider is a good route to go to. But if you are looking for a solid performance router then the Google Mesh Router system is the way to go. But just keep in mind it is expensive to get but definitely worth it if you have an open home concept within your living space. Too many sectioned off walls in your home can affect any wifi systems regardless if its mesh or not. Appreciate you again and feel free to share this video as it does help out the channel.
I just noticed tonight that Google is starting to allow the word and in its commands so I can now say turn on the bedroom lights and set them to 100%. I have never been able to purchase a Google home product on Amazon. I really don't understand why anyone would go with an Amazon product.
we have both Alexa and Google.. and we use "good morning" and "good night" for routines on Alexa and we love our show for video calls to our son off at college. I watch youtube on my computer and play jeopardy on our Show. the only thing I do prefer on the google is that it uses google search for giving answers and the Alexa uses wikipedia and that is not a reliable source for info. So its actually kind of nice having both.
Amazon Music just disabled feature where you could upload own music. Ability to play uploaded songs on echo without need for subscription fee was only feature I needed. Goodbye Alexa.
Google Play music still allows me to do this. Hello google.
Since switching to google home - I find web searches work a LOT better than with echo. Its a killer feature I didn't know I needed.
