Just an FYI the Google Home Mini does not have 3.5mm audio jack, so you can't hook up nicer speakers to it..

However it'll cast stuff to any Chromecast device you have — including your Smart TV and the Chromecast audio listed here.

    Wow $300+ is the Netgear Orbi thing that effective?

        Just to clarify, the reviewed Orbi is the more expensive version with the router & full satellite ( which I currently own and can fully recommend ).

        • txchou on 03/11/2017 - 12:01

      I have the AC3000. Yes it's expensive but it does what it promises, to give you fast and complete wi-fi coverage around a large home.

      You would only need it if your NBN box is at the front in the garage, you don't have an ethernet cable to the middle of the house and you wanted 90Mbps while sitting in the backyard :)

      I paid $440 for the AC3000 in one of the ebay promotions.

        • lostn on 05/11/2017 - 22:58

          Why's that?

          I've lived on less than one so far. I'm only interested since I'm not paying for it.

          I don't even know what applications you can use it for that I can't already do with Google Voice.

          I'm not interested in using it to play music or stream anything.

        • asa79 on 06/11/2017 - 00:57

        • lostn on 07/11/2017 - 21:37

          @asa79: Would you need to buy a bunch of other products to be compatible with it?

          I'm not interested in changing all of my light bulbs to Google light bulbs for example.

        • asa79 on 08/11/2017 - 00:36

          @lostn: If you not willing to change, then it wont do anyting for you.

          https://www.techwalls.com/setup-xiaomi-lights-google-home-as… Xiaomi Yeelight are as little as $10 AUD or $20ish for Colour ones

        • lostn on 08/11/2017 - 20:37

          @asa79: Does the Yeelight need its own switch for you to be able to turn it on with your voice? I've always found that colored light to be very gimmicky. Supports like 16M colors but all I want is cool white.

          One day when everyone's houses are automated and people can't be bothered to get up to flip a light switch, we're all going to be overweight lazy bastards.

    Can you update a link for the chromecast audio?

  • sane on 02/11/2017 - 11:26
    +1

    Note, I think it's still true that the Home won't cast your local music to a chromecast - only streaming services.

    Echo Dot isn't much better - they really want you to sign up to a $10pm service for the rest of your life.

    • Slave1 on 02/11/2017 - 11:42

      When you ask it to “play music” it’ll ask you how you want it to play - through the mini speaker itself, chromecast attached to tv connected to surround or any other speaker if you have a chromecast audio attached to another set of speakers.

      Upload your own music library to Google Music (20 or 50k song limit these days) and play it that way. No need for a subscription if you’re against paying each month.

  • victorteg on 02/11/2017 - 11:38

    Great post! Thanks, I have now ordered for pickup a Home Mini.

  • gadgetguy on 02/11/2017 - 11:39

    Is there much difference between the Mini and the full size one, other than size?

    • Slave1 on 02/11/2017 - 11:42

      No difference in assistant functionality, no.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2017 - 11:44

      Not in terms of google assistance functionalities

      But the full size has much better sound quality (eg. better bass)
      And it is capable to pair as a bluetooth speaker and play music directly from popular music streaming service
      such as spotify, google play music etc.

      • gadgetguy on 02/11/2017 - 11:56

        On the fullsize I am able to tell it to play stuff from my Spotify - are you describing something different?

        • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2017 - 11:58

          this is what I mean, Google home can play music from spotify directly :)

          @kungbernard: You can on the mini as well.

    • scrimshaw on 02/11/2017 - 11:45

      The speaker setup is different. Mini is a single top firing speaker, while the full size one is like bit like a Logitech UE Boom - it spreads sounds in a 360 degree arc.

    • bchliu on 02/11/2017 - 13:47

      Speakers are much different. The Full sized is better (obviously). They only bought the Home Mini out after Amazon's success with their Echo Dot (the mini) and needed to compete against it in price ($50 USD).

  • chromium on 02/11/2017 - 12:04

    Keep getting "Something went wrong. Please try to check out again." when trying to checkout with a Google Home Mini :(

    Tried the website and the app. I buy hundreds of things on eBay and never have issues usually.

    Anyone know what's going on?

      • L0zBargain on 02/11/2017 - 12:18

        I had that once, then tried again and it worked.

        First time I added it to a cart, second time I used the "buy it now" link and that worked.

        • chromium on 02/11/2017 - 12:27

          I've tried like 10 times.

          Tried buying the $20 sandwich press and that worked first go.

          It's an issue with the google home mini. I'm trying click and collect from my local good guys. It says it's in stock, but getting that error.

          Might try a different store, or bite the bullet and pay $5 shipping, but that isn't the ozbargain way :)

    Thanks OP got Charcoal Google mini. My main reasons for buying Mini over Google Home (if anyone is contemplating the same):-
    1. Small Size Factor
    2. Low Power Consumption (Micro USB vs DC Power Supply for Google Home)
    3. I have a Soundbar that is Cast Enabled (I have also heard that the mini will/can also pair with other bluetooth speakers but cannot confirm this)
    4. Almost Half the price of the Cheapest Google Hoe Advertised recently (Google home was sometime back available for $121)

    • L0zBargain on 02/11/2017 - 12:20
      +1

      I actually think it doesn't. I think they're trying to force you to get the Chromecast audio unfortunately.

      It does have BT but only to play audio from your device like a regular BT speaker.

      Thats what I've gathered, but happy to be corrected though.

      • smarter_fool on 02/11/2017 - 12:24

        I suspect you are right but at least if you have cast enabled devices like - Xiaomi Android TV or a soundbar then the decision to buy this is not that bad…I hope :). Only time will tell before my wife spots this button on my entertainment unit.

        • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 02/11/2017 - 13:42

          If its like the regular google home, yeah you can cast to android tv no issues. This is how I listen to music when I tell google assitant to play something, because rather listen on my theatre speakers than the google home speakers.

        • smarter_fool on 02/11/2017 - 17:59

          @so3n: hmm unfortunately Netflix has not allowed google home to play videos on Android TVs like Xiaomi yet. How do I know it.. Just tested it. :

        if he has a soundbar with cast enable you can set another cast audio device as the default audio device.

        so request/commands and reply will always come out of home device but if you ask for audio it will come out of the default audio source

    • chromium on 02/11/2017 - 12:33

      How are you guys getting the mini?

      I've been trying for an hour using click and collect from 2 different stores and get "Something went wrong. Please try to check out again." Every time!

      Tried buying the sandwich press and that worked first go

      • snvl on 02/11/2017 - 13:11

        Something wrong means no stock on that store

        • chromium on 02/11/2017 - 14:20

          It said it was in stock, tried next closest store (8 km instead of 1 km) and that didn't work either.

          Tried again a few times, it eventually worked and I got an email saying it's ready to pick up :)

      • bchliu on 02/11/2017 - 13:49

        I changed stores and got it from the second closest instead. EBay's API is crap (it also does this for Bing Lee as well when they run out of stock).

      portable bluetooth speaker like a UE Boom

      No. The bluetooth on the Home Mini can only be used to stream music from a phone to the mini, but the mini will not stream out to a bluetooth speaker.

      • aurotaro on 02/11/2017 - 13:05

        that's a bummer. I've got a UE Megaboom so it would be a bit pointless to play music on the Mini I guess.

        I've been on the desktop for a while and the cart shows both items removed after the checkout fails. Ebay has been trouble free for many years, but I guess everybody is trying to grab a bargain?

      436 Chalk to 243 Charcoal. I bought 1 of each.
      Chalk for the bedroom where we want lighter colours. Charcoal for in the lounge where you want it to blend. The colour of the original google home is nice too, although you can buy replacement colours, very expensive though.
