Product review: Google Home Smart Speaker

Published on May 3, 2017

Google Home is noticeably smaller than its chief competition - the Amazon Echo - but in many ways, it bests the Echo at delivering a better Smart Home/Smart Speaker experience.

For reasons that include: Design, Google Assistant, Functionality and Casting, Google Home is one of our favorite smart speakers.

Google Home has definitely made the smart speaker race interesting.

When deciding which smart speaker to buy, consider the services you use - rather than the speaker itself. If you like Amazon Music and take advantage of the shopping integration Alexa offers, the Echo is a better match. But if you use Google for your mail, calendar and other online tools, Home becomes an invaluable extension of your digital existence.
