Is the Google home mini worth it?
Our Verdict
The Home Mini is the cheapest way of buying into the Assistant yet for those looking to buy into Google's smart home ecosystem. While it's a good value for the price, its poor sound performance makes it a better desk buddy than a standalone speaker.
Does Google Mini work without Google home?
Like any Home, the Mini does all the Google Assistant things, and does them all just as well as the original Home. For such a small speaker, it's pretty loud—you can hear it easily from across the room. You mostly won't interact with the Mini itself, but its controls are handy.
