  • I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also Newest.Technology, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.
  • I really like how the Google Nest Mini looks like. The voice assistant works pretty well with both the speakers..
  • Alexa improves so much, so frequently. She responds to VERY casual language, and takes into the context your previous question, to the point where sometimes it's almost like we have a small conversation lol. Google Assistant uses the Google Search engine which is a big benefit. Sometimes the top result isn't what you're asking for though... Still, it's nice. That said, Alexa's knowledge base is getting really good. She knows WAY more than when I got it a couple years ago. I asked her a really obscure question the other day and she knew. The dot also has a decent speaker, for a small mono source. I just got a free Nest from Spotify so I guess I'll have two ladies in my life now :)
  • @ElfyMango
    You have so much information and it helped seal the deal for myself to get a google mini. I do want the nest but the price difference is what caught me. Thank you for having detailed info for both. It helps a ton.
  • @tallmaine
    I like the clarity of your review. Subscribed.
  • @Whole_Note
    I got both Echo Dot and Google Home Mini (back when that was the name) about the same time. At first, I preferred Google because of the access the search functionality. Over time, I have gone all in on Alexa because of the insane diversity of the Echo line.
  • Wow! I'm glad Google pushed this video recommendation on my feed. There's so much to learn here. I have been a user and fan of the Echos and Alexa assistant and wanted to try out the Google Assistant and ecosystem. I have learned so much on the channel that i placed an order for the Nest Mini on Walmart.
  • @randomdude1053
    I have both but got into the Amazon Alexa sphere because my house came with ecobee thermostats (with Alexa in the thermostat itself) and my Ring Alarm/Doorbell kit works with and came with Alexas as well. Personally, Alexa feels more robotic at times, but the Echo Dot has a more rich bass-heavy sound. So it really depends on what your ecosystem is for most usefulness.
  • @lilaclilly198
    Hello just viewed your video. My son bought me Amazon Alexa Dot. In May this year. For my birthday. At first I was puzzled 🤨 But since I got the app on my phone, well now it’s a game changer😀. I love the sound quality! I love it! Best thing ever.... The only negative would be she doesn’t alway have a precise answer to a question. Which can be frustrating. She is my new bestie🙏🏻
  • @youallandme
    After watching your videos, I am very clear about the products and just need to buy. Thank you very much for your time and information.
  • I like how Alexa is shorter than hey google or okay google, but I feel like the google assistant is generally better than Alexa.
  • @G_RAThbun
    I have both of these items and they're both in storage. Because I'm building a brand new house and we've been living in an RV for almost 3 years. Your video was very helpful on which one I think I want to drag out of storage. For the new house and its security system.
  • @tomm5517
    Thanks josh, i usually work with Google, so I have the new nest/Google mini. I have one older mini and the full size original assistant speaker. But i always love these reviews. Keep them coming, i send them to all my friends and relatives. They like seeing them and some have started to follow you . Keep up the good work.
  • @paulandrew6457
    4:34 They must sound different in person because online the Echo Dot is the clear winner on sound. When it switches to the Mini it sounds like a very small speaker that's overloaded
  • @robertwoodland
    I use a google nest hub, have got on really well with it, and love the integration with other google products like photos.
  • @oliversmith7354
    I have used the Amazon echo dot and I think it's one of the best home devices which is very affordable as well. Mediatek and Amazon make for a good team
  • @jamiedraper8031
    As I currently still living under my parent's room, the household uses Alexa so we have Echo dots and Alexa's and Echo Shows around the house but I have a Nest Hub in my room as I just prefer the Google ecosystem with the integration with my phone, Google Maps and YouTube etc. Both Assistants are amazing and would definitely recommend both to anyone want a smart speaker or to step into an eco-system but personally I would rather use Google products. It just depends on what you're looking for.
  • @geangarcia2673
    I have the Google nest mini because it was sent to me for free. I love its specific answers! Also, being wall-hangable saves on outlet space 😁
  • I have a friend that has the Amazon version. I myself prefer the Google. I currently have 2 Google hubs, a Google home, a Google mini, 18 smart bulbs and 4 smart plugs. I use the Google assistant every day. From using the alarm to wake me up, adding to my grocery list, asking the time, using the speakers as an intercom... And the list goes on. I love it. I even bought my dad a Google hub and smart bulbs for fathers day because he expressed an interest. Lol
  • @eyevincast5440
    You can adjust the treble and bass on the google mini through the app......I don’t remember how it’s been a while but it sounds soooooo much better when you adjust it and pretty punchy for such a tiny thing
