REVIEW
We do not presume to know your budget, but if
you were planning to pay several hundred pounds on
a home audio system or new speaker system anyway
we’d suggest you instead look to the Mini. Multi-
room audio support means you could have one in the
kitchen, one in the lounge, another in the bedroom
and even one in the landing, still with change from
£200. You could then blast your favourite tunes
throughout the house, or control smart-home tech
such as lights and heating from wherever you stand.What is the Google Home Mini?
For the uninitiated this is an important question. In
its most basic form the Google Home Mini is a small
speaker, but not a portable one since it is always-on
and needs to be plugged in via its Micro-USB port at
all times. If you wanted to, you could use it simply for
playing music from your phone or tablet.
