Google Home: Should You Buy?

Google is so much a part of our lives we take it for granted. They have control of the search engines and maps. Also, if you have a Droid, thank Google. If you watch You Tube, thank Google for that. Now there’s Google Home: Should you buy?

So Google Home is a voice speaker system. You use it to control appliances, help you with chores and it will answer small questions. Does this sound familiar? It should. That’s because Amazon Echo does the same thing. But what, if anything, makes Google Home different? And is the investment worth it?

Google Home costs $130. The set up is easy. Download the app to your device and plug in the two. It plays music through various sources. Just let Google know what song you’re in the mood for. Furthermore, Google Home keeps you up to date with all the latest events. Just ask. However, if it’s videos you want, you better stick with You Tube. Because that’s about the only access you’ll get through Google Home. In one review, a man asks some pretty cool questions. The device answered. But it’s Google, so what do you expect? Consequently,? Home works with Samsung, Phillip Hue, and Nest products only. Surprise surprise: Those are all Google based entities. Finally, the Google voice name, hold on to your hats for this one: Google Assistant.

First of all, Google has some of the greatest minds of the world. Surely they can come up with a better name than Google Assistant. Others have Siri, Echo and Alexa? Can’t they come up with a better name? But Google Home is competitive. It offers a great home device and at a great price. If you’re a die hard Google fan, get the product. But if you’re an Amazon or Apple fan, why bother? And if you think Google dominates your life enough already (like I do), then don’t get this product. So should you buy Google Home?
