Testimony from Google Assistant users
Our readers who use Google Assistant in their homes praised its reliability, saying they use Google for smart home controls like cooking, asking questions, and turning on lights.
One respondent said, “We have Google displays, speakers, TVs integrated with Google TV, and third-party plugs, bulbs, and the like throughout our home. Just recently, I upgraded to a Google Mesh router. Setting up third-party devices can be a little tricky sometimes, but once everything is working, it’s nice to be able to control everything in the Google Home app.”
Others called Google Assistant “amazing” and said they were “overall very satisfied.” On likelihood of recommendation, Google Assistant scored 8.2 out of 10.
