When we reviewed the Google Home back in 2016, we really liked it and our opinion of it has only gotten stronger. At the time we said, “Google’s hyper-aware, voice-activated speaker dishes up a lot of surprising answers, and it’s smarter, better sounding, and better looking than Amazon Echo.” Even with the advent of smart displays, Google Home is still a solid option four years later. You can use the Google Home to play music, set alarms, make calls, control smart devices, and even play movies and shows on a Chromecast.
