Life can be chaotic, but fortunately there are several great tech innovations to make it easier — case in point: Google Home Mini.

The Google Home Mini, powered by Google Assistant, is just that — a personal assistant offering hands-free help with everything from weather and traffic to shopping lists, schedules and more.

Ask your Google Home questions while you cook or for the latest scores; ask it to play your favorite Spotify station or to stream an audiobook; and even ask it to play your favorite movie or show via Google Chromecast. The built-in assistant feature helps you maintain your calendar, set reminders, call Uber and more.

It also partners with more than 1,000 smart-home devices from more than 150 brands, like Honeywell, Nest and Frigidair, to control your home’s temperature; and TP-Link and Philips Hue to control lights. It also works with several home security companies and products — ideal for frequent travelers.

The product is praised by music lovers for its quality speaker, and its modest price tag ($39.99–49.99) and multiple, convenient features and functions make it a great investment. The mini comes in three colors: chalk, charcoal and coral.
