Overall, Google is still the better choice. Alexa, being an Amazon item is geared towards driving towards Amazon products with answers. Google has the search power of the internet without being tied to a single sales based site. Cheers! ~Mike

Great video but Google home tells me jokes all the time... I can play games with it and so on. I'm not sure what's up with yours.

I love how enthusiastic you are it makes people more interested

I asked my Google mini all the same questions that you did and mine gave me straight answers. This makes me question the validity of the comparison. But some good information on both devices. Will there be a follow up video?

Yeah I have a google home and I don’t have any of the issues that were shown in this video. It always answers questions well, I think it was way overstated how much smarter Alexa was. Kind of disappointed how poorly prepared this video was, a quick read anywhere you would know the volume controls are touching on either side of the 4 dots.

B.s review. How much did Amazon pay you?

I love my Amazon Echo. Glad you showed us side-by-side! Thanks, Matt!

Alas, I long for the days of unbiased Deal Guy! No preference here, right Matt? Amazonworld forever! 🇨🇦

You can hear the difference in the voices of alexa and google home mini. The google system sounds a lot more natural. Where the alexas voice sounds very computer generated and fake

Very 1 sided, towards Amazon. I've owned Google home for many months and compared to my friends Echo, google kills Echo.

Matt has the best job ever. So fun!

I have an echo and three dots that control a lot of devices in the home...love them.

Very one sided. Google home and the google home mini uses the google search engine. Alexa uses bing. When was the last time anybody used bing to search anything? Google home and the mini is 1000 times better. Alexa is a cheap product built just to make money

Matt, who won the last one where the winner was clipped out?

I have an Echo, Echo Dot, and Google Home. Comparing the Echo and Google Home I prefer the Echo, but not by much. They both seem pretty comparable. Sometimes one will answer a question the other can't, and vice versa. I actually enjoy having both. Great video as always.

Hello :) I am an old guy disabled veteran and I do not know much about putters so I watched the deal guy and WOW he was great explaining the google mini and the amazon echo dot :) I do not listen to music much so I thought the amazon echo dot would be good form me ;) Thank you Deal Guy I just subscribed to you :) Stay well and God Bless

I don't understand the echo/dot so I think I would go with google - I know it will get better.

This was aimed toward amazon the test was pointless. I don't own either one of them, but it's common knowledge that google has been around forever so there is no way that amazon would have more information. I'm not sure what kind of test this is, but you would have to do some serious work to get the answer from the echo that you couldn't get from google mini.

I really want both of these products! Great vid. Thank you!

They both seem good, I’m loving the echo dot currently.

Sounds like a guy that has Echo since the beginning and favors it a lot more so than Google. Maybe read the instructions it'll tell you where the buttons are on the Google

I have Home, Dot and now added Mini to my collection. IMHO it is the crappiest device of all. First, shape of the power adapter sucks becuase it takes to much space when plugged to the standard power strip (adapter covers part of tge additional outlet). Second, good luck using generic USB charger or micro USB cable with Mini. Third, people like things to play music loud (me too). But what about the lowes volume setting? Dot set to volume level 1 can be further lowered by up to 3 notches which makes it more suited to play music for a bed time. Try to fall asleep while playing music at lowest volume level on Mini (even playing lullabys for a baby). Fourth, Dot has more buttons (Google took functionality from the top button out of the Mini recently). I can shut music immediatelly off on Dot, while with Mini I have to shout when music plays loud or lower the volume first and then turn the music off. And last, this is actually big plus for Echo: If you have Android phone with Google Assisstant, simply pair it with Echo Dot using Bluetooth. Now you can use all Google's Assisstant features with Echo Dot (through your phone) by saying "OK Google".

I love this guy’s enthusiasm I just had to subscribe

So glad you did this - I was just considering this purchase!

I would like the google home mini please it would really change my life

It might help me because I'm lonley 😂

Congrats David! You are a lucky winner.

Thanks for helping me decide Matt!!

let me win!! damn it. still love you though

I prefer Google home.

Matt, thanks for your video. I just got a Google home Mini, and I have been using a friend's Alexa for months. I have 3 chromecasts, so I chose Google over buying a Firestick. I have been programming my own actions, and I can make Google home do anything the Alexa can do. Put of the box I can turn my TV on and off, play Netflix, KZfaq Movie, CBS, HBO, Vicki, Spotify, Google Music, directly to my Chromecasts. I have my Google Home Mini directly attached to my sound bar through Bluetooth. I get the advantage of Google Search intelligence instead of Bing. The sound on the Mini alone is as good as the Echo tower, but I couldn't connect his tower to a Bluetooth speaker. In your video, you mentioned several times early on that Alexa is clearly better, but then you did not demonstrate that in the video. I like Alexa, and I realize they are ahead of the game, but I have not found one thing the Mini couldn't do that that the Alexa could.

Great deals!!! I love your job/work you do it makes our lives much easier. Thanks

Actually google is more intelligent

"I'm gonna race the both of these... The Dot is about 8 seconds slower in terms of startup but who really cares?" Um, yo. I do. "It's the performance that really matters." Um, yo. That counts as performance that matters to me. I'm out.

these are over my head! Thanks for the comparison!

Thanks for this review- think the Google Mini is the one Id choose

OMG your amazing.... ever since the google one came out I've really wanted to know exactly what your covering in this vid. I have the Alexa. So thanks for all your hard work. Your the best!

Have the dot. ...Really like it. Now I will add speaker, thanks!

Hi Matt! I really like the comparison videos, and appreciate all the deals and bargains you share. Thanks!

Hi Matt! We are very happy with our Echo dots!

I'm in the process of buy one of these. This was very helpful ... Thank you.

Thanks for the info Matt!! I have been looking at both.

Hey Matt! Love your videos! I didn't know you won an Emmy! That's awesome!

Thanks for this Matt. :) Was wondering which to get and your videos always help. I prefer the Echo.

Nice review Matt I still can't decide which one to go with.

I definitely like the capabilities of the echo dot more! Thanks for the comparison.

Thanks Matt, I would prefer the fast unit. In my opinion that's the point of the device. If want good sound by a good speaker.

Great video, very informative and really enjoyable. I have both and they each have pros and cons. I've never really compared before.

Hi Matt, I have both the Alexa and dot. Yes, the quality of sound on the dots are not as good, but her intelligence is the winner for me!

I love this comparison. thanks Matt.

I'm kinda digging the Google Home mini. Thanks for a cool review Matt!

I think the smarter one would work better for me right now - great demo Matt !

You are always really good at making me laugh and finding the best deals! I like smarter; so the echo!

This was a very informative video. Thanks Matt!

Awesome! Thinking on buying one of these products by eoy and the video helped! Thanks

wonderful deals the deal guy is the best on KZfaq yay!!

I love a good showdown. Thanks!

Matt. Anxiously awaiting black Friday deals. Can't wait

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this video.

Thanks for this video and info. I've been trying to decide which to buy. Now I've decided to get the dot! Thanks!

Smarter over sound performance---will get Echo. Thanks for helping make my decision!

Fantastic video. I will definitely be grabbing a few

Been trying to make a decision on this idea. You’ve given me some good points to consider - more responsive for me so Amazon

Thank you for the vid! Now I know the one to get my wife for Christmas!

I have the larger echo and the sound is phenomenal. ..so worth the extra money for great sound

Matt you forgot an important point on the DOT, it has Bluetooth along with hardware jack out. I enjoy the DOT more as it ring of lights on top is easy to see it understood the request, also the touch controls are easy to operate.

Such a great product! Maybe one day your random select winner will be me!!

Love this video. Great stuff Matt!

my Alexa is overhearing this and is answering all of the questions

thanks for the home automation video too...I need that!! good comparison test...Smarter!!!

Sooooo... Amazon understands jokes and Google doesn't?! Okay!

Thx for the review...hoping for a black Friday deal on the echo

I have 2 echo dots and I couldn't be happier with them.

I love the echo. Had it for months now and use it daily.

Very informative... I have an echo dot and a Google home... I haven't used my Google home yet. I hope the home does get better, cause I want to use one upstairs and one down.

thanks for comparison - very helpful! right now I prefer better audio

Really looking forward to the Black Friday info!

Just bought one can’t wait!!!

Hi Matt, functionality is more important than sound and you can add speakers to the Echo Dot so it's a non issue. Great deals/video as usual. Glad I bought the Dot! ;-)

You always give us the best of the best

Thank you for this review. I had been wondering if buying an Alexa was something worthwhile

Love my two Echo Dots.... Going to get another oneLove your vids

I have been thinking about trying either Echo or Google. I want it more for home automation/lighting control in my home theater

Thanks a lot for this video. I've been checking out a few others comparisons nd yours was by the far the most helpful.

I just purchased a Google Home Mini today, and I absolutely love it!!!

I would love either!

i love you! your my favorite youtuber!! thanks for everything!!

Smarter! especially since you can plug echo dot into a better speaker. Great segment Matt.

Thanks for this comparison, I have been wondering how the Google Home compared to the Echo.

Have had the Amazon Echo,Tap and Dot for some time now and love them. Each has a different use and reside in different parts of the house. These devices continue to improve and become more important in my daily life. Google is late to the party and although they will improve I would have to give it to Alexa now.

Nice! I lean towards google because most of my media and other stuff sticks there but Alexa sounds great too! Thanks!

Nice....I have the dot exclusively because it has an audio out input

Great video Matt! I also have both Google home and Amazon Alexa. I like both of them for different reasons. Alexa is much smarter than Google Home but Google home does have answers to questions that Alexa doesn't understand.

I have the Dot and wanted the google but after listing to you I think I’ll stay with the Dot. Thanks. Matt.

I don't need either the Google Home or Alexia. I just say: Tony, look up this or that on Google ... Tony, change the channel to PBS ... Tony, what am I doing tomorrow ... Tony, get me a beer.

Wow such energy

Matt, thanks for the comparison on the google mini and the echo dot!! I like the echo dot better.

I like the more responsive product. The Amazon echo has the edge. Love the channel, great job!

Still not sure which I'd prefer. Lots of people that have the Google Mini love it and don't have the same issues you had in testing.

Woooow, they're both great devices. But Alexia has my heart. Initially the whole idea of having such a multi-purpose device is not just to listen music, but to be able to perform additional functions at a rapid pace. Amazon Echo Dot was winning from the start.
