I bought this as my second Newest.Technology device for my living room. I LOVE having them around my house. Especially with the smart plugs! During Christmas it has been so great to tell Alexa when to turn the Christmas lights on and off.
My Google Home mini has gone off without being spoken to. So both devices have a tendency to be awaken accidentally. I prefer my Amazon Echo devices. I am in the US so I do have more features than do users outside of the US.
In india currently google home is nowhere near amazon echo.. Echo has better features and compatibility
