Google Nest or Amazon Echo?

Hello!

Learn More

I’m thinking of getting a virtual assistant for the home. I recently had some interaction with Alexa Echo and quite liked how it helped me. I’m excited by the idea that I can just tell it to add something to a shopping list. I’ve read Alexa can’t do some skills in Australia. Anyway, does anyone have a preference for Google nest or Amazon Alexa?

I’ve been using Google Nest for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s been pretty great.

We have a google nest. It works quite well except we have to yell at it sometime cause it doesn’t understand us. But I love being able to say turn off all the lights without getting out of bed. It definitely works better with android then it does apple.

I would always suggest it comes down to what you use most in tech. If you have an apple phone, you may find Alexa easier as Google tends to work better with Android products to help link them etc. We have Alexa and love her – very useful for shopping lists, playing music, timers etc and my toddler can use it as well. I havent found a skill that I need is missing but everyone will be different

I love our Google nest but that’s because our whole house is Google.

No, but I’d recommend you think very carefully about the privacy issues for either.

I have no experience myself and would seek the opinion of others by online searches

I haven’t tried Alexa but our Google nest is great and has some fun features to play around with. Our kids love asking it questions on educational topics of all sorts.

I don’t use these products, but if I was, I’d go for google. Simply because their products are used more in everyday life and should be more compatible.
