FORGET Alexa – you can bag a cracking deal on the rival Google Home Mini smart speaker right now.
The price has been dropped to a staggeringly low £13.95 on eBay.

That’s a huge reduction from the original £50 price tag.
It’s manufacturer refurbished, which means it’s not brand new.
But it’s been refurbished by Google, and comes with all the original accessories.
- Google Home Mini at eBay for £13.95 – buy here

It’s being sold by eBay “premium seller” Red Rock UK.
The online retailer has 100% positive feedback with over 34,000 reviews.
And the item is covered by eBay’s Money Back Guarantee if the item doesn’t arrive.
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the Google Home Mini, so it’s a great buy.
It’s also a week before Black Friday, so this is a Christmas steal if we ever saw one.

The smart speaker is a direct rival to Alexa and the Amazon Echo speakers.
That means it can answer questions, play music and control your smart home – all through voice control.
Normally the Google Home Mini costs £49.99, which isn’t bad value for money.
But eBay is flogging refurbished versions of the speaker for much cheaper.
These are manufacturer refurbished products, which mean they come from the official Google refurbishment programme.
So what is the Google Home Mini?
It’s a smart speaker powered by Google’s know-it-all Google Assistant.
Google Assistant is a virtual helper that you control using your voice.
She (or he, if you change the voice) can help you with everyday tasks like finding out about the news or weather.
It’ll set reminders and timers, let you check your Google calendar, play music, and even make hands-free calls.
All you need to do is say “OK Google” or “Hey Google” out loud, and then issue a command.
And if you have compatible smart home gadgets (like a Philips Hue Lightbulb or Nest Thermostat) then you’ll be able to control those using the Home Mini too.
