Google home and similar

[secretgirl]

Hi.
I have just recently become aware of these speakers that you can ask questions of!
I know Google home is one and Amazon have another.
Can anyone explain them to me and how you use them and want for? One As a good deal on one I was thinking of getting as a gift for Christmas.

Thank you x

I've got a Google home, its great. I use it to play music, set timers when I am cooking stuff, ask it for the weather, ask questions and lots of other things I can't remember. You can turn the lights and heating on and off if you have compatible systems.

The Amazon Echo is pretty much the same thing, its just personal preference as to whether you prefer Amazon or Google.

It's for someone who has an iPhone and a Samsung tablet.
Does that make any difference?
With the Google home is there just one type or different ones? Like is there one better then another?
Sorry I'm clueless 😁
