We are looking for 50 MNers, with at least one child under the age of 12, to test the new Google Home. If selected, you’ll receive the product, worth £129, and get to keep it! Grin

What you’ll need do: Test Google Home for two weeks and give feedback on your experience by posting on a feedback thread as well as completing a short survey.

Here’s what Google has to say about the product: “The time we get to spend at home with our family and friends is pretty special. So what if technology could help us make the most of those moments, instead of sometimes pulling our attention away from them? Google Home is a hands-free smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant that does just that. Whether you want to get answers from Google, enjoy your music*, manage your everyday tasks and control compatible smart devices around your home, all you have to do is say “Ok Google”.

*Google Home is optimised for selected music services only. Subscriptions/payments may be required.

Below is a video about the product:

Thanks and good luck!

Done looks great

Oooh, new shiny technology to play with! I rely heavily on Google Calendar to keep family life organised, so I'd love to test if/how it works with that.

Wow amazing chance to test out a new product! We google every day, and we love our music, and we wanted to switch to smart lightbulbs, this could be the reason we do!

Our family would love to test this out!

gastontheladybhoy · 11/05/2017 12:11

With 11 yr old DD asking me things like "how do lesbians have sex" and 6 yr old DS wanting to know where in the world Pokemon live, I could really do with some help! (Although maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to ask google DD's question?!) ConfusedGrin

acarnamedwanda · 11/05/2017 14:49

I would love to give this a go with my three DCs!

LadyR77 · 11/05/2017 14:53

Oooh, have been intrigued by this - would love a chance to test it out (and am sure DS would love it too!)

BigGrannyPants · 11/05/2017 15:50

My oldest would love this!

CrazedZombie · 11/05/2017 16:21

This is a brilliant opportunity for 50 😱 families. Fingers crossed that we are one.

Kapoww · 11/05/2017 17:41

Would love this! We use Hive for smart heating, and already have Chromecast. I've been looking into Google Home and Alexa but haven't purchased yet!

Kittikat76 · 11/05/2017 18:27

My 4 year old would love this. Actually I would. Most of her questions BAFFLE me. How will I cope when she starts school in September??!!

comehomemax · 11/05/2017 18:35

would love to test this

KittyKat88 · 12/05/2017 00:03

Wow - this smart speaker looks amazing!! I have the most chatty almost 7 year old - she already does all the tech stuff with the TV etc so this is right up her street! The question is, would Google Home keep up with her speed of questioning! lol My other DD loves her music so she'd be listening to all her fave tunes. Definitely signed up for this one! Grin

lotsofbunnies · 12/05/2017 09:30

Applied, would love to test this.

Nowwhatisit · 12/05/2017 13:51

I spent 1 hour in a shop last night with my DC comparing this and the other one. I thought this one looks nicer (not very technical I know bt it's is a bit less 'in your face').
My 3 DC would love to try this, and my oldest could put it as a tech review on his tech-loving website/you tube thing
