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:

If you’re interested in testing Google Home, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck!

Fanjango · 26/05/2017 15:42

Ooohhh....thankyou so much. My kids are so excited!! Woohoo

rupert23 · 26/05/2017 16:53

just got the email my boys are so excited thank you very much. Look forward to receiving it

MyOtherProfile · 26/05/2017 16:56

No email here sob

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 26/05/2017 17:02

Only UK mn'ers?

Intotheclouds · 26/05/2017 17:32

Thank you so much for choosing myself and family to test this product out 😁😁

Mummybroadley · 26/05/2017 18:02

My five would love this, they are forever trying to use my phone to ask it questions 🙈😂

Ditsy79 · 26/05/2017 18:19

Wahoo! I'm so excited I got picked to test this. Thanks so much!

ConfusedLlama · 26/05/2017 18:26

My DD is full of questions, about the universe, life and everything (apparently 42 no longer passes for a good answer). It would be great if she could ask the google home directly, instead of asking me to get my phone to ask google why elephants have long trunks? or why the sky is blue?

I reckon google produce some of the best products out there (flattery always works right?) but in all seriousness I'd love to see how this helps with family life.

OhDearToby · 26/05/2017 19:33

I totally forgot I'd applied for this one!

Thank you for picking us. Although dp and the dc are much more excited about it arriving than I am!

PurpleCrazyHorse · 26/05/2017 19:49

Super excited in this house too. The poor Google Home will get asked a lot of crazy questions by our 7yo, such as why her brother is so annoying?

However I might just go bonkers with the questioning over when it's arriving Grin

BabytoBoris · 26/05/2017 20:12

Thank you mumsnet! So exciting!!

Gazelda · 26/05/2017 20:36

Woop Woop! We've been chosen!

DD is very excited and thinking of ridiculous things she can ask it. She loves asking Siri to rap, so no doubt that will be top of her list.

I'm looking forward to seeing its capabilities and if it will change my life into one of streamlined, organised, serenity rather than fly by the seat of my pants muddliness.

DH is looking forward to seeing what he can link it up to with and then bragging to his mates.

heymammy · 26/05/2017 21:34

I got the email!! Thank you so much for choosing us...this is going to be fun Grin

BabytoBoris · 27/05/2017 08:53

Sssshhh the Internet is listening to me. It arrived very early this morning.

BabytoBoris · 27/05/2017 10:06

..., it's great!

PurpleCrazyHorse · 27/05/2017 11:44

Oh no, we're away this bank holiday weekend. Hope it goesn't get thrown over the fence!

However, I've just started a two month free trial with Google Play so we can try out the music and am moving my playlists from iTunes over as we speak! Going to sort out my Google calendar too so we can try the diary management stuff. Mostly use Apple stuff rather than my Google account so trying to get organised so we can hit the ground running.

Candyperfumegirl · 27/05/2017 19:39

So excited to have been chosen for this one ! Can't wait to receive it and get started.

Flotsamandjetsome · 28/05/2017 08:13

Mine arrived this morning. I hadn't seen the email and had forgotten I'd applied, for a few minutes I wondered if I'd done some drunk shopping lol. Very excited

Flotsamandjetsome · 28/05/2017 10:28

Oh my gosh its awesome!!

ShelaghTurner · 28/05/2017 11:49

Still waiting for mine... 😩

LeahEssel · 28/05/2017 17:39

I would love to see how it compared with Alexa, who seems to have a hearing impairment.

Flapdoodles · 28/05/2017 22:33

Thank you Mumsnet, we are all really excited to receive ours and get started.

dilydaly · 28/05/2017 22:38

Children would undoubtedly love this, I have 2 under 12 years :)

Leahbaxter · 29/05/2017 11:47

Aw I so wanted to be chosen for this! My very inquisitive 8 year old would have loved it, after we too had Alexa and she seemed to get her own personality which didn't want to listen to what we said & speak randomly when no1 asked her anything!
