Hi Dizby
We have had an Amazon Echo for a few years, we were in Curry’s a month back and they had a Google Home Hub on offer. Usually I’d never listen to a Curry’s salesperson but they had a tech guy from Google training the staff on hand.
He gave us a personal demo of what the Google could do, I dare say the Amazon Show has its own merits but we liked what we saw so we purchased the Google Home Hub.
Comparing the hub (with screen) to the Echo (no screen) is unfair but the Google recognises commands much better. Google Home has Youtube the Echo Show doesn’t as far as I’m aware, it might get it but Google and Amazon are always falling out so it could be here one minute gone the next.
What I love about Amazon Echo - Linking to Prime Music
What I love about Google Hub;
“Show Me......” for a YouTube clip
“What’s my commute to work like” links to Google Maps & Live Traffic
I also prefer Nest Cams over Blink and others available, Google’s purchase of Nest was another reason for me to go for the Hub over the Show.
Like I said though, I’m comparing the Google Hub to an Amazon Echo not an Amazon Show so it’s not a fair comparison but so far I’m happy with switching over from one platform to the other |
