Have an Echo and Echo Dot as well as a Google Home and Google Home mini. I like them both and think you would probably enjoy either. That being said the google home gets used way more often in our house. I like how google home controls my smart devices better than alexa, it give me better more reliable answers to most questions I throw at them. I also don’t really find the fact that Alexas 20k skills is a big deal, in fact I find the skills to be a real hinderance since you have to know how to invoke the skill and even though you can do thought through voice you still need to remember the names of all the different skills. I use shortcuts on google which means I can invoke a google service using something that makes since to me and my family vs having to remember the exact way to invoke a skill. I also like google for home control better even though most reviews say that Alexa is better for that because it has more partners, this may be true but so far I have’t really ran into something I cant integrate evert device I have works with both ecosystem. Also sound quality of google home is better than the 1st gen echo but can’t speak for 2nd gen echo.
Should add that while my preference is the Google Home if comparing native capabilities, however there really is nothing like Ask Alexa or EchoSistant for Google Home yet… but that’s why I have both. As @JDRoberts test both, especially now that the mini is available you can try both for lest than the cost of Google Home or Amazon Echo.
