How so? What do you use your Google Home with that you cannot with an Amazon Echo? Curious as I have both and found little differences outside of answers to questions.

I had an Echo since shortly after it was introduced, and purchased a Home when it came out. I found quickly that the Home surpassed the Echo for most general inquiries. For all of my home automation, music playing and alarms, they are very comparable. The Echo seems to have slightly better speakers and microphone, but not enough to make me stick with it. I now have 3 Google Home's throughout the house and I find them much better at responding to natural language (e.g. "Hey Google, can dogs eat mango?").
