I got a google home solely because it came w/ a hue package and tried to show it to my family. The Home couldn't hear me over itself (music) across the kitchen...

My alexa can hear what I'm saying down the corridor with the shower on and much louder.

It was embarassing

The mic quality is my only complaint with the Google Home (mini). I hope they fix that next model cause it's amazing otherwise.

Interesting, I've not really had a problem with it picking up my commands from across the room when music is on, even when its playing on my nvidia shield.

I find the Alexa is less accurate at recognizing commands when music or the TV is playing.

I'm curious, why did the package size matter?
