Kim Wetzel, Digital Trends’ Smart Home editor, also stopped by the studio to discuss the differences between the Amazon Echo Dot and the Google Home Mini, including the voice assistant, appearance, and overall quality of both smart home devices.

Digital Trends Live airs at 9 a.m. PT from Monday through Friday, with highlights available on demand after the stream ends. For more information, check out the DT Live homepage and be sure to watch live for the chance to win occasional prizes.
