Last month the wife wanted a speaker for the kitchen, we looked at the middle Google home, but we didn’t need another, and I did d want to spend £90. Plus its just not as easy to use as a plain BT speaker. Or rather to troubleshoot for a non tech.
So I went for the Anker sound core for £29.99. It’s very good. Build great, sound very good, has some l decent depth, and it has a long battery, for thoughs that like to carry a radio around the garden.
Its that good in fact, it would make a decent sound bar for a small room, or kitchen. I’m very impressed. There is one with and with out an aux in. I’d get the one with the aux in, for added flexibility.

Side note, if you have an echo dot, this is a cheap way to make it sound better, and a better mic pick up. Shame the Google home mini doesn’t have an aux out.

Or, does it do something different? My wife has her kitchen Hi Fi and TV, the latter with the sound often turned off for some reason…

I guess it could be a crap-shoot on the FM radio and I was just unlucky, but I would advise against it as a radio.
