Google Assistant vs Alexa, has anyone used both?

I’ve used alexa from the beginning. I live by it, it allows me to make announcements throughout my house. Is a personal assistant when I’m working from home. I have not used google but as an echo dot and echo show owner I love it.

I use Alexa for my lights and playing music. But I am an android user so google is also used frequently for my phone, asking random questions, etc.

I have 5 Alexas and 3 Google Assistants. They are all unplugged an in a drawer. We found them to be more annoying than helpful.

We had Alexa and prefer our google home. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have both. I definitely like Alexa more. It's less annoying and more helpful. For example, when I say "OK Google, turn off living room lamp." Google assistant would say : "Sure, turning living room lamp off." But for Alexa, when I say the same request, she would say "Ok", then the light is off. Also, Google sometimes promotes their new features like bed time feature, so they would say some irrelevant things to remind you their new features, which is so annoying!

I am 100% biased, but for a Smart Home use-case (controlling lights, thermostats, security systems, streaming camera feeds) Alexa is considered to be ahead by most in the industry. Check out Alexa Guard as well: amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=1...

Thanks everyone for the input!! I’m going to setup both and see which one I end up using more.
