I love mine...but have the gripes everyone else has. Alexa and Google are WAY above Siri. The biggest downside is Siri. However, for our use, it controls what smart home things we have. Selling my Alexa stuff. The speaker is just superior...and I've always wanted a good speaker apart from my home theater system. It fits that bill. I tried the Sonos One pair with Alexa build in, but they just didn't sound as good. Granted, I could've used them as stereo, but I don't need/want a stereo system in my family room. One unobtrusive speaker is what I wanted...and the HomePod just sounded so superior, IMO. Some would disagree...and that's okay!
