Nice review of this high quality speaker that is also a smart voice assistant (ie Google Assistant built-in). I understand the Max will be available for sale in the UK early this year:

I've invested too much into Sonos (8), otherwise I'd purchase the Google home max

Definitely interested in this, been contemplating the sonos system but this would potentially be better fitting in with all my other Google powered bits.

And now with Google Assistant which is built into Google Home supporting over 1500 smart home devices from over 200 brands, all the more reason:

From Google Blog Post today 5 Jan 2018 to underscore the popularity of Google Home:

"With Google Home Mini and Google Home Max in addition to our original Google Home, we brought you even more ways to use the Assistant in your home. So it’s no wonder we’ve sold tens of millions of all our Google devices for the home over this last year. And in fact, we sold more than one Google Home device every second since Google Home Mini started shipping in October."
