There is a browser but it isn't exposed as an interface you can use, there's no keyboard either.
This means there are frustrations.
You can ask for a nut roast recipe and it will show you a few and it will use the browser to render a web page and go through the ingredients, prep and steps... But...
If you know a specific web page with a recipe and it's not one of their partner sources... Then you will not be able to get that web page to open on these assistant powered devices.
So it's great, for the narrow set of things it does.
We mostly use ours as a radio, a set of timers (you can create and name lots of concurrent timers, great when cooking something complex), as a light control, as a clock, and occasionally to look up random things.

I've seen a lot of reviews saying the Lenovo is better than the Google one.
How easy is it just to get a web page up on these things, does it have a browser?
I reckon kitchen is the best use for these voice assistants. I've got an echo but same kind of thing when I was cooking tonight: radio, 4 different timers (each with a name and the lights flash in the living room when time's up), conversions from cups to sensible measures, etc
