I have Google Wifi at home and a unifi mesh at my office. Unless you are covering a massive area or have more than 25 clients, I’d have a real hard time recommending unifi. It requires much more configuration and maintenance. Google WiFi you really just forget about it - handles patches automatically, finds you the best channel automatically, tests your uplink daily and logs results.

Unifi’s software is much better than any other enterprise solution, but it still has a lot of rough edges and bugs if you’re doing anything non-standard.

Have you looked at their home wifi Amplfi line? https://www.amplifi.com/

It's supposed to be plug-and-play.

I'd probably buy one, but I'm pretty happy with my 2 year old Unifi AC router, after initial setup, I haven't done anything to it - I have it set to update firmware automatically.

Funny you should mention this, because I put a Unifi system in at home and just checked -- haven't been in it in 6 months.
Case in point: bonding non-contiguous ports in Unifi is not possible (though it's possible on the Edge products). I think there's also a 4 port maximum.
