Google - Nest Thermostat - Programmable Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat - Sand

The Nest thermostat is an essential piece for any modern home. Its sleek design seamlessly integrates into any environment while offering intelligent functionality that truly makes a difference. One of its standout features is its ability to learn your heating and cooling preferences, meaning it adjusts automatically over time to keep your home comfortable while saving energy. The intuitive and user-friendly interface allows you to control the thermostat from anywhere via the mobile app, meaning you can adjust the temperature even when you're not at home. Additionally, its compatibility with voice assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa adds an extra layer of convenience and accessibility. Another plus is its ability to integrate with other smart devices in your home, allowing you to create a complete automation ecosystem tailored to your lifestyle. From presence detection to programmable schedules, the Nest thermostat truly puts control of your comfort in your hands. While some people have reported connectivity issues or compatibility with older HVAC systems, overall, the Nest thermostat offers an exceptional experience worth considering for any modern home. With its combination of style, intelligent functionality, and energy savings, it's an investment you're sure to enjoy for many years to come.

I transitioned to this model from a previous generation of learning theromostat. While the features are comparable, you can definitely notice the difference in feeling between this and the more expensive model. The most noticable difference is not being able to turn the outside of the unit as you would a more traditional thermostat. It took a bit of getting used to in terms of navigating the settings on the device without the ability to "turn the dial". Once you get it there isn't much of an issue. Outside of that one thing the unit is solid. I wanted the unit in black but Best Buy didn't have that option. I realized after purchasing that the big box home improvement stores do, so that might be a better option for more color options. The previous model used to include the trim plate, but this one does not. If you're not handy to patch and paint a wall, be prepared to have the trim plate prior to the start the install especially if you're unable to match the same paint you currently have on your wall. I appreciate being able to have HVAC on a set schedule which helps keep costs down, while helping to keep the temperature comfortable.

Note: I got this open box for only $37. At that price point this thing is great! Super easy to install and works flawlessly. For full price? Id say it leaves a lot to be desired. No cover included is really bad - although I just 3d printed my own; thats not something everyone has. Its a thermostat - nothing crazy.

I love it! I went to Best Buy looking for something in particular and when I saw this Nest thermostat it was impressive. The look of it and how it works and I love that I can control it from my phone anywhere and anytime.

If you're away from home often like I am, this Nest thermostat is a game-changer. It handles things automatically and efficiently, looks great, and gives you full control wherever you are. Definitely recommend it over Ecobee for travelers, commuters, or anyone who’s not home much.
