My Home's Command Center
The Nest Hub Max is like having a helpful assistant in your home. This charcoal-colored smart display fits nicely in most rooms and does a lot more than you might expect. The 10-inch screen is crisp and clear, great for watching recipes while cooking or checking your calendar. Video calls are a breeze - just say "Hey Google, call Mom" and you're connected. The camera quality is good, making it easy for friends and family to see you clearly. Sound-wise, it's impressive for its size. The built-in speakers and subwoofer pump out decent audio, whether you're listening to music or watching videos. Google Assistant is the star here. It responds quickly to voice commands, helping you set timers, control smart home devices, or get quick answers to questions. On the downside, privacy might be a concern for some. There's a camera and microphone involved, though you can turn these off. Also, while it's not cheap, it offers good value for what it does. Keep in mind, you'll get the most out of this if you're already using Google services or have other smart home devices.

Does More than Google Home Hub
Last Christmas I replaced both our daughters Google Home Hub with the Google Max. Last week I replaced my husbands and I also purchased myself one. The Google MAX does so much more than the smaller Google Hub. It has a camera and microphone making it easy to chat live with the Grandkids. I am still learning what all it do but I’ve learned that I can have Google find just about anything quicker than I can open an APP. Google even opens YouTube to my specified music or video. I love it. My husband uses his in bedroom for an alarm clock. I use mine mostly in living room studying. It is more expensive than the home hub but goes on sale making it affordable. It is larger and more attractive in both rooms.

Big upgrade
literally the best purchase ever! so easy to use & set up! love the big screen and the way the music sounds compared to my google home mini!.Quality and appearance are great. Easy set up. still learning all the things that it can do. I have it set up in my kitchen so that I can watch, get updates, monitor things while I am cooking, washing dishes or cleaning.Much better than the old Google Home it replaced. Bass isn't as good, but we linked the old system in as a speaker and have the best of both worlds. Love the screen and photo feature and the AI seems like it's been significantly upgraded.Much better than the old Google Home it replaced.we linked the old system in as a speaker and have the best of both worlds.

Excellent addition to the kitchen
I got this item after purchasing several google home cameras, a google nest thermostat and a google nest doorbell. It is customizable with pictures and the google voice assitant. It is great for hands free voice commands and even has the option for video calls. The only option for videocalls is through google duos though and my only critique is that it doesnt offer any other option for videocalls, like facebook messenger, because barely anyone uses google duos. It also has much better sound quality than I expected and at max volume can be heard anywhere in my 1500 sqft home. The coolest feature, in my opinion, is that it was say who is at your door based on the saved faces in the google app. It will also show you the doorbell video when someone rings it so you dont have to pull it up on your phone and can use the microphone feature from the hub. Its also touch screen so you dont need to use voice commands all the time. I use it mainly for pulling up YouTube videos or playing music on Spotify while I cook or clean because i have it placed on the counter of my kitchen. I think the price is about $50 higher than it should be but if you have spare cash and lots of google home devices(or devices that work with google assistant) it is worth getting as a way of bring you google devices together with a hands free control hub.

One of the best tech device that keeps me on track
I can use this for my home and for my work! You can also use it to call just anout anyone even iphones and do facetime! I set up gopgle meet and voice for my son to use this for a free home phone! I bought mine full price! But it is still worth it and i can connect all my cameras and home appliences! I must say Google did very well! Im an apple user as i am a designer but i use google for my work emsilad and all pther work related apps and this just made my day go so much smoother! Price is def very high! But to have all that in one and google to assists you? Im super happy! Hopefully they upgrade the mini google hub tso you can make phone calls and facetime on that as well! I would most definitely get the smaller one for my sons room and for him to be assisted too!
