Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the app, and support team is great! This model did not come with a backplate. Seems minor but standard backplate impacted the ability to mount the digital face.

Very easy install with on screen steps with very easy to understand instructions. The app is fairly easy to use. You just need to go through the menu to see where everything is and what it is for. It has reminders and alerts. You can adjust those settings to what you need/want. The thermostat looks nice and is fluid with its response. Doesn't seem to be slow at all.

Very easy to install & works great! The app is very user friendly also!

Great product and works fantastic to control temps.

Fast installation, easy setup, looks good, paired it with an Ecobee doorbell as a start to a new security system.

works exactly as it should. Have a little delay updating the data on the phone app.

[Employee of bestbuy] HomeKit capability works exactly as intended. Very simple to install on your own. I didn’t even have to cut power to the area to do so.

First time changing a thermostat and other than trying to get it turned on it was an easy set up. Blue wire wasn’t hooked up to our furnace so once I did that it worked! We love it and runs smooth

We have had this unit for about 6 weeks now. It has saved us approx. $20 on our first bills since install and like the smart features that automatically allow it to adjust to temp range.

Great thermostat. I have this in both of my homes. No issues.

Great thermostat to replace the similar priced Nest. The interface is so much easier to use and it works perfect with my furnance.

Love the new digital thermostat, i would recommend to anyone

Love the ecobee! It was easy to set up and my kids can't adjust the temperature anymore.

Easy to install, Easy to use. Very happy with upgrade.

This is my second Ecobee setup. I went with the essentials after my Nest died, and I wanted something that supported HomeKit (Apple). It works well and does the "basic" features well, like changing the temperature from your phone. Additionally, it enables you to establish a routine and set the temperature based on your phone's presence or a pre-set schedule. If this is for an Airbnb or short-term rental, I would recommend installing a few smart sensors so it can detect when someone is home and turn on automatically. Overall, a great entry level smart Thermostat.

I prefer the 3 lite but they stopped making those and use these instead. While its still just as functional, its a tad harder to hook up if u need a cwire adapter or anything special.

I recently installed the ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential, and it's been a solid upgrade for my home’s heating and cooling system.

Works reliably well. Easy to set up. Switched over from google nest and like this one better.

Very convenient and easy to use! Once installed it was easy to set up and I love the weather forecast feature!

Excellent product that beats the competition by having better hardware than the rest. Some other smart thermostats I have used have good software but terrible hardware that fails quickly, this is not the case here!
