    Thermostat works great until a large number of people are in the same room. Continuously says "holding" and gives not connected to wifi error after a starting countdown. Support is worthless.

    Not Boiler Friendly

    The product was refurbished. Fine- ive purchased refurbished products in the past. There was only a 10 day return window. There were no instructions included in the box. It’s fine if a product is used but you need to disclose to the consumer that there are no instructions in the packaging. (Its usually a sign)If Best Buy is going to stamp their refurbished quality star on it, make sure it has all the parts/instructions . We were able to find the instructions online which added time to the project. This product does NOT work with a boiler system. The additional purchase of a google C adapter did not help. The Ecobee is a friendlier product to use with a boiler system per heating/cooling professionals. I would love to work with Best Buy on finding a better solution regarding the return.

    Great product. I am only disappointed with the fact that they did not sent me a board on which the thermostat should be attached.

    This Certified Refurbished Nest Smart Programmable Wi-Fi Thermostat works exactly as I had hoped and intended it to. The wiring needed some extra help from our HVAC company but once they connected everything correctly it's been working out great for us. I love being able to see the energy that I am saving each month by having this installed.

    I bought it as a refurbished product. The package looks really good in condition, almost like new. The whole experience is like new, only the battery is missing, but that's no big deal compare with the discount I get.

    Geek Squad handled the refurbishment so well that I could not even tell that this was not a new device. Setup is simple, just follow the prompts on your phone. The thermostat is handy for those that want to be more green or just thrifty and reduce energy usage when you are not at home.
