    The door bell is great. A bit bigger than I expected, but I guess that means people can't missed it, right? I have Google Home so hearing chimes thru the speakers is an additional benefit if you are someone that doesn't carry their smartphones around the house. However, I bought a refurbished version and the battery life is dreadful. I've had it about a month and I've already had to recharge twice. Since I do like everything else about the product, I might update by buying a brand new one before summer when I might go away for vacation.

      Hi there, Jonh. We’re glad that you like the Nest Doorbell (battery) and its features. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with its battery life is less than ideal.

      The Nest Doorbell (battery) is designed with a built-in rechargeable battery that drives the size of the product, so that it's flexible to use with or without a wired power connection. The battery life depends on several factors including activity frequency, temperature, and the camera settings you select. Adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas can extend its battery life. This link can help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      If you want to plug your Nest doorbell to a power source to keep the battery charged, you might want to check for the Ninety7 Indoor Power Adapter, or S2dio Indoor Power Adapter, and we encourage you to contact your retailer for product inquiries. If additional help is required, you’re always welcome to visit us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    works like new, no scratches or dents or anything. Mounting can be a challenge, but used a no-drill door mount and it fit perfectly. great video quality and long lasting battery, easy to set up/use with existing Google Home account.

    Works good and I get notifications fairly quickly. Good picture quality and audio. Living in a area with four seasons I wish the battery didn't die as quickly in colder weather. Overall a good product for the money.

      Hey there, JamesT. It's great to hear that Nest Doorbell (Battery) has been working great for you. During winter, the battery life of Nest Doorbell (Battery) may have less than half the life that it has at temperatures close to -4°F (-20°C). A typical battery life of Nest Doorbell (Battery) will last about 2.5 months (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day). Keep in mind that the battery life may vary since it will still depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. If you need further guidance, please feel free to reach out to our support team and we'd be happy to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Great video doorbell. It works flawlessly and syncs up great with other google assistant products. The video looks super clear and it’s very easy to manage from the Google Home app. I definitely recommend it.

    Everything needed comes in the box including a wedge to angle it slightly. Would benefit from a way to angle it down more since the wide eye lens has a huge field of view. Battery should last longer for such a large doorbell.

    Very good doorbell not perfect

    Good doorbell it’s basically free if you don’t need storage it’ll record for three hours but if you miss the recording, it will delete the recording. So you may need to subscribe in order to get the full benefits but I’ve used it for a year without having to pay the six dollars a month and rely on the free service. Another con though is that it does not like the cold, below freezing it can drain the battery, so it’s best to bring it inside.

    Amazing battery doorbell from Nest/Google

    This is an amazing doorbell and weve had it for a week. Leading into thanksgiving, weve been able to play with the new doorbell jingles ans as we were already baked into the google home ecosystem, see that the doorbell integrates beautifully with notifying us on the devices when someone approaches. Battery life is about a month which is wonderful and we get no false alerts, only people and packages, which is perfect!!

    I was a little worried because a week after installing it, it disconnected from my Wi-Fi. I had to do a hard reset by pressing and holding the reset button for 10 seconds. Never experienced that when I bought a new one previous to this. Long story that’s not related to the device itself. After reconnecting to Wi-Fi though, it’s been working like a charm. I wish you could give 4.5 stars.
