Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have had this for a few years now. We like the look of the thermostat. It also integrates well with Alexa. It was very easy to install, and everyone thinks it is easy to use. We enjoy being able to set the temperature remotely. My only con, and it is a big one for me... I can't set a hold temperature. I could do this on my previous older thermostat. I am not sure why Google doesn't include this feature. It was almost a deal breaker for me.

Great Thermostat. Connects well to alexa and is easily controlled. Very easy install looks very clean & modern,

Much better than the old style thermostat. 100% certain that this saves us money. It is also is nice to turn up the heat from the phone when returning from travel, etc. Super easy to install if you have a quasi-modern house with heat and AC. I am having difficulty installing one in my other place that just has a boiler and a two wire thermostat. If you pull the cover off of your current thermostat, make sure you have a C wire that will power the nest.

We purchased the Nest - Learning Thermostat, on sale. I opened the box, and followed the installation instructions. Make sure you take a picture of your existing thermostat's wire connections and label each wire (using the labels included by Nest) before you disconnect anything. Once you have done this, the rest is pretty easy. Don't forget to download the Nest app to your smartphone, and set-up a Nest account. Also, apply for any rebates you may be qualified for (ex. So Cal Edison and/or So Cal Gas - up to $125!). I recommend that you also sign up for So Cal Edison's Rush Hour program (additional credits to your bill). We've had the Nest Thermostat for a week now, and our central heat and air runs in the morning (5am) for a few minutes to heat the house to 72F. The house stays above 70F the rest of the day. The Nest already learned our routine, and it "knows" when we leave the house with our smartphones and automatically sets the thermostat to Eco mode. I think this was a smart purchase for our home. We had new insulation added to the attic, walls, and under the floors in 2015 so we don't leak much warm air and the furnace doesn't run very often.

The thermostats are easy to understand and use. The look good on my walls. I particularly enjoy the remote control feature- either from under my warm blankets or from another part of the world. not to mention that they look very pretty on my walls.

This Thermostat was the best purchase I have every made, not only does it learn what temperature you like it in your house over time, but the automatic home and away feature is a great money saver. Every month you get an email letting you know how much energy you have used and how you did against other "nesters" in your area. All and all its great tool for your home, lets you see how much energy you have used each month, learns what you like and allows you to control your thermostat from your smart phone.

Not sure that I can add much more than others have written. The thermostat works as described. Installation was very easy, took me about 15 minutes. I remember reading that many people wanted far sight to display the current temperature rather than the set temperature. I recent software update added this functionality. Additionally I have read that some people have had temperature run aways, I have not had an issue at all. I like the design and how easy it is to use. I haven't figured out how much it has saved, but the auto-away and being able to remote in and set the thermostat to away has saved me on cooling this summer on weekend when I am not home for an extended time. Also being able to turn things back on lets the house get back to a comfortable temp by the time I arrive home.

The 3rd Generation Nest Learning Thermostat is an excellent investment in smart home technology as an energy and money saver. It is extremely easy to install using the detailed instructions included in the package or any of the dozens of Youtube videos to be found online. Once installed, it virtually programs itself to adjust the heating and cooling parameters to the activity patterns within your home space. At the same time, it provides ample opportunities to override these self-determined settings to suit the immediate or long-term situation. Many energy providers are sponsoring rebate programs that can somewhat offset the (admittedly high) initial cost of the Nest device. I have used it so far for a little more than three weeks in a fluctuating temperature spell and have found it highly correlated (through its detailed history function available in the smartphone app) with the number of degree days. More importantly, the house is always comfortable within the temperature ranges I have specified. A test of the cooling functions will have to wait several months I fear but I have no doubt it will prove equally helpful.

The Google Nest Learning Thermostat is an excellent designed & constructed product. It is easily installed, the available options are as advertised & love the internet connectivity Pricey but worth it.

I love this thermostat. From it’s modern and attractive appearance to it’s features and ease if use, you can’t go wrong with this thermostat. Through a simple to use and intuitive app, setup and use is simple. You have several options on how to setup this thermostat to how you want to use it.

Easy to install. Easy to set up. Optimizes your schedule. Love the away feature: if you leave the house it automatically sets the temperature back then turns on when you head home. Best: you can monitor it from any where and make adjustments as needed so your house is at the right temperature when you get home. Had one die after 3 years (probable lightning strike) and immediately replaced it with another. Weakest part is tech support - so by the Best Buy extended warranty so you deal with Best Buy not Google (NOT a paid endorsement). There is a reason why this is a Consumer Reports Best Buy - best one on the market.

I really enjoy being able to track energy usage through the app. I also enjoy that I can remotely change the temperature before getting home from an extended absence...or to change it after I have left if I forgot to turn on an "away" setting. Looks great, it's easy to install and use.

It’s a simple easy to self install do easy to use gadget that will pay for itself in many ways - my energy company had rebate , my gas company had rebate and it really saves some gas and electricity ( it will most likely pay for itself in 3 months) for most people. It’s like a piece of art.

This thermostat is everything it is cracked up to be and more! It has lowered my energy bill another $50 at least since I've gotten it. The ability to program it when you are there or away, and then it enhances that program by learning your habits is amazing. It thinks of things that I don't even think of! The one thing that would be better if built right in would be the ability to geofence the Nest, but there are third party apps out there that let you do that, so you can set it and forget it basically. When you leave the house it goes into away mode, and you have it turn itself back on and start cooling/heating when you are on your way home! The ability to heat and cool is extremely well liked also, so during those odd times of the year when one day you have heat on in the morning and air on in the afternoon, you can use that setting so you don't have to keep running back and forth to the thermostat. I also love that I can control it from my phone or tablet. Too cold in the morning? Grab the device and turn the heat up without getting uncovered! I love my Nest thermostat and am looking forward to purchasing a few Nest smoke/CO2 detectors in the near future! Very highly recommended!

This is my second nest Thermostat 3rd generation. Nothing but positives things to say about it. Easy to install, works perfectly with google home. Looks great on your wall and it saves you money by creating schedules. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their thermostat.

Love it. Very convenient. It works great. You can control anything from the WiFi and remotely. If it’s getting warm and your pets are at home you can turn the thermostat Down. Peace of mind. Brilliant design and looks great. A+++

I love the perfect look, very easy set up. It's part of the apartment decoration. Very useful, programmable, and the best is the fact that I can control it with Alexa. No need your Phone App or to go walking to the Thermostat if you need to change the temperature.

Installation of the Nest thermostat was straightforward with all of the necessary parts and labels supplied. The online help through the Nest website helped to provide confidence that the installation was being done correctly. The set up was simple and straightforward. The connection to the wireless network was pretty much self driven. Pretty nifty to see the little puck go through it's paces. The entire installation and set up took 30 minutes. As a thermostat it works just fine. A little expensive maybe but we were leaving on a trip during the heat of the summer and we wanted to be able to monitor the house temperature and have the option to have the temperature at a comfortable level before we got back without asking someone to come into our house. Four hours from home we used the app to set the temperature back to a comfortable temperature and the house felt great when we walked in the door. The Nest app has worked fine on our Android and Apple devices. The ability to see the history of how much the A/C unit has run over the last week or two is interesting.

We bought this to replace our older programmable thermostat. It has worked great with so much functionality. It has so many different settings and is easy to install & use (not to mention it's good look). We are waiting on our first bill for the season but I am sure it will be better than before.

Bought this for our lake condo. Allows me to manage and monitor temperatures remotely. Very happy with the Nest thermostat - beautiful aesthetic, easy to install and use, and with powerful connected experience. Only thing missing is remote temperature and humidity sensors that integrate with the app.
