    Stopped working after 4 months. Horrible support

    Loved the idea of remote control, but after 4 months stopped working. I would give it a ZERO if I could. I will not be buy any more Google hardware. Initially the NEST indicated low battery and started dropping WIFI. Several hours with horrible Google support troubleshooting. Many can't speak English well enough to spell your email address correctly. Even then, they can't make any decisions without putting you on hold while they contact their manager. CSR said my HVAC had an issue and recommended a tech to check it out. Well, thermostat from another system worked fine. Finally they agreed to send a replacement base, but it took 10 days to arrive. With replacement base, the A/C worked, surprise-surprise, but now it would NOT connect to WIFI router nor HOTSPOT, so it too is defective. Great idea, poor execution with support that is of no help. If you are willing to live without A/C or heat for a couple of weeks when your NEST stops working, go for it. If not, then stay away or at least keep your old thermostat handy because you will need it.

    Had old fashioned 2 wire (white and red) thermostat. This was the only thermostat that was able to work without a common power wire.

    Purchased the Nest in July but waited until December to install. About two weeks after installation, the unit failed. Thank goodness it happened when both my wife and I were not out of town. Unfortunately, my wife was without heat for most of the day when temperature was below zero. Had someone from our local utility company come out who determined the Nest was not working and they reinstalled our old thermostat. Because I waited too long to install it, I was past Best Buy's timeline for returns, which I understand. I contacted Nest to request a refund or exchange, and they said they could do neither. Less thank six months since it was purchased!!! They said I would need to reinstall it and would need to try to trouble shoot it. That is so ridiculous, especially since we had a professional come to our house to diagnose it. At the least you would expect Nest to ask for it back and send a repaired or replacement unit. So in summary, our Nest failed us at the worst possible time and they won't stand behind their product.

    Easy set up! And I've already saved 40$ on my first electric bill. Kind of creepy how it tracks your habits. But it's paying for itself.

    The best thing about a Nest is when you are away, it goes into Econo mode which saves a fortune in heating and cooling costs

    Its a very expensive piece of hardware upgrade for my home. I was disappointed that they discontinued the e-ink model that was a bit cheaper but still good quality. The new cheaper model Nest has seems like such less quality that it deterred me from purchasing it over this one. I still don't think that this one is worth the asking price, but Nest's system works great with Google home since they are owned by Google and that was really the only reason I went with this one over other brands.
