    As a disclaimer, we have no idea if a good product. We purchased three and were assured that the third party total tech could install. They couldn't. Our multizone house was too 'complex' to know how to install them. The wiring wasn't the issue. It would be good to have the install team and the sales team be on same page.

    Simple to setup and simple to use. The package includes everything you'll need to install. App setup and configuration is straightforward. I would give this product five stars if it is compatible with Apple's HomeKit.

    Purchased this item hoping it would control my high electricity bills in the summer. Well, it runs more than the Honeywell I had before and it's always hot in my house. Thinking about putting the old one back to have a cool home again.

      Hi there, VenkataramanaR. Thank you for sharing your feedback on Nest Learning Thermostat. We appreciate you pointing out your concern about the common wire. Nest thermostats would generally work without a common wire. However, there are some systems that would require a C wire or Nest Power Connector. Nest thermostats are designed to use very little power, and in many cases they can use your system’s heating and cooling wires to get enough consistent power. But sometimes, you may need to connect a common wire (C wire) or power accessory, like the Nest Power Connector, to make your system compatible. We suggest reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists for any assistance you may need in the future. You can contact us anytime on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Great product but has some serious power issues. If your WiFi is inconsistent it drains the battery and you come home to no thermostat and no way to power your ac. Needs some definite work in this area.

    Electric bill went "UP"

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am currently not satisfied with the product. I purchased it at the end of June and installed it in July 3rd I think, and my electric bill has gone up more than 50% in June over the month of July and 45% more in month of August. I thought the first month might have been a learning curve, so I gave it another full month to see what would happen. I am uninstalling it and wanting to return it, however BestBuy says I am past my 45 day window and can't help me at all with an exchange or credit. So not only am I out $200+ dollars for the Unit, also out an extra $150+ for my energy bill. Needless to say , I am not a happy customer at all.

    Google removed integrations with Samsung smart things, IFTTT, and other smart home products. No longer worth the price, go for an ecobee instead.

    I bought my first nest in July 2017 on a best buy sale. We were building a house so I did not need it for a while. When everything was ready 7 months later and we were able to use it, it would not turn on. After speaking with nest they told us to return it to best buy. Best buy refused the return, so I had to buy another thermostat. I went ahead and bought a nest again and this one worked. I like the thermostat, don't like best buys 14 day return policy. I would purchase this product somewhere else. I would recommend the product to a friend, not purchasing at best buy though.

      We apologize for your experience with the Nest Thermostat, as well as your experience with Nest support. We would only refer customers to the place of purchase if they wanted a refund. Our products do come with a two year warranty. While we wouldn’t be able to provide a refund in this case, any customer can contact us and we’d be able to replace a faulty unit that’s still under warranty by sending a replacement. Nest

    if you have a dual heat system, don't buy. There is no capability for the Nest product to receive sensing info to enable the heat pump/ oil furnace to work properly.

    Is not compatible with furnace with humidifier. At least I could not get it figured out. I contacted two electricians and one "HVAC" company. No help. Had to return to store.
