    I The Nest was never installed, Best Buy (Greek Squad) was not able to installed and was suppose to report to office the Nest was not installed. I will return product to the store for full refund. I was never contacted by Best Buy to have someone to install the Nest. Very Unsatisfied with the service

    Nest makes it seem it is easy to install and operate but the wiring is complicated & thermostat will not charge so you need a HVAC professional. Called many, even ones recommended by Nest and no one wants to help since I didn't buy it from them. I went back to Best Buy to get help and paid $100 for a service call but it is over a week later no one has shown up.

    Disable Learning

    The learning aspect is difficult to use. It is much better when you disable it and program it the way you would prefer. Not worth the aggravation.

    It won’t keep the temperature you set it for, it wants to do it’s own thing. I don’t care how much you reset it it always do what it’s want. Avoid at all cause.

    Nest needs to listen to buyers

    First off, its overpriced. The directions tell virtually nothing about how this magic box (thermostat) actually works. I guess you're supposed to hook it up and tell it if you're comfortable, it does the rest. If you don't like that, buy something else. It also relies on internet for the phone app to work, even when locally on WiFi.

    I told the sales rep that my ac had zoning he assured me that the nest would work. It didn’t and the 3rd party company you sent to install had no idea what he was doing and he stole one of my original thermostats. He brought it back when questioned. He had no idea how it got in his car. It must have flown in there.

    Horrible product. Installed for 3 months, I hope your wifi doesn't go offline. If so you start all over. Was told as much by Nest customer service. It's not convenient...

      Hi there, B90046. Thanks for sharing a review about the Nest Learning Thermostat. We understand that having to set up your thermostat again each time your Wi-Fi goes offline can be an inconvenience, and we’ve taken note of this feedback. Meanwhile, you should be able to control your system with the thermostat but not with the app. You can still adjust the temperature with your thermostat to stay comfortable while you troubleshoot, which requires physical access to the device. If you’re not at home, your thermostat will automatically try to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network at regular intervals as long as it has enough battery power.

      If you run into any connectivity issues again, try some workarounds found here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9243422. And if more help is needed, please don’t hesitate to contact us again here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Just a few weeks out of warranty and the nest began to exceed 90 degrees and be so hot to the touch it was alarming. Paid pro to come and troubleshoot. Verdict: it’s junk and google/nest won’t stand behind their product. Lots of similar experiences out there if you do your research.

    Unreliable learning capability.

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

    This is my second Nest thermostat. It does not work as well as the first one. It behaves erratically as far as the próx sensor is concerned forcing me to touch it. The learning portion is also not really reliable and so far the notion that you don’t have to lift a finger is false advertisement.

    We bought this so excited to use it - newer house and boiler. We put it up - and we swear to GOD it was insanely inconsistent with doing it's only job - keeping the house warm! Read up on it - it saps power from your boiler - and really needs a dedicated power line to run. If you don't have that - don't buy it!
