    Purchased for full price. Two days later, price was dropped. Best Buy refused to honor new, lower price.

    Easy to setup and use

    Connects to your WiFi and then lets you control the temperature from the app or through your Alexa devices. Has a nice eco mode and tracks when you’re not in the house so the AC or heat doesn’t turn on while you are away.

    Big Differences between 2nd gen Nests! Great!

    I had just installed 2 2nd generation Nests and 3 weeks later this was released so I boxed them up and returned both to Best Buy and swapped them out for this generation version. Those of you who think there are no big differences in generations, you are dead wrong. This generation of Nest is thinner, larger more bold screen and has a Farsight setting which enhances the entire dial, noticing you from about 20 feet away looking at the thermostat. Plus it seems more intuitive and is just sleeker looking. What happened was Google bought these guys and said, lets update this product to make it look like a modern product put out by a Google company. Plus this syncs nicely with all 9 of my 2nd gen Nest Protects and is just a beautiful product. So go ahead and trade in your 2nd gen Nest Thermostat because you won't be sorry!

    Saving $$$ Already

    Posted .

    I live in Nebraska, so we have cold winters and hot summers. The NEST was bought as a household gift for the Holidays and it is awesome. My wife even loves it! Set up is pretty simple; just go to their website, watch a quick video and then see how your old thermostat is wired. Plug in old wires (usually 3-4) into corresponding new ports for the NEST. Using this in the first month has saved us $60 in the first month. (As compared to last years gas bill during the same month.) Our old thermostat was very outdated and we found that even the temperature was off by about 5 degrees after installing the NEST. It's also nice to turn your heat on with your smartphone using Wi-Fi (again, very easy setup) on those chilly mornings, before you get out of bed! Also, forget to turn off your heat or AC when you left for work? No problem, set it to "Away," mode using your phone and save money and energy. This product is worth the price and is fairly simple to set up. I recommend it to anyone who's looking to update an existing thermostat, save money and/or wants to help the planet by saving some energy.

    Works Flawlessly

    Sleek, stylish, available in multiple colors, and works flawlessly... what else can you ask for? Been using two Nest Gen 1 Thermostats since they were introduced, so when we purchased a new home, we naturally went with another Nest. Easy setup / installation and the new room sensors work like a dream. Highly recommended.
