Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had the 2nd gen before this. I swapped out the 2nd gen and put in the 3rd. I like the 3rd better because of the two main differences. 1) the screen is larger and higher resolution and 2) the motion sensor is now far field. The larger screen is nice so you can see information from further across the room. It's not a deal break and wouldn't be worth replacing a second gen on that alone. The far field sensor means the Nest can tell if you are around when you are further away or off to the side better than the old one. If you are further away, it will see you, activate the screen (which you can now see from further away) and know not to go into auto-away more (now called Eco). It is also slightly lower profile, and it looks great on my wall. It comes with a plate to cover more of the wall space if you are replacing an older thermostat and don't want old mounting holes and whatnot visible. As with any Nest, it makes it easy to control your temperature from anywhere in the world with your smartphone and with automated programming, it will save you money. Some utility companies will reimburse some of cost of buying this. Mine didn't but that didn't affect my choice to get this. I don't have the Protect or cameras they offer, but I do have an Echo, a Wink hub and Harmony Home Hub, all of which integrate with Nest. So it's all interconnected and easy to control from any of those platforms. Next is not HomeKit enabled yet (meaning you can't ask Siri on iOS to control it). So some people I know have replaced their Nest with another brand that is HomeKit enabled. I have an iPhone and iPad and use the iOS app to control it all the time, so it's perfectly usable for Apple folk, its just not embedded with the specific HomeKit platform. Not a huge deal really. If you have a Nest gen 1 or other non-smart thermostat, get this. If you have a Nest Gen 2, wait for a more significant upgrade. Unless you need it to be HomeKit, its the best out there.

Really like my Nest gen 3 thermostat. Installation was fairly straight forward. Make sure you use the online wiring guide. It creates a custom picture to follow based on the wires you currently use. Having the ability to control the temperature from the upstairs bedroom is really convenient. I know a lot of wifi thermostats can do that, but the additional features of the Nest make it stand out. I especially like the balance choices for using the heat pump vs aux heat.

Great thermostat work smart and easy to use ..keep my house cold and this summer .

Networking your house wiht Wifi items makes life so much easier. You can change when sitting in your chair or laying in bed. Even change the temperature while away.

Easy to use! Saves energy! Can control via WiFi, I love it!

It’s very easy to install and use. I really like being able to control it remotely.

It was an easy install, I love to be able to control the temp from my phone. Works great! Would recommend to everyone!

On line directions for the install made it all easy. Performance since was as advertised. Great product!

Love the ease and ability for it to track your usage and makes a schedule based and how you use it...looks cool too.

I have purchased three (3) of these for my home. All them were easy to install. There are not many instructions included in the box; however the instructions on line made up for that. Truth be told for general installation directions are not needed; however if you are wanting to set everything up the online instructions help. We have had these installed for about 3 months now and we have seen our bill reduced by about 15-20% of course the dog-days of Texas summer are not yet upon us.

I believe the best smart thermostat is the best. It also has a nice look to it.

Works well, looks modern, easy to install and to program

My 2cd Nest..works great and learns my patterns. Highly recommend

Thermostats are basically utilitarian pieces of equipment; nothing too sexy about them. But this little beauty is smart and learns your schedule, automatically turning down heat during the day and then bringing it back up in time dinner. You can control via a smartphone app from anywhere, and you get an automatic monthly summary of your energy usage. I've already noticed a reduction in the amount of time my heat pump is running, and I suspect it will pay for itself within two years. Highly recommended.

Super easy to install and set up. We love this Thermostat super easy to use. Hope they integrate into HomeKit soon!

So easy to use. Love all nest products Set dial to exactly the temperature you want

This is a great looking addition to my smart home. My wife likes it also and the app is very user friendly.

I had an old manual thermostat and recently purchased the Nest system. It’s easy to set up and install, and is compatible with most home furnace and HVAC systems. The system is a self learning system and will quickly adapt to your schedule, and while you can set a general program to reduce energy usage is tremendously beneficial, the remote access is almost as helpful should your schedule change unexpectedly. This is a worthwhile investment to improve energy efficiency.

I enjoy that it will adjust the temperature when you are gone and readjust when you return. It does sometimes adjust when it feels like it though. It is super easy to use. I am definitely glad to have it. I would recommend it.

Very happy with this purchase. Installation was easy and straight forward. I found a lot of YouTube videos to guide me when confused about anything. The app itself was easy to set up. Configuration is a bit challenging at first but it's a breeze once you figure it out. It would have helped if a manual existed to walk one through it, though. Overall, I'm happy about the purchase.
